White will sit out the Athletics' next couple of games after exiting Tuesday's contest with back soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

White doesn't seem to be facing a trip to the injured list just yet, but the A's will give him a few days off to rest before re-evaluating him to see how much progress he's made in his recovery. Jeff McNeil is likely to move back to first base as a result, opening up second-base reps for Michael Stefanic or Alika Williams.

Woo (10-9) earned the win against the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out seven across six innings.

Mickey Gasper hit a solo homer in the first inning, but Woo settled in to keep the Red Sox off the board for the rest of his outing. It was the third time in eight starts that Woo struck out at least seven batters, and he did enough to come away with his 14th quality start of the season, which is tied for sixth-most in the American League. He'll take a 4.25 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 148.1 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend at home against the Athletics.

Prielipp (4-7) earned the win Tuesday against the Tigers, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out five over five scoreless innings of relief.

Prielipp entered after opener Andrew Morris allowed a run in the first inning. Prielipp kept Detroit off the board for the next five frames, throwing 47 of 73 pitches for strikes. It marked the first scoreless outing of Prielipp's young career and his 11th consecutive appearance of at least five innings, though the left-hander has posted an unimpressive 5.37 ERA during that stretch. His next turn through the rotation is expected to come Monday in a rematch with the Tigers.

Martin (finger) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Astros in Houston, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Martin landed on the IL on Aug. 14 due to a blister on his right middle finger, and after throwing five shutout innings during a rehab outing at Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, he's received the green light to return to Chicago's rotation. The 29-year-old righty had struggled over his last five starts before hitting the shelf, going 0-1 with a 9.95 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 19 innings.

Gasper went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Mariners.

Gasper got the Red Sox on the board early with a solo homer in the first inning. He's gone deep in back-to-back games and has seven homers over his last 13 games since being recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Aug. 16. Gasper should continue to see plenty of playing time over the next couple of weeks given his strong play at the plate coupled with Willson Contreras (hamstring) being on the 10-day injured list.

Paez (0-1) took the loss against the Mariners on Tuesday, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out three across 3.2 innings.

The 22-year-old right-hander was called up from Triple-A Worcester to make his major-league debut Tuesday. He got off to a rough start by allowing a solo homer to Dominic Canzone in the first inning before allowing five runs in the second frame, three of which came on a Randy Arozarena home run. Paez went on to allow a run in each of the next two frames before being pulled in the fourth after tossing 87 pitches (55 strikes) and generating eight whiffs. It's not the way the right-hander was hoping his major-league debut would go, and he'll likely head back to the minors if the Red Sox revert to a five-man rotation.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Atlanta's 9-5 loss to Washington on Tuesday.

Harris has gone deep in back-to-back games and is up to 24 homers on the year. He's been on a tear at the plate since mid-August, going 21-for-58 (.362) with three steals, four home runs and 12 RBI over his last 15 games. His .506 slugging percentage is tied with CJ Abrams for eighth-best in the National League among qualified batters.

Baldwin went 1-for-4 with an RBI double during Tuesday's 9-5 loss to Washington.

Baldwin cut Atlanta's deficit to 4-2 with an RBI double in the third inning. That double extended Baldwin's hitting streak to nine games, during which he has gone 15-for-38 (.395) with two home runs, six RBI and four doubles. His .813 OPS across 513 plate appearances is fourth-best among qualified catchers behind Hunter Goodman, Gabriel Moreno and Liam Hicks.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo homer during Tuesday's 9-5 loss to Washington.

Albies opened Tuesday's scoring with a solo homer off Jake Irvin in the second inning. It was Albies' first homer since Aug. 11 and 21st of the year, which is fourth-most on Atlanta behind Matt Olson (37), Michael Harris (24) and Drake Baldwin (22). Albies has a .725 OPS with three steals, 44 extra-base hits and 68 RBI over 592 plate appearances this season.

Melton (7-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Twins, allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings.

Melton surrendered a first-inning homer to Kody Clemens before settling in to retire 10 consecutive batters, but things unraveled over the fifth and sixth innings. He was charged with six runs during that span, two of which scored via error, and exited after allowing a three-run homer to Royce Lewis in the sixth. The five earned runs were a season high for Melton, who entered Tuesday having allowed more than three runs just once in 16 starts. He's now taken the loss in three straight outings and owns a 2.20 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 84:29 K:BB across 102.1 innings. Melton is slated for a rematch with Minnesota on Monday.
