Jose Quintana SP | COL
Rockies' Jose Quintana: Rejoining rotation Saturday
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.

Brewers' Shane Drohan: Works in relief again Friday
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 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.

Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Clubs 10th homer
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.

Cesar Perdomo SP | SF
Giants' Cesar Perdomo: Takes no-decision
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.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Homers off bench in win
Muncy went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 win over the Giants.
The veteran slugger grounded out as a pinch hitter for Miguel Rojas in the fifth inning, but he remained in the game at third base. Muncy then sparked the Dodgers' four-homer barrage in the eighth with a solo shot, his 29th long ball of the year. He's batting .253 with an .847 OPS, 74 RBI, 78 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 142 contests. While Muncy continues to see time as a strong-side platoon option, he's put together one of the better seasons of his career in that role.
