Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU
Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Out for rest of regular season
Alvarez said through an interpreter Sunday that he's progressing more quickly than expected in his recovery from a left ankle sprain, but he's not yet taking part in baseball activities and won't join the Astros for their season-ending six-game road trip during the upcoming week, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Alvarez will finish his seventh big-league season with a .273/.367/.430 slash line to go with six home runs, one stolen base, 27 RBI and 17 runs in just 48 games, as a small right hand fracture cost him significant time before he sprained his ankle in this past Monday's win over the Rangers. Houston isn't yet ruling Alvarez out from contributing during a potential postseason run, but a timeline for his return won't be mapped out until he starts swinging a bat and running the bases again. According to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Alvarez has resumed walking with a protective boot on his left foot, but he said that he needs to wait for the swelling in his ankle to subside before he's able to take part in baseball activities.

Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Fans five in no-decision
Cantillo did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to Minnesota. He allowed a run on four hits and two walks over 4.1 innings while striking out five.
Cantillo gave up his lone run in the third inning. He loaded the bases in the fifth but was not charged with any runs after Erik Sabrowski cleaned up the mess. Cantillo has given up fewer than two runs in six consecutive outings; during that span, he's produced an impressive 1.32 ERA across 34 frames. However, he's also walked 12 batters during that time and has issued 28 free passes in his last 12 starts. Cantillo owns a 3.21 ERA with a 100:42 K:BB through 89.2 innings this season.

The veteran right-hander had a 3.45 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 159 innings prior to landing on the 7-day injured list due to a concussion. In his two starts since being reinstated from the IL, Wacha has allowed 13 runs on 17 hits over 7.2 innings. He's slated to make his last start of the regular season next weekend on the road against the Athletics.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reaches three times in loss
Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.
Torres extended his hitting streak to four games, with the last three contests being multi-hit efforts. The Detroit infielder is now slashing .261/.366/.398 across 140 games this year, and he's been a key offensive performer in his first season with his new team. Torres should continue to slot in as the No. 2 hitter for the Tigers as they look to wrap up a playoff spot.

He yielded a double to Mike Yastrzemski, but Hoffman closed things out by getting Bobby Witt and Vinnie Pasquantino to both ground out, and the win clinched the Blue Jays a spot in the postseason. Hoffman has had his struggles this season but has not given up a run in each of his last four outings. He has a 3.71 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 26.2 innings while converting on 10 of 13 save opportunities since the All-Star break.
