Kayfus entered Saturday's game as a pinch hitter, stayed in to play first base and was hit by a pitch in a 3-2 win over Texas. He went 0-for-1 with an RBI.

Kayfus was the subject of an odd walk-off victory, when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded that scored the game-winning run and clinched the postseason for the Guardians. Cleveland's not done there; it can finish tops in the AL Central with a win Sunday or a Detroit loss. Kayfus has been a streaky hitter since his call-up in early August, but he's finishing the regular season on a high note with a .905 OPS, six doubles, two home runs and 11 RBI over 19 September games. The rookie should have a roster spot when the Guardians' postseason begins.

Langeliers went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Royals.

Langeliers brought the Athletics within a run with an RBI double in the eighth inning. The catcher has doubled in four straight games, each of which have been multi-hit efforts for him. He's batting .354 (28-for-79) in September, a hot stretch that has lifted his season slash line to .277/.325/.536 across 123 contests. Langeliers has added 31 home runs, 72 RBI, 73 runs scored, 32 doubles and seven stolen bases in a breakout campaign that cements him among the upper tier of catchers in the majors.

Morales (4-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Royals on Saturday.

Morales needed 101 pitches (59 strikes) in this outing, which was far from his best work of the year. Over his 10 appearances (nine starts) in the majors, the rookie right-hander maintained a 3.14 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 43:18 K:BB across 48.2 innings. Morales' body of work in 2025 was decent -- he also had a 10.3 K/9 over 47 innings with Triple-A Las Vegas despite a 4.40 ERA. He should be in contention for a rotation spot from the get-go in 2026.

Witt went 2-for-5 with one RBI and one stolen base in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Athletics.

Witt continues to swing a hot bat to close out 2025 -- he's posted multiple hits in seven of his last 12 games, going 19-for-54 (.352) in that span. The shortstop is up to 38 steals on the year after his theft Saturday, giving him an outside chance of reaching 40 if he plays in the season finale Sunday. For the season, he's added a .296/.352/.502 slash line with 23 home runs, 86 RBI, 99 runs scored, 46 doubles and six triples over 156 contests.

Estevez struck out two and hit a batter while pitching a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Athletics.

This was Estevez's 42nd save of the season, ensuring he would finish first in the majors in the category -- he's two ahead of San Diego's Robert Suarez with one day left in the campaign. Opportunities have been limited for Estevez in September, as he's collected saves in six of his seven appearances for the month. The right-handed closer is at a 2.45 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 54:22 K:BB across 66 innings this year.

Wacha (10-13) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out five over six scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday over the Athletics.

Wacha was able to end the season on a high note with his first quality start in five outings. The veteran right-hander earned a decision in each of his last 10 starts, going 6-4 with a 4.55 ERA after the start of August. His year as a whole was a little better than that last stretch despite the poor record, as he finished 2025 with a 3.86 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 126:45 K:BB over 172.2 innings across 31 starts, though it was a slight step back from his work over the previous three seasons.

Arozarena went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

This was Arozarena's third straight game with a steal as well as his third consecutive multi-hit performance. The outfielder is now 31-for-37 on steals this season, putting him one shy of matching his career high for thefts in a season. He's added a .239/.335/.428 slash line with 27 home runs, 76 RBI, 94 runs scored, 32 doubles and a triple over 159 contests in 2025.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Rodriguez reached on a fielder's choice and stole second and third in the first inning to secure the second 30-30 campaign of his career. He's the only player in Mariners history with multiple 30-30 seasons, and he's still just 24 years old. The outfielder has hit well in September, going 25-for-92 (.272) with six steals and 13 extra-base hits over 24 games. Overall, he's at 30 thefts, 32 homers, 95 RBI, 106 runs scored and a .267/.324/.474 slash line through 160 games this season.

Polanco went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Polanco's fifth-inning blast gave the Mariners a 3-2 lead. He's homered twice over his last three games and now has 26 long balls on the year, the second-best total of any season in his career. The second baseman has added a .265/.326/.495 slash line with 78 RBI, 64 runs scored, six stolen bases and 30 doubles over 138 contests. He's batting .329 (27-for-82) with 17 extra-base hits across 23 games in September.

Gilbert allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

Gilbert gave up a two-run home run to Dalton Rushing in the fifth inning. This was a somewhat limited start for Gilbert, who threw 48 of 75 pitches for strikes. The Mariners are locked into the No. 2 seed in the American League, so they had no need to push the right-hander. He'll finish the regular season at a 3.44 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 173:31 K:BB across 131 innings through 25 starts, and it's expected Gilbert will be part of the rotation for the ALDS.
