Adames went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI on Friday in an 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

Adames clobbered his 27th long ball of the season, which brings him closer to recording his third 30-homer campaign in the past four years. The slugging shortstop posted a .636 OPS through the end of June, but he's been a high-end fantasy producer ever since. Since the start of July, Adames is slashing .261/.345/.565 with 18 big flies, 42 RBI, 41 runs scored and four stolen bases over his last 238 plate appearances to boost his OPS to .745 for the year.

Doyle went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

Doyle has picked up the pace on the basepaths with five steals over his last 20 games. In that span, he's batting .324 (24-for-74) while adding four home runs, six doubles and 15 RBI. The outfielder has provided a decent mix of power and speed, though not at the same level as he showed last year. He's racked up 14 homers, 19 doubles, 16 steals, 54 RBI, 52 runs scored and a .247/.291/.395 slash line across 120 contests, but he's been much more consistent in recent weeks.

Goodman went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a walk in Friday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

Goodman has rattled off three straight three-hit games, and he has four of them over his last six contests. He's also racked up 10 RBI in that longer span, which has all been at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The catcher is up to a .285/.331/.538 slash line with 28 homers, 85 RBI, 66 runs scored, 25 doubles, four triples and one stolen base over 124 games this season.

Vodnik allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

Vodnik earned his first save since Aug. 16 versus the Diamondbacks. The Rockies had generated just one other save since that date, which was converted by Juan Mejia. Vodnik still looks like the favorite for closer duties in Colorado, though opportunities are sparse. The right-handed reliever has maintained a 3.05 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 44:22 K:BB while adding seven saves, seven holds and four blown saves over 44.1 innings this season.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a walk Friday in an 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

Devers clubbed his 31st homer of the season and his 16th as a member of the Giants. The star infielder now has six long balls in his last nine games as well. Devers is looking to wrap up the year on a high note -- he's slashing a robust .298/.397/.628 with 12 big flies, four doubles and 26 RBI over his last 141 trips to the plate since the beginning of August.

Freeland (4-14) allowed two hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over eight shutout innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.

Freeland got the nod Friday on short rest after his start Tuesday versus the Giants ended with him getting ejected just eight pitches in. The quick turnaround between starts didn't impact his rhythm, as he threw 64 of 88 pitches for strikes. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer didn't give Freeland the chance to complete what would have been his first career shutout, as the southpaw would have had to face the top of the Padres' order, so Victor Vodnik was brought in to convert the save. Even with the stellar start, Freeland still has a 5.10 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 107:34 K:BB over 139.1 innings across 27 starts. He's lined up to make his next start on the road versus the Dodgers.

Pivetta (13-5) allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to take the loss Friday versus the Rockies.

Pivetta wasn't bad, but he wasn't at his best. The same could be said for the Padres' offense, which was limited to three hits and a walk over the course of the whole game, giving the right-hander virtually no support. Pivetta has secured a quality start in four of his last five outings, allowing nine runs (eight earned) over 29.2 innings in that span, but he is winless in his last three starts. On the year, he's at a 2.85 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 172:44 K:BB through 164.1 innings across 28 starts. The 32-year-old is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Reds.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday in a 2-1 win against the Twins.

Garcia smacked homer No. 16 on the year, and he registered his first hits of the month of September. While the speedy infielder had been more of a steals specialist for fantasy managers in past seasons, he's bloomed into a five-category contributor in 2025. Through 577 plate appearances, Garcia is slashing .294/.357/.472 with 55 extra-base hits, 66 RBI, 66 runs scored and 22 stolen bases.

Estevez picked up the save Friday against the Twins, allowing no hits and one walk with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

Estevez increased his MLB lead in saves with his 38th of the season, also turning in his ninth consecutive scoreless outing. The 32-year-old right-hander has been outstanding all year for the Royals, producing a 2.49 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 52:21 K:BB over 61.1 innings. Estevez has a strong grip on the closer role as the campaign nears an end.

Flaherty did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 loss to the White Sox, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Flaherty threw just 49 of 83 pitches for strikes and allowed runs in four separate innings. It continued an up-and-down second half for the 29-year-old, who has surrendered four or more earned runs in four of his past nine outings while holding opponents to one run or fewer in another four. He'll carry a 4.85 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 171:54 K:BB across 146.2 innings into a road matchup with the Yankees next week.
