Woods Richardson (2-7) picked up the win over the Red Sox on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over three relief innings. He struck out two.

The lone run off the right-hander came on a bizarre play in the seventh inning when the scoreboard showed the wrong number of outs and both teams lost track, and a Boston runner trotted home without tagging up at third base on a flyout before Toronto got the ball to first base to record a somewhat haphazard double play. Starter Jameson Taillon (forearm) left the game early, and if he ends up landing on the IL, Woods Richardson could be the next man up in the rotation. Over four long-relief appearances for the Jays this season, he's managed a 0.69 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 13 innings despite a poor 7:8 K:BB.

Springer went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Red Sox.

The veteran slugger singled in the sixth inning and swiped second before coming home with the winning run in a 2-1 victory. Springer's had a tough season on the health front, seeing action in 89 of the Blue Jays' 120 games, but he appears to be back in top form -- since the All-Star break he's delivered a .287/.360/.463 slash line with three of his 12 homers and three of his nine steals on the year, to go along with 11 runs and 14 RBI in 23 contests.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday in an appearance on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Rodon (elbow) will make another rehab start Thursday or Friday.

Rodon was touched up for three runs on three hits and two walks over 2.2 innings in his first rehab outing with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. He threw 46 pitches in the outing, so Rodon needs to get stretched out more before rejoining the Yankees rotation. The veteran left-hander is working his way back from elbow inflammation.

Buxton (hip) went through a full workout at Target Field on Monday, MLB.com reports.

Working his way back from a right hip impingement, Buxton ran the bases and took batting practice on the field as part of a "very encouraging" workout, per Twins manager Derek Shelton. The club will wait to see how Buxton recovers from the workout before determining next steps, but Shelton noted that the outfielder won't need a rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Buxton's return appears to be imminent, but the Twins could offer more clarity on the center fielder's status later Tuesday.

Caglianone went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

Caglianone gave Kansas City an early lead with a run-scoring single off Tarik Skubal in the first inning. He got to Skubal again in the third, this time launching a two-run homer to give the Royals a 3-0 advantage. The long ball was his third over his past three games, and Caglianone is in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak during which he has a 1.278 OPS with four homers and 12 RBI. Since the All-Star break, Caglianone is slashing .291/.309/.595 with six homers and 17 RBI across 21 contests.

Cameron allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Monday.

Cameron was staked to an early 3-0 lead before giving up two runs in the third inning. He still managed to hold the lead until the sixth, when he was charged with two more runs after he departed with two outs. It was a step back -- albeit against one of the league's best teams -- for Cameron, who entered Monday with three straight quality starts on his ledger, giving up just one run over 23 innings during that span. The left-hander lines up to make his next start on the road against the Angels.

Trout went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

Trout gave the Angels an early lead with a 418-foot solo homer to center field in the first inning. However, that was the only run his team scored despite Trout reaching three more times (all on walks). The long ball was just the second over 22 games since the All-Star break for the star outfielder, who is batting a meager .237 during that stretch. Still, Trout is up to 20 home runs on the campaign, marking the 11th time he's reached that mark in his storied career.

Detmers allowed one run on three hits and four walks while striking out six batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.

Though Detmers issued four free passes, he had pretty good control overall, throwing 55 of 88 pitches for strikes. The southpaw didn't give up any extra-base hits and recorded his ninth quality start of the campaign. Detmers still hasn't earned a win since June 16, but this was a promising outing after he had posted a 5.05 ERA across his previous eight starts. He's lined up to make his next appearance at home versus Kansas City.

Latz earned a save against the Angels on Monday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

Latz entered in the bottom of the 10th inning with Texas up 4-1. He had to grind a bit, working around a one-out walk and throwing 24 total pitches, but the right-hander was able to get three outs without allowing any runs. Latz lowered his season ERA to a sterling 1.83 and is now up to 23 saves, sixth-most in the American League.

Gore allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.

Gore was dominant in the outing, racking up 22 swinging strikes and nine punchouts. However, he needed 103 pitches to get through 5.1 frames, and the Rangers' offense didn't come to life until the 10th inning, so he had to settle for a no-decision. Regardless, Gore tied his second-highest strikeout total of the campaign and has now given up just one earned run over 11.1 frames across his past two starts. He's lined up to make his next start on the road against the Athletics.
