Noah Cameron SP | KC
Royals' Noah Cameron: Fires six strong innings
Cameron took a no-decision Sunday against Boston, allowing one run on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four.
Cameron appeared to be unfazed by Sunday's contest being pushed back almost two hours due to inclement weather, holding the Red Sox in check for six frames. The southpaw has turned his campaign around in a big way since the All-Star break, producing a 2.42 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 58:20 K:BB over his last 70.2 innings. He'll look to further build on a season 3.84 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 149:52 K:BB across 166.1 innings in his next appearance in Pittsburgh.

Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Dominates Royals on Sunday
Tolle took a no-decision Sunday against the Royals, allowing four hits and one walk in six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
Tolle showed no ill effects of Sunday's first pitch being delayed nearly two hours due to rain, scattering four singles across six shutout frames. The left-hander has pitched at least 5.1 innings while yielding two runs or fewer in six of his last eight starts, and he notably fired an immaculate inning to open Sunday's outing. He's set to bring a 3.02 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 166:38 K:BB over 143 innings into his next appearance against the Rays in pitcher-friendly Tampa Bay.

Gage Jump SP | ATH
Athletics' Gage Jump: Likely to go on IL
Jump (shoulder) is likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.
Jump was dealing with left shoulder tightness during his last start Saturday against the Mariners. Whether he goes on the IL will be determined Tuesday, but if that is indeed the route that is chosen, then Jump's 2026 season will likely be over. Across 20 starts, Jump has a 6-11 record with a 5.47 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 108:46 K:BB over 98.2 innings.

Ortiz went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.
Ortiz opened the scoring with a two-run blast off Chase Burns in the second inning.

Cal Quantrill RP | TEX
Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Tweaks back during Sunday's start
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told reporters that Quantrill was working through back tightness during his start in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Quantrill was able to work through the injury and picked up the win to improve his record to 9-5, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four across six innings. The back injury can be considered a day-to-day issue, and perhaps Quantrill won't miss any time. His next turn in the rotation is slated for next weekend at home against the Blue Jays.

Kwan went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two total RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Twins.

Kwan also extended his hit streak to seven games -- he's gone 12-for-30 (.400) with five extra-base hits in that span. Overall, he's slashing .278/.375/.346 through 587 plate appearances this season with 75 runs scored, 30 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Robert Gasser SP | MIL
Brewers' Robert Gasser: Goes five frames in no-decision
Gasser didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Reds, allowing a run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
Gasser was sharp Sunday, as he held the Reds scoreless through five innings before he was ultimately charged for one run after Elly De La Cruz led off the sixth with a single. While Gasser has failed to make it through six innings in any of his last five starts, he's held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last four outings, posting a 2.33 ERA across 19.1 innings in that span. Overall, Gasser sports a 4.30 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP and 92:31 K:BB through 96.1 innings this season. He's tentatively in line to face the Orioles on the road his next time out.

David Bednar RP | NYY
Yankees' David Bednar: Holds on for save No. 34
Bednar allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning for the save Sunday against the Mets. He struck out one.
The Mets made the closer work a bit, getting the possible tying run to the plate, but Bednar hung on for the save. The right-hander has successfully converted seven consecutive save opportunities, fanning at least one in five straight outings. Through 64.1 frames, he has a 2.66 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 72:18 K:BB with 34 saves (37 chances).

Austin Wells C | NYY
Yankees' Austin Wells: Breaks out with solo shot
Wells went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Mets.
Wells' first hit since Sept. 2 was a big one, his first homer since a two-homer outburst Aug. 30 against the Red Sox. Despite a rough season at the dish, the left-handed-hitting backstop remains the Yankees' primary catcher. He's slashing a paltry .179/.279/.307 with 11 homers, seven doubles, 29 RBI and 56 runs scored over 360 plate appearances.

Matt Olson 1B | ATL
Braves' Matt Olson: Belts late homer Sunday
Olson went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a two-run home run during Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies.
Olson tied the game at 2-2 with an RBI single in the seventh, and after the Phillies scored seven runs in the eighth, he made the score look a little more respectable with a two-run blast in the ninth. Olson is up to 39 home runs on the season, and one more long ball would mark the second time in his major-league career that he's hit at least 40 homers in a campaign. He has an .831 OPS with four steals and 85 RBI across 650 plate appearances this season.
