Tong (2-2) took the loss Sunday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

The Phillies got to Tong quickly Sunday, scoring twice in the opening inning and twice in the third. Since returning to New York's rotation earlier this month, Tong's given up nine runs (eight earned) on 13 hits while striking out 18 over three starts (15.2 innings). The right-hander lines up for one more start this season, tentatively scheduled to come on the road next weekend against the Nationals.

Sanchez (18-6) earned the win Sunday over the Mets, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks across 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

It was a nice return to form for Sanchez, who had given up 11 runs across 12.1 innings in his previous two outings. The southpaw blanked the Mets for five innings Sunday before giving up a solo home run to Bo Bichette in the sixth. Overall, Sanchez sports a 2.93 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP and a career-high 221 strikeouts across 32 starts (200 innings) this year. Sanchez is currently in line for one more regular-season start, tentatively scheduled to come next weekend at home against the Rays.

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.

Sasaki (finger) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to pitch in Tuesday's contest against San Diego, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Sasaki has been shelved since developing a blister on his right middle finger Aug. 26 against Atlanta. Manager Dave Roberts noted that the right-hander will pitch in some capacity as a part of a bullpen game in the series opener versus the Padres, but Sasaki won't be the "bulk" pitcher.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Yankees.

The Yankees put up a four spot in the third inning, but Arenado's slam in the fifth canceled it out. The Diamondbacks were able to hang on from there. Over his last 13 games, Arenado has gone 18-for-46 (.391) with six homers and 13 RBI. He is now batting .247 with a .777 OPS, 27 homers, 78 RBI, 73 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases through 146 contests this season.

Burnes allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Sunday.

Burnes served up three home runs during the third inning, prompting an early exit as the Diamondbacks can't afford to cede ground since they lag behind in the playoff race. Over his three starts so far, Burnes has surrendered nine runs across 10.1 innings with an 8:4 K:BB. He's now been tagged for five runs, and it's clear he's still got some more rust to shake off following his return from June 2025 Tommy John surgery. Burnes is tentatively projected to make his last start of the regular season at San Diego.

Pages (hand) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Pages will make his return to the Dodgers after missing more than a month of action while recovering from surgery to address a left hand fracture. Once activated, Pages will likely take over as the Dodgers' everyday center fielder, pushing Tommy Edman back to second base and Alex Freeland into a bench role.
