Karros makes his return after missing the past week. Adael Amador was optioned as the corresponding move.

It was a rough start for Hancock as he allowed three runs on two home runs in the opening frame. He was able to settle in and battle around traffic on the base paths the next couple innings to keep Chicago off the scoreboard any further. He'll face the Blue Jays next.

Woodruff wound up avoiding season-ending surgery after followup imaging showed better than expected healing. It is possible he'll be ready to return in the postseason for Milwaukee.

Cholowsky was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft. He went 6-for-36 with a home run and seven walks in nine games for High-A Winston Salem.

It was a historic performance for Arozarena as he hit the first pitch of the bottom of the first inning for the Mariners deep as well as the last pitch of the game. He also robbed a home run in left field. He is slashing .275/.369/.463 with 19 home runs and 20 steals on the season.

Carrillo will add an extra arm in the bullpen for Arizona.

Wisdom gets an opportunity in the majors with Brendan Donovan placed on the concussion IL.

Whisenhunt left the game with a trainer. He'll continue to be further evaluated into Tuesday.
