Keith went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple and three RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Keith was retired in his first two at-bats Saturday, but then he tripled and homered in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively. Seven of his 11 home runs this season have come in the month of July, as he's found a home at the top of the Tigers' lineup. Keith is hitting .347 in July and has raised his slash line to .259/.317/.411 this season.

Woo experienced discomfort in his right hamstring during Saturday's start against the White Sox but isn't expected to miss his next start, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. Woo allowed one unearned run on four hits and a walk with three strikeouts across four innings.

Woo was removed after 70 pitches and reported pain in his right hamstring, the same hamstring he strained in mid-June that required an IL stint. Saturday's start was Woo's third since being activated from the injured list and he's still expected to make his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come Friday against the Phillies. Still, considering the touchy nature of the injury, fantasy managers should keep an eye on Woo's status leading up to his next start.

Baez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Baez has now gone deep in three straight games for the first time since 2022 and the third time overall in his career. After only going deep once in his first 63 games this season, Baez has seemed to have found his power stroke, at least temporarily. The 31-year-old still has a ways to go to be trusted for fantasy purposes with a .491 OPS for the season, but he's shown in the past that he can get hot fast.

Skubal (12-3) earned the win against the Twins on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings.

Skubal allowed a two-run homer to Royce Lewis in the first inning and proceeded to shut down the Twins over the next six frames. Skubal has won both his starts after the All-Star break, going at least seven innings in back-to-back starts for the first time this season. His 12 wins this season are tied for the most in the American League and the most by a Tigers pitcher before August since 2014 when Max Scherzer and Rick Porcello did it.

Cantillo is expected to be called up from Triple-A Columbus to start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Cantillo has joined the Guardians in Philadelphia, but his move to the active roster has yet to be confirmed. The 24-year-old owns a 2.79 ERA in 29 innings for Columbus but will face a stout Phillies lineup in his MLB debut. The left-hander has a 12.1 K/9 at Triple-A this season.

Lorenzen (5-6) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks with one strikeout over two-thirds of an inning.

Lorenzen retired the first two batters he faced but things unraveled quickly, as he allowed seven consecutive baserunners and four runs before being pulled at 40 pitches. The 32-year-old's velocity was down on each of his offerings, and he has now yielded four earned runs or more in three of his past five starts. On the season, he owns a 3.87 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 74:48 K:BB over 97.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Red Sox next week.

Faedo will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Twins, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Faedo will make his second start of the season Sunday, though he'll likely be limited to one or two innings before exiting the contest. It's unclear if the Tigers will have a bullpen game or utilize a bulk reliever, but Kenta Maeda would be the likeliest candidate to cover multiple innings should Detroit opt to go the latter route.

The Angels recalled Marte from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

The Angels' 26-man roster had an opening following a trade Saturday that sent Carlos Estevez to the Phillies in exchange for a pair of minor-league pitchers. Marte will fill that opening for his second MLB stint of the season. The 28-year-old right-hander pitched 12.2 innings during his first stint and logged a 3.55 ERA and 1.11 WHIP.

Beeter (shoulder) was transferred from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on July 22.

Beeter last pitched for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 15, and he was subsequently transferred to the 7-day IL due to a shoulder injury. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said July 9 that the 25-year-old was in danger of missing the remainder of the season, so it's not surprising to see him transferred to the 60-day IL. Beeter had been pitching well prior to getting hurt, posting a 2.53 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB over 32 innings for the Triple-A club. He also got into one game for the Yankees, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning versus Houston on March 29.

Gausman (9-8) earned the win against the Rangers on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with eight strikeouts over nine innings.

Gausman yielded three runs over the first three innings but rebounded with six scoreless frames to record his second complete game of the season. He threw 81 of 118 pitches for strikes and retired 18 consecutive batters at one point before walking Nathaniel Lowe in the ninth. The 33-year-old registered three wins and three quality starts in four July outings and now owns a 4.44 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 117:33 K:BB across 119.2 innings this year. He'll try to carry this momentum into a road matchup with the Yankees next week.
