Manager Mark Kotsay said after Saturday's game against the Mariners that Jump has a shoulder impingement and will be re-evaluated Sunday, Theo DeRosa of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander felt some tightness while throwing in the bullpen prior to Saturday's start, but he pitched through it and was dealt his 11th loss of the campaign after giving up five runs across two innings. The A's figure to be cautious with Jump down the stretch as his rookie campaign nears the finish line.

McGonigle went 2-for-5 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

McGonigle is batting only .244 across 10 contests this month, though he's gone deep three times in his last five games. Overall, the rookie infielder is batting .272 with 17 home runs, and the fact that his power is beginning to emerge at the MLB level is a promising sign going forward. McGonigle profiles as someone who can maintain a strong batting average throughout his career, and it's starting to look like he could be a perennial threat to tally 20 homers as well.

Valencia went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

Valencia isn't seeing everyday playing time as the backup to Dillon Dingler behind the plate, but he's performing well when given the opportunity. The 26-year-old rookie is slashing .320/.340/.598 with six home runs and 18 RBI across 97 at-bats so far this season. It will be interesting to see what Valencia's role will be in 2027, as it appears he can hit at the MLB level, but the 27-year-old Dingler also looks to be part of Detroit's long-term plans.

Sogard started at first base and went 2-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over Kansas City. He was also hit by a pitch and caught stealing.

Sogard, who made a fourth consecutive start at first base, got involved offensively late in the game. He doubled and scored in the seventh inning and then knocked in Boston's final run with an eighth-inning double. Sogard and Mickey Gasper have been filling in for the injured Willson Contreras (hamstring) at first base.

Clark went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

A day after launching a home run against Colorado, Clark kept rolling with his third three-hit performance of the month. In September, the dynamic rookie is slashing .382/.500/.588 with a home run, three stolen bases, five RBI and eight runs scored across 10 games. Clark is trending up as he wraps up his first MLB campaign, and he figures to carry plenty of momentum into 2027.

Pederson had X-rays on his hand come back negative after being hit by a pitch during Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The 34-year-old initially remained in to run the bases after the hit-by-pitch but was eventually replaced by a pinch hitter. The results of the initial X-rays are encouraging, but Pederson is still scheduled to undergo further testing to determine the full extent of the injury. The slugger wasn't likely to be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale regardless of the injury since lefty Eduardo Rodriguez is taking the mound for Arizona.

Brieske (1-0) allowed a run in 1.2 innings of relief but managed to earn the win in Saturday's 11-7 victory over the Rockies. He struck out two.

Brieske served up a solo home run to Ezequiel Tovar but otherwise pitched well to earn just his second win since the beginning of 2025. The righty reliever was called up Sept. 1 after last pitching in the majors in July. Brieske looks like a low-leverage relief option the rest of the way for the Tigers, which limits his fantasy upside.

Seigler was removed from Saturday's game after experiencing pain in his right wrist following a swing, MLB.com reports. He hurt the wrist in the fourth inning and was eventually removed in the seventh.

Seigler, who was called up to Boston on Friday as a replacement for Eli White (foot), started at second base before departing. He was replaced by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Seigler underwent further testing and evaluation following the game.

Eovaldi allowed one run on four hits while striking out two over 2.2 innings of relief in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Eovaldi was needed for multiple innings in a game where starter Kumar Rocker was lifted after four-plus innings. The former opted to rejoin the Rangers following a stint on the injured list without a rehab assignment and is expected to serve as a multi-inning reliever. The live batting-practice sessions he threw while rehabbing lasted two innings apiece.

Duran went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over Arizona.

Duran snapped an 0-for-19 skid with a two-run single during the Rangers' six-run fifth inning. The two RBI raised his season total to 80, which ranks second on the team behind Jake Burger's 83.
