    Jackson Jobe was hit hard in a losing effort against the White Sox on Friday night, allowing six runs on nine hits across 3 2/3 innings of work.

    The 24-year-old hurler struck out four batters in the ballgame while issuing just one walk. He had only allowed one run through the first three innings, but the wheels fell off for him in the fourth inning. There, the White Sox struck for five runs as Tristan Peters slugged a two-run homer, Munetaka Murakami added a solo shot and Braden Montgomery smacked a two-run triple. Jobe got seven whiffs on 74 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll try to put this rough outing behind him as he brings a 6.23 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and an 8/2 K/BB ratio into Wednesday’s battle against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

    Jobe struck out nine, but he managed to allow runs in three separate innings despite giving up just four hits and one walk on the afternoon. He gave up a run in the first on a walk, a steal and then a soft flyball single that left fielder Brett Callahan got a bad jump on. The run in the fifth was a product of a HBP, a single, a walk and a sac fly, and he surrendered a solo homer to Miguel Vargas in the sixth. Jobe is 2-3 with a 3.98 ERA. He’ll face the Pirates next weekend.

    The 24-year-old righty scattered just three hits and one walk in the impressive outing. The only blemish on his day came on a solo blast off the bat of Adael Amador in the top half of the first inning. After that, he was in complete command. Jobe generated 16 swings and misses on 87 pitches on the day, posting a strong CSW of 34 percent. He’ll look to replicate this effort when he brings a 3.89 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a 34/13 K/BB ratio (34 2/3 innings) into Friday’s matchup against the White Sox in Chicago.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    Jobe gave up four hits, walked two and struck out seven. He bounced back after allowing five runs in his last start, a loss to the Twins. Jobe was sharper and his seven strikeouts were the most he’s had in a start since returning from injury and tied his career-high that was set last year. He has a 4.45 ERA. Jobe is lined up to face the Rockies at home next weekend.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    Jobe gave up six hits, walked two and struck out four. He fell to 1-2 in five starts with the loss. Jobe was victimized by two home runs, allowing a solo shot to Kody Clemens in the fourth inning and a three-run shot to Ryan Jeffers in the fifth inning. Jobe has only allowed four home runs in 23 1/3 innings, but more concerning is his 4.63 ERA and 19 strikeouts. He’s lined up to face the Guardians on the road on Saturday.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    Jobe gave up four hits, walked three and struck out four. The 24-year-old right-hander has had four starts since coming off the injured list and allowed one run or less in three of them. Jobe hasn’t completed more than five innings in any of his starts and was removed after 4 1/3 innings Tuesday. He has a 3.93 ERA. Jobe is lined up to face the Twins on the road next week.

    He outdueled Paul Skenes today, but the two-run lead he left with failed to hold up. Jobe finished up with three strikeouts and three walks, giving him an 11/5 K/BB in 14 innings since he came off the IL. His first start back was more exciting and encouraging that the last two, and he seems like a fringe mixed-league option in a lone start at home against the Rays next week.

    Jobe gave up one hit, walked one and struck out four. You couldn’t have asked for a better outing in his first start since May of last year after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Jobe had never touched 100 mph before in the major leagues, but reached that mark on his first inning strikeout of Bryce Eldridge. In the second inning, he struck out Rafael Devers on three pitches, the last of which being a wipeout changeup. Jobe threw 71 pitches and will continue to be on a pitch count for at least his next few starts. That might hinder his ability to work deep into games right now, but Jobe certainly showed enough to be worth grabbing in mixed leagues. He’s lined up to face the White Sox next weekend.

    While he won’t make his highly anticipated 2026 debut until Saturday, Jobe rejoins the Tigers’ active roster on Friday evening. If the Tigers are going to make a serious push for a playoff berth in the American League, Jobe is going to have to play a major role in making up for the departures of Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize. Brenan Hanifee was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.

    Jobe will draw into Detroit’s new-look rotation following the departures of Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize at the trade deadline when they kick off a three-game series in San Francisco later this week. The hard-throwing 24-year-old was one of the top pitching prospects in baseball in the not-so-distant past and will be making his return to the majors after missing most of the last two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. He’s struck out 17 batters over 15 1/3 innings during five minor league rehab outings. There are probably going to be some workload restrictions down the home stretch, but Jobe is the type of talent that fantasy managers should at the very least be monitoring closely.

    The 23-year-old right-hander struck out four batters on the day while issuing a pair of walks. He’ll meet up with the Tigers and throw his next bullpen session at Comerica Park before heading to Triple-A Toledo to make his next rehab start. It’s unclear if he’s going to work out of the rotation or the bullpen initially once he is ready to return, though how hard the Tigers push him will likely be determined by whether or not they fall out of the playoff race in the American League.

    Drew Gilbert went 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI in leading the Giants to a 5-2 win over the Twins on Monday.

    Gilbert seemed overmatched in his major league debut last season, but he’s more than held his own in hitting .237/.327/.396 with 11 homers in 384 plate appearances this year. It’s hard to see much upside beyond this unless he gains some bat speed, but he should remain in the Giants’ outfield plans for next year.

    Trent Harris notched his second major league save with a perfect ninth Monday against the Twins.

    The 27-year-old Harris has a 2.14 ERA and a 27/7 K/BB in 21 innings since getting his first major league callup on Aug. 7. He’ll be off Tuesday after working the last two days, so Dylan Smith might get a save chance then.

    Although he struck out nine, Zebby Matthews lost to the Giants after allowing five runs in five innings on Monday.

    The Giants had a nice little .538 BABIP against Matthews tonight, which doesn’t count Drew Gilbert’s homer in the fifth. Matthews has been pretty much all or nothing these last two months; he’s allowed one or no runs four times and four or more runs in the remainder of his nine starts. This leaves him 9-11 with a 4.90 ERA with likely one start remaining Sunday against Texas.

    Ryan Jeffers went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Giants on Monday.

    Jeffers has suddenly hit the skids, going 2-for-28 with no extra-base hits and 10 strikeouts in his last eight games. It’s dropped his OPS from .872 to .822, and it’s probably going to end up costing him a little money as a free agent this winter.

    Blade Tidwell left Monday’s game with elbow discomfort, manager Tony Vitello said.

    Tidwell allowed one run in 3 1/3 innings and struck out four before exiting. He’ll likely join 23 other Giants on the injured list prior to Tuesday’s game.

    Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI on Monday, powering the Orioles to a 4-3 comeback win over the Blue Jays.

    Alonso took Blue Jays starter Trey Yesavage deep in the opening frame before capping his multi-homer performance with a go-ahead two-run blast off reliever Tyler Rogers with two outs in the eighth, pushing him over the 40-homer threshold for the fourth time in his career. The 31-year-old run-producing force, who has homered six times in his last nine games, will finish his Orioles debut as a top-five fantasy option at first base and has delivered borderline first-round value overall, hitting .265/.359/.510 with 94 runs scored, 40 homers, 108 RBI and five steals in 157 games.

    George Springer went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday’s loss to the Orioles.

    There weren’t many bright spots for the Blue Jays as they squandered an early three-run lead to fall three games behind the White Sox for the final AL Wild Card playoff spot. Springer helped Toronto build their early advantage by delivering an RBI single into the left-center field gap against Orioles starter Shane Baz in the first inning.

    Gunnar Henderson went 3-for-4 with his 24th home run of the season in Monday’s win over the Blue Jays.

    Henderson’s three-hit effort included a solo homer off Toronto rookie reliever Chad Dallas as he finished a double shy of hitting for the cycle. It’s been a down year relative to expectations for Henderson, especially in the stolen base department where he has just 10 thefts after reaching the 30-steal mark last year.

    Rico Garcia struck out two in a perfect ninth inning against the Blue Jays to record his 10th save of the season on Monday.

    Garcia got the call to protect a one-run lead in the final frame after Pete Alonso’s go-ahead homer and needed just 17 pitches to slam the door. He’ll continue splitting the closing duties with Andrew Kittredge, and possibly Félix Bautista now that he’s back in the mix, over the final week of the season.

    Shane Baz allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Blue Jays on Monday.

    It was undoubtedly a positive sign to see Baz work deep into this one after taking a 105-mph line drive off his right arm during his previous start against the Mets last week. He struck out two and also issued three walks. It definitely didn’t seem like he was going to turn in a quality start when he surrendered three runs on three hits and a pair of walks in an ugly opening frame. However, he managed to settle in afterwards and silence the Blue Jays into the seventh inning. He’ll take the ball for the Orioles’ regular-season finale against the Yankees in New York on Sunday.
