Perdomo went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox.

Perdomo's bat had gone a little quiet over the previous week -- he was just 3-for-29 across his previous seven games. The shortstop started the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning and added an RBI single in the eighth to help fend off the Red Sox's late push. Perdomo is up to a .287/.385/.452 slash line with 17 homers, 90 RBI, 88 runs scored and 24 stolen bases over 141 contests in an excellent breakout campaign at age 25.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a stolen base in Friday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox.

Carroll reached the 30-homer mark for the first time with his eighth-inning blast. The outfielder also logged his third steal in the last four games, putting him at 24 thefts on the year. He's swiped 10 bags over his last 19 games, and if he can keep that accelerated pace going, he has a chance to secure a 30-30 campaign by the end of the season. He's up to a .259/.334/.559 slash line and has added 74 RBI, 96 runs scored, 28 doubles and 16 triples through 125 contests.

Sanchez (12-5) earned the win over the Marlins on Friday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out five over seven innings.

Sanchez was extremely efficient Friday, needing just 82 pitches (57 strikes) to cruise through seven innings and record his 20th quality start of the season. The performance also gave the left-hander his 12th win, setting a new career high and further highlighting his dominance during this breakout year. Sanchez has continued to provide valuable length, working at least seven innings in seven of his last 12 starts while keeping his ERA among the league's best. The 28-year-old will take a 2.60 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 186:42 K:BB across 176.1 innings into his next scheduled outing against the star-studded Mets.

Rodriguez (7-8) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Red Sox on Friday.

Rodriguez picked up his second consecutive quality start and win, and he's allowed just one run over 12 innings in that span. His lone mistake Friday came in the second inning when he allowed an RBI triple to Nathaniel Lowe. Rodriguez can still be tough to trust from one start to the next, but he has covered at least six innings in six of nine starts since the All-Star break. He's at a 5.22 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 124:53 K:BB over 131 innings through 25 starts this season. The veteran southpaw is projected to make his next start on the road in San Francisco.

Wolfram allowed one hit and no walks in two-thirds of an inning Friday against the Dodgers.

The Orioles hadn't called upon Wolfram in a week after he threw a season-high 42 pitches and yielded five runs his last time out, but the hurler was able to bounce back with a scoreless outing Friday. Although the southpaw had a ghastly 9.28 ERA through July, he's shown great improvement at run prevention recently. Over his last 11.1 innings, Wolfram has overcome a 1.50 WHIP to post a 0.79 ERA and 15:3 K:BB.

Perez went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Friday's 7-5 loss to the White Sox.

Perez extended his hitting streak to six games, during which time he's batting .391 with a home run, three runs scored and five RBI. The 25-year-old outfielder seems to be blossoming in his second MLB season, and he's now sporting an .804 OPS across 81 games overall. Perez had a .683 OPS in 112 regular-season games as a rookie in 2024.

Horn (0-1) allowed a run in an inning of relief to take the loss Friday against the White Sox. He struck out one.

Horn allowed a run for just the second time in seven MLB appearances this season, which saddled him with his first loss as well. The 27-year-old lefty has spent most of the year with Triple-A Toledo, and while he's generally pitched well when given a chance by the Tigers, he doesn't have a particularly fantasy-friendly role at the moment.

Martin was charged with a blown save Friday against Houston, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks in the eighth inning. He struck out one.

Martin took his third blown save of the season, and he served up his first homer since June 24 in Baltimore. The veteran right-hander should remain a setup man for the Rangers in the final weeks of the season, though he hasn't fared particularly well on the mound as of late. Over his last 12.1 innings, Martin has a 5.11 ERA and 1.78 WHIP covering 15 appearances.

Burger went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Friday in a 4-3 extra-innings win over the Astros.

The homer was Burger's 13th of the year to extend his hitting streak to five games. The infielder had a .658 OPS as of June 20, though he's performed far better at the plate since then as he tries to salvage a disappointing season. Since the start of July, Burger is batting .324 with six extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored over his last 71 plate appearances to increase his OPS to .703 for the campaign.

Bernabel went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

This was Bernabel's first steal in the majors, coming on his second attempt. The corner infielder had 22 steals in the lower levels of the minors in 2022 and notched 12 steals over 120 games at Double-A in 2024, but there's not a ton of speed in his profile. He's also struggled at the plate lately, going just 1-for-32 with two walks and 11 strikeouts over his last 10 games for the first extended slump of his young career. Overall, he's posted a .238/.273/.410 slash line with four home runs, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored, seven doubles and one triple over 128 plate appearances.
