  • Caden Dana SP | LAA

    Angels' Caden Dana: Ineffective in loss

    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.

  • Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Belts 26th home run Tuesday

    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.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Goes deep in loss

    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.

  • Twins' Ryan Fitzgerald: Goes deep in loss

    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.

  • David Bednar RP | NYY

    Yankees' David Bednar: Allows homer in 25th save

    Bednar picked up the save Tuesday against the Twins. He allowed a solo homer while striking out one over an inning.

    The right-hander surrendered a deep shot to Trevor Larnach with one out in the ninth inning but settled in to retire the next two batters, locking down a Yankees win and his 25th save. Since arriving at the deadline, Bednar has been solid in pinstripes, compiling a 2.75 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, eight saves, three wins and three blown saves across 17 outings.

  • Trent Grisham CF | NYY

    Yankees' Trent Grisham: Blasts 31st homer

    Grisham went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Twins.

    Grisham played a big part in Tuesday's slugfest, pacing the Yankees with three RBI. The center fielder is putting together a career-best season, slashing .238/.347/.465 with nine doubles, a triple, 31 homers and 67 RBI through 133 games. The homer and RBI did both break a rare nine-game drought where Grisham was shut out in both categories.

  • Zebby Matthews SP | MIN

    Twins' Zebby Matthews: Knocked around in sixth loss

    Matthews (4-6) took the loss Tuesday, allowing nine runs on 11 hits and two walks over three innings in a 10-9 loss against the Yankees. He struck out two.

    Matthews was tagged for runs in each of the three innings he worked Tuesday, failing to find a groove before being pulled. The 25-year-old has endured a tough season, posting a 5.97 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 15 starts and 72.1 innings. Still, there are reasons for optimism in his underlying metrics, including a 3.85 FIP and 3.4 K/BB pointing to better potential than the surface stats suggest.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Reaches 30 steals

    Story went 3-for-4 and stole two bases in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics.

    Story stole bags after singling in the first and third innings. The two thefts upped his season total to a career-high 30. More impressive, no backstop has been able to catch him stealing yet in 2025. This marks the fourth time since the expansion era began in 1961 that a player has started a season with 30 straight successful attempts.

  • Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Five walks in no-decision

    Schlittler did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on three hits and five walks over 4.2 innings in a 10-9 win over the Twins. He struck out six.

    Schlittler battled command issues Tuesday, throwing just 49 of his 89 pitches for strikes and issuing a career-high five walks. Despite some ups and downs with consistency, the rookie right-hander has flashed potential in his debut campaign. Through 12 starts, he owns a 3.41 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 60.2 innings.

  • Royals' Michael Wacha: Shelled in return from IL

    Wacha (9-12) took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and no walks over 2.2 innings against the Mariners. He recorded no strikeouts.

    Wacha was rocked in his first start back from a brief injured list stint for a concussion, lasting fewer than three innings while surrendering six extra-base hits, including homers to Dominic Canzone and Cal Raleigh. The veteran right-hander entered with a 3.45 ERA and 1.18 WHIP, but those marks climbed to 3.79 and 1.22, respectively, across 29 starts and 161.2 innings this season.
