Mullins went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, two runs scored and a strikeout during Tampa Bay's 11-3 win over Cleveland on Friday.

Mullins hit his second triple of the season in his second at-bat and came around to score on Jonny DeLuca's RBI single in the fourth inning. In the eighth, the 31-year-old tallied his sixth double of the campaign and crossed home plate after Richie Palacios blasted a three-run homer. On the year, Mullins has slashed .204/.284/.355 with 12 homers, 31 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 347 plate appearances.

DeLuca went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, three runs scored and two strikeouts during Tampa Bay's 11-3 win over Cleveland on Friday.

DeLuca scored his first run on Ryan Vilade's two-run homer in the second inning. The 28-year-old later drove in Cedric Mullins in the fourth to extend Tampa Bay's early lead and scored two more times after that. On the season, DeLuca has batted .267/.303/.440 with six homers, 32 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 203 plate appearances.

Palacios went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a strikeout during the Rays' 11-3 win over the Guardians on Friday.

Palacios took over at second base for Ryan Vilade in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old made a huge impact in his second at-bat with a long three-run homer to give the Rays an 11-1 lead. After picking up his first long ball since July 10, Palacios is now slashing .233/.328/.344 with four homers, 30 RBI and nine stolen bases in 247 plate appearances this season.

Fortes went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored as the Rays beat the Guardians by a final score of 11-3 on Friday.

Fortes recorded his second four-hit game of the season Friday, with the other coming June 10 against Boston. The catcher knocked an RBI single in the fourth to extend Tampa Bay's lead to 5-1 and recorded an RBI double in the seventh to pad the lead even further. Over his last seven games, the 29-year-old has been red hot, slashing .500/.522/.818 with two homers, eight RBI and five runs scored in 22 plate appearances.

Vilade went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer, a walk, a run scored and a strikeout during the Rays' 11-3 win over the Guardians on Friday.

Vilade started the scoring off for Tampa Bay in the second inning by blasting a two-run homer that scored Jonny DeLuca. The 27-year-old has now recorded at least one hit in four of his last five games, belting two home runs in that span. On the season, Vilade has slashed .260/.325/.480 with eight homers and 33 RBI in 170 plate appearances. Vilade's night was cut short after being replaced by Richie Palacios at second base in the seventh.

McClanahan (9-6) picked up the win after going five innings against Cleveland on Friday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out three.

After a rocky start in his last outing against Boston, McClanahan bounced back Friday, allowing just one run in five innings of work. The left-hander threw 71 pitches, 45 of them for strikes, though he tied his season low with just three strikeouts. Through 19 starts this season, the 29-year-old now holds a 3.09 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 88:33 K:BB in 96 innings.

Bednar earned the save in the Yankees' 1-0 win over the Phillies on Friday, when he struck out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.

Bednar needed just nine pitches (six strikes) to close out Friday's game for the Yankees, with five of those pitches coming against Bryce Harper, whom he struck out swinging. Bednar has converted 19 of 21 save opportunities this season and has not allowed an earned run since May 18 against the Blue Jays. He has a 2.47 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB across 43.2 innings in 2026.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 1-0 win over the Phillies.

Goldschmidt was responsible for Friday's lone run with a solo homer off Jesus Luzardo in the fourth inning. It was Goldschmidt's 16th home run of the season, which is tied with Jazz Chisholm for third-most on the Yankees behind Ben Rice (30) and Aaron Judge (ribs) (17). Goldschmidt has a .798 OPS with one steal and 43 RBI over 282 plate appearances this season.

Arrighetti was pulled from his start Friday against the White Sox due to right foot nerve irritation.

Arrighetti gave up two hits and two walks and hit two batters while surrendering three runs in the first inning. He then felt discomfort on the mound while warming up for the second and left the game with a trainer. Arrighetti is lined up to take the mound again Wednesday against the Angels, though it remains unclear whether he'll be ready to go by then.

Schlittler (10-6) earned the win against the Phillies on Friday, allowing three hits while striking out 12 across 7.1 scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.

The Yankees supplied just one run on a Paul Goldschmidt solo home run, but that's all the help Schlittler needed to secure his 10th win of the season. The 25-year-old right-hander set the tone early by striking out six of the first nine batters he faced and ended his night with 16 whiffs and 68 strikes on 99 pitches. Schlittler was one strikeout shy from matching his season high of 13 against the Reds on June 19, and among qualified starters in the majors, he ranks second in ERA (2.07) and third in WHIP (0.93) as well as second in strikeouts (157) across 130.1 innings. His next start is lined up for next week on the road against the White Sox.
