Fedde is slated to pitch in bulk relief behind opener Bryan Hudson during Wednesday's game in Kansas City, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Hudson is likely to cover the first inning or two before handing the ball over to Fedde, who has been part of the rotation for most of the season but has frequently moved between starting and bulk-relief roles. Over 16 appearances out of the bullpen in 2026, Fedde has logged a 3.95 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 5.9 K-BB% across 66 innings.

Gonsolin allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 2.2 innings of relief Tuesday against the White Sox.

Working out of the bullpen, Gonsolin got through the fifth and sixth innings unscathed before imploding in a five-run seventh frame, surrendering a two-run homer to Munetaka Murakami. In his debut with the Royals and first big-league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure in August 2025, the right-hander logged 63 pitches (35 strikes). Gonsolin is likely to remain in the bullpen for the final five games of 2026, but he could compete for a role in the starting rotation in 2027 if Kansas City picks up his team option.

Gore didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Mets after giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings.

Gore fell an inning shy of a quality start, but this abbreviated outing was still a step in the right direction since he had given up at least three runs while pitching four or fewer innings in each of his previous three starts. Even with this solid showing, Gore has an elevated 5.91 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through five outings since the beginning of September.

Senga earned the save after striking out two over a hitless and scoreless ninth inning in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers. He also hit a batter.

Senga was handed a three-run advantage after Nate Lavender and Dedniel Nunez combined for two perfect innings ahead of him. The right-hander issued no walks and allowed no hits while needing 19 pitches (11 strikes) to finish the job, striking out two of the four batters he faced. The save was Senga's eighth of the season, though his ERA remains elevated at 7.34.

Basallo (head) is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

Basallo had to be lifted from Monday's game versus the Blue Jays after taking a foul tip off his catcher's mask. The Orioles are keeping a close eye on Basallo to see if he develops concussion symptoms, which leaves his status for the final week of the regular season in limbo. Carlos Narvaez will do the catching for Baltimore during Wednesday's matinee.

Manaea (6-7) earned the win Tuesday against the Rangers after allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings. He also hit two batters.

Manaea allowed an RBI double to Josh Jung in the third before Texas scored twice without a hit in the fourth, aided by two passed balls and consecutive sacrifice flies. The veteran southpaw kept the Rangers scoreless over his final two innings, and New York's three-run sixth turned a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 lead, allowing him to earn the win. Manaea matched his season high with nine strikeouts and lowered his ERA to 4.67. He's lined up to make his final start of the season Sunday on the road against the Nationals.

Cornelio allowed one hit and three walks while striking out four batters across 2.2 scoreless innings while serving as the Nationals' opener in the team's 3-1 win over the Tigers on Tuesday.

Tuesday marked Cornelio's third start of the season, and although he ran his pitch count up to 60 (33 strikes), he did enough to keep the Tigers off the board until turning the keys over to Jackson Kent in the third frame. Cornelio has a 3.89 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 38:28 K:BB across 34.2 major-league innings this season, with the 26-year-old right-hander also spending time in the minors with Triple-A Rochester.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI during the Nationals' 3-1 win over the Tigers on Tuesday.

Abrams supplied all of the offense for the Nationals on Tuesday, starting with a solo homer in the second inning before giving Washington the lead for good with a two-run shot in the seventh. He's gone deep three times in as many games, and Tuesday was his third multi-HR game of the season. Abrams has an .835 OPS with 33 steals, 33 home runs and 102 RBI across 638 plate appearances in 2026.

Thielbar (3-4) took the loss after allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits over one inning in Tuesday's 8-2 extra-innings loss to the Marlins.

Thielbar worked a scoreless 11th inning before returning for the 12th, but that's when things went south for the left-hander. Thielbar allowed the first batter he faced to drive home the inherited runner at second, and by the time the frame ended, the Marlins had built a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Thielbar's ERA rose to 4.99, and this mark his first outing allowing more than one earned run since Aug. 16.

May did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Philies, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out two batters across two innings.

May was pulled from his start early for a second consecutive outing, after giving up a two-run homer to Brandon Marsh in the second inning. May has failed to complete five innings in six of his last seven starts, posting a 7.84 ERA and 1.74 WHIP across 20.2 innings in that span, which is not the kind of form the Brewers were hoping for out of the right-hander so close to the playoffs. He's currently lined up to take on the Cardinals at home this weekend.
