Gilbert (12-11) allowed four runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings, taking the loss versus the Astros on Tuesday.

Gilbert had another unimpressive home performance Tuesday. He's allowed 14 runs over 15.2 innings across three home starts in September, and he's also lost four of his last five outings overall. The right-hander is at a 3.81 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 197:48 K:BB through 182 innings over 31 starts this season. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Angels over the weekend, but with the Mariners on the verge of elimination, it's not yet clear if he'll be asked to make that start.

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

Jenkins has four homers on the season, including three during his active six-game hitting streak. The outfielder struggled for much of the first half of September, but he looks to have figured some things out at the plate. He's batting .214 with a .709 OPS across 79 plate appearances.

Hoffman allowed a run on two walks and struck out one in a hitless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Giants.

The Giants scraped together a run off Hoffman, but he was able to preserve the lead for his first save as a Twin. Yoendrys Gomez hasn't pitched since Saturday, but his recent struggles likely paved the way for Hoffman to get this save chance. On the year, Hoffman has a 3.55 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 102:30 K:BB through 66 innings while adding six saves, 22 holds and four blown saves between Minnesota and Toronto.

Bradley (12-6) allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings to earn the win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Bradley had a strong performance, throwing 104 pitches (67 strikes) to collect his third straight quality start. The right-hander has given up one run or less in four of his last seven starts. He's at a 3.73 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 205:76 K:BB through 178.1 innings over 31 starts. Since Minnesota is off Thursday, it's likely Bradley has completed his work this season.

Molina (3-2) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings to take the loss versus the Twins on Tuesday.

With this performance, Molina picked up his first quality start in the majors. The right-hander threw 57 of 85 pitches for strikes and matched his season high for strikeouts. He's now at a 3.97 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB across 34 innings through nine appearances (five starts). The Giants' rotation is being held together by tape at this point in the season, so it's possible Molina gets one more turn at home versus the Dodgers over the weekend.

Manager Tony Vitello said that Basabe was removed from Tuesday's game against the Twins due to hamstring tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Basabe's hamstring has reportedly been bothering him for a few days now, and the Giants decided to err on the side of caution and pull him out of Tuesday's contest early. He doesn't seem to be bound for the injured list, though the Giants may give him a day or two off to ensure his hamstring doesn't become a larger issue.

The Giants announced Tuesday that Tidwell has been recommended to undergo Tommy John surgery, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Tidwell was placed on the injured list Tuesday due to a high-grade UCL sprain, and if he undergoes surgery to address the issue, he would be forced to miss all of 2027 while joining Hayden Birdsong, Trevor McDonald and Carson Whisenhunt on the list of Giants pitchers working their way back from a Tommy John procedure. Tidwell hasn't officially decided to go under the knife just yet, but chances are that he won't be available to pitch next season.

Pena was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Pena ran the bases for himself after taking a 96.4-mph sinker off his right wrist in the eighth inning, but he was replaced at shortstop when the Astros' defense took the field in the bottom of the frame. He'll likely undergo X-rays to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and more information on his health may be available after the game.

Hudson will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher during Wednesday's game against the Royals, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Hudson has been one of the White Sox's most reliable bullpen arms this season, turning in a 3.03 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 65.1 innings, but he'll now be called upon to lock down the first inning of Wednesday's contest. Erick Fedde is expected to pitch in bulk relief once Hudson leaves the game.

Palencia tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief with a strikeout in Tuesday's 8-2, extra-innings loss to the Marlins.

Palencia hasn't retaken his job as Chicago's primary closer, but he has started to pitch better lately after a slow start in his return from the injured list earlier this month. Across his last seven appearances, the hard-throwing righty hasn't allowed an earned run while striking out six batters across 7.2 innings. Palencia hasn't been able to match his 2025 breakout campaign, when he posted a 2.91 ERA with 22 saves and 61 strikeouts across 52.2 regular-season innings, though his improved performance does give him a little momentum heading into a possible Chicago playoff run.
