Trammell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-7 win over Toronto.

Trammell extended Houston's lead to 4-0 in the fourth inning with his 421-foot blast off Shane Bieber, his first homer this season. Trammell had gone just 2-for-14 in his previous 10 games entering Tuesday and had been relegated to a bench role since Joey Loperfido was recalled from Triple-A in early June. Tuesday's start was Trammell's first in over a week. Overall, the outfielder is slashing .275/.333/.400 with eight RBI and 10 runs scored over 88 plate appearances this season.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Blue Jays.

Diaz extended Houston's lead to 2-0 in the fourth inning with his 391-foot blast off Shane Bieber, Diaz's third homer of the year and first in five games since returning from an oblique strain that had sidelined the catcher since early May. Overall, Diaz is slashing .246/.272/.373 with 16 RBI and nine runs scored through his first 125 plate appearances this season.

Murphy will serve as Chicago's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Right-hander Erick Fedde is on turn in the rotation and is expected to cover the bulk of the innings for the White Sox out of the bullpen once Murphy exits the contest, likely after covering the first frame or two. The White Sox are banking on the left-handed Murphy neutralizing the top half of the Cleveland lineup, which typically features two left-handed hitters in Travis Bazzana and Kyle Manzardo.

Keller (5-5) took the loss Tuesday as the Pirates were downed 3-2 by the Mariners, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over six-plus innings. He struck out four.

The veteran right-hander did come away with his eighth quality start of the season, but home runs by Cal Raleigh in the fourth inning and Cole Young in the seventh cost Keller his first win since May 24. It marks the first time in 2026 that he's been taken deep multiple times, but over his last five starts, Keller's served up five homers in 24 innings while going 0-3 with an 8.25 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB. He'll try to get back on track in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Reds.

Young (elbow) walked and hit a batter but struck out three in a scoreless inning in his first rehab appearance with Double-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Young began a rehab assignment Saturday at the rookie-level Florida Complex League with a scoreless frame and followed that up with another scoreless outing as he moved up to Columbus. The left-hander is coming back from Tommy John surgery and is tracking toward a season debut around the All-Star break.

Young went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.

The seventh-inning homer, Young's seventh of the year, proved to be the decisive blow in Seattle's one-run victory. After a hot start to the month, Young had cooled off at the plate coming into Tuesday's matchup -- he'd gone just 3-for-20 in his previous six games. Overall, the second baseman is slashing .253/.319/.372 with 34 runs scored, 37 RBI and two stolen bases across 321 plate appearances this season.

Fedde is slated to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Chris Murphy in Wednesday's game against the Guardians, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Fedde remains part of the rotation, but the White Sox have taken a liking to deploying him behind an opener in recent weeks. He'll work out of the bullpen for the sixth time in his last seven appearances, likely entering the contest in the second or third inning once Murphy departs.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.

Raleigh got Seattle on the board with his fourth-inning blast off Mitch Keller, his eighth homer this year and first since April 27. Prior to Tuesday, Raleigh had gone just 3-for-18 with no extra-base hits in six games since returning from a month-long stint on the IL. It's been a disappointing season overall for Raleigh after his breakout 2025 campaign -- he's now slashing .164/.258/.317 with 21 RBI and 18 runs scored over 209 plate appearances.

Greene (elbow) struck out three and scattered two hits and one walk over four scoreless frames in a rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Greene threw 64 pitches in his second rehab outing and first with Louisville. He averaged 98.4 mph with his four-seamer Tuesday, down a bit from his average of 99.5 mph last season. His results have been excellent through his first two rehab starts, with Greene firing eight scoreless innings with a 9:2 K:BB. Per MLB.com, Greene is expected to build up to 70-to-85 pitches in one final rehab start with Louisville on Sunday before returning from the 60-day injured list in the first week of July. He's working his way back from mid-March surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow.

Munoz struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 14th save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Pirates.

The right-hander was at his dominant best, firing 12 of 16 pitches for strikes and popping triple digits on the radar gun with half his offerings, topping out at 102 mph. Munoz has been erratic this season, but he may be finding his form -- he's converted saves in four straight scoreless appearances while delivering a 7:2 K:BB in four innings.
