Perdomo went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one walk and one stolen base in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

Perdomo is up to 27 steals on the year, though he's logged just three of them over 22 contests in September. He's still hit well this month, batting .325 (27-for-83) with 11 extra-base hits. The shortstop's strong performance is rounding out his excellent season -- he's at a .291/.391/.461 slash line with 19 home runs, 98 RBI, 97 runs scored, 33 doubles and five triples through 159 games.

McCarthy went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

This was McCarthy's first homer since Aug. 19 versus the Guardians. He hit .194 (12-for-62) over 21 games between long balls, including just 3-for-18 (.167) in his last seven contests. The outfielder has produced a lackluster .207/.251/.343 slash line with four homers, 20 RBI, 18 runs scored and six stolen bases over 214 plate appearances in the majors this year, a massive step down from hitting .285 with a .749 OPS in 2024.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

Marte extended his hitting streak to seven games, a span in which he has gone 12-for-30 (.400) with two homers and five RBI. The second baseman has 27 long balls this season, including four across 22 games in September. Overall, he's added a .283/.376/.512 slash line with 71 RBI, 86 runs scored, four stolen bases and 28 doubles through 125 contests.

Gonzales went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Friday against Atlanta.

Gonzales delivered an RBI single in the second inning as part of a three-run rally for Pittsburgh. He's had a quiet September, managing only 17 hits across 83 at-bats (.205) with seven RBI and seven runs scored in 21 games. Gonzales has just an 83 wRC+ across 400 plate appearances for the season, but he should be in the mix for regular playing time in Pittsburgh to begin 2026.

Gallen (13-15) allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Friday.

A Fernando Tatis grand slam in the fourth inning flipped this game in the Padres' favor. Gallen was pushed back a day after dealing with fatigue stemming from an illness in recent weeks, but his final start of 2025 was reflective of his year as a whole. The right-hander finishes the season at a career-worst 4.83 ERA while adding a 1.26 WHIP and 175:66 K:BB over 192 innings through 33 starts. He also gave up a career-high 31 homers, an area in which the 30-year-old will need to improve if he is to get back on track in 2026.

Pham went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Friday against Atlanta.

Pham drew his third straight start, two of which have come against lefties. He smacked his 10th home run of the season in the second inning, six of which have come since the All-Star break. Pham is wrapping up a mediocre season in Pittsburgh, as he has a 93 wRC+ across 444 plate appearances.

Arraez went 4-for-5 with a double and one run scored in Friday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Arraez has hit safely in his last 14 games, with Friday's performance being his fifth multi-hit effort in that span. The infielder was able to hit his 30th double of the year, a milestone he's reached in four straight seasons. He's added four triples, eight home runs, 61 RBI, 65 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and a .292/.328/.393 slash line across 153 contests this season.

Tatis went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Friday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Tatis had missed three games due to an illness. He struck out three times, but his one hit was a big one, giving the Padres a 5-2 lead in the fourth inning when he took Zac Gallen deep for a grand slam. Tatis has gone 22-for-78 (.282) with six homers and 13 RBI over 20 games in September. He's up to 24 homers on the year while adding 70 RBI, 109 runs scored, 32 stolen bases, 27 doubles, two triples and a .266/.366/.441 slash line across 153 contests.

Miller walked one and struck out three over 1.1 hitless and scoreless innings to earn the save in Friday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Miller was brought in when Kyle Hart and David Morgan made a mess of the eighth inning, and he was able to get the last out. Miller was already the fifth reliever into the game for the Padres, and they kept him in to finish off the save rather than having Robert Suarez enter the contest. This was Miller's 22nd save of the season but just his second since joining the Padres at the trade deadline. He's pitched to a 0.81 ERA over 22.1 innings while racking up a 42:10 K:BB and 10 holds during his time in San Diego, giving the team an excellent one-two punch at the back end of the bullpen.

Darvish (5-5) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to earn the win Friday over the Diamondbacks.

Darvish allowed solo home runs to Ketel Marte and Jake McCarthy. September saw steady performances from Darvish, who allowed 14 runs (13 earned) over 24.1 innings while adding a 26:4 K:BB across his five starts this month. The right-hander ends the regular season with a 5.38 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 68:19 K:BB through 72 innings over 15 starts. At this time, it's not clear how he'll be deployed in the postseason.
