Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Goes deep twice in victory
Stanton went 2-for-4 with two homers and five RBI in Friday's 8-4 win against Baltimore.
The veteran slugger notched his ninth career performance with five or more RBI, achieving the feat for the second time this season. Stanton also posted his second multi-homer contest of the season, smacking a two-run long ball in first before returning in the third to hit a three-run blast, both coming off Orioles starter Trevor Rogers. The 35-year-old remains a force to be reckoned with when in the lineup, as he's now slashing .267/.342/.584 with 23 homers, 64 RBI and 35 runs scored in 273 plate appearances.

Alejandro Osuna LF | TEX
Rangers' Alejandro Osuna: Rare homer in victory
Osuna went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-2 win over Cleveland.
It was just the second homer of the year for Osuna, who went deep for the first time since July 1 against Baltimore. The outfielder is trying to salvage a poor season at the plate with a strong showing in September. Osuna is hitting .300 over 60 at-bats this month, bringing his average for the year up to .211 to go with 13 RBI and five stolen bases across 147 at-bats.

Will Warren SP | NYY
Yankees' Will Warren: Fans seven in shaky win
Warren (9-8) collected the win in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Orioles, yielding four runs on six hits and one walk over five frames. He struck out seven.
The rookie allowed multiple homers for only the fourth time this season out of 33 starts. Warren conceded a three-run long ball to Jordan Westburg in the third before being chased from the game in the sixth by a Tyler O'Neill solo shot. The 26-year-old wraps his regular season with a 4.44 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 171:65 K:BB across 162.1 total innings.

Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE
Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Goes yard in defeat
Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to Texas.
Manazardo blasted his 27th homer of the year and his first since Sept. 10 against the Royals. The 25-year-old slugger has been a quality power hitter in 2025, though his fantasy appeal has been limited by his weak batting average and lack of run-scoring production. Through 465 at-bats, Manzardo is hitting .232 with just 47 runs scored and two stolen bases, albeit with 70 RBI.

Trevor Rogers SP | BAL
Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Pummeled in the Bronx
Rogers (9-3) took the loss in Friday's contest against the Yankees, allowing six runs on three hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three.
The Baltimore southpaw's run of brilliance finally came to an end, as he allowed more than two runs for the first time since June 18. Rogers was undone by the long ball, coughing up multiple homers for the first time in 2025. The 27-year-old wraps an utterly fantastic season having pitched to a 1.81 ERA, 2.82 FIP, 0.90 WHIP and 103:29 K:BB across 109.2 innings.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Slugs 45th homer
Caminero went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
The 22-year-old became the second player in franchise history to reach the 45-homer plateau, with the only other occurrence happening in 2007 when Carlos Pena cracked 46 long balls. Caminero launched a solo shot off Toronto starter Shane Bieber in the second to tie the game at 1-1. The Tampa Bay third baseman has been a steady source of power all season and is now slashing .262/.307/.536 with 110 RBI and 93 runs scored through 644 plate appearances.

Yoendrys Gomez RP | MIN
White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Falters late in no-decision
Gomez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals, allowing five runs on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts over six innings.
Gomez entered the sixth in line for a quality start before yielding three runs in the frame, ending the day having allowed four home runs. It still marked the longest outing of the 25-year-old's career, and he posted a 4.60 ERA over nine second-half starts. For the season, he finished with a 5.17 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 58:27 K:BB across 62.2 innings as both a reliever and starter.

Jonathan Aranda 1B | TB
Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Clubs homer in return
Aranda (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss at Toronto.
Aranda returned from a fractured left wrist that had kept him out since late July and immediately made an impact after being activated Friday. The Tampa Bay first baseman gave his team a 2-1 lead in the second with a solo shot off Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber. Aranda is now slashing .316/.395/.485 with 13 homers, 54 runs scored and 55 RBI across 413 plate appearances. The All-Star should play a prominent role in the Rays' lineup for their final two games.

Nathan Lukes RF | TOR
Blue Jays' Nathan Lukes: Wallops 12th long ball
Lukes went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Friday's 4-2 victory over the Rays.
The Toronto outfielder carried his team's offense, posting his third performance with three or more RBI this season. The highlight of Lukes' evening was a 399-foot, two-run shot off Tampa Bay starter Adrian Houser in the fifth to give the Blue Jays a 4-2 lead they never conceded. Through 432 total plate appearances, Luke is now slashing .254/.322/.406 with 55 runs scored and 64 RBI over 133 games.

Jeff Hoffman RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Jeff Hoffman: Notches 33rd save
Hoffman collected the save in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rays, allowing two walks but no hits over a scoreless frame. He did not record a strikeout.
Despite issuing two free passes, the Toronto closer wrapped the win on 25 pitches, 14 of which were strikes. This marks the first time Hoffman has walked multiple batters in an outing since Aug. 10, when he granted five free passes in a blown save against the Dodgers. Overall, the righty reliever now sports a 4.37 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 84:27 K:BB in 68 innings while converting 33 of 40 save chances.
