Dallas (1-1) was tagged with the loss in relief Tuesday against the Astros, allowing six runs on seven hits and four walks across three innings. He struck out three.

Dallas was thrust into action after Trey Yesavage exited the game in the third inning due to a left knee injury, and he didn't have his best stuff. This was Dallas' first appearance at the MLB level since he was called up from Triple-A Buffalo on July 29, but the results weren't encouraging. The 26-year-old right-hander hasn't had much success in the majors this season, posting an 8.22 ERA across three appearances and 7.2 innings compared to his 3.16 ERA across 16 outings (12 starts) in Buffalo.

Wesneski (2-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Blue Jays after tossing six innings of two-run ball, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out four. He also tossed a wild pitch.

Wesneski delivered a strong outing to strengthen his case for a spot in the rotation over the final two months of the regular season. With Spencer Arrighetti (foot) shipped to Toronto and Tatsuya Imai moving to the bullpen, all signs point to Wesneski remaining as a starter. Wesneski has made just two starts this season since returning from Tommy John surgery and the numbers are decent, as he's allowed five runs on 11 hits and four walks while striking out eight, tossing two wild pitches and hitting a batter. He has won both starts and owns a 3.86 ERA ahead of his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for next week on the road against the Giants.

Rolison (6-1) earned the win in relief Tuesday against the Dodgers after pitching a perfect inning, striking out one.

Rolison got the final out in the sixth inning and recorded two more outs in the seventh before being lifted. He didn't need too many pitches to do so, as he tossed 10 of his 14 pitches for strikes. The 29-year-old southpaw has been pitching well of late, allowing just one earned run across eight appearances and 9.2 innings since the All-Star break. He has a 10:3 K:BB in that span.

Lowe entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-2 in a 6-2 loss to the Mets.

Lowe, who was acquired from the Reds on Monday, opened his first game with Cleveland on the bench against a left-handed starter. He pinch hit for Rhys Hoskins once a right-handed reliever entered the game and finished out the contest at first base. With the Guardians demoting Kyle Manzardo to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Lowe is expected to serve as the primary first baseman against right-handed starters.

Assad didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Dodgers, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings.

Assad fared well opposite Tarik Skubal, and he ended just one out shy of recording what would've been his first quality start since mid-June. It remains to be seen if Assad will stay in the rotation following the deadline acquisitions of Kevin Gausman and Clay Holmes, but as of now, he's lined up for Tuesday on the road against the Nationals. Assad owns a 3.58 ERA across 19 appearances (10 starts) and 75.1 innings with the Cubs in 2026. This is the third time in four seasons he has made at least 10 starts.

Adell started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Mets.

Adell made his debut for the Guardians after being acquired prior to Monday's trade deadline. Unfortunately for Cleveland, neither of his two hits came with runners in scoring position -- the team was 2-for-13 in such situations Tuesday. On a team starving for power, Adell should be a lineup regular during the Guardians' push for the postseason.

Skubal (7-6) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out six.

Skubal got into a groove early and struck out three of the first six batters he faced, but he gave up a solo shot to Dansby Swanson in the third inning and an RBI single to Nico Hoerner in the sixth before departing the contest. This was Skubal's fourth consecutive quality start, and despite the loss against one of the hottest teams in the National League, his performance was strong, as he tossed 51 of his 85 pitches for strikes in his first start for his new team. Skubal is expected to take the mound next week in a home series against the Royals.

Rodriguez started in right field and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Athletics.

Rodriguez was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday and made his MLB debut. He nearly had his first major-league hit, but his shallow flare to left field was snared by A's shortstop Jacob Wilson. Rodriguez should get regular opportunities at both corner outfield spots as well as DH, which is open for a left-handed bat after the Reds traded Nathaniel Lowe to the Guardians on Monday.

Nootbaar served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with two walks in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to San Diego.

Nootbaar made his debut for Arizona after the team acquired the left-handed-hitting outfielder from St. Louis prior to Monday's trade deadline. Even with injuries in the outfield, the Diamondbacks have a crowded picture there. Nootbaar is mainly a corner outfielder and will vie for time in left field with another lefty hitter, Max Kepler, when not working as the DH.

Lawlar (hamstring) started in center field and went 0-for-3 in a rehab game Tuesday with Double-A Amarillo.

Lawlar played six innings Tuesday in his first game action since landing on the injured list June 20 due to a hamstring strain. He's slated to play another game for Amarillo on Wednesday before the organization determines his next steps.
