Travis Adams RP | MIN
Twins' Travis Adams: Fans seven in first start
Adams did not factor into the decision in Monday's 6-3 loss at Detroit, conceding two runs on four hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out seven.
The Minnesota rookie fared well in his first career start after logging four relief appearances this season. Adams generated an astounding 16 whiffs out his 63 total pitches against a Detroit squad that entered the contest ranked sixth in total runs scored. The lone blemish on the right-hander's performance was a two-run homer given up to Wenceel Perez in the fifth. Given this impressive outing, it's possible the Twins decide to give Adams more starts in the future. Across 17.1 total frames, the 25-year-old sports a 6.75 ERA, 3.63 FIP, 1.38 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB.

Dillon Dingler C | DET
Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Hits 10th home run Monday
Dingler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the Twins.
Dingler was one of three Detroit players to go deep as the Tigers rallied from an early 2-0 hole to secure the win. The 26-year-old catcher is having a productive sophomore campaign, as he's now up to 10 home runs to go along with a .749 OPS across 85 games. Last year, Dingler posted just a .505 OPS in 27 regular-season games as he served primarily in a backup role, but he's emerged as Detroit's clear top backstop in 2025 due to his improved offensive output.

Henry Lalane SP | NYY
Yankees' Henry Lalane: Comes back from IL
Lalane (shoulder) struck out three batters and issued three walks over two scoreless innings for Single-A Tampa on Tuesday after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list.
On the shelf all season while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, Lalane was cleared to rejoin Tampa after making just one three-inning rehab appearance in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. His control was unsurprisingly shaky Tuesday following his return from an extended absence, as he didn't give up a hit but spotted just 18 of his 40 pitches for strikes and hit a batter and threw a wild pitch in addition to issuing three free passes. The 21-year-old southpaw remains one of the Yankees' top lower-level pitching prospects, but some bumpy outings should be expected over the rest of the season while he looks to return to form following surgery.

Casey Mize SP | DET
Tigers' Casey Mize: Survives three long balls for win
Mize (10-4) earned the win Monday against the Twins, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.
The Detroit right-hander worked around three solo homers in this 67-pitch performance to reach double-digit wins for the first time in his five-year career. Mize also managed to notch his first quality start of the second half, marking his seventh total for the season. Through 100.1 total innings, the 28-year-old has pitched to a 3.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 88:26 K:BB while conceding 15 home runs. Mize currently lines up to make his next start at home against the Angels this weekend.

Kyle Finnegan RP | DET
Tigers' Kyle Finnegan: Notches second save with Detroit
Finnegan picked up the save in Monday's 6-3 win against Minnesota, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out two over a scoreless inning.
Finnegan worked around a one-out single by Royce Lewis to tally his 22nd save of the season. Despite not pitching since Saturday, Will Vest did not appear in this contest; however, he tossed 29 pitches across Friday and Saturday. Finnegan appears to have pulled ahead Vest as the primary saves option in Detroit, but the situation remains fluid given manager A.J. Hinch's proclivity to mix and match relievers based on matchups. In 41.1 total innings, Finnegan owns a 4.14 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB while converting 22-of-28 save chances.

Kerry Carpenter RF | DET
Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Goes deep again Monday
Carpenter went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the Twins.
Carpenter has been on a tear since coming off the injured list last week after missing about a month due to a strained hamstring, as he's now gone 8-for-20 with three home runs and six RBI across seven games. For the season, the 27-year-old is up to 19 long balls, putting him within one of his career high. So long as Carpenter stays healthy, he seems to be in a good position to produce big stats down the stretch.

Wenceel Perez RF | DET
Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Continues surge Monday
Perez went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the Twins.
Perez hit his ninth home run of the season in the fifth inning, continuing his strong play as of late. The outfielder has gone 10-for-21 over his last six games with two home runs, two doubles, a triple and four RBI. Perez has also swiped two bases during the hot stretch, showing some nice fantasy versatility. The 25-year-old has been a bit up and down this year, though he seems to be trending upward recently, and he continues to see steady playing time in right field for a fairly reliable floor.

Austin Slater RF | TB
Yankees' Austin Slater: Dealing with hamstring issue
Slater (undisclosed) exited Monday's contest versus Texas as a result of left hamstring tightness, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
Slater appears to have torqued his left hamstring while busting it down the line on a ground ball in the first inning. Depending on the severity of the injury, the outfielder could be forced to miss some action moving forward, and potentially even be placed on the injured list.

Austin Slater RF | TB
Yankees' Austin Slater: Exits early Monday
Slater (undisclosed) exited Monday's contest against the Rangers in the top of the first inning, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Slater was making his first start with the Yankees after being traded to the team July 30, but his day was cut short after grounding into a fielder's choice in the top of the first. The outfieler appeared to have come up lame after running down the baseline, and more information on his status will likely come in the near future. In the meantime, Jasson Dominguez replaced him in left field versus Texas.

Roman Anthony OF | BOS
Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Dealing with back tightness
Anthony was scratched from Monday's starting lineup against Kansas City due to mid-back tightness, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
This appears to be a day-to-day situation for Anthony, who was in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak entering Monday. Masataka Yoshida could see more at-bats in the DH slot until Anthony is cleared to return.
