Hernaiz went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

Hernaiz has maintained a decent share of playing time over the last week as the Athletics' primary third baseman, but his bat hasn't kept up. He has gone a modest 4-for-20 over his last six games, posting a 3:3 BB:K in that span. His steal Friday was his second of the season, and that's been on six attempts, which isn't great considering he stole 12 bases without getting caught over 95 games to begin the season with Triple-A Las Vegas. Hernaiz has added a middling .250/.323/.357 slash line with two home runs, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored over 32 contests in the majors this year.

Bleday went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

Bleday went yard as part of a seven-run third inning for the Athletics. His blast knocked Angels starter Jose Soriano out of the game. Bleday has already homered three times in September after hitting just two long balls across 19 contests in August. The outfielder is up to 13 homers, 35 RBI, 46 runs scored and a stolen base while slashing .215/.303/.412 across 84 games this season.

Butler went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

Butler has logged multiple hits in five of his last seven games while adding two homers and five RBI in that span. He had a poor August, batting .215 with a .688 OPS over 25 contests, but he turned things around late in the month, and that has carried over to a successful early September. On the season, the outfielder has 19 long balls, 17 stolen bases, 56 RBI, 76 runs scored and a .238/.310/.415 slash line through 135 games.

Barnett (1-1) allowed four runs on three hits and five walks while striking out eight over five innings to earn the win versus the Angels on Friday.

The Athletics' third-inning explosion gave Barnett enough run support, and the rookie right-hander was able to grind out five innings on 102 pitches (55 strikes) to secure his first win in the majors. It was still far from an encouraging performance for the 24-year-old, who has now given up nine runs with a 9:5 K:BB over his first nine innings in the majors. The Athletics are far out of the wild-card race and have a handful of injuries in the rotation, so there's some room for Barnett to learn on the job. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Red Sox.

Soriano (10-10) allowed eight runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four over 2.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Athletics.

Soriano had won three of his last four starts, posting scoreless lines in each victory, but it was again the Athletics that got to him. He posted quality starts in his first two matchups against the A's this year, but they've responded by tagging him for 13 runs across eight innings in his last two starts against them. Soriano has been prone to blowups this year -- this is the eighth time he's given up five or more earned runs and the ninth time he's been charged with at least five runs. Over 29 starts, he has a 4.07 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 148:73 K:BB through 163.2 innings. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Twins.

Story went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Story has made an impact on the basepaths with four steals over his last 10 games. On the year, he's up to 26 steals, and he's yet to get caught. Only Story and Minnesota's Byron Buxton have swiped 20-plus bags without getting caught so far this season. Story has added a .259/.306/.434 slash line with 23 home runs, 88 RBI, 79 runs scored and 24 doubles over 138 contests in his first fully healthy campaign in a Boston uniform.

Tolle (0-1) allowed five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two over three innings to take the loss Friday versus the Diamondbacks.

Tolle fell behind early when he gave up a solo home run to Geraldo Perdomo in the first inning. He then allowed Jordan Lawlar to score on a wild pitch in the second before Ildemaro Vargas lifted a three-run homer in the third. Tolle's second start was obviously a disappoint compared to his encouraging MLB debut versus the Pirates last week. He's now allowed seven runs with a 10:6 K:BB across 8.1 innings. Tolle has gotten at least five days of rest between every start this season, so the Red Sox may need to incorporate a sixth starter or bullpen days down the stretch if they intend to keep him on that schedule.

Wolfram allowed one hit and no walks in two-thirds of an inning Friday against the Dodgers.

The Orioles hadn't called upon Wolfram in a week after he threw a season-high 42 pitches and yielded five runs his last time out, but the hurler was able to bounce back with a scoreless outing Friday. Although the southpaw had a ghastly 9.28 ERA through July, he's shown great improvement at run prevention recently. Over his last 11.1 innings, Wolfram has overcome a 1.50 WHIP to post a 0.79 ERA and 15:3 K:BB.

Perez went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Friday's 7-5 loss to the White Sox.

Perez extended his hitting streak to six games, during which time he's batting .391 with a home run, three runs scored and five RBI. The 25-year-old outfielder seems to be blossoming in his second MLB season, and he's now sporting an .804 OPS across 81 games overall. Perez had a .683 OPS in 112 regular-season games as a rookie in 2024.

Horn (0-1) allowed a run in an inning of relief to take the loss Friday against the White Sox. He struck out one.

Horn allowed a run for just the second time in seven MLB appearances this season, which saddled him with his first loss as well. The 27-year-old lefty has spent most of the year with Triple-A Toledo, and while he's generally pitched well when given a chance by the Tigers, he doesn't have a particularly fantasy-friendly role at the moment.
