Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Collects third win of 2025
Schlittler (3-3) earned the win against the Tigers on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven across six innings.

He generated 13 whiffs on 95 pitches (62 strikes) and has recorded at least seven strikeouts and a quality start in four of his last five outings. Schlittler sits at a 3.05 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 63:24 K:BB across 56 innings since making his major-league debut July 9. He's slated to start against the Twins on the road next week.

Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Collects 20th homer Thursday
Stanton went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-3 win over Detroit.
Stanton struck out three times Thursday, but he did give the Yankees a 5-1 lead in the third inning with a 429-foot solo homer to left field. It was his 20th home run of the year, which is impressive given that he was on the shelf until mid-June due to tendinitis in both elbows and has played in just 63 games. Stanton has a .941 OPS with 31 runs and 49 RBI across 226 plate appearances this season.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Ties Yankee great in home runs
Judge went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and an additional run scored during the Yankees' 9-3 win over the Tigers on Thursday.

Judge's second homer was the 361st of his major-league career, which tied Yankee great Joe DiMaggio for fourth most in franchise history. Judge struggled at the plate after returning from an elbow strain in early August, but he has a 1.179 OPS with four solo home runs and 10 runs scored over his last 10 games

Alek Manoah RP | LAA
Blue Jays' Alek Manoah: Stuck in Triple-A
The Blue Jays reinstated Manoah (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.
The Blue Jays have five starters that are healthy in their rotation as of Thursday, and Manoah will not be joining them as a sixth man at this time. If he does not rejoin the big-league club in 2025, he should have a path back into the rotation in 2026 with Shane Bieber holding a player option while Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt are set to become free agents. Manoah had a 3.09 ERA with a 18:12 K:BB in 23.1 innings across five games for Triple-A Buffalo during his rehab assignment, which is where he is set to continue to pitch. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays designated Orelvis Martinez (undisclosed) for assignment Thursday.
