  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Tigers' Kenley Jansen: Saddled with sixth blown save

    Jansen was charged with a blown save Wednesday against the Twins, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one.

    Jansen was summoned to record the game's final five outs in a bases-loaded situation in the eighth inning, but he was unable to extricate Detroit from the jam and mustered only one out before being pulled. The veteran right-hander remains seven saves away from joining the illustrious 500-save club, so he'll need a very productive rest of September in order to accomplish that feat in 2026. Through 36 innings this year, he has a 4.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB with 17 saves in 23 opportunities.

  • John Peck SS | DET

    Tigers' John Peck: Collects first MLB hit, RBI in win

    Peck went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 11-6, extra-innings win over the Twins.

    Peck delivered a double in the second inning, which was his first major-league hit and plated his first two runs. The 24-year-old just got called up from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, and it appears that he's going to get a long look at shortstop, with fellow rookies Kevin McGonigle and Hao-Yu Lee settling in at third base and second base, respectively. Peck could help secure himself a regular role with the Tigers in 2027 if he finishes this year with a flourish.

  • Drew Anderson RP | DET

    Tigers' Drew Anderson: Steady results continue

    Anderson took a no-decision against the Twins on Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

    The right-hander continues to give the Tigers serviceable work since joining the rotation following the trades of Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize. Anderson has tallied at least four punchouts in five consecutive starts, giving up three runs or fewer each time out. He also threw a season-high 90 pitches Wednesday, suggesting he's ready to handle a full starter's workload going forward. Anderson is set to bring a season 3.73 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 101:37 K:BB over 91.2 innings into a home rematch with Minnesota.

  • Dean Kremer SP | MIN

    Twins' Dean Kremer: Chased in fifth inning

    Kremer took a no-decision against the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in four-plus innings. He struck out five.

    Detroit did its damage in the second and fifth innings, plating a pair of runs in each frame. After giving up just one run in each of his first two starts with the Twins, Kremer has since conceded at least four runs in three of his past four outings. The right-hander will try to right the ship in a rematch with the Tigers in Detroit, where he'll bring a 4.99 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 28:13 K:BB over 30.2 innings with Minnesota.

  • Max Clark CF | DET

    Tigers' Max Clark: Tallies three doubles in win

    Clark went 3-for-4 with two walks, three doubles, an RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 11-6, extra-innings win over the Twins.

    Clark came into the contest batting just .179 in his previous 10 games, but he broke out of his slump in a big way Wednesday. The rookie outfielder became the first Detroit player with three doubles in a game since Miguel Cabrera back in 2018. Clark has been a bit up and down since making his MLB debut back on July 31, though the 21-year-old has certainly flashed signs of his immense potential with a .766 OPS through his first 30 contests.

  • Roman Anthony LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Three more hits, homer vs. M's

    Anthony went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.

    Anthony cut Boston's deficit to 8-2 in the seventh inning with a 370-foot shot off Michael Rucker, his second homer this season and first since returning from an extended IL stint. Anthony has certainly hit the ground running following a nearly four-month absence -- he has at least two hits in each of his last four games, going 9-for-18 with four extra-base hits since rejoining the Red Sox. Overall, Anthony is slashing .268/.376/.402 with 16 runs scored, six RBI and two steals across 149 plate appearances this year.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Goes 4.2 innings vs. Boston

    Miller did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing a run on seven hits and a walk across 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

    After he was demoted to the bullpen last week, the right-hander quickly rejoined the M's starting rotation after Emerson Hancock (groin) landed on the IL. Miller was limited to 65 pitches Wednesday, as he managed to work his way through traffic to hold Boston to one run. Overall, it was a step in the right direction for Miller, who struggled to a 9.00 ERA across 20 frames in his previous four starts. He'll carry a 4.01 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 95:26 K:BB into his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come at home against the Rangers.

  • Red Sox's Patrick Sandoval: Falls to Seattle

    Sandoval (1-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out two.

    After holding Seattle scoreless through two innings, things fell apart for Sandoval in the third, when the Mariners put up four runs, including three that came with two outs. Sandoval has now dropped four of his last five starts despite holding opponents to two runs or fewer in three of those outings. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.41 with a 1.73 WHIP and 50:25 K:BB through 10 starts (49 innings). Sandoval currently lines up to face the Angels at home his next time out.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Strikes out 11 in no-decision

    Rogers allowed two runs on six hits and no walks over 6.2 innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Rockies. He struck out 11.

    After he was tagged for six runs in five innings his last time out, Rogers rebounded with a dominant performance Wednesday, as he set a season high with 11 strikeouts. The left-hander's ERA now sits at 4.30 across 26 starts (144.1 innings) this season with a 1.23 WHIP and 132:37 K:BB. Rogers currently lines up to face the Guardians at home in his next outing.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: First multi-homer game of 2026

    Jensen went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to Miami.

    It was Jensen's first multi-homer game of the year and the second of his career. The catcher is picking up steam in the power department, going yard four times in his past six outings. Through 521 plate appearances, Jensen is slashing .226/.313/.426 with 21 homers, 26 doubles, 64 RBI and 63 runs scored this year.
