    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Tosses two-hit shutout

    Bibee (10-11) picked up the win Friday, allowing two hits over nine scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the White Sox. He struck out 10 without walking a batter.

    Both hits were one-out singles in the third inning, and the right-hander quickly escaped the jam by coaxing a double-play grounder out of Mike Tauchman. Bibee racked up 35 called or swinging strikes among his 103 pitches (74 total strikes) as he produced his first career shutout, and the first by any Cleveland pitcher since Zach Plesac in 2019. The 10 Ks also tied Bibee's season high, and he's lasted at least six innings in four straight trips to the mound, posting a 3.54 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB in 28 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Minnesota.

  • Adolis Garcia RF | TEX

    Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Timetable shifts again

    Garcia (quadriceps) will face live pitching this weekend and could return at some point during a three-game series in Houston beginning Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Garcia's return estimates have shifted back and forth from this weekend's series against the Mets to next week's against the Astros. He's been out of action since Sept. 1.

  • Brant Hurter RP | DET

    Tigers' Brant Hurter: Healthy again at Triple-A

    Hurter (back) has allowed four earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two batters over 3.2 innings in three appearances for Triple-A Toledo since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 6.

    Hurter missed a little under two weeks due to the back issue, so he didn't require a rehab assignment at a lower-level affiliate before he made his return to the Toledo bullpen. The Tigers demoted Hurter to Triple-A on Aug. 17 in what appeared to mostly be a roster-management decision, as the southpaw had turned in a 2.45 ERA with 62 punchouts over 58.2 innings with the big club on the season. However, with Hurter having since picked up the back injury and not yet pitching effectively for Toledo since his return from the IL, the Tigers haven't been motivated to call him back up.

  • Angel Martinez CF | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: Snaps homer drought

    Martinez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.

    Martinez provided an extra run of cushion with a home run in the eighth inning -- an increasingly rare offensive highlight for Martinez, who had last homered Aug. 6. He entered Friday's contest slashing .189/.250/.216 with one RBI since his previous home run.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Double, run in return

    Arias went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.

    Arias doubled and scored the Guardians' third run. He returned from a three-game absence due to inflammation in his right wrist and was back at shortstop. Arias may have his job back, but he hasn't provided lot of offense, slashing .164/.215/.230 with three RBI over the last 20 games.

  • Riley Greene LF | DET

    Tigers' Riley Greene: Goes deep again Friday

    Greene went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Marlins.

    Greene has gone deep twice in his last three games, and he's now up to 34 home runs this season, which is good for ninth in the majors. The young outfielder had something of a breakout campaign in 2024, but he's taking it to another level in 2025 with career highs in homers and RBI, and he needs three more runs to set a new career best in that category as well. Greene's .836 OPS would also be a new high-water mark if he keeps it up.

  • Lucas Giolito SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Lucas Giolito: Strong effort in loss

    Giolito (10-4) took the loss Friday versus the Yankees after giving up two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out six batters across 5.2 innings.

    Giolito put the Red Sox in an early hole by giving up a home run to Aaron Judge in the first inning, and an RBI single from Cody Bellinger in the third was all New York needed to remain in front for the rest of the game. Giolito was pulled one out before he could deliver his third quality start in his last four appearances. Still, he will take a season-best 3.31 ERA into his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come against the Athletics on Wednesday.

  • Tyler Mahle SP | TEX

    Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Excels in Friday's rehab start

    Mahle (shoulder) struck out six and allowed one hit and no walks over four shutout innings in his rehab start for Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

    The Rangers had contemplated bringing Mahle back from the 60-day injured list for this weekend's series with the Mets, but he instead remained on assignment with Round Rock to continue getting stretched out as he works his way back from the right shoulder strain that has kept him on the shelf since June 15. The veteran right-hander looked about as sharp as the Rangers could have hoped during his third rehab start Friday, showing improved stuff and command from his prior two outings while firing 31 of his 52 pitches for strikes and generating seven whiffs. He'll likely return from the IL for the Rangers' home series versus the Marlins next weekend, but because he's not yet ready to handle a typical starter's workload, Mahle could temporarily work as a bulk reliever, or perhaps get deployed in a piggyback arrangement with current No. 5 starter Jacob Latz.

  • Aaron Judge RF | NYY

    Yankees' Aaron Judge: Leaps past DiMaggio

    Judge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and scored an additional run during Friday's win over the Red Sox.

    After tying the legendary Joe DiMaggio with 361 career home runs Thursday, Judge didn't waste any time hitting No. 362 by sending a Lucas Giolito fastball 468 feet into the Boston night during the first inning. Now in sole possession of fourth place on the Yankees' all-time HR leaderboard, Judge needs just three more long balls over New York's final 15 games to record his third 50-homer season in the last four years.

  • David Bednar RP | NYY

    Yankees' David Bednar: Two punchouts in save No. 23

    Bednar struck out two batters in a perfect ninth inning to collect his 23rd save of the season Friday against the Red Sox.

    Bednar had a three-run lead to work with when he entered in the ninth inning, but the 30-year-old reliever didn't give up an inch en route to tallying his sixth save in a Yankees uniform. After collecting a save in each of his last three appearances, it appears Bednar has emerged as the preferred ninth-inning option for manager Aaron Boone down the stretch.
