Valera entered Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Tigers in the sixth inning after David Fry (face) was injured by a foul ball. Valera went 0-for-1 and finished the game as the designated hitter.

Fry suffered the injury when he fouled off an attempted bunt and was struck in the face. He was eventually carted off the field, and Valera inherited a 2-2 count and was called out on strikes. The strikeout was charged to Fry. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt typically rotates bodies at DH -- Valera typically starts against right-handers when the manager isn't using that spot for a regular position player. The Guardians are scheduled to face right-hander Jack Flaherty on Wednesday.

Sands tossed a perfect ninth frame to earn a save Tuesday over the Rangers.

Sands needed just nine pitches to retire the side for his third save of the season and his first since May 16. Sands had blown his previous two save opportunities and Tuesday marked only his second scoreless outing in his last seven appearances. Saves are far and few between for the Twins, but it seems Sands is in the mix for more in the final week along with Kody Funderburk.

Vazquez went 1-for-1 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Rangers. He was also hit by a pitch.

Vazquez had a productive evening on offense, reaching base four times and even swiping his first bag of the year. Both Vazquez and Ryan Jeffers returned from the injured list on consecutive days to begin the week and the two will likely end up splitting duties once again to close out the season.

Matthews (5-6) got the win Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing one run on four hits while striking out six in seven innings. He did not issue a walk.

Matthews allowed a solo home run to Joc Pederson on just his second pitch of the game but shut down the Rangers from there. Tuesday's performance was an excellent bounce-back effort from Matthews after he was shelled his last time out, tying his career worst in runs allowed (nine) while setting a new career worst in hits allowed (11). The quality start was Matthews' third in his last five outings in what's been a strong finish to an up-and-down season for the 25-year-old. Matthews lines up for one additional road start this weekend against the Phillies.

Aranda (wrist) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Aranda has been sidelined since late July with a fractured left wrist but hasn't given up hope on a late-season return. The 27-year-old has been playing in backfield games at the Rays' spring training complex in Florida and will join the major-league club Wednesday to take batting practice and field grounders. If that goes well, he should be active for the final few games of the regular season.

Munoz picked up the save Tuesday against the Rockies, striking out two over a perfect inning.

Munoz carved through the Rockies in the ninth inning, notching two strikeouts to preserve a Mariners win and clinch a postseason berth. The hard-throwing righty has been dominant all season, logging a 1.47 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 61.1 innings. His 38 saves rank third in the majors, behind only Robert Suarez and Carlos Estevez.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Naylor came through in the clutch, ripping a bases-clearing double with two outs in the eighth inning to put the Mariners ahead and help secure a postseason berth. Since arriving from the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, he's maintained his production, posting an .819 OPS in Seattle after logging an .807 mark in Arizona. For the season, the first baseman owns a .292/.351/.461 slash line with 28 doubles, 20 homers, 91 RBI and 28 stolen bases across 144 games.

Miller did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 4-3 victory over the Rockies. He struck out four.

Miller fell one out shy of a quality start Tuesday, marking his fourth straight outing falling short of six innings, all resulting in no-decisions. After a breakout 2024 season in which he posted a 2.94 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 31 starts and 180.1 innings, the right-hander has struggled this year to a 5.53 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 17 starts and 86.1 innings around an extended stay on the injured list with elbow trouble. Given the depth of the Mariners' staff, it's fair to question what Miller's role will be in the postseason.

Witt went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-4 victory over the Angels.

Witt contributed to the hit parade with two hits base knocks, including a two-run double in the eighth inning that put the Royals' lead out of reach. The shortstop has finished the regular season strong, posting a 1.007 OPS with six extra-base hits and six RBI over his past eight games. While his 2025 numbers don't quite match his monster 2024 campaign (.977 OPS with 30 homers and 30 steals), he's still delivered an impressive .853 OPS with 44 doubles, six triples, 23 homers, 84 RBI and 37 stolen bases across 152 games.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

Garcia set the tone with a leadoff double in the first inning and later came around to score on a wild pitch, sparking what became his first three-hit performance since Aug. 10. While he's had a quieter September with a .620 OPS over 20 games, the third baseman's 2025 campaign as a whole has been a breakout. Through 155 contests, he owns an .809 OPS with 38 doubles, five triples, 16 homers, 72 RBI and 23 stolen bases, ranking second among Royals regulars in OPS behind only Bobby Witt.
