Cole Carrigg CF | COL
Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Muscles up in win
Carrigg went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Padres.
Carrigg had a two-run blast in the third inning and boosted the Rockies' lead with a three-run homer in the sixth. The rookie is up to 10 homers on the season, including four over 13 contests in September. He's batting .270 with an .812 OPS, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored, 21 doubles, four triples and nine stolen bases through 82 games this season.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Works in bulk relief
Feltner (6-10) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out five over five scoreless innings of relief to earn the win over the Padres on Tuesday.
Feltner stayed on normal rest for this appearance out of the bullpen, having last pitched Thursday versus the Yankees. He had lost his last five outings as a starter, posting a 6.93 ERA over 24.2 innings in that span. The right-hander is at a 5.63 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 88:50 K:BB through 116.2 innings over 24 games (22 starts) this season. While the Rockies' pitching plans are in flux going forward, Feltner's success in bulk relief could put him in a position to piggyback Kyle Freeland again as the latter ends the year on a limited workload due to a recent stint on the injured list.

Kyle Freeland SP | COL
Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Works four innings in return
Freeland allowed three runs on eight hits and struck out one without walking a batter over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.
Freeland returned from a stint on the injured list due to cervical radiculopathy and threw 50 pitches (36 strikes). All three runs he gave up came on solo home runs. Ryan Feltner covered the last five innings, and with Freeland not at a full workload, a piggyback arrangement could be in store for his next turn through the rotation. Freeland has a 6.38 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 104:28 K:BB through 128.1 innings over 24 starts this season.

Bradley Hanner RP | NYY
Yankees' Bradley Hanner: Optioned to Triple-A
The Yankees optioned Hanner to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Tuesday's game against the Twins.
Hanner gave up four earned runs in just 1.1 innings during his lone outing after coming up from the minors Friday, and he'll now move back to Triple-A in preparation for Clarke Schmidt's (elbow) return from the injured list Wednesday. Hanner boasts a 2.44 ERA across 55.1 innings at Triple-A this season but has allowed seven earned runs in 5.1 frames with the Yankees.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Pulled with thumb injury
Arenado was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to right thumb inflammation.
Arenado went 1-for-3 before his thumb forced him out of the game in the seventh inning. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but if the 35-year-old has to miss time beyond Tuesday, Ildemaro Vargas would likely be the next man up to start at the hot corner.

Braydon Fisher RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Braydon Fisher: Yields two walks as Tuesday's opener
Fisher allowed two walks while striking out one batter across 1.1 innings during the Blue Jays' 10-1 loss to the Tigers on Tuesday.
Fisher served as the Blue Jays' opener in Tuesday's bullpen game, and he was able to work his way out of back-to-back walks to start the first inning to keep the Tigers off the board. The 26-year-old right-hander has been a steady presence in Toronto's bullpen this season, sporting a 3.16 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, one save, 13 holds and a 73:40 K:BB over 74 innings.

Drew Anderson RP | DET
Tigers' Drew Anderson: Tosses five scoreless frames in Toronto
Anderson (5-6) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out four across five scoreless innings.
Tuesday was the first time this season that Anderson kept his opponent off the board while completing five innings. He was able to get out of a bases-loaded situation unscathed in the third frame, finishing his outing with seven whiffs and six groundouts on 88 pitches (58 strikes). It was Anderson's first win since July 23 and first victory since joining the rotation in early August. His start in Toronto might be his last of the regular season, but that largely depends on whether the Tigers activate Jack Flaherty (forearm) from the 15-day injured list during the final days of the regular season.

Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW
White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Drives in three runs Tuesday
Vargas went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and a two-run single during the White Sox's 7-6 loss to the Guardians on Tuesday.
Vargas has collected five RBI over his last two games, and Tuesday's contest was the 10th time this season that he's driven in at least three runs. The 27-year-old third baseman is in the midst of a career year, ranking second in the American League in runs (98), sixth in home runs (31), eighth in OPS (.833) and 11th in RBI (84) across 658 plate appearances.

Chris Murphy RP | CHW
White Sox's Chris Murphy: Gives up two homers as opener
Murphy allowed three runs on two hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning during the White Sox's 7-6 loss to the Guardians on Tuesday.
Murphy served as the White Sox's opener Tuesday for the third time this season, but he couldn't make it out of the first inning after giving up home runs to both Jo Adell and Travis Bazzana. It was the first time Murphy gave up multiple homers in an outing this season and his first instance since July 25, 2025, against the Dodgers, when he gave up three long balls. He now sits at a 4.68 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 32.2 innings this year, and it's unclear whether he'll be used as an opener over the final games of the regular season.

Cade Smith RP | CLE
Guardians' Cade Smith: Collects sixth win of 2026
Smith (6-1) was credited with the win against the White Sox on Tuesday, striking out one batter across 1.2 innings.
Smith got the call with one out in the eighth inning with the Guardians down 6-5. He needed only 16 pitches (12 strikes) to get through five batters, and he ended up collecting the win thanks to Brayan Rocchio's walk-off, two-run double in the bottom of the ninth. Smith has come away with the win in three of his last five outings and sits at a 2.13 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 36 saves and a 96:22 K:BB over 67.2 innings this season.
