Scherzer allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Saturday.

Scherzer labored in the first inning, giving up two runs and allowing the first three batters he faced to reach base. The veteran hurler bounced back impressively thereafter, keeping the Orioles off the scoreboard for the remainder of his outing. Overall, Scherzer tossed 64 of 91 pitches for strikes and got 14 whiffs en route to five punchouts. This was the first time he's been able to complete five innings in his past three starts and the first time he's allowed fewer than four runs across his past four outings. Scherzer lines up for a road matchup in Tampa Bay his next time out.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored during Houston's 6-2 win over Atlanta on Saturday.

Diaz gave the Astros a four-run lead in the third inning, when he grounded into a fielder's choice that brought Carlos Correa home. Saturday marked Diaz's eighth three-hit game of the season, two of which have come over his last four contests. He has gone 13-for-40 (.325) with five doubles, five runs scored, one home run and nine RBI in 11 games since Sept. 1.

Walker went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored during Houston's 6-2 win over Atlanta on Saturday.

Walker extended the Astros' lead to 6-0 in the third inning with a two-run shot off Bryce Elder. It was Walker's 23rd homer of the season, which is three shy from his 2024 total. He has gone 12-for-46 (.261) with one steal, two home runs, six RBI and eight runs scored in 12 games since the start of September.

Brown (12-7) earned the win against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two across 6.2 innings.

Brown started out strongly by retiring nine of the first 10 batters he faced and was supplied a six-run cushion by his offense. He punched out a season-low two batter but came away with his seventh quality start in eight games, and his 20 quality starts this season is tied for second most in the majors behind Cristopher Sanchez (21). Brown also ranks third among qualified starters with a 2.27 ERA (across 174.1 innings), and his 192 strikeouts are tied with Sanchez for eighth most. Brown is lined up to face the Mariners at home next weekend.

Fortes went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a double Saturday in a 5-4 win against the Cubs.

Hunter Feduccia got the start at catcher for Tampa Bay, but Fortes pinch hit for him in the seventh inning and got on base with a double. Fortes then stepped up in a huge way in the ninth, mashing a 421-foot solo shot to provide what ended up being the game-winning run. Fortes has five homers through 209 plate appearances this season, so he's not typically looked to for power.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Toronto.

Henderson is still mired in quite the cold spell so far in September, batting .143 (5-for-35) with a lone RBI in his first 10 games of the month. The star shortstop has taken a step back this season following an outstanding 2024 regular season, when posted a career-best .893 OPS over 159 outings, but he still has a realistic shot at recording his second straight 20-homer, 20-steal campaign. Henderson is hitting .270 with 16 long balls, 62 RBI, 81 runs scored and 23 pilfers across 525 at-bats.

Caminero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 5-4 victory versus the Cubs.

Caminero came up big in the eighth inning, blasting a 423-foot solo shot to center field to tie the score 4-4. The homer was his fourth through 12 contests in September and his 43rd overall this season. Among AL hitters, only Cal Raleigh (53) and Aaron Judge (47) have gone deep more than Caminero.

Garcia picked up a hold Saturday against Toronto, striking out one while allowing one hit and one walk in a scoreless inning.

The hold was the seventh of the season for Garcia, who's proven to be a serviceable bullpen arm since joining the Orioles. Through 13.1 innings for Baltimore, the journeyman right-hander owns a 2.70 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB. Garcia should continue to handle middle-relief work and occasional high-leverage situations for the O's to close out the campaign.

Perez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Phillies.

The future Hall of Famer helped give the Royals an early 4-2 lead by taking Taijuan Walker deep twice in the first three innings. It was Perez's fourth multi-homer performance of the year, and the second blast not only gave him 27 home runs on the season, it lifted him to 300 HR for his career, as well as 1,000 career RBI. The 35-year-old Perez has been fading overall in September, however, batting just .178 (8-for-45) through 12 games this month with a 0:9 BB:K, although six of those eight hits (two doubles and four homers) have gone for extra bases.

Bergert didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Phillies, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.

It's the third straight start in which Bergert issued three free passes, and his loss of control has left him with an 8.76 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB in 12.1 innings during the skid. The Royals could get one or more of Michael Wacha (concussion), Seth Lugo (back) and Cole Ragans (shoulder) back from the IL in the next week or two, so Bergert's hold on a rotation spot may be slipping. For the moment, he's scheduled to make his next start at home next weekend against the Blue Jays.
