Moore started at first base and went 1-for-2 with an RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

The injury-riddled Rangers are getting by with unexpected names in the infield. Moore, whose contract was selected Friday, filled in for the injured Jake Burger (wrist). There are other opportunities for Moore with two middle-infield starters -- shortstop Corey Seager (appendectomy) and second baseman Marcus Semien (foot) -- currently on the shelf.

Torres went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Royals.

Torres recorded his first three-hit performance since July 22 to help lead the Tigers to a win. The infielder is struggling a bit this month with a .213 batting average and .324 on-base percentage, though he still has a respectable .263 batting average and .365 on-base percentage overall. Torres has also contributed 14 home runs, 61 RBI and 69 runs scored across 120 games this season.

Finnegan (4-4) tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Friday against the Royals. He walked one and struck out three.

Detroit starter Chris Paddack only lasted 3.2 innings, which led the Tigers to use four relievers. Finnegan was the second-to-last one used, picking up his fourth win of the season when Will Vest closed things out behind him in a 5-3 victory. Finnegan has been a strong addition to Detroit's bullpen, as he's yet to be scored on in 13.1 innings since joining the team at the trade deadline. He and Vest should continue to see save opportunities, giving both pitchers fantasy value moving forward.

Duran started at shortstop and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

Duran got the start at short in the first game after Corey Seager underwent appendectomy surgery Thursday. Duran eventually moved to second base in the seventh inning, when Josh Smith moved from first base to short. Duran (against lefties) and Smith (righties) should share the position while Seager is on the mend.

Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Friday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

Suzuki was in the middle of a strong Chicago offensive attack that featured six players with multiple hits. The outfielder has been struggling a bit recently, as this was his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 16, and he's slashing just .222/.369/.296 this month. However, Suzuki remains a potent power threat with a career-high 27 home runs and 87 RBI across 129 games.

Manzardo went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

Manzardo's sixth-inning blast aroused a dormant Guardians' offense, which scored runs in the final four innings to pull out a victory over the team they are chasing for a wild-card spot. The blast was Manzardo's 22nd of the season and snapped a 13-game drought without going deep. He batted just .136 (6-for-44) during that stretch.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and two runs scored in Friday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

Hoerner benefitted from the friendly confines of Coors Field and continued his strong recent play. Over his last 15 games, the infielder is batting .302 with a home run, two stolen bases, six RBI and six runs scored. Hoerner remains a strong contact hitter with a .292 batting average overall, and his greatest fantasy asset is his speed, as he has 23 stolen bases in 27 attempts.

Doyle went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two walks, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Cubs.

Doyle was a primary source of Colorado's offense, drawing a leadoff walk before coming around to score in the fourth inning and then delivering an RBI double three frames later. He's surged since the All-Star break, maintaining a .367 average with seven home runs, 21 RBI and 18 runs scored across 32 games. Doyle has particularly taken advantage of Coors Field, as he has multiple hits in six of his last nine starts at home.

Happ went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a solo home run, two RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

Happ was one of several Chicago players to get a boost from the thin Coors Field air. The veteran outfielder tied a season high with eight total bases, and he recorded his first multi-hit performance in 10 days. On the season, Happ is now slashing .231/.331/.393 with 17 home runs, 59 RBI, 71 runs scored and five stolen bases across 123 games.

X-rays taken on Arias' wrist injury following Friday's game were negative, MLB.com reports.

Arias was plunked by a 94.7-mph sinker on the wrist during Friday's win over the Mariners and was immediately removed. Brayan Rocchio moved from second base to cover shortstop in Arias' absence.
