    Matthew Boyd gave up three runs over five innings while being credited with a win over the Padres on Tuesday.

    Boyd’s start was the second since coming off the injured list, and it wasn’t as effective as the first one where he threw 4 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball against the Mets. The 35-year-old gave up eight hits, and while he didn’t walk anyone, he clearly didn’t fool the San Diego lineup with just two strikeouts in the contest. This is much more in line with how Boyd was pitching before his back and knee ailments, and a far cry from the hurler he was for the majority of 2025. He’ll look to get back on track against the Orioles on Tuesday, assuming there’s no changes to the rotation order.

    Joe Ryan (glute) will make a minor league rehab start for Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

    Twins manager Derek Shelton said the plan is for Ryan to throw roughly 50 pitches over three innings. The 30-year-old upper-echelon fantasy starter figures to rejoin Minnesota’s rotation next week, assuming he’s feeling ready from a physical standpoint. He hit the injured list with a glute strain back in early August. There should be a definitive update on his return timeline coming out of Tuesday’s tune-up outing.

    Yankees claimed RHP John Schreiber off waivers from the Royals.

    Schreiber had a successful run with the division-rival Red Sox earlier in his career. He was cut loose by Kansas City over the weekend after posting a respectable 3.72 ERA across 48 1/3 innings this season. He’ll help solidify New York’s questionable middle relief depth.

    Yankees RHP Justin Topa elected free agency.

    Topa passed through waivers unclaimed after being jettisoned from New York’s relief mix over the weekend. The 35-year-old journeyman made just a pair of appearances for the Yankees during a brief stint with the club. He should be able to latch on somewhere for the final month of the season.

    Cole Carrigg is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Orioles.

    It’s a bit unclear based on remarks by Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer whether Carrigg is sitting out his second consecutive contest for disciplinary reasons. The 24-year-old rookie was benched for Sunday’s series finale against the Braves after making an inappropriate gesture towards fans earlier in the weekend. It’s worth noting that he pinch-hit during Sunday’s game, so he’s presumably available off the bench during Monday’s contest as well.

    CJ Abrams was scratched from the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Marlins with back tightness.

    It sounds like a precautionary measure, but back issues can be complex and tricky matters that tend to linger. The 25-year-old was originally slated to start at shortstop in this one. It’ll be Nasim Nuñez taking over in his place. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

    Diamondbacks activated 2B Ketel Marte from the 10-day injured list.

    FanGraph’s Eric Longenhagen wrote that Marte didn’t appear to be having any issues with his troublesome left knee during a couple bridge league games in Arizona last week. That’s a positive sign. The 32-year-old second baseman is back at DH and hitting cleanup following a bizarre two-week saga that included his absence from Fenway Park, a knee injury subplot and a trip to an Arizona casino that generated plenty of social media buzz. At the end of the day, Marte appears healthy and ready to help Arizona with their playoff push, which means fantasy managers shouldn’t hesitate to put him back in their lineups.

    Samuel Basallo (hand) is back in the lineup at DH for Monday’s series opener against the Rockies.

    Basallo’s return comes at a fortuitous time for fantasy managers with Baltimore kicking off a three-game series at high-octane Coors Field. He’s back in the lineup after missing Sunday’s game with a hand contusion. The 22-year-old backstop’s presence at DH pushes Christian Encarnacion-Strand to the bench with Blaze Alexander getting the nod at third base. Things are only going to get more crowded with Luis Robert Jr. coming over from the Mets off waivers in the next few days.

    Orioles designated INF Luis Vázquez for assignment.

    Vázquez loses his spot on Baltimore’s 40-man roster with the club claiming outfielder Luis Robert Jr. from the Mets. The 26-year-old appeared in just one game for the Orioles after being called up last week.

    Riley Greene (hamstring) will be activated from the injured list for Tuesday’s game against the Twins.

    The Tigers are going to give Greene a day off to rest and recover after playing in a pair of minor league rehab contests for Triple-A Toledo over the weekend. He’s been on the shelf with a hamstring strain since early August. He’ll return to the heart of Detroit’s lineup once rosters expand this week.

    Tigers selected the contract of INF John Peck from Triple-A Toledo.

    Peck receives his first shot in the majors after hitting .288/.339/.502 with 11 homers and 22 steals in 298 plate appearances in the upper minors this season. Tigers skipper A.J. Hinch told reporters Peck will get some time at shortstop with Kevin McGonigle moving over to third base more often in the coming weeks. It appears that Gleyber Torres and Javier Báez could lose playing time down the home stretch with Detroit fading from playoff contention. Peck is unlikely to offer much fantasy appeal outside of extremely deep mixed leagues and AL-only formats.
