Trevor Rogers SP | BAL
Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Early hook in no-decision
Rogers did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-2 win over the Yankees, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with four strikeouts over four innings.
Rogers allowed a run in the fourth inning but was solid overall, filling the zone with 41 of 55 pitches while generating 11 whiffs in his final start of the campaign. The 28-year-old finished the year strong, posting a 2.53 ERA with a stellar 36:2 K:BB over five September outings. He'll finish the season 10-11 with a 4.03 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 157:39 K:BB across a career-high 169.2 innings and will test free agency this offseason.

Cesar Perdomo SP | SF
Giants' Cesar Perdomo: Sent down to minors
The Giants optioned Perdomo to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Perdomo wasn't lined up to make another start this season after throwing 5.1 innings against the Twins on Wednesday, so the Giants will remove him from their active roster to make room for Camilo Doval, who was claimed off waivers Thursday. Perdomo will conclude 2026 with a 3.65 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through 24.2 innings in the majors and could have a chance to open the 2027 campaign in the Giants' rotation.

Fernando Cruz RP | NYY
Yankees' Fernando Cruz: Moved to 60-day IL
The Yankees transferred Cruz (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
The move corresponds with Alexander Cornielle being promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles. There's a chance Cruz returns to action if the Yankees make it to the World Series, though it's more likely that the right-hander is shelved for the rest of the 2026 season due to a partial UCL tear in his right elbow.

Brendan Beck SP | NYY
Yankees' Brendan Beck: Sent back down
The Yankees optioned Beck after the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Beck took the loss in the matinee, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over five innings. While Beck put up impressive numbers at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, posting a 2.93 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 151:40 K:BB in 135.1 innings, that success has yet to translate to the highest level (9.95 ERA in four appearances).

Wikelman Gonzalez SP | MIA
Marlins' Wikelman Gonzalez: Up from Jacksonville
The Marlins recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.
With Tyler Zuber (elbow) landing on the injured list Friday, Gonzalez will come up from the minors to help Miami's bullpen get through the team's final series of the season. The 24-year-old hasn't appeared in an MLB game this year and carries a 5.94 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 36.1 innings at Triple-A, so he'll almost certainly be reserved for low-leverage work.
-
Will Warren SP | NYY
Yankees' Will Warren: Not starting in Game 2 of twin bill
Warren will not start in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Instead, the Yankees will deploy Ryan Yarbrough as the opener for the second game of Friday's twin bill, with Warren expected to follow the former. In 12 games since the All-Star break, Warren has a 4.00 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 54 innings.
-
Tyler Zuber RP | MIA
Marlins' Tyler Zuber: Lands on IL
The Marlins placed Zuber on the 15-day injured list Friday with a sprained right elbow.
Zuber made his last appearance Tuesday, pitching a scoreless inning against the Cubs, and he'll now be shut down for the season because of his elbow injury. He'll finish 2026 with a 5.67 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 39.2 innings. Wikelman Gonzalez was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Cal Raleigh C | SEA
Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Out of lineup Friday
Raleigh is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.
Jhonny Pereda will step in behind the plate to catch for starter Bryce Miller, as Raleigh sits amid an 0-for-12 stretch. Raleigh is wrapping up one of the most disappointing follow-ups to an MVP-caliber season in recent memory, as he's slashing just .179/.294/.369 across 520 plate appearances in 2026.

Bo Davidson RF | SF
Giants' Bo Davidson: In Friday's lineup
Davidson (foot) will start in right field and bat fourth Friday against the Dodgers, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Davidson was pulled from Wednesday's game early after fouling a ball off his foot, but he appears to be feeling well enough to play after getting an extra day off Thursday. The 24-year-old outfielder has collected a base hit in each of his first three MLB games while adding two runs and a steal, but it may be harder for him to find success Friday against formidable lefty Tarik Skubal.
