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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fry went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer during Friday's 12-9 win over the Royals.

Fry extended his modest hitting streak to four games after blasting his eighth homer of the season Friday. The 30-year-old launched a two-run homer in the fifth inning off Noah Cameron to give Cleveland a narrow lead. This year, Fry is batting .194/.310/.361 with eight homers and 20 RBI in 210 plate appearances.

Mize (6-10) allowed seven runs on seven hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out one over four innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Mize gave up a home run in each of the first three innings. In his 10 starts as a Padre, he's posted a 7.46 ERA with 13 home runs allowed over 44.2 innings. He posted a 4.32 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 110:38 K:BB through 131.1 innings over 26 regular-season starts, but given his recent form, it'll be tough for San Diego to trust him with a start in the wild-card round.

Gaddis (6-3) earned the win after allowing two runs on three hits over one inning against the Royals on Friday.

Gaddis came on in relief in the eighth inning and allowed the game-tying two-run homer to Carter Jensen. Despite blowing his sixth save of the campaign in the eighth, Gaddis recorded the win after the Guardians stacked together five runs in the top of the ninth inning. This year, the 28-year-old sports a 2.98 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 57:22 K:BB in 60.1 innings.

Smith went 3-for-4 in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Smith's trio of singles Friday accounted for his third multi-hit effort over his last seven games. The catcher is batting .458 (11-for-24) in that span. For the season, he's hitting .259 with a .782 OPS, 10 home runs, 34 RBI, 34 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 72 contests.
