  • Astros' Cristian Javier: Nabs second victory

    Javier (2-3) earned the win over Texas on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

    Javier surrendered a pair of runs in the second inning, but the Rangers were unable to cross the plate outside of that frame. The righty hurler finished with his second quality start of the campaign and completed exactly six innings for the third time in his past four outings. Javier is just over five weeks past his 2025 Astros debut after coming back from Tommy John surgery, and his 88 pitches Wednesday marked a season high. His next start is projected to be on the road against the Athletics.

  • Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Grabs 27th save

    Fairbanks earned the save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    Called upon to protect a one-run lead, the right-hander locked down his 27th save of the season with ease, continuing his bounce-back form after a rocky stretch in which he allowed six earned runs over seven appearances. Since then, Fairbanks has gone four straight outings without allowing a hit, converting three saves in that span. The 31-year-old now sports a 2.98 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 58:18 K:BB across 57.1 innings this season.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Continues to dominate vs. Rays

    Gausman didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Rays, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

    Gausman gave up an early run in the first inning but quickly settled in, retiring 18 of the next 22 batters while blanking Tampa Bay the rest of the way. Coming off a complete-game shutout against Houston in which he allowed just two hits, the right-hander continued his dominant form Wednesday, though Toronto's lack of run support left him with a no-decision. Gausman has now given up only three runs across his last four starts (30 innings), posting a 0.90 ERA and 28:4 K:BB during that span. The veteran is slated to face the Red Sox early next week in his next start.

  • Ian Seymour RP | TB

    Rays' Ian Seymour: Cruises through seven in win

    Seymour (4-2) earned the win Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing one unearned run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings.

    The left-hander was sharp throughout, with Toronto's lone run coming in the fourth inning after a defensive miscue on a potential double-play ball extended the frame. Seymour has been hurt by poor defense lately, as he's surrendered 13 runs over his last four starts despite only four being earned. He's been excellent during that stretch, pitching to a 1.69 ERA with a 21:6 K:BB across 21.1 innings. Wednesday's outing also marked the longest start of Seymour's short career, surpassing his previous high of 5.1 innings from his previous start. The 26-year-old is slated to face Baltimore in his next outing.

  • Lucas Giolito SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Lucas Giolito: Struggles with command vs. A's

    Giolito didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's win against the Athletics, allowing four runs on five hits and five walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings.

    Giolito worked around constant traffic early and stranded six runners through four frames to limit the damage to one run, but it caught up to him in the fifth. After a single and two walks loaded the bases with one out, the right-hander was lifted, and all three inherited runners came around to score. The rough outing snapped a strong four-start stretch in which Giolito had posted a 1.46 ERA and 22:10 K:BB across 24.2 innings. He is slated to take the mound against the Blue Jays next, which is a tough assignment given that Toronto leads MLB in runs scored in the back half of the season.

  • Mason Barnett SP | ATH

    Athletics' Mason Barnett: Another short start Wednesday

    Barnett didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's loss against the Red Sox, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out two over four innings

    The rookie right-hander gave up a run in the first inning before serving up a solo homer to Rob Refsnyder in the second. While he managed to avoid further damage, Barnett has now surrendered 14 runs in just 16.2 innings since his call-up, struggling to find consistency at the major-league level to the tune of a 7.56 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across four starts. The 24-year-old has tallied more than four innings only once in those four outings. Assuming he retains his rotation spot, Barnett is slated to face the Astros in his next scheduled start.

  • Cody Bellinger LF | NYY

    Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Clubs 29th homer

    Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Twins.

    Bellinger blasted his 29th big fly of the year, putting him on the verge of the second 30-homer campaign of his career and his first since his 2019 National League MVP season. The veteran outfielder is on the cusp of recording a 100-RBI season for the second time in his career as well, as he's up to 97 RBI in 2025. Bellinger has also been a five-category contributor for fantasy managers, batting .275 with 81 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 553 at-bats to go with his strong power figures.

  • Trent Grisham CF | NYY

    Yankees' Trent Grisham: Goes yard twice Wednesday

    Grisham went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Twins.

    Grisham now has seven multi-homer games for his career, and five of them have come in 2025. Perhaps even more remarkably, three of these efforts have occurred in his last 26 outings (112 plate appearances), during which Grisham is slashing .223/.339/.606 with 12 round trippers, 25 RBI and two stolen bases to boost his OPS to a career-high .825 for the year.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Explodes with homer, four hits

    Suarez went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Royals.

    Suarez broke out in a big way -- he entered Wednesday having gone hitless in his last eight games following a two-homer performance Sept. 7 in Atlanta. The All-Star third baseman still has time to turn in the first 50-homer campaign of his career, as he's up to 46 big flies in 2025. That said, Suarez has a miserable .453 OPS over 23 home games since joining Seattle, but his .904 OPS across 20 contests on the road has kept his fantasy value afloat.

  • Ryan Bergert SP | KC

    Royals' Ryan Bergert: Headed for IL

    The Royals are expected to place Bergert on the 15-day injured list Thursday with forearm tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Bergert reported a problem with his forearm after throwing a bullpen session Wednesday. The 25-year-old's move to the IL will put an early end to his rookie regular season, finishing with a 3.66 ERA and 1.26 WHIP alongside a 73:35 K:BB across 76.1 innings.
