Allard went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. The 28-year-old lefty allowed 10 runs on 16 hits over 8 2/3 innings during his latest stint with the Guardians.

Rasmussen gave up three hits, walked none and struck out five. He improved to 14-5 with the win. Rasmussen’s only run allowed came in the fourth inning when two hits and a sacrifice fly led to the Tigers’ only run of the game. He bounced back nicely after allowing five runs against the Blue Jays in his last start. Rasmussen has a 2.95 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Mets at home next week.

Fairbanks left with a trainer following leadoff walk to Mickey Gasper in the ninth inning of a tie ballgame. The 32-year-old has a lengthy injury history and it wouldn’t be surprising if this were an injured list situation. There should be an update on his status after the game. It would likely be Calvin Faucher taking over as Miami’s closer in his absence.

Tovar was lifted from the contest after landing awkwardly while trying to make a diving catch in shallow left field in the fifth inning. He was 2-for-2 with a solo homer prior to departing. He’ll undergo further evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the issue. It certainly looks like an injured list situation. It would likely be rookie Cole Carrigg taking over as Colorado’s shortstop in his absence.

DeLauter has been battling a lingering hamstring issue for the last week. There’s always a possibility this turns into an injured list situation, but that seems unlikely given the Guardians have allowed him to play through the issue recently. There should be additional clarity on his status in the coming days, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Pederson walked and struck out in a pair of plate appearances before being tossed by home plate umpire Chris Guccione in the second inning. He appeared to be voicing his displeasure from the dugout after not being allowed to challenge a called third strike earlier in the frame when he was given the boot.

Burgos rejoins Arizona’s bullpen mix for Monday’s series opener against the Cubs after spending a couple weeks back in the minors. The 26-year-old made a pair of appearances for the Diamondbacks earlier this season. He’ll operate in middle relief situations.

Bratt heads back to the minors after allowing three runs over just three innings in his latest start against the Reds over the weekend. The 23-year-old rookie southpaw has posted a pedestrian 4.54 ERA and 25/28 K/BB ratio across 39 2/3 innings in his big-league debut.

Miller earns a ticket back to the minors after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 29-year-old journeyman was removed from Chicago’s 40-man roster last week after appearing in just one game.

Ryan remains without a definitive return timeline, but Shelton added that he’ll require a rehab assignment before returning to Minnesota’s rotation. The 30-year-old ace has been out with a glute strain that put him on the injured list earlier this month. It sounds like there’s optimism he’ll make it back at some point in September.
