Bart suffered a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand after being hit by a pitch Thursday versus the Red Sox.

Bart took a 97.7-mph fastball from Erik Miller off his left hand with two outs in the top of the seventh inning, and he was immediately removed from the game. The catcher will likely undergo additional imaging, and an update on his status will likely come thereafter.

Miller (4-6) took the loss Thursday against the Tigers, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out five.

Detroit got to Miller early Thursday, scoring three runs in the first inning (two coming on a Dillon Dingler homer) before giving up a fourth run in the second. Miller managed to settle in and hold the Tigers scoreless over his final three frames, but Seattle couldn't climb out of the early hole in an eventual shutout defeat. The 27-year-old Miller's been slumping of late, going 0-4 with a 5.40 ERA across 26.1 frames in his last five outings. Overall, his ERA sits at 3.08 with a 0.95 WHIP and 79:15 K:BB across 79 innings this season. Miller will look to get back on track in his next start, tentatively scheduled to come on the road next week against the Yankees.

Arrighetti (foot) suffered an injury and was removed from his minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo in the third inning, Thomas Hall of The Jays Nation reports.

Arrighetti appeared to tweak his troublesome right foot with one out in the top of the third inning, and he was forced to exit as a result. The right-hander has been on the 15-day injured list since July 25 while battling nerve irritation in his right foot, and he was making the first start of his minor-league rehab assignment Thursday. More information on Arrighetti's status will likely be provided in the near future, but he certainly appears to have suffered a setback in his recovery.

Valdez (7-7) earned the win Thursday over the Mariners, allowing five hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Valdez has now gone seven frames in back-to-back starts while giving up just four runs across 19 innings in his last three outings -- he had struggled to a 7.71 ERA across 18.2 frames in his previous four starts. Valdez has lowered his ERA to 4.17 across 127.1 innings this season with a 1.37 WHIP and 103:45 K:BB. He's currently slated to face the Guardians at home his next time out.

McGonigle went 2-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Thursday's 11-0 win over the Mariners.

McGonigle snapped a mini 0-for-12 slump with his second multi-hit performance in five games this month. The rookie is also starting to showcase his power a bit more recently, as he has three home runs across his last six contests to give him 12 long balls on the season. McGonigle appears to be the heavy favorite for AL Rookie of the Year honors at this point, and the 21-year-old's long-term fantasy value continues to climb.

Dingler went 3-for-6 with a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Thursday's 11-0 win over the Mariners.

Dingler continued his impressive power surge as he led Detroit's offensive onslaught Thursday. The slugging backstop has gone deep in three straight games and has four homers across his last six contests, pushing him up to 26 for the season. Dingler came into the year with 14 career long balls at the MLB level, so he has certainly exceeded expectations in 2026. The 27-year-old ranks second in the majors in home runs among catchers and leads his position group with 78 RBI.

Wilcox left Thursday's game versus the Tigers due to left oblique tightness.

Wilcox came on in relief with one out in the top of the seventh. He gave up three earned runs on a homer after allowing two singles. Given the nature of the injury, it can be expected that the right-hander will land on the injured list.

Bazzana went 0-for-2 with a walk before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the sixth inning of Thursday's 13-6 loss to the Mets.

Bazzana, who returned to the leadoff spot Thursday with Steven Kwan getting a day off, was removed for pinch hitter Jo Adell in the sixth inning. The game was still in doubt -- New York held a 6-5 lead at the time -- so it wasn't case of emptying the bench in a blowout. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt may have made the move because a lefty reliever entered the game, but the manager hasn't made a habit of pinch hitting for Bazzana against lefties. The rookie has a .188/.299/.238 slash line over 117 plate appearances against southpaws.

Urias was removed from Thursday's game against the Cubs due to right quad discomfort, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Urias injured himself while legging out a double in the fourth inning. He remained on the base paths for the rest of the frame but was pulled once Toronto went on defense in the next half-inning. He's scheduled to undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of his injury and can be considered day-to-day in the meantime.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Thursday's 13-6 loss to the Mets.

Lowe ate into a Mets lead in the fifth inning when he smacked a three-run shot, his 12th homer of the season and first with Cleveland. He's enjoying the Guardians uniform thus far, as Lowe is 4-for-10 with a double, a home run and five RBI in two starts with his new team.
