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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Abbott (8-6) took the loss against the Mets on Friday, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Abbott gave up three runs in the first inning and labored throughout, departing at 98 pitches without completing the fifth. The southpaw has now dropped three straight starts, allowing 13 earned runs over that stretch while failing to last more than five frames. He now owns a 2.88 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 130:40 K:BB across 143.2 innings and will try to get back on track against the Padres next week.

Rushing was pulled from Friday's game versus Baltimore with a right lower-leg contusion.

Rushing needed to be helped off the field after fouling a ball off his leg in the sixth inning, but the fact that the Dodgers are calling his injury a bruise suggests he managed to escape without any fractures. Los Angeles is expected to be without Will Smith (hand) for the entirety of the series against the O's, so Rushing's injury could spell increased playing time for Ben Rortvedt.

Peterson (9-5) earned the win against the Reds on Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Peterson was mostly burned by a three-run fourth inning, but he threw 62 of 91 pitches for strikes and was backed by a strong effort from the Mets' bullpen. While it was a step forward after his season-worst outing Saturday, the southpaw has now allowed at least four earned runs in four of his past six starts. He'll take a 3.72 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 140:59 K:BB across 157.1 innings into a pivotal road matchup with the Phillies next week.

Diaz earned the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Diaz entered the ninth with a one-run lead and loaded the bases with no outs before escaping with back-to-back punchouts and a game-ending groundout. The 31-year-old has now converted seven straight save chances since blowing his first opportunity after the All-Star break, holding opponents scoreless in 10 of 14 appearances during that stretch. On the year, he's racked up 26 saves with a 1.83 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 83:20 K:BB across 54 innings.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 11-5 loss to the Cubs.

Garcia launched a two-run homer in the fourth inning before adding a sacrifice fly in the sixth. The 25-year-old has opened September strongly, hitting safely in three of four games with five RBI, three runs scored and three stolen bases. On the season, he's slashing .260/.295/.409 with 12 home runs, 60 RBI, 59 runs scored and 13 steals across 464 plate appearances.
