Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Tosses six scoreless in win
Rogers (9-2) earned the win against the Yankees on Friday, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.
Rogers generated 17 whiffs on a season-high 106 pitches and held the Yankees hitless until the sixth inning. The southpaw has now allowed just 16 earned runs across 17 starts this season, giving up two runs or fewer in all but one outing. He'll carry a 1.35 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 100:26 K:BB over 106.2 innings into a projected road rematch with the Yankees next weekend.

White Sox's Grant Taylor: Secures fifth save
Taylor struck out two in a clean inning to pick up the save in Friday's 4-3 win versus the Padres.
With this 12-pitch effort, Taylor notched his first save since Aug. 10 to make a mess out of the White Sox closer situation again. Jordan Leasure (three saves) and Mike Vasil (one save) had previously tallied the other four saves for the Chicago bullpen this month. Although Taylor pitched to a 9.31 ERA, 2.17 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB in five innings across seven appearances and nursed a groin injury since his last save, he apparently still has his manager's trust. Leasure, who pitched 1.2 scoreless frames in this contest after entering in the seventh, likely remains the favorite to garner future save chances for the White Sox, but it's apparent Vasil and Taylor will still see opportunities here and there.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Exits with trainer
Woo was removed from Friday's game against the Astros with an apparent injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Woo had made it through five innings of shutout ball Friday, but a Mariners trainer made the decision to pull the right-hander while he was warming up for the sixth. It isn't immediately clear what is bothering Woo, but the team should provide some details regarding his condition relatively soon.

Twins' Pablo Lopez: Exits with forearm tightness
Lopez was removed from Friday's game against Cleveland with right forearm tightness, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Lopez tweaked his forearm while making a diving play on a ball in the third inning, and he was eventually pulled after making it through four frames. The Twins haven't offered any information regarding the severity of his injury, so it remains unclear if he'll make his next scheduled start.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: Out for season
Gelof dislocated his left shoulder during Friday's game against Pittsburgh, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Gelof suffered the injury while diving for a grounder in the fifth inning of Friday's contest, and he will ultimately have to miss the rest of the season. He'll close the book on 2025 with a forgettable .174/.230/.272 slash line to go with two homers, seven RBI, 12 runs scored and a steal through 101 plate appearances in the majors.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: Exits early Friday
Gelof was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates with a left shoulder injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Gelof appeared to be holding his wrist after making a diving play on a groundball in the fifth inning, but the issue has now been revealed to be in his shoulder. He was immediately replaced at second base following the incident and will presumably head in for imaging to determine the severity of his injury. Fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day until the team provides more details about the second baseman's status.

Seth Lugo SP | KC
Royals' Seth Lugo: Unlikely to return in 2025
Lugo (back) hasn't resumed throwing after a recent setback and Royals manager Matt Quatraro said this week that a 2025 return is a "longshot," Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Lugo's back didn't respond well to a bullpen session he threw Monday, and he remains shut down from throwing. With just over a week remaining in the regular season and the Royals all but eliminated from playoff contention, a 2025 return seems very unlikely.

Colt Keith DH | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Hitting IL
The Tigers placed Keith on the 10-day injured list Friday due to right rib cage inflammation.
Keith underwent an MRI after exiting Thursday's game against the Guardians with a back injury, and while the evaluation didn't reveal any structural damage, Keith will require a stint on the injured list. The move will end Keith's regular season, but he'll have a chance at returning in the playoffs.
