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.

Tovar went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.

Tovar got the Rockies on the board with a fifth-inning homer, but that was their only scoring play of the game. This was his first long ball in nearly a month -- his last came Aug. 28 versus the Astros, and he hit a modest .233 (20-for-86) with just two doubles and seven RBI over the 25 games between homers. The shortstop is up to nine homers, 33 RBI, 44 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .256/.299/.402 slash line over 93 contests this season.

Marquez (3-16) allowed six runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Giants.

Marquez was hit hard early, as Willy Adames hit a two-run home run in the first inning and Heliot Ramos added a three-run blast in the second. Marquez lost eight of his last 11 starts this season and allowed 50 runs (44 earned) over 52.1 innings in that span. Overall, he wasn't much better, finishing 2025 with a 6.70 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 83:48 K:BB across 126.1 innings over 26 starts. While he avoided a season-ending injury this year, his poor numbers -- the worst he's had in a full season in his career -- will likely lead to a tepid free-agent market for the right-hander.

Lee went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Lee has gone 7-for-20 (.350) with two extra-base hits over his last five games, following a seven-game stretch in which he went 0-for-20. The outfielder's slump has cost him a little playing time late in the year as the Giants take a look at some other players to evaluate for 2026. Lee has maintained a .264/.326/.407 slash line with eight home runs, 53 RBI, 73 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, 31 doubles and 12 triples through 148 contests.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Adames got to Rockies starter German Marquez early, tagging him for the opening runs in the first inning. This was Adames' first long ball since Sept. 9 versus the Diamondbacks, and he hit just .176 over the 14 games between homers. On the year, the shortstop is at a .226/.320/.420 slash line with 29 homers, 86 RBI, 93 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 22 doubles and two triples across 158 contests.

Ramos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Ramos extended the Giants' lead to 5-0 with his second-inning homer. The outfielder has warmed up late in the season, going 9-for-34 (.265) with four homers and eight RBI over his last seven games. Overall, he's at a .258/.329/.403 slash line with 21 long balls, 69 RBI, 85 runs scored and six stolen bases through 155 contests.

Walker struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Walker has had some missteps in September, allowing six runs over 7.2 innings while converting five of seven save chances. He caused no drama Friday, retiring the side on a tidy 14 pitches (nine strikes). Walker is up to 17 saves this season while adding a 3.98 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 60:17 K:BB through 61 innings.

McDonald (1-0) allowed three runs on five hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Friday.

McDonald gave up a three-run home run to Ezequiel Tovar in the fifth inning but was otherwise quite stingy in a dominant win. This was McDonald's third appearance in the majors this year, and he finished the campaign allowing six runs over 15 innings while adding a 14:2 K:BB. It was a strong showing in his late-season audition, which reflects better than his 5.37 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 144:62 K:BB over 142.1 innings at Triple-A Sacramento. McDonald has likely done enough to be in the conversation for a big-league rotation spot in the spring.

India went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

India's fourth-inning blast off Mason Barnett opened the scoring, but it was all the Royals could produce. India had gone over a month without a homer, batting just .203 (13-for-64) over 21 contests between long balls while missing time due to a wrist injury in that span. He's now at a .234/.324/.347 slash line with nine homers, 45 RBI, 63 runs scored, 29 doubles and no stolen bases over 135 contests. India held a starting role for much of the season but has slipped into a timeshare with Michael Massey and Adam Frazier in September.

Cameron allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Friday.

Cameron did fine until the fifth inning, when the Athletics were able to collect four of their eight baserunners against him. A Jacob Wilson three-run double tied the game after Taylor Clarke entered the game in relief of Cameron, denying the rookie a chance to reach the 10-win mark. He ends 2025 with a 2.99 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 114:43 K:BB across 138.1 innings as well as a 9-7 record over 24 starts. While there were some bumps along the way, Cameron's pitched well enough to have an inside track for a rotation spot in 2026.
