Cantillo (8-7) took the loss against the Mets on Tuesday, allowing five runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings.

It was a bit of a tough-luck loss for Cantillo given that the three-run homer he yielded to Luis Torrens in the second inning would not have happened had it not been for a throwing error by Gabriel Arias to keep the frame alive. Cantillo has taken the loss in three of his last four outings, with his last quality start taking place June 26 against the Mariners. He'll take a 3.87 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 118.2 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend on the road against the White Sox.

Yesavage was removed from Tuesday's game against the Astros due to left knee discomfort, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Yesavage pitched two shutout innings while allowing just one batter to reach base via a walk, but he injured his knee while warming up for the third inning and was taken out of the game following a visit from a trainer. It's unknown whether the 23-year-old is at risk of missing his next start -- tentatively lined up for Monday against Boston -- but the Blue Jays should provide an update on his health in the near future.

Arrighetti (foot) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Arrighetti landed on the injured list July 25 due to nerve irritation in his right foot, but he's made encouraging progress in his recovery and even said he'd be willing to pitch in Toronto's current series against the Astros -- his former team -- if needed. He won't be eligible to return from the IL until Sunday, however, and the Blue Jays will likely hold off on having him make his team debut until around mid-August.

Jobe (elbow) has joined the Tigers for their road trip and will be activated from the 60-day injured list to make a start this weekend in San Francisco, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Jobe will claim one of the vacancies in the Detroit rotation after the Tigers traded Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers and Casey Mize to the Padres ahead of Monday's deadline. Though he hasn't pitched for the Tigers since May 28, 2025 before undergoing Tommy John surgery shortly thereafter, Jobe looked strong during his month-long rehab assignment. Over five starts across stops with four affiliates, Jobe amassed a 1.76 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB in 15.1 innings. He built up to 69 pitches during his final rehab outing Sunday, so he could be operating with a workload restriction during his 2026 debut with Detroit.

The Tigers recalled Diaz from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The Tigers had an extra spot available on their big-league pitching staff after unloading Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize ahead of the trade deadline, so they'll call upon Diaz to provide extra bullpen depth until the team has to fill the empty rotation spots. The 25-year-old righty has posted a 2.38 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 11.1 innings since joining the Tigers organization in June and will likely be limited to low-leverage work as long as he's with Detroit.

Anderson will start Wednesday's game against the Mariners and is expected to transition into a full-time rotation role, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

With Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize shipped out of town at the trade deadline, the Tigers need to fill some rotation spots, and Anderson will be tapped to fill one of the openings. The 32-year-old has pitched almost exclusively out of the bullpen this season, posting a 4.24 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 78:24 K:BB across 63.2 innings. He hasn't recorded more than five outs in any appearance in more than a month, so Anderson will likely be operating with a light pitch count in what will be his third start of the season. Ty Madden could be called upon to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen once Anderson exits the game.

The Guardians transferred Armstrong (calf) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Armstrong hit the 15-day injured list July 25 due to left calf strain. He won't be eligible to return until Sept. 23, so there's a chance he will not return until the 2027 season.

Correa (ankle) was cleared to swing a bat Tuesday and is hopeful to return from the 60-day injured list before the end of the season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Correa underwent what was believed to be season-ending ankle surgery May 11, as the procedure was expected to carry an estimated recovery timeline of 6-to-8 months. However, as McTaggart reports, Correa is attempting to defy the odds and return to action late in the season as the Astros jockey for a playoff spot. Correa slashed .279/.369/.418 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 22 runs scored and one stolen base across 141 plate appearances before hitting the shelf.

Manager Matt Quatraro said that Avila is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

The 24-year-old was placed on the injured list Sunday due to forearm tightness, and further evaluation apparently revealed a torn UCL. Avila will miss the rest of this year and is also likely to be sidelined for the full 2027 season. He made 21 appearances (12 starts) for Kansas City prior to the injury and had a 5.53 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 61:42 K:BB over 70 innings this season. Avila will likely be shifted to the 60-day injured list in the near future.

Manager Matt Quatraro announced that Kolek is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

The right-hander headed for a second opinion on his strained right forearm last week and is now set to go under the knife. The full scope of the procedure isn't clear, but if it's standard Tommy John surgery, Kolek will miss the rest of the season and will likely be sidelined for the entirety of the 2027 campaign. In 10 starts for the Royals this year, he posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB across 54 innings.
