Springs (10-9) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to take the loss versus the Rangers on Friday.

Springs threw 56 of 94 pitches for strikes and ended up one out short of a quality start. The southpaw had a rough August, coming up winless in five starts while allowing 14 runs over 25 innings with a 20:8 K:BB. He's now at a 4.17 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 122:48 K:BB through 151 innings over 28 appearances (26 starts) this season. Springs' next start is projected to be on the road in St. Louis.

Monasterio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Brewers' 7-2 win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

Monasterio supplied the game's first run in the sixth inning with a solo shot to left field off Shane Bieber. It was Monasterio's fourth home run of the season, surpassing his previous career high that he set in 2023. He's now in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak, going 11-for-29 (.379) with six runs, two homers and four RBI over that span.

Collins went 2-for-3 with a two-run double and a steal during Friday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Collins put the finishing touches on the Brewers' five-run six inning with a double to right field that brought Caleb Durbin and Andrew Vaughn home. Collins has cooled off at the plate since mid-August, but he still sports a .298/.390/.484 slash line with six steals, three homers and 25 RBI in 147 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Lewis was placed on the Development List at Triple-A St. Paul.

It's been a rough season for Lewis who has a 7.32 ERA and ugly 81:63 K:BB at St. Paul. Lewis was working on using his knuckleball more this season, so the Twins may have had extra patience with his performance. After giving up six runs while getting one out in his last start, his placement on the Development List may be a way to give him a mental reset.

Vaughn went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored during the Brewers' 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Vaughn helped blow the game open in the sixth inning with an RBI single off Shane Bieber, and the former tacked on another run in the seventh with a single to right field that brought William Contreras home. Since the All-Star break, Vaughn has an .818 OPS with seven home runs and 30 RBI in 164 plate appearances.

Peralta (16-5) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out eight across six scoreless innings.

It was another dominant performance for Peralta, who limited the Blue Jays to just three baserunners before retiring the last 10 hitters he faced. He generated 12 whiffs on 95 pitches (62 strikes), and he was able to collect his league-leading 16th win after the Brewers tagged Shane Bieber for two of five runs in the sixth frame. Peralta has not yielded a run in each of his last four starts, and across 153.2 innings this season he sports a 2.58 ERA and 1.07 WHIP, which rank fifth and 12th, respectively, among qualified starters in the majors. He's slated to face the Phillies at home next week.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Volpe delivered an RBI single in the sixth inning before following with a two-run blast in the seventh. The homer was the 24-year-old's first since Aug. 12, ending a drought in which he went 4-for-43 with 15 strikeouts over 12 games. On the season, he's slashing .209/.273/.404 with 19 home runs, 69 RBI, 59 runs scored and 16 steals across 526 plate appearances.

Schneider went 1-for-3 with a two-run single during Friday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers.

Schneider broke the Brewers' shutout bid in the seventh with a single to left field that brought Bo Bichette and Myles Straw home. Schneider has seen inconsistent playing time this season, but he should get more work in the starting lineup due to Ernie Clement (finger/shin) dealing with injuries. Schneider has gone 16-for-47 (.340) with two steals, five homers and 16 RBI since Aug. 1.

Bieber (1-1) took the loss against the Brewers on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six across 5.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

Bieber dazzled in his Blue Jay debut against the Marlins, and it was much of the same in Friday's contest against the best team in baseball. He set the tone by striking out the side in the first inning to set up a fierce pitching duel with Freddy Peralta. Bieber kept the Brewers off the board through the first five frames before yielding two runs in the sixth, including a solo homer to Andruw Monasterio. Even with the loss, Bieber has looked good in his first two starts since returning from Tommy John surgery, and his acquisition from the Guardians at the trade deadline has solidified the top of the Blue Jays' rotation that includes Kevin Gausman and Max Scherzer. Bieber is lined up to face the AL East rival Yankees in the Bronx next weekend.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a grand slam, a walk, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Grisham scored the game's first run after swiping third in the first inning before breaking things open with a grand slam in the fourth. He's now homered in three straight games and has gone deep seven times in 10 contests since Aug. 20. For the year, the 28-year-old is slashing .248/.354/.482 with 28 homers, 57 RBI, 70 runs and two steals across 475 plate appearances.
