Williams allowed a run on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a no-decision Sunday. He struck out three during the loss to St. Louis.

Williams fired five scoreless innings before the Cardinals finally pushed a run home in the sixth. He broke a three-start losing streak but has now failed to complete six innings in seven of his last eight appearances. During that span, he's produced a 5.35 ERA with a 37:19 K:BB. Williams needed 86 pitches Sunday and generated only four swinging strikes. His season ERA sits at 4.86 with a 79:32 K:BB through 76 innings. Williams' final start of the regular season is projected to be at home against Houston.

Lee went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

Lee opened up the scoring with a solo shot to left off Yu Darvish in the third for his first home run since Aug. 12. Lee has just five hits and two RBI through 14 games this month, and three of those hits have come over his last two starts. For the year, he's slashing .207/.238/.341 with 11 homers, 33 RBI, five steals and a 15:121 BB:K in 382 plate appearances.

Vargas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

Vargas took Yu Darvish deep to left center in the sixth to put the White Sox back up 2-1, though the lead would vanish in the eighth. Vargas picked up his first multi-hit game as a member of the White Sox and just his second home run and stolen base. In 36 games with his new team, Vargas is batting .122/.231/.200 with seven RBI, eight runs and a 15:38 BB:K in 138 plate appearances.

Burke did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Padres, allowing one run on two hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings.

Burke held his own against a tough Padres lineup with his only mistake being a solo home run by Jurickson Profar in the third inning. Burke generated 15 whiffs on the afternoon and has 16 strikeouts through his first 14 MLB innings. The right-hander should have one more start before the season concludes, which tentatively lines up to come over the weekend against the Tigers.

The White Sox added Quero to their taxi squad Sunday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

The 21-year-old catcher could make his major-league debut with the White Sox during the last week of the regular season. Quero has been with the organization since July of 2023, when he was traded by the Angels along with left-hander Ky Bush in exchange for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. Quero began 2024 with Double-A Birmingham, but he was promoted to Triple-A Charlotte in July. He missed some time due to a back injury, but across his 25 outings with Charlotte, he slashed .300/.390/.478 with four home runs and 17 RBI across 105 plate appearances.

Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.

Kerry Carpenter went deep twice, and Torkelson tacked on his ninth long ball of the year to give Detroit possession of the last AL wild-card spot for the moment. Torkelson had a sluggish start to the season, but he's been better lately, batting .273 over his last 10 contests with the one home run and four RBI. The 25-year-old should continue to see regular playing time in the final week of the regular season.

Carpenter went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.

Carpenter continued to help power the Tigers toward an unlikely playoff berth, as he's now sporting a robust .952 OPS to go with 17 home runs in just 82 games this season. The most important thing has been that the 27-year-old is healthy, as he missed nearly three months of action with a lumbar spine stress fracture earlier this year. When Carpenter is in the lineup, he's turned into a reliable fantasy option.

Suarez (8-7) took the loss Sunday against Detroit, allowing four earned runs on five hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out six.

Suarez served up three solo home runs -- two to Kerry Carpenter and a third to Spencer Torkelson. Even after tossing six innings of one-run ball against Boston back on Sep. 10, Suarez has been highly volatile in September. The 34-year-old veteran owns an ugly 7.23 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and a 19:7 K:BB in 18.2 innings this month, ballooning his ERA from 3.14 to 3.74. The right-hander will be difficult to trust in his final start of the season, scheduled for next weekend against the Twins.

Foley pitched a clean ninth inning with a strikeout to record the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.

With Detroit winning and Minnesota losing twice Sunday, the Tigers moved into the last AL wild-card spot for the moment. Foley has been a key part of the team's recent surge, as he now has 26 saves this season, including four in the last week. Expect Detroit to keep leaning on its closer in the final week of the regular season as the club battles for a playoff berth.

Holton drew the start in Sunday's win over Baltimore, allowing zero hits and one walk while striking out four in two scoreless innings. He did not factor into the decision.

Holton opened Sunday's game for the Tigers, his ninth start of the season. The 28-year-old excelled, striking out four while not allowing a hit in two dominant frames. The versatile reliever owns a pristine 2.25 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 75:16 K:BB in 92 innings, collecting 13 holds and converting all eight save opportunities.
