Bradley (12-6) allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings to earn the win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Bradley had a strong performance, throwing 104 pitches (67 strikes) to collect his third straight quality start. The right-hander has given up one run or less in four of his last seven starts. He's at a 3.73 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 205:76 K:BB through 178.1 innings over 31 starts. Since Minnesota is off Thursday, it's likely Bradley has completed his work this season.

Pena was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Pena ran the bases for himself after taking a 96.4-mph sinker off his right wrist in the eighth inning, but he was replaced at shortstop when the Astros' defense took the field in the bottom of the frame. He'll likely undergo X-rays to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and more information on his health may be available after the game.

Hudson will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher during Wednesday's game against the Royals, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Hudson has been one of the White Sox's most reliable bullpen arms this season, turning in a 3.03 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 65.1 innings, but he'll now be called upon to lock down the first inning of Wednesday's contest. Erick Fedde is expected to pitch in bulk relief once Hudson leaves the game.

Matthews was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners with an apparent leg injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Matthews came up limping after making a diving catch in center field during the second inning of Tuesday's game, and he was eventually pulled in the sixth. The fact that he was able to remain in the game for a while after making the play is an encouraging sign, though the Astros will likely provide more information on his health in the near future.

Kelly recorded the final out of the seventh inning in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, picking up a hold while allowing one hit and no walks.

Kelly moved into a tie with Toronto's Tyler Rogers for the MLB lead in holds (32). The right-hander has coughed up six earned runs in nine innings this month, but he does have a pristine 12:0 K:BB during that time. He'll be a key component of the Tampa Bay bullpen this postseason, sporting a 2.48 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 62:11 K:BB across 72.2 innings.

Javier was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners with right groin tightness, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Javier gave up one hit and two walks while striking out two batters in two scoreless innings before his groin forced him to make a premature exit. The 29-year-old righty is tentatively lined up to start Houston's regular-season finale against the A's on Sunday, but the team will presumably monitor his status over the next several days before making a decision regarding his availability.

Schultz (4-9) earned the win after pitching two perfect innings against the Royals on Tuesday. He struck out one.

Since being recalled to the big leagues Sept. 15, Schultz has recorded three consecutive scoreless outings for the White Sox. On the season, the southpaw owns a 5.58 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 64:31 K:BB over 71 innings. The 23-year-old could serve as a key piece out of the bullpen to eat up innings in the postseason.

Kay did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 14-11 win over the Royals, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over four innings. He struck out four.

Kay allowed four runs over four innings, including a solo homer to Nick Loftin. On the season, Kay is sporting a 9-9 record, 4.53 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 125:54 K:BB over 153 innings. The southpaw is expected to make his final start Sunday against the Rockies.

Murakami went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs scored, a walk and a strikeout Tuesday during a 14-11 win over the Royals.

Murakami extended his on-base streak to 10 games after reaching base twice Tuesday. The 26-year-old smashed his 33rd blast in the seventh off Tony Gonsolin to provide some insurance for the White Sox. Over 531 plate appearances, Murakami has batted .203/.348/.469 with 33 homers, 72 RBI and 91 walks this season.

Doyle went 2-for-5 with a solo homer, two runs and a strikeout during Tuesday's 14-11 win over the Royals.

Doyle blasted his first homer since Aug. 26 against the Rangers on Tuesday. The 28-year-old extended his hitting streak to seven games with two base knocks. Since joining the White Sox, Doyle has slashed .259/.259/.412 with three homers, eight RBI and five stolen bases in 86 plate appearances.
