Carroll went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Padres.

Carroll has hit safely in four straight games, going 5-for-15 in that span. His homer Friday was his first extra-base hit since his two-homer game in Colorado on Sept. 18. The outfielder has played in a career-high 156 games this season, producing 22 homers, 33 steals, 74 RBI, 120 runs scored and a .232/.313/.430 slash line, results well off the marks he established in 2023. However, he has a manageable 19.1 percent strikeout rate, so most of his downturn in production can be attributed to poor luck.

Kelly (5-1) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out eight over 5.2 innings Friday, taking the loss versus the Padres.

Kelly left his last start due to a right calf cramp, but it wasn't a lasting issue for the right-hander. He was shaky in the first inning Friday, allowing four of the five runs and four of the eight hits on his line as the Padres jumped ono him early. He also gave up an RBI triple to Luis Arraez in the fourth. Kelly wraps up an injury-plagued regular season with a 4.03 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 63:19 K:BB over 73.2 innings across 13 starts, missing nearly four months with a shoulder injury.

Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's 8-4 win against the Mets.

The 31-year-old opened the game's scoring by slugging a 386-foot grand slam in the opening frame off Sean Manaea. This marks the fifth grand slam of Hoskins' career and third this season. He now sports a .215/.303/.422 slash line with 26 homers, 82 RBI and 58 runs across 513 plate appearances this season.

Arraez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Arraez started the game with a double and scored on a Manny Machado single. In the fourth inning, Arraez tacked on the Padres' last run with an RBI triple. It's rare for him to have many extra-base hits, but he has just four singles among his last 11 hits over an 11-game span. For the year, Arraez is at a .314/.346/.391 slash line with four home runs, 31 doubles, three triples, 46 RBI, 82 runs scored and nine stolen bases over a career-high 149 contests.

Megill picked up the save in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Mets, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings while allowing one hit. He struck out one.

With typical closer Devin Williams completing a 21-pitch save Thursday, manager Pat Murphy called upon Megill, who secured his first save since July 23. The 30-year-old flamethrower required only 14 pitches -- 13 of which were strikes -- to complete his first save of more than three outs this season. Overall, Megill has been one of the most dependable relievers in the league, pitching to a 2.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB with 21 saves across 46.1 total innings.

Suarez walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Suarez has converted three straight save chances but has taken three blown saves while allowing eight runs on 12 hits and six walks over 12 innings in September. The closer has managed to keep runs off the board in four of his last six outings. He's now at a 2.77 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 59:16 K:BB through 65 innings while adding 36 saves in 42 chances this season.

Darvish (7-3) allowed three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Darvish allowed 10 runs over 25.1 innings in September after returning from a lengthy absence due to elbow inflammation, but he won three of his five starts in that span. The right-hander concludes the regular season with a 3.31 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 78:22 K:BB over 81.2 innings across 16 starts.

Montas did not factor into the decision in Friday's 8-4 win against the Mets, pitching four innings while allowing two runs on two hits and three walks. He struck out six.

The veteran right-hander was pulled after 82 pitches as Milwaukee looks to keep its starting rotation fresh for the playoffs. The Mets managed to score both their runs in the fourth inning via a two-run homer by Mark Vientos. This marks the third time Montas has not managed to reach the fifth frame since joining the Brewers on July 30 while making 11 starts with his new club. Overall, the 31-year-old owns a 4.55 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB across 57.1 innings with Milwaukee.

Manaea (12-6) took the loss Friday against the Brewers, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out just one.

The 32-year-old's run of brilliance came to an end, as he had pitched to a 2.91 ERA over 65 innings across his previous 10 starts. This marks the first time Manaea has allowed five or more earned runs since his first start of the second half against Miami on July 19. Things unraveled quickly for the Mets southpaw, as Rhys Hoskins launched a grand slam to left field in the opening frame. Manaea concludes a solid regular season, pitching to a 3.47 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 184:63 K:BB across 181.2 innings. He likely will enter free agency this offseason as the two-year deal he signed with the Mets this past January includes an opt-out clause.

Murphy went 1-for-3 with two-run homer in Friday's 3-0 victory over Kansas City.

The Atlanta backstop opened the game's scoring with a 372-foot, two-run shot off Brady Singer in the fourth inning, marking just his fourth September hit in 43 plate appearances. This is the fourth time Murphy has reached double-digit homers in his six-year career. Overall, the 29-year-old is slashing .197/.284/.360 with 18 runs scored and 25 RBI in 257 plate appearances across 70 games.
