Allen (8-11) picked up the win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Twins, allowing four hits and a walk over eight scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

After Slade Cecconi delivered seven scoreless frames in the matinee, Allen did him one better in the nightcap, producing 32 called or swinging strikes among his 102 pitches (64 total strikes) as he came within shouting distance of his first career shutout. The left-hander had his previous turn in the rotation skipped -- he's already thrown a career-high 152.1 innings in 2025, and he'd worked more than five innings only once in seven starts since the beginning of August prior to Saturday -- and the move paid off for Cleveland as they try to chase down Detroit in the AL Central. It's not clear if Allen will make another start in the regular season however, despite a 2.00 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB through 18 innings in September.

Cecconi (7-6) picked up the win in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Twins, scattering two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out eight.

A Luke Keaschall double in the second inning represented the only Minnesota runner to get into scoring position against Cecconi, who racked up 33 called or swinging strikes among 98 pitches (60 total strikes) in arguably his best start in the majors to date. Over his last three outings, the right-hander has a 0.87 ERA, 0.53 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB through 20.2 innings as he wraps up 2025 on a roll and boosts the Guardians' remarkable late playoff push. Cecconi will try to carry that momentum into his final start of the year, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rangers.

Lopez (forearm) recently underwent an MRI that showed no concerns with his elbow or his ulnar collateral ligament, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Lopez was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a mild right forearm strain. He won't pitch again this season, but it sounds like this injury won't be a major concern for his status for the 2026 season.

Gomez (3-3) was charged with the loss Saturday against the Padres, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

Gomez worked at least five innings for the fifth straight outing, but he's still without a quality start in 2025. The swingman has a 4.92 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 53:27 K:BB across 56.2 innings (eight starts), leaving his fantasy value quite limited outside of the most favorable matchups. Gomez is scheduled to get one more chance to leave an impression in the Chicago rotation ahead of 2026 next weekend against the Nationals.

Darvish didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

It was a rather disappointing that Darvish wasn't able to work deeper into the game, and he's now failed to pitch at least six innings in five consecutive starts. The veteran right-hander was removed from the outing after throwing only 78 pitches, but it's possible the Padres are being cautious about his workload with the postseason on the horizon. Darvish's 5.51 ERA is set to be a career worst, though he does have a strong 1.15 WHIP and 64:17 K:BB across 67 frames. His final appearance of the regular season is slated for next weekend against Arizona.

Houser didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out two.

Houser may not have been dominant, but he did just enough to hold the Red Sox in check and log his second straight quality start. The right-hander's effectiveness has taken a hit since he joined the Rays, as he has a 4.65 ERA over 50.1 innings for Tampa Bay, but it's still been a fine campaign as a whole. Across 119 frames, Houser has a 3.18 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 87:36 K:BB. He's set to wrap up the year next weekend in Toronto.

Harrison didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Rays, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.

Saturday was Harrison's first start with the Red Sox since being acquired from San Francisco as part of the Rafael Devers trade, and it couldn't have gone much better. It was the southpaw's first quality start of the season, and he also generated 11 swinging strikes. Harrison has been effective when healthy in 2025, posting a 3.58 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 32:11 K:BB over 32.2 innings, and Boston figures to give him one more look in its rotation during the regular season next weekend against Detroit.

Mazur didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Rangers, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out two.

Mazur delivered a decent outing, giving up no extra-base hits, but he was lifted after throwing just 63 pitches. The right-hander has been shaky overall in 2025, posting just one quality start through his six outings. With a 4.80 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB across 30 innings, Mazur will be tough to recommend as a streaming option in the vast majority of fantasy leagues against a formidable Mets lineup next weekend.

Leiter (9-10) was charged with the loss Saturday against the Marlins, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

The eight hits allowed tied a season high for Leiter, who permitted greater than three runs for the first time since his June 17 start against the Royals. The right-hander has still emerged as a reliable member of Texas' rotation for the most part in 2025, throwing at least five innings in 19 of his 28 outings. Leiter's final appearance of the year is set to come next weekend in Cleveland, one into which he'll carry a 3.92 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 138:66 K:BB over 144.2 frames.

Teng allowed two runs on a hit and two walks while striking out six over three innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

Teng threw just 39 of 74 pitches for strikes but was able to limit the damage to a two-run home run by Max Muncy in the first inning. The Giants look to be limiting Teng's workload -- he's reached the five-inning mark in just two of his eight major-league appearances this season. He's at a 6.37 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 39:17 K:BB through 29.2 innings with the big club. Teng could get one more appearance this season, which is tentatively projected to be at home versus the Rockies in the final series of the year.
