Olson went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Olson capped his three-hit night with a two-run homer off Enyel De Los Santos in the ninth inning, extending Atlanta's lead to 6-2. The blast was his 40th of the season, making him the fifth player in franchise history with multiple 40-homer campaigns. Olson also singled and scored ahead of Michael Harris' two-run homer in the fourth as Atlanta clinched a postseason berth with the victory.

Mahle (7-10) earned the win Friday against the Astros after allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings.

Mahle continued his impressive run since joining Atlanta, limiting Houston's only damage against him to Isaac Paredes' RBI single in the fourth inning. Mahle threw 64 of 98 pitches for strikes and departed with a 2-1 advantage before Atlanta pulled away late. He has allowed one earned run or zero in seven of his eight starts with Atlanta, posting a 1.28 ERA and 0.89 WHIP over 49.1 innings since he was acquired from San Francisco before the trade deadline. He's expected to make his next start against the Reds on Thursday.

Hughes did not factor into the decision in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Hughes coughed up three runs in the first inning but settled in from there, throwing 63 of 95 pitches for strikes with 14 whiffs. The 25-year-old matched a season-high pitch count, but he's now exceeded five frames in just one of his 13 starts overall. He owns a 6.33 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 56:24 K:BB across his first 64 major-league innings and will try to avoid ending the season winless in one final road matchup with the White Sox next weekend.

McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

McCarthy drove in a run on a single in the fourth inning before tying the game on an RBI triple in the sixth. It continued a strong September for the 29-year-old breakout, who owns a 1.031 OPS with nine extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and five stolen bases through 16 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .298/.342/.490 with 15 homers, 82 RBI, 77 runs scored and 31 steals across 563 plate appearances.

Carrigg went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

Carrigg tallied his second career two-steal effort and was actually caught trying to swipe a third in the ninth inning. The 24-year-old is finishing his rookie campaign strong, collecting 10 hits over his past five games with three homers, seven RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases in that span. On the season, he's slashing .272/.337/.467 with 10 homers, 46 RBI, 46 runs scored and 11 steals across 340 plate appearances.

The Rockies plan to activate Quintana (elbow) from the 60-day injured list to start Saturday's game against the Mariners in Colorado, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

After completing two rehab starts and checking out fine following his bullpen session Tuesday, Quintana has received the green light to make his first appearance for the Rockies since May 24. The veteran southpaw is likely to be operating with a limited workload Saturday, given that he built up to only 2.1 innings and 47 pitches during his rehab assignment. Prior to landing on the shelf due to a left elbow sprain, Quintana went 2-3 with a 5.27 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 41 innings in nine starts.

Drohan struck out two and allowed no hits and one walk over 1.2 scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning victory over the Orioles.

After making starts in all but one of his 13 appearances from the start of June through Sept. 12, Drohan has now worked out of the bullpen in his last two outings. With the Brewers having pared down their rotation as the regular season winds down, Drohan is expected to continue prepping for a relief role heading into the playoffs.

Bandura went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Bandura has gone 3-for-12 (.250) with a double, a steal and two runs scored over his first five games in the majors. He's made four starts -- two in right field and two as the designated hitter. The outfielder will likely continue to see part-time usage to close out 2026.

Lee went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers.

With the blast, Lee has reached the 10-homer mark for the first time in his three big-league seasons. The 28-year-old outfielder has had a quiet stretch run, going just 9-for-58 (.155) over 15 games in September. For the season, he's batting .274 with a career-high 56 RBI, 65 runs scored, 30 doubles, four triples and 12 stolen bases over 141 contests.

Perdomo allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.

Perdomo was greeted by a Mookie Betts solo home run to lead off the bottom of the first inning, but the young southpaw otherwise put together a decent outing. It was a notable improvement after he gave up five runs over 4.2 innings in his previous start. Perdomo has a 3.72 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB through 19.1 innings over four games (three starts) in the majors. He's projected for one more start this year at home versus the Twins next week.
