    Mariners placed RHP Emerson Hancock on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 29, with a left adductor strain.

    Hancock suffered the injury during Friday’s start against the Blue Jays. He’s going to miss at least a couple of weeks. It’s unclear if the Mariners will continue to operate with a six-man rotation in his absence, or if they’ll revert to a traditional five-man alignment.

Rafael Devers was placed on the 60-day injured list with a core muscle injury, ending the Giants slugger's season early in the middle of an offensive tear.

    Hancock has been out with an adductor strain since late August. It’s going to be tough for him to make it back before the regular season concludes with just over two weeks left.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #26
    Hancock remained in the contest to allow five runs over five innings after tweaking his left groin while making a diving tag in the first inning of Friday’s start against the Blue Jays. It certainly appears that the physical issue adversely impacted his performance. It sounds like there’s optimism the issue isn’t serious and that he’ll be able to make his next against the Red Sox on Wednesday. There should be a better idea of his status coming out of the weekend.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #26
    Concerningly, he struck out just one batter. Most of his improvement this year has been about raising his whiffs from 20.3 percent in 2025 to 23.7 percent in 2026 while drastically raising his strikeout rate. Hancock allowed nine hard-hit balls in this one and batters were all over both of his fastballs. Things figure to get easier next week against what’s left of the A’s in Safeco Field, but this was not the sort of start you watch and think that Hancock got unlucky in.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #26
    Hancock struck out six and walked none, but he gave up two homers in the first to account for the runs. While Hancock left with a lead tonight, it didn’t hold up, keeping him 7-7. Still, the Mariners did win in 10 to improve to 12-12 in his starts. He’ll try to get back over .500 next week against the Blue Jays.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #26
    Hancock gave up five hits, walked two and struck out eight. He improved to 7-7 on the year with the win. Hancock allowed a run on three hits in the first inning and a solo home run to Christian Vazquez in the second inning. Then he settled in and blanked the Astros for the next five innings. Hancock has a 3.30 ERA on the year. He’s lined up to face the Cubs at home next weekend.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #26
    Hancock struck out three and walked one while throwing 64 percent of his pitches for strikes and posting a 10 percent swinging strike rate. The swings and misses have dried up a bit for Hancock, and his four-seamer continues to lose vertical movement, posting just 8.3 inches of vertical break in this one. This is his third straight relatively average start in a row, and you have to wonder if Kade Anderson would be more impactful for Seattle down the stretch.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #26
    Hancock tossed a scoreless first inning, stranded two runners in the second, then surrendered three runs on four hits in the third. One of the runs would be ruled as an unearned run following an error. Riley Greene would later take him deep for a solo homer in the fifth. Hancock gave the Mariners one more scoreless frame, ending his day after six innings with six strikeouts. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 3.33 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 108/29 K/BB ratio across 116 1/3 innings into a start against the Rays in Seattle on Sunday.

    Passan adds that the sense is that Kirby is available and could be moved prior to Monday’s deadline. He also notes that Seattle has been listening to offer for Emerson Hancock and Luis Castillo. The Mariners have top prospect Kade Anderson knocking on the door of the majors and figure to move at least one, if not more, of their current rotation members. Kirby would net the largest return in any potential trade package, despite holding a pedestrian 3.98 ERA across 120 innings this season.

    It’s fair to wonder whether Seattle will wait until mid-August to promote Anderson since that would allow him to remain rookie-eligible for next season. There will be a rotation spot open one they move on from either Emerson Hancock or Luis Castillo ahead of next week’s trade deadline. There’s a chance that both of them are on the move. Anderson has checked every metaphorical box during his professional debut with a microscopic 1.20 ERA and 119/12 K/BB ratio across 82 1/3 innings over 16 starts for Double-A Arkansas. Needless to say, Anderson should be stashed in all fantasy formats. His time is coming.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #26
    Three runs in five innings on the road against one of the game’s best offenses probably doesn’t do much for Hancock’s trade value either way. He gave up one homer, though that was hit just 95.4 mph off the bat by Andy Pages. The other runs scored on three straight singles in the third and a single, a double and an infield single in the fourth. A better third baseman than Weston Wilson might have made the play on the last hit in the fourth to prevent the run. Hancock dropped to 6-5 with a 3.26 ERA. If he stays put, he should face the Tigers next Tuesday or Wednesday.

    Reynaldo López will go on the injured list with shoulder discomfort after losing to the Cubs on Monday.

    López gave up five runs in just three innings against the Cubs. With Bryce Elder also down and A.J. Smith-Shawver getting sent to the pen, the Braves are running low on starters. López, though, seemed like he was going to be more of a bullpen option in October anyway.

    Corbin Carroll had a walkoff two-run homer in the ninth to give the D-backs an 8-7 win over the Marlins on Monday.

    Carroll’s homer off Jack Ralston barely stayed fair down the right field line. He also had an RBI single on a blooper to left in the fifth. It was a nice way to shake off a rough start to the month that had seen him go 5-for-33 with a 14/0 K/BB in his last nine games. A loss tonight would have been devastating to Arizona’s postseason chances with the Padres winning. As is, the D-backs are 2 1/2 games behind San Diego, 3 1/2 games behind the Phillies and four games behind the Cubs with 11 to play. They’ll have to overtake one of the three in order to secure a berth.

    Corbin Burnes pitched 4 2/3 innings and allowed five runs Monday versus the Marlins.

    Making his second start since Tommy John, Burnes allowed three runs in the second and then back-to-back homers to Jakob Marsee and Javier Sanoja in the fourth before eventually departing down 5-4. His cutter was a pretty steady 93 mph early in the game, but it fell off to 91.5 mph in the fourth and fifth. If the regular season were extended by a month, Burnes might be a viable mixed-league starter in October, but the only way we’d know for sure is if the D-backs advance. Burnes should face the Yankees on Sunday.

    Juan Morillo struck out three of the four batters he faced in the ninth Monday and picked up a win over the Marins.

    Morillo kept Arizona’s deficit at one in the top of the ninth and was credited with the win after Corbin Carroll’s walkoff homer. Morillo blew his last save chance Tuesday, but that’s really been his only misstep in months. He has a 2.28 ERA in 59 1/3 innings, and while the D-backs don’t have a closer, he’s probably the team’s best bet for saves the rest of the way.

    Sandy Alcantara yielded four runs in five innings Monday in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks.

    Alcantara outpitched Corbin Burnes and left with a one-run lead that later increased to three runs, but Arizona was able to come back from there. This makes four straight starts in which Alcantara has given up at least four runs, taking his ERA from 3.38 to 3.86. At least he did rebound some with six strikeouts tonight, matching his total from his three previous starts combined. He’ll face the Padres next.

    Jordan Lawlar went 2-for-4 and hit a two-run homer Monday against the Marlins.

    Lawlar nearly had a game-tying homer in the ninth on Sunday, settling for an RBI double instead. Tonight, he did get the homer, sending a ball 412 feet to center to cut the Marlins’ lead to one in the eighth. He also had a steal of second base, with Pavin Smith scoring as the D-backs pulled off a double steal with runners on first and third, Lawlar is hitting .267/.339/.455 with five homers in 113 plate appearances, and he’s overtaken Ryan Waldschmidt in center field in the process.

    White Sox activated RHP Tyler Davis from the bereavement list; optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Davis went on the bereavement list Wednesday. He has a 3.52 ERA in 29 relief appearances for the White Sox this season.

    Jose Siri went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a steal to lead the Angels past the Mariners 6-4 on Monday.

    Missing most of last year with injury seemed like it might kill Siri’s career, but he got a chance with the Angels in mid-May and has been decent in hitting .234/.290/.406 in 217 plate appearances. He’s not a starter going forward, and teams typically don’t love using bench spots on players as strikeout prone as Siri, so he’s probably not a lock for a major league contract if he’s set free this winter. The Angels could keep him by paying him around $1.5 million-$2 million in arbitration, but it’d make more sense to set him free and offer him a minor league deal to come back.

    Reid Detmers allowed three runs over six innings Monday in a win over the Mariners.

    Giving up a three-run homer, in this case to Cal Raleigh, would normally be enough to doom Detmers to a loss or a no-decision. However, with some actual run support tonight, he improved to 6-8 on the year. He had been 1-7 with seven no-decisions while allowing two runs or more, though, really, that he’s won just four of 14 starts in which he allowed one or zero runs is just as ugly. He’s due to face the Twins on Saturday, though since he’s now over his career high for innings, the Angels might play around with his schedule and have him make just one more start the rest of the way.

    Ben Joyce pitched around two walks in the ninth for his fifth save Monday against the Mariners.

    With two outs, J.P. Crawford hit a liner down the first base line that might have gone for extra bases under normal circumstances. However, the Angels were playing the lines with the tying run on first base, and it turned into an easy grab for Vaughn Grissom. Joyce allowed single runs in his previous two appearances, resulting in a blown save Saturday. Still, he’s been fine in accruing a 3.38 ERA in 13 1/3 innings overall.
