  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Another multi-hit performance

    Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Twins.

    Pasquantino stayed hot at the plate in the blowout win, notching his third straight multi-hit performance. The first baseman has been particularly strong in the power department lately, slashing .277/.333/.660 with a .993 OPS, six doubles, 10 homers and 29 RBI across his past 25 contests.

  • Mitch Farris SP | LAA

    Angels' Mitch Farris: Making another start

    Farris is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Athletics in Anaheim.

    Unsurprisingly, Farris has earned another turn through the Angels rotation after picking up a win in his MLB debut Tuesday. Despite having never pitched above the Double-A level, Farris was composed in his road start against the Royals, limiting them to one earned run on three hits and two walks while recording three punchouts. The 24-year-old lefty should have a good chance at sticking around in the big-league rotation through the end of the season.

  • Dustin May SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Dustin May: Back in starting role Tuesday

    May is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics in Sacramento.

    Just as manager Alex Cora suggested would be the case, May is set to return to a starting role this week after the right-hander was deployed on three days' rest as a reliever in his most recent outing this past Wednesday against the Guardians. While working behind opener Brennan Bernardino, May limited Cleveland to one earned run on three hits and two walks. Since being acquired from the Dodgers on July 31, May owns a 5.40 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB over 28.1 innings through his first six outings with the Red Sox.

  • Joey Cantillo RP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Remaining in rotation

    Cantillo is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Royals at Progressive Field.

    In the midst of a stretch of 17 games in 17 days that began Aug. 29, the Guardians have moved to a six-man rotation that now features Cantillo, who was recalled from Triple-A Columbus this past Wednesday. Taking the hill for the big club for the first time since Aug. 15, Cantillo shined against the Red Sox, earning a win while striking out seven and allowing one earned run on five hits and two walks. Over 30 appearances (nine starts) on the season for Cleveland, the lefty owns a 4-3 record, 3.73 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 87:38 K:BB in 72.1 innings.

  • Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Reaches 30 homers

    Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI, a hit-by-pitch and an additional run scored in Saturday's 10-2 win over Atlanta.

    Rodriguez powered Seattle's offense with his 29th and 30th long balls of the year, marking his third multi-homer game of the season and his fifth home run in the last seven contests. During that stretch, the 24-year-old has gone 9-for-29 (.310) with 12 RBI and six runs scored. On the season, Rodriguez is up to a .265/.317/.475 slash line with 86 RBI, 93 runs, 24 doubles and 24 stolen bases across 628 plate appearances.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Settles for no-decision Saturday

    Miller didn't factor into the decision against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings.

    Miller kept things in check early, retiring nine of the first 10 batters he faced, before surrendering a solo homer to Matt Olson to lead off the fourth inning, extending his streak to eight straight starts with a long ball allowed. The right-hander was lifted in the sixth after issuing a walk to Ronald Acuna that loaded the bases, and the bullpen let one of those runners come home. Miller finished just two outs shy of recording back-to-back quality starts for the first time this season. The 27-year-old will carry a 5.53 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 53:29 K:BB across 70 innings into his next scheduled start against the Angels.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Belts 15th homer

    Torres went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over the White Sox.

    The second baseman capped a five-run fourth inning for the Tigers by lofting a Martin Perez changeup over the left-field fence. Torres is up to 15 homers on the year, reaching that mark for a fourth straight season, and he remains on course for a career-high OBP with a .261/.363/.399 slash line through 127 contests.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Blanks ChiSox for 13th win

    Skubal (13-4) picked up the win in Saturday's 6-0 victory over the White Sox, scattering two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out six.

    Chicago didn't get a runner past second base against Skubal, who delivered his fifth straight quality start and 19th of the season on 90 pitches (63 strikes). Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com, the Detroit ace has 12 outings this season of at least six innings without giving up a run, leaving him one shy of Bob Gibson's legendary 1968 campaign for the most by a pitcher in the live-ball era. Skubal will take a 2.10 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and absurd 222:28 K:BB through 180 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Miami.

  • Martin Perez SP | CHW

    White Sox's Martin Perez: Mauled by Tigers

    Perez (1-4) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on five hits and three walks over four innings as the White Sox fell 6-0 to the Tigers. He failed to strike out a batter.

    The veteran southpaw had no margin for error in a matchup with Tarik Skubal, but after Perez served up a leadoff homer to Jahmai Jones, he completely unraveled in the fourth inning. Perez had allowed just four runs total (three earned) over 21.2 innings in August after returning from the IL, but his first outing in September provided an immediate correction to his ratios. Perez will carry a 3.15 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 39:18 K:BB through 45.2 innings on the season into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Cleveland.

  • Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU

    Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Stays hot with three hits and homer

    Alvarez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Rangers.

    The 28-year-old launched his sixth homer of the season in the fifth inning off Jacob deGrom, marking his third long ball in 11 games since returning from the injured list, a stretch in which he's gone 17-for-37 (.459) with nine RBI and eight runs scored. Alverez added another RBI with a single later in the contest. Saturday's effort also gave the slugger multiple hits in five of his last seven contests, a sign he's quickly regained form as a consistent middle-of-the-order threat for Houston.
