Robert Suarez dealing with forearm tightness

Musgrove, trying to return from Tommy John, has been impressive when he’s been able to pitch, but he’s really struggled to bounce back afterwards. “We’re just trying to look at some different options -- shorter appearances, different theories,” Musgrove said. “I’m running out of answers.” Musgrove will likely take on a lesser workload in his next appearance, with the hope that he might bounce back more quickly. A return this season as a traditional starter appears to be off the table at this point.

Judge was also seen running the bases today. He’s unlikely to be activated from his rib fracture this weekend, but a return next week back in New York is possible.

Weathers, out since Aug. 23 with a flexor strain, might come off the IL as a reliever before season’s end.

This is definitely a change from yesterday. Ohtani is out of the lineup for a second straight game tonight because of his knee and biceps issues. According to The Athletic, his left hip has become a problem, too. All things considered, 10 days off doesn’t seem like a bad idea.

Espino is officially up in the majors for a second time, which doesn’t include his one-day doubleheader stint in July. He’s allowed three runs and struck out 12 over six innings for the Guardians. He’d allowed four runs in 18 innings for Columbus since his previous demotion.

Allen returns to the minors after giving up five runs in 2 1/3 innings in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader. He has a 5.94 ERA in 16 2/3 innings for Cleveland this year.

Miller emerged as one of baseball’s best prospects last year, but his back has been a problem throughout 2026, resulting in a procedure in June. As long as things go well over the next couple of weeks, he’ll be assigned to the Arizona Fall League in order to get more at-bats,

The Tigers could have DH’d either Greene or Dingler, but it’s Hao-Yu Lee in that spot after he played second base in the first game today. Greene just came off the IL on Tuesday, so two games in a day probably isn’t appropriate right now. Dingler is struggling mightily at the plate, so he’s DH’d just once in the last few weeks.

That obviously ends his season. No structural damage was found, so Brash will avoid surgery and hopefully have a pretty normal offseason. The 28-year-old allowed one earned run in 16 2/3 innings this season before being shut down in June. Although he’s pitched a total of 64 innings the last three years, the Mariners figure to pay the $2 million or so it will take to keep him in 2027.

Yesavage, returning from knee surgery, will throw again Monday and then likely face hitters next Thursday. If the Jays remain in contention, he’ll probably get a chance to come off the IL for the final week of the season.
