Lewis went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and an RBI in Friday's 6-2 loss to Cleveland.

Although it's been a lost season for the most part for Lewis -- he has a .680 OPS in 2025 -- it's certainly an encouraging sign to see how active he's been on the basepaths lately. The oft-injured third baseman has 11 of his 12 steals for the year over his last 25 outings, which signals that he's fully healthy as the campaign draws closer to an end. Lewis is flashing the upside that made him the No. 1 overall pick back in 2017, hitting .275 and slugging .461 with seven extra-base hits and 19 RBI over his last 102 at-bats.

Caglianone went 2-for-5 with a homer, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 20-1 victory against the Blue Jays.

The rookie put up a career-high four RBI, matching his total across 14 games in September prior to this contest. Three of those runs were knocked home when Caglianone launched a 406-foot long ball off position player Tyler Heineman in the seventh. The 22-year-old's first big-league campaign has been tough, as he's now slashing .163/.237/.301 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 18 runs scored through 215 plate appearances.

Woo was pulled from his start Friday against Houston due to pectoral tightness, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Woo pitched five scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out seven batters before his pec forced him to come out of the game while he was warming up for the sixth. He's expected to undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, at which point more will be known about his chances to make his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come Thursday against the Rockies.

Pasquantino went 4-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Blue Jays.

The Royals' first baseman collected his 29th and 30th two-baggers of the season and posted the third four-hit performance of his career. Pasquantino didn't even need to play all nine frames to accomplish the feat, as he was lifted in the seventh for Randal Grichuk when Kansas City was up 10-1. The 27-year-old Pasquantino is enjoying the best season of his four-year career, producing a .269/.326/.476 slash line with 30 homers, 106 RBI and 67 runs scored across 645 total plate appearances.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-0 win over Houston.

The big fly was the fourth of the month for Naylor, who in the process achieved the first 20-homer, 20-steal campaign of his career. Remarkably, the first baseman has recorded 16 pilfers in just 48 games since joining the Mariners. For the season, Naylor has been a five-category fantasy stud with a .289 batting average, 20 round trippers, 87 RBI, 78 runs scored and 27 thefts through 141 contests.

Manager John Schneider said Friday that Berrios will be used out of the bullpen going forward, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The arrival of Trey Yesavage on Monday left the Blue Jays with six arms in their rotation, so the team will clear the logjam by shifting Berrios to a long-relief role. The 31-year-old right-hander owns a 4.06 ERA and 1.29 WHIP alongside a 135:54 K:BB through 164 innings on the year, and he could make his first relief appearance of the season soon, considering he hasn't pitched since Tuesday.

Jensen went 3-for-7 with three doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 20-1 victory over Toronto.

The Kansas City rookie batted leadoff and collected the second three-hit performance of his nascent career, doubling twice off Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer in the first. Jensen is off to a roaring start, slashing .344/.447/.688 with two homers, five doubles, seven runs scored and nine RBI in 38 plate appearances across 12 games. The 22-year-old has been garnering plenty of playing time while he splits catching and designated hitter duties with veteran backstop Salvador Perez.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-0 win over Houston.

The homer was Rodriguez's first since Sept. 6 in Atlanta and his fourth of the month. He's three stolen bases away from his second career 30-homer, 30-steal campaign, and Rodriguez has been a five-category fantasy producer since the start of July. The All-Star center fielder had a .722 OPS at the end of June, but he's batting .282 with 20 long balls, 52 RBI, 49 runs scored and 16 thefts over his last 70 outings to raise his OPS to an even .800 for the year.

Lorenzen (6-11) earned the win in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 7.2 innings. He struck out four.

After conceding a solo homer to George Springer in the first, Lorenzen was able to settle in because his offense provided seven runs of support in the bottom of the inning. The veteran righty fired 113 total pitches in this outing, 71 of them being strikes, and took home his ninth quality start of the season. Through 136 total frames, Lorenzen has pitched to a 4.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 118:39 K:BB. The 33-year-old currently projects to make his next start on the road against the Angels.

Rasmussen did not factor into the decision in Friday's 11-7 loss to the Red Sox, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with two strikeouts over three innings.

Rasmussen needed 76 pitches to get through just three innings, generating only four whiffs in his shortest outing since the All-Star break. After closing August with four straight quality starts, the 30-year-old has failed to complete more than five frames in any of his four September outings. He owns a 2.80 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 124:35 K:BB across 147.2 innings this season and will aim to finish strong in a road matchup with the Orioles next week.
