Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Hernandez's six-game hitting streak ended Thursday, but he bounced back with a homer in his first at-bat Friday. That blast was all the Dodgers needed to get this win. Hernandez is now batting .268 with a .763 OPS, 16 long balls, 64 RBI, 66 runs scored, 17 doubles, two triples and five stolen bases over 123 games. In September, he's hitting .354 with a .997 OPS, getting hot at just the right time.

Williams did not factor into decision in the Guardians' 12-9 win over the Royals on Friday. He allowed four runs on five hits and four walks. He struck out four.

Williams recorded his shortest start Friday since he lasted just 1.1 innings against the Angels on Aug. 25. The right-hander had trouble against Carter Jensen, giving up three RBI to the catcher, including a two-run homer in the second. Assuming this is his final start this season, Williams has posted a 14-8 record, 3.76 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 248:61 K:BB in 184.1 innings.

Pages went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Pages showed power and speed in this low-scoring contest. He's now gone 5-for-12 with two extra-base hits and two walks over four games since he returned from a fractured hand. The outfielder is batting .275 with an .808 OPS, 22 homers, 81 RBI, 74 runs scored, 26 doubles, two triples and 13 steals across 132 contests this season.

Scott struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Scott has locked in late in the campaign, pitching four consecutive scoreless innings with two saves and a hold over his last four appearances. The left-hander will likely enter the postseason as the Dodgers' closer after filling that role over multiple stints this season while Edwin Diaz battled injuries and ineffective pitching. Scott has earned 24 saves, 13 holds and four blown saves while pitching to a 2.73 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 80:15 K:BB through 62.2 innings.

Skubal (12-7) pitched seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits and striking out 10 without walking a batter to earn the win over the Giants on Friday.

Skubal struggled against the Giants last week, but he bounced right back in his last start of the regular season. He likely could have kept going -- he exited at 75 pitches (60 strikes), but the Dodgers have no need to take unnecessary risks on the eve of the postseason. Skubal ends the regular season with a 2.72 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 186:27 K:BB over 158.2 innings across 26 starts between the Dodgers and the Tigers. He'll likely make a start during the NLDS on more than one week of rest.

Marte (0-2) allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Dodgers.

Marte allowed solo home runs to Teoscar Hernandez and Andy Pages in the second inning. Aside from those blasts, it was a decent performance for Marte in his last outing of the campaign, but the Giants mustered just three hits all game. Marte ends 2026 with a 4.44 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB across 24.1 innings over five games (three starts) in the majors, as well as a 3.92 ERA in 64.1 innings for Double-A Richmond. Don't be surprised if the Giants have Marte stay away from the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League by putting him back in Double-A if he misses out on the Opening Day roster next year.

Antonacci went 3-for-4 with a run scored during Friday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.

Antonacci recorded his third multi-hit game in his last four games Friday against Colorado. The 23-year-old came around to score on an RBI single by Munetaka Murakami in the eighth inning. This season, Antonaaci is slashing .275/.368/.393 with eight homers, 48 RBI and 43 walks in 549 plate appearances.

Murakami went 3-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and a strikeout during Friday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.

Murakami connected for his first multi-homer game since July 26 on Friday against Colorado. The Japanese first baseman took Tomoyuki Sugano deep in the first and seventh innings. The 26-year-old extended his on-base streak to 13 games after reaching base three times. This year, Murakami is batting .209/.351/.483 with 35 homers and 77 RBI in 544 plate appearances.

Burke (11-7) earned the win after allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Rockies on Friday. He struck out seven.

Burke recorded his third consecutive win and his fourth victory in his last five starts Friday against Colorado. The right-hander gave up only one mistake, allowing a solo shot by TJ Rumfield in the second inning. Assuming this is his last appearance of the season, the 26-year-old posted a 3.34 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 185:62 K:BB in 172.1 innings.

Rumfield went 2-for-4 with a solo homer during Friday's 6-1 loss to the White Sox.

Rumfield clubbed his first long ball since Sept. 4 against the Cardinals. The 26-year-old drove in Colorado's lone run of the night with a solo shot off Sean Burke in the second inning. This year, Rumfield is slashing .299/.389/.452 with 16 homers and 72 RBI in 630 plate appearances.
