  • Yandy Diaz DH | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Tallies 24th homer

    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Cubs.

    Diaz led off the game with a solo home run, his second long ball in his last four games. He now has career-best marks in both home runs (24) and RBI (79), and he's also pacing for a career-high number of plate appearances. Diaz is closing the season strong, as he's hit .362 with two home runs, five RBI and 10 runs scored in 12 games across September.

    Athletics' Michael Kelly: Earns first major-league save

    Kelly earned the save in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Reds, tossing a perfect ninth inning.

    The 33-year-old right-hander converted his first career MLB save with a clean frame, closing out the win. Kelly has been a volatile middle-relief option recently and now carries a 3.09 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB across 35 innings. While Kelly isn't expected to see many more save opportunities as the season closes, Sunday's effort showed he's capable of handling the role when called upon.

  • Luis Morales SP | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Morales: Notches fourth win

    Morales (4-1) earned the win over the Reds on Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings.

    Morales got off to a shaky start, surrendering a solo homer to Noelvi Marte in the first and a two-run shot to Will Benson in the second. The right-hander managed to regroup from there, working around traffic in his final three frames -- including a bases-loaded jam in the fourth -- to keep Cincinnati from adding on. While it wasn't his sharpest outing, the 22-year-old did enough to secure his fourth win of the year. Morales will take a 3.08 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 34:14 K:BB through 38 innings into his next scheduled start against Pittsburgh, a favorable matchup given the Pirates' league-worst OPS since the beginning of September.

  • Rays' Adrian Houser: Goes six strong in no-decision

    Houser didn't factor into the decision against the Cubs on Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings.

    Houser yielded an early run in the first inning but settled in after that, blanking Chicago over the next four frames before surrendering a solo homer to Ian Happ in the sixth. The outing marked the right-hander's first quality start since July 25, snapping a rough seven-start stretch in which he posted a 4.93 ERA across 38.1 innings. Houser will look to build on Sunday's bright spots in his next projected start against the Red Sox next weekend.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Closing in on rehab assignment

    Rutschman (oblique) is likely to start a rehab assignment at some point this week, MLB.com reports.

    Rutschman took batting practice Friday and Saturday amid his recovery from a strained oblique, putting him on track to return to game action in the minor leagues in the imminent future. It's unclear how many at-bats the Orioles will want Rutschman to pick up in the minors before rejoining the major-league roster, but he still has a chance to be activated from the injured list before the end of the season.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Amed Rosario: Clubs homer in loss

    Rosario went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

    Rosario got the Yankees on the board by taking Garrett Crochet deep in the fourth inning. Playing time has been sparse for Rosario since he returned from a collarbone SC joint sprain Aug. 19, as he has played in just eight games over the last nearly four weeks. Overall, he has a .287/.320/.450 slash line with six homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and one stolen base over 59 contests between the Yankees and the Nationals. For now, Rosario doesn't look to be a threat to Ryan McMahon's starting role at third base.

  • Jose Caballero SS | NYY

    Yankees' Jose Caballero: Hits fifth homer

    Caballero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

    Caballero has been the beneficiary of Anthony Volpe (shoulder) sitting out following the latter's injection to address a partially torn left labrum. Caballero has taken advantage of his extra time, going 6-for-18 (.333) with three extra-base hits and three stolen bases over his last five games. For the season, the speedy infielder has a .233/.332/.345 slash line with five homers, 46 steals, , 35 RBI, 48 runs scored, 16 doubles and one triple across 117 games between the Yankees and the Rays.

  • Aaron Judge RF | NYY

    Yankees' Aaron Judge: Smashes homer in loss

    Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

    Judge has been on a power tear lately, racking up five homers over his last six games. His long ball Sunday gives him 48 homers on the year, two away from reaching the half-century mark for the fourth time in his career. The superstar outfielder has added a .326/.447/.678 slash line with 102 RBI, 123 runs scored, 11 stolen bases, 28 doubles and two triples across 139 games in an MVP-caliber campaign.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Ambushed in first inning

    Warren (8-7) allowed six runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Red Sox.

    Warren was tagged for six of the 10 hits during the first inning, when he gave up all six runs as the Red Sox sent their entire lineup to the plate. The right-hander was able to grind out four more frames, but the Yankees' comeback effort fell short. Warren has struggled against the Yankees' archrivals this year, allowing a total of 15 runs over 14.1 innings in three starts against the Red Sox. Overall, he has a 4.44 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 160:62 K:BB through 152 innings over 31 starts. Warren will look to right the ship in his next start, which is tentatively projected to be at Baltimore.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Caps early rally with homer

    Narvaez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Yankees.

    The Red Sox rallied in the first inning, but the bases were clear after a pair of run-generating outs. That's when Narvaez homered to provide Boston's sixth and final run, which ended up being more than enough for the win. The catcher has gone deep five times over his last 22 games, batting .254 (18-for-71) in that span while adding 12 RBI. On the year, he's up to a .248/.318/.429 slash line with 14 homers, 45 RBI, 50 runs scored, 25 doubles and a stolen base through 109 contests.
