Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Moves past forearm bruise
Volpe went 7-for-15 with two home runs, two doubles, two walks, five RBI, four runs and two stolen bases while starting in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's last three games since exiting Wednesday's 9-2 win over Lehigh Valley due to a right forearm contusion.
Volpe sustained the bruise when he was hit by a pitch, but the injury didn't cost him any further time. The 25-year-old has been running hot at the plate at Triple-A in September, slashing .524/.615/.1.095 through the first six games of the month. While Volpe's performance would appear to make him deserving of a call-up, the Yankees may not have a spot on the active roster available for him unless they lose another infielder to an injury.

Will Warren SP | NYY
Yankees' Will Warren: Back in rotation Wednesday
Warren is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rockies at Yankee Stadium, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
During Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Padres, Warren made his second relief appearance of the season, firing 2.1 scoreless frames of relief behind starter Max Fried. The Yankees will separate Warren and Fried during the upcoming week, with Warren getting the nod Wednesday and Fried taking the hill Thursday. Warren will likely be ticketed for the bullpen during the playoffs, but he could pick up a few more starts before the regular season wraps up.

Eli White CF | BOS
Red Sox's Eli White: Leads offense in win
White went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Orioles.
White provided all of the club's offense from the ninth spot in the batting order, launching a three-run blast off Kyle Bradish in the second inning. The 32-year-old has drawn four straight starts, replacing the injured Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps), and is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, tallying four extra-base hits and eight RBI during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .246/.291/.404 with six homers, 28 RBI, 27 runs scored and five steals across 196 plate appearances with Atlanta and Boston.

Kyle Bradish SP | BAL
Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Labors in loss
Bradish (7-13) took the loss against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing three unearned runs on two hits and four walks with three strikeouts over four innings.
Bradish was done in by a three-run homer in the second after Gunnar Henderson committed an error with two outs. He labored overall, though, needing 85 pitches to complete just four innings. It's been a tough second half for the 29-year-old, who owns a 4.63 ERA in nine outings since the All-Star break while failing to exceed five frames four times over that stretch. He'll take a 3.91 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 140:68 K:BB across 152 innings this season into a road matchup with the Blue Jays next weekend.

Payton Tolle SP | BOS
Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Strikes out 12 in win
Tolle (9-6) earned the win against the Orioles on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks with 12 strikeouts over six innings.
Tolle yielded a run in the first inning and then dominated, throwing 70 of 91 pitches for strikes with 17 whiffs. The rookie southpaw tallied his third double-digit strikeout performance of the campaign, and he's now completed at least five frames in each of his nine second-half outings while recording four quality starts. He'll carry a 3.15 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 159:37 K:BB across 137 innings this season into a home matchup with the Royals next weekend.

Aroldis Chapman RP | BOS
Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Earns 33rd save
Chapman earned the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Orioles, allowing one hit and no walks with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.
Chapman was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and quieted the top of the Orioles' order to close the door. The veteran closer owns a 1.80 ERA in 20 second-half appearances and has now converted 17 straight save chances since his last blown save June 28. On the year, he's 33-for-35 in save opportunities with a 2.03 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB across 48.2 innings.

Andres Munoz RP | SEA
Mariners' Andres Munoz: Reaches 25-save mark
Munoz pitched a perfect inning and struck out one to earn the save in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Athletics.
Munoz finished the job after Bryan Woo's eight innings of one-hit ball. A rough end to August saw Munoz work in non-save situations for his first two games in September, and he's started the month with 2.2 perfect innings. He's had his share of struggles with a 4.13 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 83:20 K:BB through 52.1 innings this season, and he has converted 25 of 34 save chances.

Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Spins gem Sunday
Woo (11-9) allowed one hit and two walks while striking out nine over eight shutout innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.
Woo has made some improvements on the road since the start of August, and he was able to take that momentum back home this time. He threw 73 of 102 pitches for strikes in his best and longest start of the season. This was the fifth time this year (fourth at home) in which he's covered at least seven scoreless innings while allowing four or fewer baserunners. Woo has a 4.03 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 158:33 K:BB through 156.1 innings over 27 starts on the year. His next outing is expected to be a rematch versus the Athletics in Sacramento, which is a bit concerning given Woo's 5.63 ERA on the road this year.

Henry Bolte CF | ATH
Athletics' Henry Bolte: Swipes bag Sunday
Bolte went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Mariners.
Bolte's single was the Athletics' lone hit of the game, and even the steal wasn't enough to manufacture a run. He has hit safely in 10 of his last 14 games, going 19-for-59 (.322) over that span. The rookie outfielder is batting .274 with a .738 OPS, eight home runs, 16 steals, 31 RBI, 43 runs scored, 13 doubles and one triple over 101 contests this season.

Gage Jump SP | ATH
Athletics' Gage Jump: Fans seven in loss
Jump (6-10) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Sunday.
Jump wasn't particularly efficient, needing 82 pitches (60 strikes) to get through his four frames. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark in four of his last seven outings, giving up 27 runs over 33.2 innings with a 38:20 K:BB in that span. The 23-year-old southpaw is at a 5.12 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 106:45 K:BB through 96.2 innings over 19 starts in the majors this year. He has totaled 134.2 innings between the majors and Triple-A in 2026, up from 111.2 frames between Double-A and High-A in 2025, so there may be some intent from the Athletics to keep his outings short. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home in a rematch with the Mariners.
