  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Tagged for four runs

    Glasnow allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over six-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Nationals on Saturday.

    Glasnow wasn't able to keep the Nationals under control, but the Dodgers' offense picked him up in the late innings. Over three starts since he returned from back spasms, Glasnow has allowed eight runs with a 21:4 K:BB across 18 innings. He's at a 3.12 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 70:17 K:BB through 57.2 innings over 10 starts this season. The veteran right-hander is projected for a road start in Miami next weekend.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Swats clutch homer Saturday

    Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 4-3 extra-inning win over the Astros on Saturday.

    Marte's lone hit was a big one, as his eighth-inning solo homer tied the game 3-3. The long ball was his first since the veteran infielder was activated from the injured list Aug. 31. Marte has notched exactly one hit in each of his four contests since returning, going 4-for-14 with a 2:1 BB:K during that span. He's at a .251/.317/.449 slash line with 22 homers, 66 runs, 68 RBI and four stolen bases through 122 contests on the campaign.

  • Ethan Pecko SP | HOU

    Astros' Ethan Pecko: Allows one run in short start

    Pecko completed 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Arizona on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out two batters.

    Pecko held the Diamondbacks scoreless through four frames but gave up a single to two of the three batters he faced in the fifth. The right-hander was at 81 pitches at that point, so he was lifted in favor of Enyel De Los Santos, who allowed one of the inherited baserunners to score. Pecko has completed five frames in only one of his four big-league starts so far, but this was one of his better outings to date, as the one walk and one run were both career bests. If he remains in the rotation, Pecko is scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Rays.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Smashes 38th homer

    Caminero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 extra-inning win over the Rangers.

    Caminero now has three multi-hit games already in the month of September. After benefitting from hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field for home games in 2025, the All-Star third baseman has shown no ill effects from Tampa Bay moving back to pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field in 2026. He's slashing a robust .281/.365/.532 with 38 homers, 91 RBI and 87 runs scored across 620 plate appearances.

  • Yoendrys Gomez RP | MIN

    Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Slams door for 21st save

    Gomez struck out one in a clean ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the White Sox.

    Gomez made quick work of the White Sox on Saturday, landing six of his seven pitches for strikes. After being designated for assignment by the Rays earlier this season, the right-hander has given the Twins stability at closer. He's successfully converted each of his 20 saves for Minnesota, posting a 2.49 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 43:23 K:BB across 43.1 innings with his new club.

  • Brandyn Garcia RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Brandyn Garcia: Logs first save since mid-August

    Garcia earned a save against the Astros on Saturday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning.

    After the game went into an extra frame, Arizona plated a run in the top of the 10th to take the lead. Manager Torey Lovullo then turned to Garcia, who came through with a 13-pitch scoreless inning to earn the save. The southpaw collected three saves over a 17-day span in July and August, but he hadn't picked up another save across his subsequent seven outings. Juan Morillo and Kevin Ginkel have each gotten into the saves column of late, and both pitched before the ninth inning Saturday, so Arizona's late-inning bullpen situation appears fluid.

  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Adds steal in loss

    Saggese went 2-for-2 with a double, a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Rockies.

    Saggese has hit safely in six straight games, four of which have been multi-hit efforts. He's also logged three home runs, eight RBI and two steals in that span. The infielder's playing time is likely to drop once Masyn Winn (thumb) returns, but Saggese has put together a nice audition that could help him stay in the Cardinals' long-term plans. Over 39 games this year, Saggese is batting .260 with a .772 OPS, four homers, three steals, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored, four doubles and one triple.

  • Ivan Herrera DH | STL

    Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Homers again Saturday

    Herrera went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Rockies.

    Herrera has homered in consecutive contests, and he's logged multiple hits in five of his last six games. In that span, he's supplied nine RBI. The catcher continues to log a fair amount of time at designated hitter to keep his bat in the lineup while Leo Bernal learns the ropes behind the dish. Herrera is batting .248 with a .744 OPS, 16 homers, 62 RBI, 87 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and eight stolen bases over 142 games this season.

  • Joshua Baez LF | STL

    Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Goes yard in loss

    Baez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Rockies.

    Baez has started to find a groove at the plate, hitting safely in eight of his last nine games. He's gone 10-for-29 (.345) with three homers and six RBI in that span. The rookie outfielder is hitting .229 with an .872 OPS, seven homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored, four doubles and two stolen bases over his first 21 major-league contests, and he should see steady time in left field down the stretch.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Now scheduled to start Sunday

    Wrobleski will start Sunday's series finale versus the Nationals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    An earlier report indicated Wrobleski would be pitching behind an opener Sunday, but the southpaw now appears on track to make his 21st start of the season. Wrobleski had a great first half and was named to his first All-Star team, but he's had a rough go ever since, posting a 7.07 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB while serving up 12 homers over 28 innings spanning six outings since the break. Sunday's contest may end up being just a spot start for Wrobleski, as Roki Sasaki (finger) could come off the injured list as soon as next week. Wrobleski is also likely to have a workload restriction in place after he hadn't started since Aug. 15 and made one two-inning, 36-pitch relief appearance in his lone outing since coming back from the IL on Sept. 1.
