Baltimore goes bullpen-heavy to avert a Blue Jays sweep, with Carson Ragsdale in line for a major-league debut after a strong Tides run. Albert Suárez will start for the Orioles as they lean on late-season depth. On offense, Samuel Basallo shifts to DH while Dylan Beavers stays atop the lineup, eyeing a continued on-base streak that’s fueled a September surge. Toronto counters with Shane Bieber as they hold first place.

Beavers has walked 20 times in 23 games, and Basallo, Beavers, Henderson and company must sustain the offense after four runs in yesterday’s loss. A note: Ravens play later today, inviting cross-talk in this thread about both O’s and the home team from Baltimore.

Blue Jays rally from a 4-2 hole to stun the Orioles 5-4, riding Addison Barger’s fifth-inning homer and Alejandro Kirk’s ninth-inning sacrifice fly. Kirk also delivered an eighth-inning RBI single to keep Toronto within one as Joey Loperfido added a late RBI hit. Baltimore tagged early against Tomoyuki Sugano, with Gunnar Henderson and Coby Mayo providing key early and late offense, while Max Scherzer worked five for Toronto. Bieber may settle the finale as Baltimore halves look to bullpen-day.

Padres lose All-Star reliever Jason Adam to a ruptured quad tendon, likely shelving him for the 2025 season on a 7–9 month timeline, a brutal blow as San Diego fights to catch the Dodgers in the NL West. The bullpen shift opens door for Mason Miller, acquired from Oakland, to step into high- leverage roles and stabilize a unit now without Adam’s steady workhorse presence. Adam posted a 1.81 ERA across 64.2 innings with 69 strikeouts and just 4 homers this season, underscoring how heavy a dent his absence will make.

Manager Mike Shildt and Miller voiced optimism about filling the void, praising Adam as a cornerstone and signaling Miller’s immediate impact as a righty reliever. The Orioles visit Petco Park for two more games, and San Diego must press on without their shutdown option as they chase the Dodgers. Adam’s injury narrative adds urgency to the Padres’ bullpen plans and emphasizes how quickly a team’s trajectory can hinge on a single non-contact breakdown.

Jason Adam suffered a ruptured quad tendon in the left leg, likely sidelining him six to nine months. MRI set for Tuesday will clarify recovery time. The Padres rely on him as a key high-leverage reliever, so his absence heightens bullpen pressure and tests a rotation that’s already stretched thin.

Adam’s 1.81 ERA across 64 2/3 innings this season underscored his value and earned him his first All-Star nod. San Diego added Mason Miller at the deadline to bolster the bullpen, but with Adam out, depth becomes the difference-maker as the Padres push for postseason positioning.

fantasy takeaway: expect a committee in late-inning duties, with added opportunities for other Padres relievers. Monitor Miller’s role and how the Padres allocate holds and saves as the season winds down.

Baltimore pulled off a 4-3 comeback win in San Diego as Dylan Beavers delivered the go-ahead RBI single with two outs in the seventh, two batters after Jason Adam grimaced and left with a knee injury. Gunnar Henderson and Jeremiah Jackson contributed to the late rally, while Dylan Cease’s start included Basallo’s two-run double for San Diego. The Padres tied it briefly on a sequence that included a walk to Cronenworth and a Bryce Johnson hit, but Beavers sealed it late.

Beavers’ clutch knock amplifies his fantasy appeal as a rookie rising in Baltimore, especially with the bullpen shakeups in San Diego after Adam’s injury. For the Padres, the injury adds DL risk and shifts late-inning usage, while Adrián Morejón homered allowed by Baltimore earlier in the game, highlighting the volatility in SD’s bullpen and the importance of tracking who handles cleanups going forward.
