Gaddis (6-3) earned the win after allowing two runs on three hits over one inning against the Royals on Friday.

Gaddis came on in relief in the eighth inning and allowed the game-tying two-run homer to Carter Jensen. Despite blowing his sixth save of the campaign in the eighth, Gaddis recorded the win after the Guardians stacked together five runs in the top of the ninth inning. This year, the 28-year-old sports a 2.98 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 57:22 K:BB in 60.1 innings.

Williams did not factor into decision in the Guardians' 12-9 win over the Royals on Friday. He allowed four runs on five hits and four walks. He struck out four.

Williams recorded his shortest start Friday since he lasted just 1.1 innings against the Angels on Aug. 25. The right-hander had trouble against Carter Jensen, giving up three RBI to the catcher, including a two-run homer in the second. Assuming this is his final start this season, Williams has posted a 14-8 record, 3.76 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 248:61 K:BB in 184.1 innings.

Antonacci went 3-for-4 with a run scored during Friday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.

Antonacci recorded his third multi-hit game in his last four games Friday against Colorado. The 23-year-old came around to score on an RBI single by Munetaka Murakami in the eighth inning. This season, Antonaaci is slashing .275/.368/.393 with eight homers, 48 RBI and 43 walks in 549 plate appearances.

Murakami went 3-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and a strikeout during Friday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.

Murakami connected for his first multi-homer game since July 26 on Friday against Colorado. The Japanese first baseman took Tomoyuki Sugano deep in the first and seventh innings. The 26-year-old extended his on-base streak to 13 games after reaching base three times. This year, Murakami is batting .209/.351/.483 with 35 homers and 77 RBI in 544 plate appearances.

Burke (11-7) earned the win after allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Rockies on Friday. He struck out seven.

Burke recorded his third consecutive win and his fourth victory in his last five starts Friday against Colorado. The right-hander gave up only one mistake, allowing a solo shot by TJ Rumfield in the second inning. Assuming this is his last appearance of the season, the 26-year-old posted a 3.34 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 185:62 K:BB in 172.1 innings.

Eovaldi will start Saturday's game against the Twins.

Eovaldi will be making his first start since Aug. 7 during the Rangers' penultimate regular-season game as they continue to compete for a division title. The 36-year-old has made four appearances as a reliever since returning from an elbow injury Sept. 12, during which he's coughed up five earned runs in 8.2 innings while striking out four batters and walking one. He never threw more than 46 pitches in any of those outings, so although he'll be capable of handling multiple innings Saturday, he may struggle to pitch deep enough into the game to record a win.

X-rays revealed a fracture in Jung's right hand after his removal from Friday's game against the Twins, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Jung took a 94.6-mph fastball off his hand during his first-inning at-bat before being removed from the game an inning later. His diagnosis will almost certainly rule him out for Texas' final two regular-season contests and a potential postseason run, putting an early end to his season. Although he'll end the year on a sour note, the 28-year-old enjoyed a largely successful 2026 campaign in which he slashed .299/.365/.462 with 12 homers, 42 RBI and 53 runs scored across 444 plate appearances.

Young (9-6) took the loss against the Yankees in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader, allowing one run on two hits and three walks with six strikeouts over five innings.

Young opened with four scoreless frames before allowing a run on a double in the fifth, throwing 46 of 82 pitches for strikes with 14 whiffs. It was a tough-luck loss for the 28-year-old, who last earned a win Aug. 11 despite yielding two earned runs or fewer in five of eight starts since. He'll finish a solid campaign with a 3.56 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 133:61 K:BB across 156.2 innings.

Warren (11-6) earned the win against the Orioles in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out seven over 3.2 scoreless innings.

Warren appeared out of the bullpen for the second time in September and dominated, throwing 39 of 54 pitches for strikes with 13 whiffs. It concluded a strong month for the 27-year-old, who went 2-0 with a 2.05 ERA and 25:8 K over five appearances (three starts). He'll finish the regular season with a 3.92 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 158:54 K across 156 innings and may work in a similar capacity to Friday for the Yankees in the postseason.

Fortes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday in a 2-0 win over the Phillies.

Fortes made a rare start versus southpaw Cristopher Sanchez, taking the left-hander yard in the second inning. Liam Hicks has taken over as Tampa Bay's primary backstop since the trade deadline, likely leaving Fortes with scant playing time in the playoffs. Through 294 at-bats, Fortes is hitting .262 with six homers, 35 RBI, 12 walks and 33 runs scored.
