Moore went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's loss to Cincinnati.

Moore popped a leadoff homer before adding an RBI single in the second inning. He capped off his day with a two-run shot in the fifth, but unfortunately for Seattle, his four-RBI day was the only offense in the 8-4 loss. Moore's big night boosted his slash line to .306/.375/.639 with four home runs and six RBI through 40 plate appearances.

Champan earned the save in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rays, striking out the only batter he faced.

Zack Kelly came in for the seventh inning of Tuesday's game, and after pitching two scoreless frames he was brought back out for the ninth. He proceeded to yield two runs to reduce the Red Sox's lead to three, which prompted Boston manager Alex Cora to bring in Chapman to record the final out. Chapman needed five pitches to record his fourth save of the season, tossing a 99 mph fastball past Curtis Mead for the punchout. Chapman has a 1.23 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB across 7.1 innings to start his Red Sox tenure.

Burke (1-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Athletics after giving up five runs on six hits and two walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out two.

Burke struggled with his command Tuesday, serving up two home runs while allowing at least one run in each of his three full innings pitched. He was pulled after 69 pitches (44 strikes) in the fourth inning when the Athletics' lineup was set for its third time through the order. Burke won't be a recommended fantasy option in his next scheduled start in Boston, where he'll take a 7.56 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over 16.2 innings (four starts) this year.

Springs (3-1) got the win Tuesday against the White Sox after giving up three runs on three hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out four.

After getting off to a rocky start by allowing a three-run home run to Andrew Vaughn in the opening inning, Springs settled down to hurl four scoreless innings afterward. Springs also notably escaped a bases-loaded jam by punching out Joshua Palacios to end the third inning. The left-hander will aim to improve on his 4.50 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB through 20 innings this year in a tougher matchup in Milwaukee, which is tentatively set for this weekend.

The Yankees optioned Winans to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Winans was selected from Triple-A on Saturday to replace the injured Marcus Stroman (knee), and the former will now head back to the minors to clear a roster spot for Clarke Schmidt (shoulder), who is set to be activated for his season debut Wednesday. Winans didn't appear in a game during his time in the Bronx, but he will keep his spot on the 40-man roster as he moves back to Triple-A.

Ober (1-1) got the win Tuesday against the Mets after giving up three runs on five hits and no walks in 6.1 innings. He struck out five.

Ober threw 57 of his 77 pitches for strikes, but he struggled with his command at times while allowing two solo home runs. One came off the red-hot bat of Pete Alonso in the first inning, and another was driven by Juan Soto in the fourth. It's worth noting four of Ober's outs came on line drives, which suggests he may have been fortunate to come away with a quality start. The big right-hander is still searching for a rhythm in 2025, holding a 6.16 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 19 innings, but he'll have a prime opportunity to get back on track at home against the White Sox in his next projected start.

Aranda went 2-for-3 with one walk and a solo homer in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Aranda got the Rays in the scoring column in the second inning, when he took the first pitch he saw from Walker Buehler deep to right-center field for a 398-foot solo homer. Aranda has the hot bat as of late, going 14-for-30 with four walks, eight runs scored, three home runs and 10 RBI over his last nine games.

Castillo (1-2) yielded six runs on seven hits and four walks over 4.1 innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Reds.

Castillo was uncharacteristically bad Tuesday, coughing up a pair of runs through four innings before the Reds piled on four more in the fifth. He threw 54 of 95 pitches for strikes and has failed to complete six innings in three of his first four starts. Tuesday's rough outing was the first time he gave up more than five earned runs in a game since Aug. 4, 2023. Castillo's 2025 ERA ballooned to 4.22 with an 18:10 K:BB through 21.1 innings. His next start is lined up to be in Toronto this weekend.

Buehler (2-1) earned the win against the Rays on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three across five innings.

Buehler gave up a solo homer to Jonathan Aranda in the second inning and yielded a second run in the fourth frame, though the damage was limited thanks to a diving catch by Ceddanne Rafaela to end the inning. Buehler has begun his Red Sox tenure with a 5.23 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 20.2 innings, and his 3.0 percent walk rate is tied with Pablo Lopez for seventh-best in the majors. Buehler is slated to face the White Sox at home next week, when he'll look to earn his third win of 2025.

Duran went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run homer in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rays.

Duran gave the Red Sox a three-run lead in the second inning, when he took a 96 mph fastball from Ryan Pepiot deep to left-center field for a 388-foot, two-run home run. Duran has recorded a hit in five of his last six games, and over that span he's logged four walks, two stolen bases, four runs scored, one home run and three RBI.
