  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Struggles in no-decision

    Berrios did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over Tampa Bay. He allowed three runs on four hits and two walks over four innings.

    All the damage against Berrios came in the third inning when Brandon Lowe was credited with a three-run homer that stood up on replay, even though a fan was ruled to have interfered with the play by reaching out and catching it. It was Berrios' first start this season in which he did not record a strikeout, and he generated only two whiffs on 78 pitches. He hasn't earned a win since Aug. 12 and has just one quality start over his last eight appearances. During that span, Berrios has produced a 4.86 ERA, raising his season mark to 4.06 alongside a 135:54 K:BB through 164 frames. He's projected for a home matchup with the Red Sox next week.

  • Jeff Hoffman RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jeff Hoffman: Escapes with save

    Hoffman recorded two outs, both by strikeout, to earn a save against the Rays on Tuesday. He gave up a walk and a hit but was not charged with a run.

    Hoffman entered a 6-4 game with a runner on third and one out in the ninth inning. The inherited runner scored on an RBI single by Brandon Lowe before Hoffman walked Junior Caminero, but the right-hander rallied to strike out the final two batters he faced. It was Hoffman's 31st save in 38 chances and his first conversion since Sept. 2. He's given up one run over his last 7.2 innings and now owns a 4.64 ERA with an 83:23 K:BB through 64 frames.

  • Ryan Pepiot SP | TB

    Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Takes loss in short outing

    Pepiot (11-11) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks over 1.2 innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Blue Jays.

    Pepiot missed his last scheduled start due to fatigue and clearly didn't have his best stuff Tuesday. He gave up a run in the first inning before Toronto plated three in the second. He tied his shortest outing of the year by recording only five outs, and his season ERA jumped from 3.59 to 3.77. On a positive note, his fastball sat at 95.5 mph, up slightly from his season average of 95.1 mph. Pepiot entered Tuesday on a 15-inning scoreless streak, but he hasn't produced a quality start since July 27. He's currently projected to face the Red Sox at home this weekend.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Back in lineup Tuesday

    Volpe (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday against the Twins.

    The 24-year-old shortstop will return to the starting nine for the first time since Sept. 9. Volpe has been dealing with a partially torn left labrum since May, but he received a cortisone injection last week and has improved enough to re-enter the lineup. The 2025 campaign has mostly been a struggle for Volpe, who has a .661 OPS while taking a step back defensively with minus-9 OAA and plus-1 DRS, which are significant drops from the plus-14 OAA and plus-6 DRS he posted during the 2024 regular season. Volpe and Jose Caballero are likely to split reps at shortstop to close out the season.

  • Tyler O'Neill RF | BAL

    Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    O'Neill is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    O'Neill has gone 2-for-11 with a walk and an RBI in three games since coming off the injured list Friday and will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Jordan Westburg (ankle) is serving as the designated hitter in his return from the IL while Dylan Carlson picks up a start in the outfield.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Role diminishing

    Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    The 28-year-old is sitting for the fourth time in the past six contests, as Coby Mayo is operating as Baltimore's primary first baseman. Samuel Basallo and Tyler O'Neill have been picking up at-bats at designated hitter over the past week, which has pushed Mountcastle into a less consistent role. He hasn't helped his cause at the plate in September with a .194/.231/.222 slash line in nine games.

  • Grant Taylor RP | CHW

    White Sox's Grant Taylor: Available Tuesday

    Taylor (groin) will be available out of the bullpen for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

    Taylor hasn't pitched since suffering a groin strain during Wednesday's game versus the Rays. After coming away from his bullpen session Monday without any issues, the White Sox have given him the green light to return to game action. The 23-year-old hasn't exactly been effective in his MLB debut, accumulating a 5.68 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 31.2 innings.

  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Lee is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Lee has a .178/.240/.289 slash line through 13 games in September and will take a seat Tuesday after starting the previous four contests. Ryan Fitzgerald will instead start at shortstop and bat eighth versus New York righty Cam Schlittler.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Stepping out of lineup

    Keaschall is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Keaschall will hit the bench after a run of 12 straight starts, during which he batted .320 (16-for-50) with three walks, two doubles, five steals, eight RBI and seven runs. Austin Martin will shift to second base while James Outman receives a start in left field.

  • Royals' Stephen Kolek: Ready for another start Thursday

    Kolek is slated to start Thursday's game versus the Mariners in Kansas City, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Following his Sept. 4 call-up from Triple-A Omaha, Kolek will be making his third straight turn through the rotation. The Royals will return Michael Wacha (personal) from the paternity list Tuesday and Cole Ragans (shoulder) from the injured list Wednesday, but Kolek will pick up another start after Seth Lugo (back) recently succumbed to a setback that could jeopardize his availability for the remainder of the season. Over his last two outings, Kolek has produced a 1.98 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB in 13.2 innings.
