    Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Collects three hits Tuesday

    Perez went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Mets.

    Perez has started the series against New York by going 4-for-9 with a double, a home run and five RBI across two games. The 25-year-old outfielder is emerging as an effective offensive performer in his second MLB season with a .266/.323/.479 slash line across 79 contests overall, and he should continue to see regular playing time for the Tigers.

  • Luis Severino SP | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Severino: Sharp in return Tuesday

    Severino took a no-decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing three hits and one walk in five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

    Severino was likely working with a workload restriction in his first start since Aug. 5, although that didn't prevent him from delivering his first scoreless outing since May 17. The three hits allowed also matched a season best, and the veteran right-hander has now tossed at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer in four of his last five appearances. Severino has a 4.65 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 107:45 K:BB over 141.1 innings, and he'll be looking to increase his pitch count next week against the Red Sox.

    Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Holds Athletics in check in win

    Mikolas (7-10) earned the win Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with no strikeouts in six innings.

    Despite the season-low zero strikeouts, it was still one of Mikolas' finer performances of the year. It was his eighth quality start in 2025, and it also marked his ninth time surrendering one earned run or zero this season. Mikolas will be trying to build on Tuesday's performance when he takes a 4.89 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 86:33 K:BB over 136.1 innings into his next outing, which is slated for next week against the Mariners at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park.

  • Kyle Tucker RF | LAD

    Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Nursing calf injury

    Tucker was removed from Tuesday's game against Atlanta with left calf tightness, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Tucker went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer before his calf forced him to make an early exit in the seventh. Manager Craig Counsell said after the game that Tucker won't play in Wednesday's contest, per Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network, leaving Kevin Alcantara and Willi Castro as the likely candidates to pick up a start in right field. Tucker, meanwhile, will aim to return for the start of Chicago's weekend series against Washington.

  • Chris Paddack RP | TEX

    Tigers' Chris Paddack: Going on bereavement leave

    The Tigers will place Paddack on the bereavement list Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Paddack will be away from the team for at least three days following a death in his family. Earlier Tuesday, the Tigers announced that Paddack had been demoted to the bullpen, and the right-hander was put to work right away. He retired just four of the 13 batters he faced in the Tigers' 12-5 loss to the Mets, allowing six earned runs on eight hits.

  • Red Sox's Brennan Bernardino: Slated to open Wednesday's game

    Bernardino will serve as the Red Sox's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Bernardino is currently enjoying the best season of his MLB career, having submitted a 3.14 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 48.2 innings. Though the lefty will be picking up his third start of the season, he's unlikely to work more than an inning or two before exiting the contest. Dustin May is on track to pitch in bulk relief behind Bernardino.

  • Kyle Freeland SP | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Ejected early Tuesday

    Freeland was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Giants after benches cleared during the first inning, Suzie Hunter of GuerillaSports.net reports.

    Freeland's day came to an abrupt end after throwing just eight pitches and giving up a two-run homer to Rafael Devers without recording an out. The two players got into a heated exchange while Devers rounded the bases, which prompted a bench-clearing brawl that also led to ejections for Matt Chapman and Willy Adames. Freeland will carry a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP into his next start, and it remains to be seen whether he will receive further discipline from Major League Baseball.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Pulled with back spasms

    Young was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to back spasms.

    Young had gone 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored before his back forced him to make an early exit in the sixth inning. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but an extended absence for Young would likely force Robert Hassell into the lineup more often against left-handed pitchers.

  • Roman Anthony LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Exits early Tuesday

    Anthony was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with left oblique tightness, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Anthony appeared to tweak something while striking out during his at-bat in the fourth inning, and he was replaced on defense when the Red Sox took the field in the fifth. More details on the severity of the 21-year-old's injury will have to wait until the team gets a closer look at him, but he can be considered day-to-day for now.

  • Alek Jacob RP | SD

    Padres' Alek Jacob: Returns to San Diego

    The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    Jacob was sent down to Triple-A at the end of August after throwing 4.2 shutout innings in three appearances, and he'll now rejoin the big-league bullpen following Jason Adam's (quad) move to the injured list. Although his most recent showing in the majors was successful, Jacob's 5.40 ERA through 30 innings will likely limit him to low-leverage work.
