Gray will get a chance to ramp up in the minors after missing all of 2025 due to Tommy John surgery. Hassell being optioned down is likely good news for Joey Wiemer’s chances of winning a bench spot.

Adames did his damage in the fourth inning of this one, ambushing a first-pitch fastball from Gavin Williams for a 418-foot (103.4-mph EV) two-run blast that got the Giants on the board and pulled them to within a run at 3-2. That would be the extent of their offense. Adames finished the afternoon 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. He’s had a disappointing season at the dish, slashing just .229/.288/.421 with the aforementioned 20 long balls and 50 RBI.

His blast off Ian Seymour was projected at 42 feet. Cameron, who opened this year in Korea before signing a minor league deal with the Jays last month, is 4-for-11 with two extra-base hits since being called up as Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s replacement on Saturday. He still might be the choice to go when Guerrero returns, unless maybe Brett Bateman requires an IL stint.

Bieber struck out a season-high seven and completed seven innings for the second time in 11 starts this season. the first time was also against the Rays in a 3-1 victory four weeks ago. He’s 3-0 with a 2.96 ERA in four starts this month, and he’ll be a nice fantasy option against the Royals next week.

Kazuma Okamoto, Nathan Lukes and Daz Cameron all took him deep. That brings Seymour’s total of homers allowed to 18 in 101 1/3 innings. The 123/32 K/BB ratio is really nice, but he needs to do a better job of keeping the ball in the park to emerge as an above average starter. He should face the Tigers next week, but with Griffin Jax making his way back, it’s possible that will be his final start for a spell.

Not many players can hit a ball 114 mph and to see it twice in a game is pretty special, even if they only turned into a single and a groundout today. There have been four 114-mph balls in play this week, and Caminero is responsible for three of them; he also had a 116.9-mph single against the Jays on Tuesday. The other belongs to Coby Mayo, who had a 114.2-mph homer against the Rays on Monday.

The right-hander also issued four walks in the contest while striking out a pair of opposing hitters. The Guardians got to him early in this one, stringing together a walk, three singles and a sacrifice fly to push three runs across in the opening inning. He settled in nicely afterwards, but the damage had already been done. Roupp got seven whiffs on 90 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 24 percent. Now 7-13 on the season, he’ll carry a 4.34 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 130/64 K/BB ratio (134 2/3 innings) into Tuesday’s matchup against the Reds.

Outman has been shelved since August 13 after suffering a concussion. It’s unclear how many games he’ll need there before he’s cleared to rejoin the Tigers. Brett Callahan is at risk to get squeezed off of the club’s active roster when Outman returns.

Palencia has been out since mid-June. He had a 2.70 ERA in 16 2/3 innings, striking out 19, before being sent to the injured list. Jacob Webb will likely remain in the mix for saves given how strong Webb has been this year, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Palencia eventually got the job back after he proves himself healthy and in good form.

He pulled up rounding third base and gingerly walked off the field with the trainer and manager Matt Quatraro, grabbing at his hamstring. Garcia has been no stranger to the injured list this year and it looks like this might lead to another placement there. The Royals should have an update on his status in the near future.

He grabbed at the back of hamstring after running out a ground ball in the fourth inning. Ernie Clement shuffled over to shortstop. Giménez could be looking at an extended absence, the Blue Jays should update his status in the near future.
