Jones allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out seven during a win over the Yankees.

Jones worked around a couple of jams through four shutout frames but was charged with two runs after leaving the game with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. It was his third straight start with five or fewer innings pitched after beginning the month with a pair of quality starts. Jones made just six starts after the All-Star break due to a lat strain. He posted a 5.87 ERA during that stretch. Jones' rookie year was mostly considered a success otherwise, as he finished with a 4.14 ERA and a 132:39 K:BB through 121.2 innings.

Rodon allowed two runs on four hits and four walks over 5.1 innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out five during the loss to Pittsburgh.

Rodon worked through five scoreless frames before coughing up back-to-back solo homers to Nick Gonzales and Bryan Reynolds in the sixth inning. It was just the third time that Rodon walked four or more batters out of his 32 starts this season. On the bright side, he forced 17 whiffs, including eight with his fastball. Rodon threw at least five innings in each of his last seven starts, posting a 2.68 ERA during that span. He ends the 2024 regular season with a 3.96 ERA and a 195:57 K:BB through 175 frames.

Mikolas (10-11) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Giants on Friday.

Mikolas had a bumpy season at best, but he ended the year allowing a modest six runs over his last 16 innings, earning two wins with a 12:1 K:BB over that three-start span. He was able to contain the damage to the second inning Friday, and the Cardinals took the lead for good in the fourth. This is the third time in his career Mikolas has reached the 10-win mark, but he did it with a 5.35 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 122:25 K:BB over just 171.2 innings in 32 starts this year.

Sears (11-13) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings to take the loss Friday versus the Mariners.

Sears ended the season with four losses in his last five starts, allowing 17 runs across 29 innings in September. He recorded 13 quality starts in 32 outings this season, including six quality starts since the beginning of August. Sears concludes the campaign with a 4.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 137:49 K:BB across a career-high 180.2 innings as the Athletics' top starting pitcher.

Woo (9-3) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out eight over five shutout innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Friday.

Woo kept a scoreless line for the first time since Aug. 14 in his final start of the season. The 24-year-old had seven scoreless starts in 22 outings this season, establishing himself as a high-end starter with an emphasis on elite control in his second major-league campaign. He ends the year with a 2.89 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 101:13 K:BB over 121.1 innings.

Kelly (5-1) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out eight over 5.2 innings Friday, taking the loss versus the Padres.

Kelly left his last start due to a right calf cramp, but it wasn't a lasting issue for the right-hander. He was shaky in the first inning Friday, allowing four of the five runs and four of the eight hits on his line as the Padres jumped ono him early. He also gave up an RBI triple to Luis Arraez in the fourth. Kelly wraps up an injury-plagued regular season with a 4.03 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 63:19 K:BB over 73.2 innings across 13 starts, missing nearly four months with a shoulder injury.

Darvish (7-3) allowed three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Darvish allowed 10 runs over 25.1 innings in September after returning from a lengthy absence due to elbow inflammation, but he won three of his five starts in that span. The right-hander concludes the regular season with a 3.31 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 78:22 K:BB over 81.2 innings across 16 starts.

Montas did not factor into the decision in Friday's 8-4 win against the Mets, pitching four innings while allowing two runs on two hits and three walks. He struck out six.

The veteran right-hander was pulled after 82 pitches as Milwaukee looks to keep its starting rotation fresh for the playoffs. The Mets managed to score both their runs in the fourth inning via a two-run homer by Mark Vientos. This marks the third time Montas has not managed to reach the fifth frame since joining the Brewers on July 30 while making 11 starts with his new club. Overall, the 31-year-old owns a 4.55 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB across 57.1 innings with Milwaukee.

Manaea (12-6) took the loss Friday against the Brewers, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out just one.

The 32-year-old's run of brilliance came to an end, as he had pitched to a 2.91 ERA over 65 innings across his previous 10 starts. This marks the first time Manaea has allowed five or more earned runs since his first start of the second half against Miami on July 19. Things unraveled quickly for the Mets southpaw, as Rhys Hoskins launched a grand slam to left field in the opening frame. Manaea concludes a solid regular season, pitching to a 3.47 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 184:63 K:BB across 181.2 innings. He likely will enter free agency this offseason as the two-year deal he signed with the Mets this past January includes an opt-out clause.

Fried (11-10) earned the win Friday versus Kansas City, completing 8.2 scoreless innings while allowing three hits and two walks. He struck out nine.

The Atlanta southpaw fell one out short of his third complete game and second shutout of 2024, as he picked up his 16th quality start. No one in the Royals lineup could square up Fried except for Michael Massey, who collected his team's only extra-base hits with two doubles. Fried has carried Atlanta down the stretch, completing six or more innings in each of his last six starts while delivering a 2.43 ERA over 40.2 innings. The 30-year-old wraps up his eighth MLB season with a 3.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 166:57 K:BB across 174.1 innings, setting him up very nicely for free agency this offseason.
