Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against Minnesota in an 8-3 win Monday.

Wells struck out twice over his first three plate appearances but ended on a high note with a solo shot to right field in the ninth inning. The long ball was his second in as many days following an 11-game span without any extra-base hits. Despite the mini power surge, the backstop has also struck out four times across those two games and is batting a meager .074 (2-for-27) across his past nine contests. It's been a tough campaign for Wells, as he's notched an ugly .180/.278/.315 slash line through 115 games.

Caballero went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base Monday in an 8-3 victory versus the Twins.

Caballero got the scoring started in the contest with a solo shot to left field in the third inning. He added an RBI single in the eighth and then stole second before subsequently coming around to score on a Ben Rice single. Monday marked the fourth time this season Caballero has stolen a base and homered in the same game. It was a much-needed productive performance by the utility man, as he entered the contest in a 1-for-19 tailspin at the plate. That's one of the factors that has cost Caballero playing time, as he's started just three times across New York's past eight games.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday in an 8-3 victory against Minnesota.

Judge was hitless with two strikeouts through three plate appearances, but he rescued his stat line in a big way by clobbering a 415-foot, three-run homer to left field in the eighth inning. It was his first long ball in his sixth game since returning Sept. 8 from a three-plus-month stay on the injured list. Judge is slated to get a day off Wednesday, but he should still have ample time to shake off any residual rust ahead of the postseason after the Yankees clinched a playoff berth with Monday's victory.

Kremer allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out five batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Monday.

Kremer gave up a solo homer to Jose Caballero in the third inning, but that's the only time New York was able to score against him. The right-hander fell one out shy of a quality start, but he racked up a healthy 14 whiffs on 94 pitches and logged his longest outing since he completed seven frames against Baltimore on Aug. 10. Kremer is next projected for a road matchup against the Angels.

Schreiber earned a save against the Twins on Monday, issuing one walk over 1.1 hitless and scoreless innings. He did not record a strikeout.

Schreiber entered with two outs in the eighth inning after Minnesota put two runners on base while trailing by four runs. He retired the only batter he faced in that frame and returned for the ninth, working around a one-out walk and an error to close out the contest. Schreiber thus notched his first save since joining the Yankees off waivers Aug. 31. The right-hander had a save with the Royals earlier in the campaign, but he's no threat to David Bednar's closing role. Still, he's been excellent so far in his tenure with New York, pitching seven scoreless innings over six outings, giving up just one hit.

Warren allowed two runs (both unearned) on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on Monday.

Warren cruised through five scoreless frames before giving up two runs in the sixth. The right-hander was hurt in that inning by a one-out error and a two-out infield single before yielding a two-run triple. Warren was pulled after that hit and was thus unable to notch a second straight quality start, but this was nonetheless another positive outing for him. Across his past four appearances, he's given up just two earned runs over 21 innings while posting a 21:6 K:BB. Warren has lowered his season ERA to 3.89 during that span, and he's projected to next take the mound in Arizona.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 2-1 win against the Mets on Monday.

Henderson broke a 1-1 tie with a solo shot to right-center field in the eighth inning to produce the game-winning run. The long ball was his first in September and his 23rd overall this season. It's been mostly a struggle for the infielder in 2026, as his .710 OPS is on pace for a career-worst mark. Still, he's provided more power this year after sinking to just 17 home runs across 154 regular-season games in 2025.

Garcia notched a save against the Mets on Monday by tossing a perfect inning of work. He did not record a strikeout.

Garcia took the mound with Baltimore up by a run in the ninth inning. He retired the side in order on 14 pitches (nine strikes) to notch the save. It was his third save in the past six days, and no other Baltimore pitcher has recorded a save during that span, so Garcia appears to have taken over as the team's primary closer in the absence of Ryan Helsley (elbow). Helsley is in the midst of a rehab assignment, but he's missed over 2.5 months of action, so it's not certain that Helsley will be immediately put back into the ninth-inning role upon his return to the major-league club.

Young allowed one run on five hits and five walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Monday.

Young struggled with his control, throwing just 59 of 106 pitches for strikes and issuing a season-high five free passes. However, none of the batters he walked came around to score, as the only run he gave up came on an A.J. Ewing solo homer. Young's wildness did prevent him from going deep into the game, but this performance was a vast improvement over the six-run, 3.2-inning dud he posted in his previous start. The right-hander is projected to next take the mound at home against Milwaukee.

Okamoto went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday in a loss to Detroit.

Okamoto's long ball was a big one, as his three-run blast in the seventh inning turned a two-run Toronto deficit into a one-run lead. However, the Tigers put up runs in the eighth and ninth frames to emerge with the victory. Okamoto has been wielding a powerful bat of late, going deep in five of his past seven games. Monday's long ball was his first that wasn't a solo homer during that span, but he's batting a robust .348 (8-for-23) during the power surge. The rookie third baseman is up to 33 homers on the campaign, ranking 10th in the majors.
