Tsung-Che Chung goes 2-for-3, knocks in two

He’ll take the place of the struggling Orion Kerkering in the Phillies’ bullpen. The 27-year-old hurler has made six appearances at the MLB level this season, posting an underwhelming 5.63 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 5/3 K/BB ratio over eight innings of work. He’ll function in a middle relief role for Phillies’ skipper Don Mattingly.

The 25-year-old hurler has been in a funk since the All-Star break, posting a horrific 9.90 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and a 21/14 K/BB ratio over 20 innings in 23 appearances. He’ll attempt to work through his issues on the minor league side for the time being and could potentially resurface for the postseason. Max Lazar was recalled in a corresponding move on Sunday.

The 34-year-old southpaw passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra bullpen depth at the minor league level. Zastryzny has missed the bulk of the 2026 campaign due to a left trapezius strain.

The right-hander allowed four hits in the contest while striking out a pair. He threw 32 pitches (25 strikes) in the ballgame. It’s possible the Astros could activate him to pitch a few innings in an MLB game during the upcoming week if they feel he’s ready, though he’s unlikely to deliver much from a fantasy perspective.

Grissom was hit by a pitch in the 11th before the game-ended with a Christian Moore bases-loaded infield single that bounced off Taylor Rogers’ leg. Grissom’s homer off A.J. Minter was his 12th. His .237/.305/.384 line isn’t anything special, but he has managed to drive in 66 runs in 442 plate appearances. He should be ahead of Moore on the depth chart at second base to open next season. It just remains to be seen if the Angels will seek an outside upgrade there.

The highlight for Detmers tonight was picking up his 200th strikeout. Otherwise, it was his worst outing in at least six weeks, and it ensured that he’d finish with a sub-.500 record in spite of all of his recent success. He’ll take a 6-8 record and a 3.47 ERA into his final start in Seattle.

Ryan departed with a 4-2 lead that wound up being blown. With any luck at all, it would have been a better night. He gave up seven hits but just three hard-hit balls, and the 376-foot homer he allowed to Jose Siri was only a home run in three of 30 ballparks. Ryan is due to face the Rangers in his final start.

Gómez retired only one of the five batters he faced before being replaced by Kody Funderburk, who saved Gómez’s ERA by inducing a double play. It left with the Twins with a one-run lead entering the ninth, but that was blown by A.J. Minter in what turned into an 11-inning loss. Gómez was back in action tonight following one day off after pitching three days in a row, and the Twins are simply asking for too much from him at the moment. He’s been a great surprise for the team this year, but he’s still an average reliever at best. One imagines that Jeff Hoffman, who pitched a scoreless seventh tonight, will get a chance to take over as the Twins’ closer next year. It should have happened after he was acquired last month.

Batting for Freddy Fermin, Salas got to face a drawn-in infield because a wild pitch advanced Cronenworth to third, and he was able to connect on a grounder up the middle that would have won the game even if the second baseman had gotten to it. The Padres have won four straight games and are five up on the D-backs with seven to play.

Mize’s Padres tenure has been a disaster for his upcoming free agency, with his 24/17 K/BB in 40 2/3 innings standing out as being even more hideous than his 6.64 ERA. He hasn’t actually hurt the Padres, who have gone 6-3 in his starts, but he’s not giving the team any reason to trust him in the postseason. He’ll likely face the D-backs on Friday, but on the off chance that there’s anything still on the line at that point, he’ll by on a very short leash.
