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.

The Tigers optioned Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Hanifee pitched 1.1 innings during the Tigers' loss to Milwaukee on Tuesday, surrendering two unearned runs on three hits and a walk. He now owns a 2.25 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through eight innings, but he'll end up as the roster casualty needed to make room for Keider Montero, who will be promoted to start Wednesday's contest.

Bregman (personal) went 5-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rays.

Bregman powered the Red Sox's offense Tuesday, with four of his five hits driving in a run. He got Boston on the board with an RBI single in the first inning, then proceeded to belt his third and fourth home runs of the season in the third and seventh innings, respectively. It was Bregman's seventh two-homer game and the first time in his major-league career that he recorded five hits in a game, and he was a triple shy of a cycle. Bregman will fly back to Boston on Wednesday and be placed on the paternity list, which will allow him to miss up to three games. Romy Gonzalez will likely fill in at third base while Bregman is away from the team.

Bregman will fly back to Boston on Wednesday for the birth of his child, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

The Red Sox will place Bregman on the paternity list Wednesday, which will allow him to miss up to three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family. Romy Gonzalez could start at third base while Bregman is away.

Brown (2-1) got the win Tuesday against the Cardinals after giving up four hits and no walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out four.

The biggest threat to Brown's scoreless start came during the fourth inning, when the Cardinals got two runners into scoring position with two outs, but Nolan Gorman struck out on a foul tip to end the frame. Brown has been a reliable starter for the Astros and fantasy managers alike in the early going, recording four consecutive quality starts while producing a 1.50 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB through 24 innings. The right-hander next sets up to take on the Blue Jays at home early next week.

Correa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left wrist soreness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Correa was favoring his left hand/wrist after taking a swing in the fifth inning, and he had to leave the game without finishing his at-bat. If the 30-year-old infielder ends up needing to miss any amount of time, Brooks Lee would be next in line for more starts at shortstop.

Wallner was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left hamstring tightness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Wallner was able to leg out an infield single in the first inning of Tuesday's contest, but he tweaked his hamstring in the process. It's unclear if the 27-year-old outfielder will need to miss any time due to his injury, though he may miss a game or two to avoid playing through any lingering soreness.

Triple-A St. Paul placed Miranda on its 7-day injured list Tuesday due to a left hand strain, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend but will shift to the injured list before seeing game action with St. Paul. According to Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune, Miranda suffered the injury on St. Paul's off day Monday while he was shopping and grabbing for a case of water. Miranda had hit just .167 over 12 games with the Twins prior to his demotion.
