Neto went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-4 win over Boston.

Fresh off ripping four hits in Tuesday's victory over the Red Sox, Neto struck again at Fenway Park on Wednesday. That makes it back-to-back games with a homer for the slugging shortstop, who already has four multi-hit efforts in eight September games thus far. Through 630 trips to the plate, Neto is slashing .244/.324/.443 with 25 long balls, 72 RBI, 19 stolen bases and 91 runs scored.

Joyce earned the save against Boston on Wednesday, allowing a run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

The hard-throwing right-hander wasn't sharp, tossing only 13 of his 22 pitches for strikes, but he held on for the save Wednesday. With Jordan Romano in Colorado and Kirby Yates in Pittsburgh, Joyce should continue to be viewed as the favorite for saves in the Angels' bullpen from here on out. He has a 3.18 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB with four saves (five chances) over 11.1 innings so far this year.

Johnson (4-8) notched the win against the Red Sox on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out five.

Johnson overcame a pair of home runs to log a quality start Wednesday. The 24-year-old right-hander is building a compelling case to be part of the Angels' future pitching plans -- he's posted either a quality start or given up two runs or fewer in all seven of his starts since being recalled from the minor leagues in early August. He'll look to further improve a 5.12 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 63:39 K:BB over 84.1 innings this year in his next scheduled outing versus the Mariners.

Bennett (9-7) took the loss against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

Bennett was stung by the long ball Wednesday, serving up a trio of home runs. The left-hander registered his fewest punchouts since May 7 versus the Rays, and he also saw a streak of three quality starts come to an end. Bennett has conceded five big flies in his first two starts of September, which is a bit of a concern after he surrendered just two over five outings in August. He still has a quality 3.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 83:19 K:BB over 105 innings.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 11-7 loss to Philadelphia.

Paredes is off to a quick start in September, hitting safely in all but one of his first eight games for the month. The third baseman has a pair of three-RBI efforts in his past four outings as well, recording at least one RBI in five of his last eight contests. Through 591 plate appearances, Paredes is slashing a healthy .260/.360/.427 with 19 homers, 25 doubles, 82 RBI and 59 runs scored.

Brown took a no-decision against the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out seven.

After Houston scored four runs in the third inning, the Phillies responded with four runs of their own against Brown in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander gave up his most runs since July 4 versus Tampa Bay, also breaking up a four-start streak with at least five innings and two runs or fewer allowed. He'll try to bounce back when he brings a 3.52 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 100:46 K:BB over 92 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Royals.

Lombard went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 6-1 win over Colorado.

Lombard blasted his first career grand slam Wednesday as well as the first of the season for New York. The 21-year-old shortstop also became the youngest Yankee with a grand slam since Mickey Mantle way back in 1952, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Through 96 major-league at-bats, Lombard is hitting .240 with three homers, 11 RBI, one stolen base and 14 runs scored.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during the Guardians' 9-5 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

Lowe reduced the Guardians' deficit to four runs with a two-run long ball off Shane Baz in the sixth inning, the second home run that the Guardians hit Wednesday. Lowe has gone deep in two of his last three outings and is up to 17 home runs on the year, and he's one home run shy from matching his regular-season total in 2025. Since being acquired by the Guardians from the Reds in early August, Lowe has a .699 OPS with five home runs and 21 RBI over 117 plate appearances.

DeLauter went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during the Guardians' 9-5 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

DeLauter was cleared to return to the lineup Wednesday after missing the four previous games due to a right wrist sprain. The rest paid off for the 24-year-old outfielder, who put the Guardians up early with a two-run homer off Shane Baz in the first inning. It was DeLauter's 14th home run of the season, and he has four multi-hit games over his last seven outings, going 12-for-27 with one steal, three RBI and seven extra-base hits in that span.

Warren (10-6) earned the win against Colorado on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out eight.

Granted a favorable home matchup against the lowly Rockies, Warren capitalized on the opportunity with an excellent start and his most strikeouts since June 20 versus the Reds. The right-hander has been very effective for both the Yankees and fantasy managers alike lately, giving up two earned runs or fewer in five consecutive outings. He'll carry a season 4.05 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 141:49 K:BB over 142.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Minnesota.
