Triolo went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run and a stolen base during Sunday's 4-0 win over the Rockies.

Triolo has homered in back-to-back games, a streak that immediately followed a homer drought that lasted over two months and spanned 85 at-bats. Sunday's long ball was Triolo's fifth of the season, and his stolen base put his season total at nine. Triolo has a hit in each of his last five games, going 8-for-17 (.471) with four extra-base hits during that stretch.

Pepiot (9-10) picked up the win Sunday against St. Louis, allowing one hit and one walk across five scoreless innings. He struck out three.

Pepiot had no issues with the Cardinals' lineup, allowing just two baserunners in five innings of work. Surprisingly, he was pulled after five innings and 63 pitches. An injury hasn't been reported, so it seems as though the Rays are limiting his innings in the closing stages of the regular season. Pepiot has thrown a career-high 153 innings in 2025, topping his previous high of 130 innings set last season. The 28-year-old hadn't thrown fewer than 84 pitches in an appearance since June 27. He had allowed 17 runs across four starts spanning 21.2 innings before Sunday's outing. Pepiot is lined up to face the Nationals next weekend.

Liberatore (6-11) took the loss Sunday against Tampa Bay, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

Liberatore hasn't completed five innings in six of his last seven outings, and a fourth-inning solo homer marked Liberatore's fourth consecutive outing yielding a long ball. The 25-year-old left-hander has endured a rough August, going 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA and a 15:8 K:BB across 21.2 innings spanning five starts. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start in Cincinnati next weekend.

Simpson went 2-for-3 with a two-RBI triple and a stolen base during Sunday's 7-2 win over St. Louis.

Simpson's third-inning steal of second base was his fourth pilfer in as many games, boosting his season total to 38 steals. The outfielder also logged his third triple of the campaign. Simpson has been on a tear at the plate lately, going 21-for-53 (.396) with six stolen bases and a 5:6 BB:K in his last 13 games.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a single, a run scored and two stolen bases during Sunday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

Lowe's two steals tied his career high, a feat he had accomplished just two times before. The 26-year-old now has 16 steals on the campaign, and he's swiped a bag in three consecutive contests. In August, Lowe is 13-for-61 (.213) with five doubles, eight runs and eight stolen bases.

Caminero went 1-for-4 with a grand slam during Sunday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

Caminero broke Sunday's game open with his fifth-inning grand slam off Matt Svanson. It was the third baseman's second grand slam of his career. The long ball was his 10th of August, putting him in a three-way tie with Shea Langeliers and Vinnie Pasquantino for the most round-trippers in MLB this month. He's 21-for-78 (.269) with 20 RBI and 15 runs scored during that stretch.

Morel went 3-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 7-2 win over St. Louis.

The performance marked Morel's fourth three-hit game of the campaign, and his first since June 7. Since July 31, Morel is 12-for-39 (.308) with three home runs and 20 strikeouts. He's slashing .222/.284/.409 on the season and has been relegated to a short-side platoon role.

Rogers (7-2) picked up the win Sunday against Houston, allowing one run on five hits and three walks across seven innings. He struck out nine.

Rogers' stretch of outstanding play continued against Houston -- he allowed fewer than two runs for a sixth straight start. He's completed at least seven innings in five of those appearances, owning a 1.07 ERA and a 41:7 K:BB across 42 innings during that stretch. The left-hander has a 1.40 ERA in 83.1 innings this season. He hasn't posted a sub-4.00 ERA since the 2021 campaign. Rogers will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come in San Francisco.

Arrighetti (1-5) took the loss Sunday against Baltimore, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out two.

Arrighetti was stuck with a fifth straight loss despite coming one out short of a quality start. The 25-year-old has been inconsistent since returning Aug. 6 from a four-month IL stint due to a right thumb fracture. He's yielded five runs in two of his four starts and has allowed two runs in each of his other two appearances. Since coming off the injured list, Arrighetti has logged a 6.52 ERA and a 15:10 K:BB across 19.1 innings. He's on track to face the Angels next weekend.

Akin picked up the save Sunday against the Astros, striking out three while not allowing a baserunner across 1.2 innings.

Akin has been part of a closing committee the Orioles have deployed recently, and he was called upon Sunday to secure Baltimore's victory. He had blown his last two save opportunities, so it wasn't a guarantee Akin would continue to be a ninth-inning option. He may have pitched his way into more save chances after retiring all five of the batters he faced Sunday. Akin has a 3.12 ERA, a 47:26 K:BB and three saves in 49 innings this season.
