Vest (6-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits across an inning of relief to take the loss in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning defeat to the Guardians.

After the Tigers forced extra innings on a Kerry Carpenter solo home run in the bottom of the ninth, Vest was tapped for the top of the 10th, and he ran into trouble right away. The veteran righty started the frame by allowing three doubles and a triple before recording any outs, giving Cleveland three quick runs. Vest had rattled off five straight scoreless appearances before Tuesday, and his ERA is still a tidy 2.91 overall, so the Detroit closer should be able to move past the rough performance and get back on track soon.

De Vries went 2-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday's playoff game for Double-A Midland against Amarillo.

He hit an opposite-field home run in his first career playoff at-bat Tuesday and has six homers in his last nine games for the RockHounds. De Vries, one of the best prospects to get traded at the trade deadline in recent memory, slashed .281/.359/.551 with five home runs, two steals, a 144 wRC+ and a 19.4 percent strikeout rate in 21 regular-season games at Double-A as an 18-year-old. The uber-talented switch hitter appears to be on the fast track to the big leagues and figures to be Jacob Wilson's double-play partner by late 2026 or early 2027.

Early allowed one run on five hits and no walks while striking out seven in 5.1 innings Tuesday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.

Early was phenomenal again in his second career major-league start, both of which have come against the Athletics. He generated 14 whiffs and was pounding the zone with a 70 percent strike rate on 80 pitches. Early also tied the Red Sox record with 18 strikeouts through his first two career starts. He was pulled for Greg Weissert with a runner on first after pitching into the sixth and Weissert would allow the runner to score on a double, spoiling Early's chances for the win. Early has done enough to continue on in the rotation and lines up for a road start versus the Rays this weekend.

Mize allowed three runs on seven hits across 5.1 innings and did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians. He walked one and struck out eight.

Mize was in line for his sixth loss of the season before Kerry Carpenter homered in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the game at 3-3 and force extra innings. It was a slight step back for Mize, who had allowed a total of three runs on nine hits across 11 innings in his previous two starts combined. On the bright side, the righty continued to display good strikeout potential. He has now fanned 16 batters in 11.1 innings over his last two appearances, and his 8.3 K/9 is a big improvement from the 6.9 mark he posted during the 2024 regular season. Mize will look to keep missing bats and try to get back into the win column in his next outing, which is penciled in for Sunday against Atlanta.

Guzman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-2 loss against the Brewers.

Guzman belted his first career homer Tuesday, driving a Freddy Peralta pitch to straightaway center field in the fifth inning to get the Angels on the board. The 21-year-old has opened his big-league career 3-for-9 across three games and should continue to see steady opportunities down the stretch with Zach Neto (hand) sidelined.

Torkelson went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

Torkelson was dialed in all night as he delivered his first four-hit performance of the season. He saved his best for last, belting his 29th home run of the year in the bottom of the 10th inning as the Tigers tried to cut into a 7-3 deficit. Torkelson is now two away from tying his career high of 31 homers, which he recorded back in 2023. Tuesday's long ball snapped an 18-game stretch without a home run for the 26-year-old slugger.

Dana (0-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Brewers. He struck out four.

Dana struggled to settle in Tuesday, surrendering runs in each of the four innings he pitched. The Angels like his raw stuff and strikeout potential, but consistency has remained an issue both in the minors and the majors. Across 18 starts and 82 innings at Triple-A Salt Lake, he carries a 5.93 ERA and 1.59 WHIP, while his five MLB outings have produced a 7.45 ERA and 1.86 WHIP over 19.1 innings.

Carpenter appeared as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

Carpenter didn't get the start with Cleveland sending lefty Joey Cantillo to the mound, but the former still managed to have an impact. Appearing as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Detroit outfielder went deep to tie the game at 3-3 and force extra innings. Carpenter has been in a nice power groove recently with four long balls in his last 10 games, and he's already set a new career high with 26 home runs this season.

Torres went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

Torres struck in the third inning with his second home run of September and 16th of the season. Outside of the long balls, it's mostly been a struggle this month for the Detroit infielder, as he's batting just .152 across 13 games. Overall, Torres has been much better with a .254 average through 135 games, and his 16 homers and 73 RBI have both surpassed the totals he posted last year with the Yankees.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's loss against the Yankees.

Fitzgerald launched his third career homer in Tuesday's loss, turning on a cutter in a lefty-lefty battle against Ryan Yarbrough. Though his playing time has been sporadic, the infielder has made the most of recent opportunities, going 5-for-14 with two long balls and six RBI so far in September.
