  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Homers in third straight game

    Seager went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

    Seager cut the Rangers' deficit to 3-2 in the eighth inning with an opposite-field shot off lefty Gabe Speier to extend his homer streak to three games. Seager has now hit safely in six straight contests, going 8-for-25 (.320) with four long balls in that span. He's slashing .230/.325/.435 through 366 plate appearances this season with 17 homers, 51 runs scored and 40 RBI.

  • Blue Jays' Michael Lorenzen: Takes loss in relief Wednesday

    Lorenzen (3-12) took the loss Wednesday, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over 2.2 innings of relief as the Blue Jays were downed 2-0 by the A's. He struck out two.

    In a rare low-scoring affair at Sutter Health Park, the veteran righty was the only hurler to struggle in a bullpen day for Toronto. Taking the mound to begin the second inning after opener Braydon Fisher breezed through the first frame, Lorenzen blanked the home side in the second before serving up a solo shot to Henry Bolte in the third and bringing home Tommy White in the fourth on a wild pitch. Injuries have left the Jays without a fifth starter as they try to squeak into the final wild-card spot in the AL, but Lorenzen doesn't appear to be any sort of solution, even in a bulk relief role. Over four appearances and 8.2 innings for Toronto, he's served up three long balls and has stumbled to a 6.23 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB.

  • Cody Bradford SP | TEX

    Rangers' Cody Bradford: Falls to 0-5

    Bradford (0-5) took the loss Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out one.

    Bradford gave up a run on a Taylor Ward two-out single in the second inning before Seattle added two more on a Cole Young double in the fourth. Bradford has failed to make it through six frames in any of his last five starts. His ERA now sits at 4.72 through seven outings (34.1 innings) this season with a 1.57 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB. Bradford is still looking to get into the win column, and he is tentatively slated to make his next start on the road in Arizona.

  • Hao Yu Lee 2B | DET

    Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Patience on display Wednesday

    Lee went 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

    Getting the start at second base and batting second, Lee did an effective job setting the table for the heart of Detroit's order. The rookie infielder is batting just .115 (3-for-26) in September, but he's drawn seven free passes and scored six runs in eight games. With the Tigers having fallen out of the wild-card picture, the 23-year-old will likely continue getting consistent playing time while bouncing between the keystone and the hot corner.

  • Tyler Holton RP | DET

    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Earns second win in relief

    Holton (2-5) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Twins. He struck out two.

    The southpaw came on in relief after Keider Montero started the game and lasted four innings. The short start allowed Holton to earn just his second win of the season and first since June 1. He's pitched well out of Detroit's bullpen with a 2.74 ERA across 69 innings this year, and he's now rattled off eight straight scoreless appearances.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Picks up 26th save

    Munoz earned the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Texas, working around a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Munoz found himself in trouble in the ninth after issuing a walk to lead off the frame. After the runner advanced to second on a fielder's choice, Munoz proceeded to strike out the next two batters, stranding the tying run and logging his 26th save this season. The 27-year-old has been sharp of late, allowing just two runs on two hits while striking out 15 in his last nine innings. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.05 across 53.1 innings this year with a 1.14 WHIP and 85:21 K:BB.

  • John Peck SS | DET

    Tigers' John Peck: Swipes another base in win

    Peck went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins. He also stole a base.

    Peck did a little bit of everything in the victory, including stealing his second base in as many games after getting a day off Tuesday. The 24-year-old is getting his first taste of MLB action and has become Detroit's primary option at shortstop, though veteran Javier Baez can still play there along with fellow rookie Kevin McGonigle when he's not covering third. If Peck performs well down the stretch, he'll put himself in position to be the Tigers' Opening Day shortstop in 2027.

  • Keider Montero SP | DET

    Tigers' Keider Montero: Workload limited again Wednesday

    Montero didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out two.

    The start of the game was delayed by 100 minutes due to rain, but Montero may have had a limited workload regardless. The right-hander was lifted after 74 pitches (39 strikes), the third time in his last four outings he's failed to reach 80 pitches. Montero's 147 innings on the season are a career high, but right in line with the 133.1 innings he tossed in 2025 and the 146.2 he worked in 2024 across all levels, so fatigue shouldn't be a big factor for him. Over his last eight trips to the mound, however, Montero's sagged to a 4.61 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB in 41 frames. With Jack Flaherty (forearm) and River Ryan options to join the big-league staff before the end of the season, Montero could be shifted into a tandem or piggyback role over the final weeks.

  • Kade Anderson SP | SEA

    Mariners' Kade Anderson: Notches first big-league win

    Anderson (1-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Rangers, allowing a run on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out five.

    After giving up four runs in a loss to the A's his last time out, Anderson responded with his best start in the majors thus far. The southpaw allowed one run on a Jake Burger homer in the second inning before holding the Rangers to just three hits over his final four frames en route to both his first win and quality start with Seattle. Through four MLB outings, Anderson sports a 4.29 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB over 21 innings. He's tentatively lined up to face the Angels on the road in his next start.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Powers team to victory Wednesday

    Keith went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

    Keith was eventually lifted for pinch hitter Spencer Torkelson, but not before he clubbed his 10th home run of the season just three batters into the game to give Detroit an early 2-0 lead. The 25-year-old is seeing more time at first base lately in place of the struggling Torkelson, and that arrangement could stick down the stretch, at least against right-handed starters, where the left-handed bat of Keith holds the platoon advantage. He's not been an elite fantasy performer by any means, though his current playing time gives Keith a fairly stable floor.
