Tigers add Troy Watson to 40-man roster on Sunday

Molina had retired his first ten batters before the Brooks Lee got on with a hit in the fourth. He stranded one more baserunner in the fifth, then gave up two runs on three hits in the sixth. Molina’s day would be done after the sixth at 85 pitches. He struck out six. The 24-year-old right-hander has been solid over nine games(five starts), posting a 3.97 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and a 31/7 K/BB ratio across 34 innings. He’s in line to take the mound for Sunday’s season finale against the Dodgers in San Francisco.

Junk gave up two hits, walked one and struck out six. The Cubs didn’t score until after Junk left the ballgame and the Marlins offense didn’t breakout until a six-run 12th inning. Junk has a 4.31 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Braves at home on Sunday.

Pasquantino’s home run was his 15th of the season. He hit a grand slam off Luis Castillo in the ninth inning. Pasquantino has had a down season, but suddenly has six home runs and 18 RBI in 18 games in September. He’s hitting .259 with a .751 OPS and 59 RBI with five games left in the regular season.

Murakami’s home run was his 33rd of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Royals reliever Tony Gonsolin in the seventh inning. Murakami has two home runs and seven RBI over his last five games. He’s hitting .203 with an .817 OPS and 72 RBI with five games left in the regular season.

Meidroth’s home run was his 16th of the season. He hit a three-run shot off Daniel Lynch in the third inning. Meidroth has two home runs and seven RBI over his last two games. He’s hitting .271 with a .756 OPS and 63 RBI with five games left in the regular season.

Lynch gave up seven hits, walked three and struck out two. He fell to 6-6 with the loss. Lynch held the Astros scoreless over five innings in his last start, but was a disaster against the White Sox Tuesday. He allowed three home runs in a nine-run blowout. Lynch will take a 4.13 ERA into his next start against the Guardians at home on Sunday.

Kay gave up seven hits, walked one and struck out four. He began the fifth inning with a 9-3 lead, but was removed after allowing the first two batters he faced to reach base. Kay is lined up to face the Rockies at home on Sunday. He’s won nine of 30 starts and the White Sox will likely continue to have Kay on a short leash.

Griffin tripled with two outs and nobody on in the fifth inning, but was stranded at third base. He hasn’t hit a home run in 16 September games, but has four doubles and two triples. He’s hitting .271 with a .721 OPS this year. Griffin also stole his 23rd base of the season Tuesday.

Pallante gave up three hits, walked two and struck out two. He fell to 12-8 with the loss. Pallante bounced back after allowing eight runs in his last start, but he took the loss again with the Cardinals offense unable to score. He has a 3.61 ERA this year. Pallante is lined up to face the Brewers on the road on Sunday, the final day of the regular season.

Jones gave up one hit, walked none and struck out nine. He improved to 5-6 with the win. It was a dominant performance from Jones, who is 3-0 with a 1.08 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 25 innings over his last four starts. He has a 3.87 ERA this year. Assuming all goes well in his next start against a lite-hitting Tigers lineup on Sunday, Jones will finish the season on a high note and have positive momentum heading into 2027.
