Meidroth went 1-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Tigers.

Meidroth stole a base and came around to score in the second inning before launching a two-run homer in the fifth. The 25-year-old has gone hitless in four of his past 10 games, but he has managed five extra-base hits, seven RBI and nine runs scored in that span. For the year, he's slashing .268/.343/.401 with 15 home runs, 58 RBI, 87 runs scored and four steals across 629 plate appearances.

Melton exited Sunday's 8-1 loss to the White Sox in the fourth inning with right arm discomfort, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Melton left the game after recording two outs in the bottom of the fourth frame, and his removal from the contest is now understood to have been due to arm discomfort. Manager A.J. Hinch outlined that Melton was dealing with some "achiness" in his right arm, and the pitcher will undergo further examination in the near future.

Martin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Tigers, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six over 4.1 scoreless innings.

Martin threw 43 of 70 pitches for strikes with 11 whiffs while keeping the Tigers off the board but departed before he could qualify for a potential win. The 29-year-old has been excellent while working on a limited workload in September, yielding just two earned runs through four outings this month while averaging just over 72 pitches per appearance in that span. He'll carry a 3.84 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 121:45 K:BB across a career-high 145.1 innings into his last matchup of the regular season at home against the Rockies next weekend.

Wacha did not factor into the decision Sunday against Pirates, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Wacha did a good job limiting damage Sunday, as he held Pittsburgh to just two runs despite issuing four walks, matching a season high. The veteran right-hander has been solid down the stretch, posting a 2.70 ERA over 37.2 innings in his last five outings. His ERA now sits at 3.33 on the season with a 1.11 WHIP and 154:53 K:BB. Wacha will likely make one more start this season, currently lined up to come at home against Cleveland.

Jones went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Jones sat out due to foot soreness Saturday, but he was back in the lineup Sunday. He had gone 1-for-19 with nine strikeouts over his previous four games. The outfielder is batting .248 with a .759 OPS, 11 homers, 39 RBI, 33 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and nine stolen bases over 81 contests this season. With Trent Grisham (hamstring) sidelined for the rest of the regular season, Jones has a clear path to starting in center field until the postseason.

Lombard went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Lombard has three multi-hit efforts over his last six games, and he's added two homers in that span. His blast Sunday put the Yankees ahead as part of a four-run third inning. Lombard is batting .235 with a .676 OPS, five homers, 17 RBI, 20 runs scored, three doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over his first 37 games in the majors.

Ramos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Ramos has four homers over his last 12 games dating back to Aug. 30. The outfielder is filling a part-time role, but he has been able to provide some power when in the lineup. For the year, he's hitting .241 with a .714 OPS, 13 homers, 44 RBI, 45 runs scored, 19 doubles, three triples and four stolen bases over 106 contests between the Yankees and the Giants.

Warren allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Warren was mostly cruising until getting into trouble in the fifth inning. He left a bases-loaded mess for Brent Headrick, who then served up a grand slam to Nolan Arenado. Warren hadn't been charged with more than three runs in any of his previous six outings, posting a 1.80 ERA over 30 innings in that span. For the season, he has a 4.02 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 151:54 K:BB through 152.1 innings over 31 games (29 starts). He's projected for one more regular-season start at home versus the Orioles.

Melton (undisclosed) exited his start Sunday against the White Sox in the fourth inning, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Melton left the game after he had allowed the White Sox to take a 3-0 lead on a two-out RBI double by Sam Antonacci, and he was replaced on the mound by Tyler Holton. Another run was charged to his ledger following his departure, so he ended his day having tossed 3.2 innings, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters. It's unclear what injury Melton suffered, but more information on his status will likely come following the conclusion of Sunday's contest.

Perkins (3-12) took the loss against the Guardians on Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

Perkins allowed just one run in the fourth inning but was outdueled by Gavin Williams. The 26-year-old Perkins threw 54 of 80 pitches for strikes with nine whiffs, and he's now delivered quality starts in back-to-back outings for the first time this season. He owns a 5.90 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 131:48 K:BB across 116 innings as both a reliever and starter this season and will make his final start of the campaign at home against the Astros next weekend.
