Harrison Bader (foot) to miss remainder of 2026

Bratt gave up three hits, walked two and struck out two. He fell to 1-3 with the loss. Bratt had a 4.54 ERA entering play Saturday and didn’t fare well in the spot start against the Giants on the road. He allowed three runs and failed to complete five innings. As the 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader, he’ll head back to the minors following the game.

Marte gave up three hits, walked two and struck out three. He pitched well, but the Giants still removed him from the game after throwing 76 pitches with two outs and no one on base in the fifth inning. Marte isn’t scheduled for another start at the moment, though it’s clear the organization will be careful with how many pitches he throws the rest of the way after he already threw 107 2/3 innings in the minor leagues this year prior to his MLB debut.

Cowser’s home run was his 13th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Jack Perkins in the fifth inning. Cowser is 15-for-44 (.341) with five home runs and eight RBI in his last 17 games. He’s hitting .228 with a .709 OPS and 36 RBI this year.

Kittredge allowed two hits in the ninth inning and the tying run moved into scoring position after a double steal. The 36-year-old right-hander promptly got Tommy White to ground out to end the game. It was his fourth save in August. Kittredge remains in the closer mix with fellow Orioles reliever Yennier Cano.

Perkins gave up four hits, walked four and struck out five. He fell to 3-10 with the loss. Perkins’ own throwing error on a pickoff attempt led to an Orioles run that was unearthed in the third inning. In the fifth inning, he allowed a solo home run to Colton Cowser. Perkins has a 6.42 ERA as a swingman for the Athletics this year. He’s lined up to face the Mariners on the road next week.

Baz gave up five hits, walked three and struck out four. He improved to 5-14 with the win. Baz had lost his last five starts entering play Saturday, but rebounded with a solid performance as he was one out away from recording a quality start. Baz has a 4.01 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Red Sox at home next week.

The Yankees are still waiting on the results of the MRI exam that Lombard underwent after making an early exit from the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox, but it sounds like they’re optimistic that he was able to avoid any sort of significant injury. Expect the club to provide another update on his status prior to Sunday’s series finale.

García now has at least three hits in three of his last four games. He’s also hit five home runs in 21 games since coming over to the Yankees at the trade deadline. García is hitting .288 with an .877 OPS and 88 RBI this year.

Rice’s RBI single in the third inning tied the game 1-1. In the eighth inning, his two-run single extended the Yankees lead to 9-2. Rice is hitting .254 with an .877 OPS and 86 RBI on the season.

Sogard’s home run was his third of the season. He hit a solo shot off Max Fried in the third inning. Sogard has three home runs, six runs scored and five RBI over his last nine games. He’s hitting .264 with a .773 OPS and 12 RBI.
