Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Clubs three-run homer in loss
Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.
Raleigh clobbered a three-run homer off Reid Detmers in the fourth inning to get the Mariners on the board. The catcher is slashing .255/.352/.468 with two homers, nine RBI and 11 runs in 12 September contests. It's been an incredibly disappointing 2026 campaign for Raleigh, as he's hitting .181/.294/.371 with 22 homers, 63 RBI, 46 runs and two stolen bases across 116 games.

Ben Joyce RP | LAA
Angels' Ben Joyce: Pockets fifth save
Joyce picked up the save Monday against the Mariners. He allowed no hits and two walks with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning.
Joyce was wild, throwing just nine of 20 pitches for strikes, but he was able to retire the side with no damage done to secure his fifth save of the season. Walks notwithstanding, this was a nice rebound for the hard-throwing right-hander, as he took a blown save Saturday and allowed a run in both of his previous two outings. Joyce has emerged as the top ninth-inning option for the Angels, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB in 13.1 frames.

Kade Anderson SP | SEA
Mariners' Kade Anderson: Stumbles in second loss
Anderson (1-2) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks over 4.1 innings against the Angels. He struck out five.
After looking good in his first big-league win Wednesday, Anderson wasn't able to replicate that performance in Anaheim, being charged with five runs and exiting at 72 pitches (50 strikes). The southpaw's dominance in the minors has yet to translate to the big-league level, as he owns a 5.33 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB through 25.1 innings (five starts). Anderson is lined up to make his next start in Colorado over the weekend.

Reid Detmers SP | LAA
Angels' Reid Detmers: Collects sixth win
Detmers (6-8) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings against the Mariners. He struck out eight.
Detmers was tagged for a three-run homer in the fourth inning courtesy of Cal Raleigh, but he still churned out a quality start and picked up his second straight win. The southpaw has been brilliant in the second half, posting a 1.65 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 76:11 K:BB across 65.1 innings (11 starts) since the All-Star break. On the year, Detmers owns a 3.36 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 199:46 K:BB in 174 innings (30 starts), and he is tentatively scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Twins.

Christian Franklin LF | BAL
Orioles' Christian Franklin: Sent on rehab assignment
Franklin (hand) went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk.
Out since the beginning of September with left hand inflammation, Franklin has been sent on a minor-league rehab assignment and is tracking toward rejoining the Baltimore roster before the end of the season. He had gone just 5-for-34 (.147) with a pair of doubles and steals in 16 games for the Orioles before going on the injured list.

Grant Wolfram RP | BAL
Orioles' Grant Wolfram: Picks up 13th hold
Wolfram allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless eighth inning for a hold Monday against the Mets. He struck out one.
Wolfram continues to operate as a left-handed specialist out of the Baltimore bullpen. He gave up multiple runs in three consecutive outings to begin the month of August, but Wolfram has since yielded just two runs in his last 12 appearances. He has a 4.66 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 56:14 K:BB with 13 holds over 48.1 innings (56 outings).

Tyler Davis RP | CHW
White Sox's Tyler Davis: Reinstated, optioned Monday
Davis was reinstated from the bereavement list and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Davis has been away from the team since being placed on the bereavement list Wednesday. He'll report to Triple-A after being reinstated. The right-hander didn't surrender a run in 4.1 frames out of the bullpen during his latest stint in the big leagues.

Gavin Williams SP | CLE
Guardians' Gavin Williams: Seven Ks in tough-luck loss
Williams (13-8) took the loss Monday against the White Sox, striking out seven while allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in five innings.
Williams didn't work particularly efficiently Monday, needing a season-high 113 pitches to complete five innings. It's possible the right-hander had a longer leash after receiving a few days of extra rest in between starts, and he's now tossed at least five innings while conceding fewer than three runs in three straight outings to open the month of September. He's lined up for a soft home matchup against the Athletics over the weekend, holding a 3.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 235:56 K:BB over 174 innings.
-
Sean Burke SP | CHW
White Sox's Sean Burke: Flourishes as bulk reliever in win
Burke (9-7) earned the win Monday against Cleveland, striking out four while allowing an unearned run on four hits and two walks in five innings of relief.
Working behind opener Sean Newcomb on Monday, Burke kept the Guardians scoreless until permitting an unearned run in the sixth inning. It was a resounding bounce-back effort after the right-hander was shelled for seven runs his last time out versus Pittsburgh. He'll bring a respectable 3.47 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 173:58 K:BB over 161 innings into his next scheduled outing against the Tigers.

Braydon Fisher RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Braydon Fisher: Serving as opener Tuesday
Fisher will operate as the Blue Jays' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Tuesday will mark the 10th time this season that Fisher has been asked to work out of the opener role, with his last opportunity against the Athletics last Wednesday, when he fired a scoreless frame and struck out one. He'll presumably work the first inning before turning the game over to the bullpen.
