  • Angels' Christian Moore: Blasts homer in win

    Moore went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.

    Moore has gone 7-for-23 (.304) with eight RBI over his last seven games. The infielder has also struck out nine times in that span, but he has turned things around after a slump in mid-September. For the season, he's hitting just .186 with a .516 OPS, two homers, 18 RBI, four runs scored, four doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 139 plate appearances. With a 33.8 percent strikeout rate in the majors this year, Moore has failed to demonstrate a more patient approach at the plate, which has kept his overall offense limited.

    Angels' Wade Meckler: Comes up homer shy of cycle

    Meckler went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.

    Through six innings, Meckler had a triple, a double and a single, but he couldn't get the homer he needed for a cycle. He grounded out in the seventh and singled in the ninth. While he didn't claim a piece of history, Meckler still put up his fourth straight multi-hit effort. He's now batting .306 with a .775 OPS, three homers, 15 doubles, one triple, eight stolen bases, 27 RBI and 42 runs scored over 96 contests this season.

    Neto went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a pair of doubles, two total RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.

    Neto had gone nine games without an extra-base hit before collecting three of them Friday. The shortstop also has four steals on five attempts over his last 10 contests. For the season, he's batting .241 with a .769 OPS, 26 home runs, 24 steals, 77 RBI, 101 runs scored, 31 doubles and five triples over 155 contests.

The 24-year-old started the scoring with a two-run single in the first and later added a two-run double in the ninth to extend the lead. Over his last 15 games, the switch hitter has slashed .339/.362/.696 with four homers and 12 RBI in 58 plate appearances.

  • Reid Detmers SP | LAA

    Angels' Reid Detmers: Ends strong campaign with win

    Detmers (7-8) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Friday.

    Detmers struggled in his previous start, but he ends the year in a positive note. The southpaw allowed just eight runs over 30 innings across five starts in September, winning three of them while adding a 37:4 K:BB. Overall, he posted a 3.36 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 211:48 K:BB over 185 innings across 32 starts in 2026, just one year after serving as a full-time reliever. Detmers could attract significant offseason trade interest after his career year.

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Lifts homer in win

    Lawlar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-4 win over the Padres.

    Lawlar has faded into a reserve role lately, but he made the most of a start Friday. In September, he has gone 12-for-51 (.235) with seven extra-base hits and seven RBI over 20 contests. Lawlar is batting .256 with a .781 OPS, six homers, 16 RBI, 17 runs scored, five doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 43 games in the majors this season.

  • Lars Nootbaar LF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Lars Nootbaar: Belts leadoff homer in win

    Nootbaar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and three runs scored in Friday's 11-4 win over the Padres.

    Nootbaar set the tone, ambushing Casey Mize on the first pitch of the game. Nootbaar has gone 6-for-15 (.400) over his last four games, though the homer accounted for his first RBI since Sept. 14. The outfielder is batting .241 with a .728 OPS, eight homers, 32 RBI, 38 runs scored, 14 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases across 88 games between the Diamondbacks and the Cardinals this year.

  • Guardians' Austin Hedges: Cracks sixth homer

    Hedges went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs and a walk during Friday's 12-9 win over the Royals.

    Hedges launched his first long ball since Aug. 24 on Friday. The 34-year-old took Noah Cameron deep in the second inning to extend the lead. The catcher extended his on-base streak to eight games. This year, Hedges is batting .249/.328/.380 with six homers and 25 RBI in 245 plate appearances.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Returns to 30-homer mark

    Arenado went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 11-4 win over the Padres.

    Arenado's first year in Arizona saw him get back to the 30-homer mark for the first time since 2022. He reached the threshold with a third-inning blast off Casey Mize. Arenado is batting .254 with an .803 OPS, 85 RBI, 79 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases over 150 contests this year.

  • Brandon Pfaadt SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt: Secures win Friday

    Pfaadt (8-3) allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out seven over 7.2 innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.

    Pfaadt put the Diamondbacks in a good spot for the rest of the weekend, sparing the bullpen with a long outing. He threw 71 of 106 pitches for strikes and earned the win to keep Arizona's playoff hopes alive, gaining ground on the Phillies after their loss to the Rays. Pfaadt had gone six starts without a win prior to Friday. He ends the regular season at a 3.77 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 94:32 K:BB across 136 innings over 29 games (19 starts), and he's pitched well enough to warrant a start in the wild-card round if Arizona makes the postseason.
