Bennett pitched well, but things fell apart after a leadoff double in the fifth. A bunt single, an infield single and then an infield double followed; the last hit bounced off Bennett’s leg and into no man’s land on the left side of the infield. The Rays scored three of their four runs in the frame. Bennett struck out four and his only walk was intentional. He made a case for sticking around in Brayan Bello’s spot, but the Red Sox do have some flexibility here with Thursday and Monday as off days. If they stay in rotation, then Bennett would face the Blue Jays next Wednesday.

Correa is holding out hope that he’ll make it back after undergoing what was originally believed to be season-ending surgery to repair a torn tendon in his ankle back in mid-May. The 31-year-old infielder remains without a definitive return timetable, but it sounds like there’s a chance he’s back at some point in September.

Sheets takes a seat for the second consecutive contest due to plantar fasciitis. It’s possible he’ll require a trip to the injured list if he’s unable to get back into San Diego’s lineup later this week.

Sears earns a ticket back to the minors with San Diego acquiring starter Casey Mize from the Tigers at the trade deadline. The 30-year-old lefty has posted an underwhelming 4.68 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 25/11 K/BB ratio across 32 2/3 innings in the majors this season.

Durán heads back to the minors with San Diego picking up Casey Mize and Gage Workman from the Tigers at the trade deadline.

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.

Díaz gets his first chance with the Tigers after being claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks last week. The 25-year-old was an interesting pitching prospect a couple years ago, but his stock has slipped to the point that he’s more of a relief arm at this stage of his development. He’ll operate in low-leverage spots for Detroit.

Freeman will remain stationed on the doorstep of the majors after wrapping up a minor league rehab assignment. The 25-year-old has been out since late June with a herniated disk in his back.

Donovan is back at third base and hitting seventh against the Tigers on Tuesday night after missing nearly three months with a groin issue that put him on the injured list back in mid-May. The versatile 29-year-old has been snake-bitten by injuries, which have limited him to just 25 games in his Seattle debut this season.

Pereda returns as Seattle’s backup catcher with the club finally moving on from veteran Mitch Garver. The 30-year-old hit .270/.324/.365 with two homers in 68 plate appearances over 19 games earlier this season.

Fairchild went 0-for-1 at the dish during his lone game for the Mariners. The 30-year-old journeyman figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and elect free agency.
