  • Brenton Doyle CF | COL

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Swipes bag Friday

    Doyle went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

    Doyle has picked up the pace on the basepaths with five steals over his last 20 games. In that span, he's batting .324 (24-for-74) while adding four home runs, six doubles and 15 RBI. The outfielder has provided a decent mix of power and speed, though not at the same level as he showed last year. He's racked up 14 homers, 19 doubles, 16 steals, 54 RBI, 52 runs scored and a .247/.291/.395 slash line across 120 contests, but he's been much more consistent in recent weeks.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Stays on fire in win

    Goodman went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a walk in Friday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

    Goodman has rattled off three straight three-hit games, and he has four of them over his last six contests. He's also racked up 10 RBI in that longer span, which has all been at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The catcher is up to a .285/.331/.538 slash line with 28 homers, 85 RBI, 66 runs scored, 25 doubles, four triples and one stolen base over 124 games this season.

  • Victor Vodnik RP | COL

    Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Picks up seventh save

    Vodnik allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

    Vodnik earned his first save since Aug. 16 versus the Diamondbacks. The Rockies had generated just one other save since that date, which was converted by Juan Mejia. Vodnik still looks like the favorite for closer duties in Colorado, though opportunities are sparse. The right-handed reliever has maintained a 3.05 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 44:22 K:BB while adding seven saves, seven holds and four blown saves over 44.1 innings this season.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Power surge continues in rout

    Devers went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a walk Friday in an 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

    Devers clubbed his 31st homer of the season and his 16th as a member of the Giants. The star infielder now has six long balls in his last nine games as well. Devers is looking to wrap up the year on a high note -- he's slashing a robust .298/.397/.628 with 12 big flies, four doubles and 26 RBI over his last 141 trips to the plate since the beginning of August.

  • Kyle Freeland SP | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Bounces back with best start

    Freeland (4-14) allowed two hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over eight shutout innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.

    Freeland got the nod Friday on short rest after his start Tuesday versus the Giants ended with him getting ejected just eight pitches in. The quick turnaround between starts didn't impact his rhythm, as he threw 64 of 88 pitches for strikes. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer didn't give Freeland the chance to complete what would have been his first career shutout, as the southpaw would have had to face the top of the Padres' order, so Victor Vodnik was brought in to convert the save. Even with the stellar start, Freeland still has a 5.10 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 107:34 K:BB over 139.1 innings across 27 starts. He's lined up to make his next start on the road versus the Dodgers.

  • Nick Pivetta RP | SD

    Padres' Nick Pivetta: Takes fifth loss

    Pivetta (13-5) allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to take the loss Friday versus the Rockies.

    Pivetta wasn't bad, but he wasn't at his best. The same could be said for the Padres' offense, which was limited to three hits and a walk over the course of the whole game, giving the right-hander virtually no support. Pivetta has secured a quality start in four of his last five outings, allowing nine runs (eight earned) over 29.2 innings in that span, but he is winless in his last three starts. On the year, he's at a 2.85 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 172:44 K:BB through 164.1 innings across 28 starts. The 32-year-old is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Reds.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Lit up for six runs in third loss

    McGreevy (6-3) took the loss Friday against the Giants, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out three.

    McGreevy was torched during his shortest start of the year, tying a season high in hits allowed. The six runs given up were one shy of his season worst, and he pitched fewer than five innings for only the third time in 13 outings on the campaign. The right-hander owns an uninspiring 4.68 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 43:12 K:BB in 2025, though his streaming appeal should see a slight boost from matchup at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park against the Mariners next week.

  • Giants' Carson Seymour: Shows improvement in first win

    Seymour (1-2) notched the win Friday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on two hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out two.

    Seymour threw a season-high five innings, and it was a considerable step forward after he yielded a season-worst four runs in his last start. The 26-year-old right-hander is still in the process of building up his pitch count while filling in for the injured Landen Roupp (knee), as the former tossed a season-high 75 pitches Friday. Seymour will bring a 4.25 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB across 29.2 innings into his next outing, which is set to come against the division-rival Diamondbacks.

  • Juan Soto LF | NYM

    Mets' Juan Soto: Swipes another bag Friday

    Soto went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

    Soto set the tone early with a single, stolen base and run scored in the first inning before delivering an RBI double in the fourth. The 26-year-old has been on fire, hitting safely in 11 of his last 12 contests while piling up seven extra-base hits, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and seven steals over that stretch. For the season, he's slashing .261/.401/.523 with 37 homers, 92 RBI, 108 runs scored and 28 steals across 620 plate appearances.

  • Mark Vientos 1B | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Goes deep in win

    Vientos went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

    Vientos made an early impact, driving in a run and scoring in the first inning before crushing a 427-foot homer in the third. The 25-year-old has been on a tear since the All-Star break, batting .285 with 19 extra-base hits and 32 RBI over 35 games. For the season, he owns a .245/.298/.441 slash line with 16 home runs, 56 RBI and 41 runs scored across 396 plate appearances.
