Jacob Misiorowski SP | MIL
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Punches out nine in no-decision
Misiorowski struck out nine but did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 6.1 innings against the Cubs.
The flamethrowing righty surrendered a run on two singles and a double during the opening frame but locked in from there, generating 16 whiffs and tossing 64 of 93 total pitches for strikes in his 17th quality start of the campaign. It was a strong rebound from Misiorowski after he surrendered five runs to the Cubs during his previous start last week, while his nine strikeouts ended a run of four consecutive starts with six or fewer Ks.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Clubs game-tying homer
Chourio went 4-for-5 with a double, a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 4-3, extra-inning victory over the Cubs.
The 22-year-old outfielder came to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and launched a game-tying, two-run home run off Jacob Webb to erase a 3-1 deficit and force a 10th frame. It's the third four-hit performance in Chourio's past 13 contests, and he's batting .356 (21-for-59) with three doubles, five long balls, three steals, 13 RBI and 17 runs during that stretch. On the season he has an .827 OPS with 22 homers, 16 stolen bases, 63 RBI and 81 runs through 111 games.

Zac Gallen SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Returning from IL, starting Wednesday
Gallen (elbow) will return from the 60-day injured list and start Wednesday's game against the Royals, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.
Wednesday will mark Gallen's first appearance of the second half, as the 31-year-old has been on the shelf since July 12 due to right elbow inflammation. He pitched 1.2 scoreless innings in a rehab game at Triple-A Reno on Aug. 30 before building up to four innings and 60 pitches during a sim game Friday. Rather than waiting for Gallen to get fully stretched back out, the Diamondbacks will instead have him make what will likely be an abbreviated start Wednesday before turning the ball over to right-hander Michael Soroka (shoulder), who will also be activated from the IL to pitch in the series finale in Kansas City.

Mike Soroka SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Returning from IL on Wednesday
The Diamondbacks will reinstate Soroka (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list and have pitch Wednesday against the Royals in Kansas City, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.
Soroka will return to Arizona's pitching staff after a near-minimum-length stay on the IL due to right shoulder inflammation. The 29-year-old built up to four innings and 59 pitches during a simulated game Friday, so because he's not completely stretched out, the Diamondbacks will have Soroka work in a piggyback arrangement with Zac Gallen (elbow), who will start Wednesday but will be in line for an abbreviated outing as he also returns from the IL. Soroka could resume working as a traditional starter for Arizona following Wednesday's outing.

David Peterson SP | CHC
Cubs' David Peterson: Allows one run in no-decision
Peterson allowed one run on six hits across 4.1 innings and did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Brewers. He walked three and struck out four.
Peterson did well in limiting a talented Milwaukee lineup to just one run, but he certainly dealt with plenty of baserunners, which explains why he was pulled after 4.1 innings and 83 pitches. It was still a bounceback effort for the lefty, who was tagged for six runs in just 3.2 innings his last time out against these same Brewers. Peterson will now carry a 5.28 ERA into his next scheduled start Monday against Atlanta, which projects as a very tough matchup for the starter and one that might best be avoided for fantasy purposes.

Lake Bachar SP | PIT
Pirates' Lake Bachar: Starting bullpen game Wednesday
Bachar will start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.
Pittsburgh is going to rely on its bullpen to get through Wednesday's contest, and Bachar will begin the game on the mound for what will be his ninth start of the season. The 31-year-old righty has tossed at least two innings in eight of his 11 appearances since the beginning of August, so he'll likely be called upon to provide more length than the typical opening pitcher.

Hunter Goodman C | COL
Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Smacks late homer Tuesday
Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.
The Rockies' bats were held in check by Yankees ace Cam Schlittler, but Goodman reduced the deficit to two runs by taking Tim Hill deep for a two-run homer in the ninth inning. It was Goodman's first home run since Aug. 26 and 37th of the season, tied with Matt Olson for fifth in the majors. Goodman has an .848 OPS with five steals, 78 RBI and 56 extra-base hits over 513 plate appearances this season.

David Bednar RP | NYY
Yankees' David Bednar: Earns one-out save Tuesday
Bednar earned the save in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies, striking out the only batter he faced in the ninth inning.
Tim Hill was initially brought out for the ninth inning to protect a 5-1 lead, but he has removed from the game after giving up a two-run home run to Hunter Goodman. That prompted the Yankees to turn to Bednar, who successfully closed things out by striking out Mickey Moniak on three pitches. It was Bednar's first save since Aug. 28 and 32nd of the season, which is seventh most in the majors. He has a 2.63 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 70:18 K:BB over 61.2 innings in 2026.

Leo De Vries SS | ATH
Athletics' Leo De Vries: Slated for surgery
De Vries will undergo surgery to repair an anterior labrum tear in his right shoulder, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
De Vries is expected to require eight months to recover following his procedure, which will officially put an early end to his season and rule him out for the early portion of the 2027 campaign as well. The 19-year-old infield prospect will close the book on 2026 after slashing .287/.376/.453 with 13 homers, 55 RBI, 64 runs scored and 34 steals across 431 plate appearances at Double-A Midland.

Gabriel Hughes SP | COL
Rockies' Gabriel Hughes: Still winless in 2026
Hughes (0-7) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits while striking out six across five innings. He did not issue a walk.
It was a bit of a tough-luck loss for Hughes, especially with the Yankees scoring an unearned run in the first inning due to fielding and throwing errors by Jake McCarthy. Hughes kept the Yankees off the board over the next three innings before yielding a run in the fifth, and although the Rockies scored two late runs in the ninth, it wasn't enough for the 25-year-old right-hander to avoid the loss. He's allowed one earned run in each of his last two starts and has a 5.81 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 57.1 innings since making his major-league debut July 3. Hughes will look to secure his first big-league win in his next start, tentatively slated for this weekend on the road against the Tigers.
