  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Logs 40th steal

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a steal and two runs scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

    Ramirez walked and scored in the first inning before he doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth. He's scored runs in five consecutive games, crossing home plate seven times while going 6-for-18 with five walks, three steals, one home run and three RBI. Ramirez also stole a base in the eighth inning, upping his season total to 40, his second consecutive season with at least 40 steals.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Launches homer No. 30

    Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-1 loss to Atlanta.

    He spoiled a potential shutout bid for Bryce Elder by taking the right-hander deep in the fourth inning. The long ball was Torkelson's 30th of the season, the second time he's reached that milestone in his career, and he's been on a tear in September as Detroit tries to hang onto its lead in the AL Central. Over his last nine games, the first baseman is batting .371 (13-for-35) with two homers, three RBI and six runs.

  • Charlie Morton SP | ATL

    Tigers' Charlie Morton: Hit hard in loss

    Morton (9-11) allowed six runs on five hits across just 1.1 innings to take the loss Friday against Atlanta. He walked two and struck out two.

    Morton struggled badly in his shortest start of the year. The veteran righty has turned in a few nice outings since joining the Tigers at the trade deadline, but he's mostly been underwhelming with a 7.09 ERA across 39.1 innings in nine appearances. Morton is slated to make one more regular-season start Thursday against the Guardians. The 41-year-old will likely shift to the bullpen in the playoffs given his struggles as a starter, if he makes the postseason roster at all.

  • Yandy Diaz DH | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Goes deep in loss

    Diaz went 3-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 11-7 loss to the Red Sox.

    Diaz was strong in a losing effort, reaching base four times for the second time in three days and giving the Rays an early lead with a solo homer in the third inning. The 34-year-old has stayed red hot in September, batting .429 with seven extra-base hits, eight RBI, 13 runs scored and a 12:8 BB:K through 17 games. On the season, he's slashing .300/.365/.488 with 25 home runs, 82 RBI, 76 runs scored and three steals across a career-high 631 plate appearances.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Tallies four hits in win

    Rafaela went 4-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 11-7 win over the Rays.

    While Rafaela contributed throughout the game, he scored twice and drove in another run across the seventh and eighth innings. It was the 29-year-old's first multi-hit performance since Sept. 2 -- a much-needed effort after he entered the contest stuck in a 6-for-49 slump this month. On the season, he's slashing .243/.288/.405 with 16 home runs, 61 RBI, 80 runs scored and 19 steals over 556 plate appearances.

  • Jarren Duran LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Goes deep in win

    Duran went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 11-7 win over the Rays.

    Duran gave the Red Sox a lead they wouldn't relinquish with a two-run shot in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old has hit safely in eight of his past 10 games, tallying six extra-base hits, five RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .261/.335/.452 with 16 homers, 82 RBI, 83 runs scored and 23 steals across 663 plate appearances.

  • Mitch Farris SP | LAA

    Angels' Mitch Farris: Struggles mightily in Colorado

    Farris (1-2) was charged with the loss Friday against the Rockies, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

    It was the rookie southpaw's worst performance in the major leagues so far, as he surrendered a season-high eight hits and seven runs. However, it was encouraging to see Farris generate 14 whiffs on the evening, and he also threw a season-high 90 pitches. He'll take a rough 6.52 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across four starts into his final scheduled appearance of 2025 against the Royals.

  • Hunter Brown SP | HOU

    Astros' Hunter Brown: Nine Ks in tough-luck loss

    Brown (12-8) was charged with the loss Friday against the Mariners, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out nine.

    That makes it seven consecutive starts of at least six innings for the All-Star right-hander, who piled up his most punchouts since his June 26 start against the Phillies. Each of those last seven outings have been quality starts, and Brown hasn't conceded more than two runs since July 20 in Seattle. Brown's last appearance of the regular season tentatively projects to come against the division-rival Athletics in Sacramento. Through 180.1 innings, Brown has a 2.30 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 201:55 K:BB for the first 200-strikeout season of his career.

  • Parker Messick SP | CLE

    Guardians' Parker Messick: Fans nine, settles for no-decision

    Messick didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Twins, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.

    Messick appeared to be on his way to notching the win, but the Twins were able to scratch across a pair of runs in the sixth inning to tie the game. It was still a very promising showing by the rookie southpaw, who racked up a season-high nine strikeouts and produced an impressive 18 whiffs. Messick has shown plenty of potential overall since being called up by Cleveland, turning in a 2.08 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB over 34.2 innings. His last outing of the regular season is set to come against the division-rival Tigers.

  • Tyler Mahle SP | TEX

    Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Fans six in return

    Mahle pitched 4.2 scoreless innings with six strikeouts and took a no-decision in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Marlins. He allowed four hits and one walk.

    The Texas right-hander returned from a shoulder injury that had kept him out since mid-June. Mahle showed up with his swing-and-miss stuff, as he generated an impressive 12 whiffs out of his 68 total pitches to notch six or more Ks for the third time this season. Overall, the free-agent-to-be has produced a 2.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 62:28 K:BB in 81.2 innings across 15 appearances. Mahle currently projects to make his next start against one of his former clubs, the Twins, at home next week.
