Langford went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

This was just his second multi-hit effort in September. Langford has gone 7-for-39 (.179) over 11 games this month, though he has five extra-base hits in that stretch. For the season, the outfielder is batting .244 with a .775 OPS, 17 homers, 39 RBI, 58 runs scored, 19 doubles, two triples and 13 stolen bases over 97 contests.

Rocker allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out five over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Rocker threw 46 of 65 pitches for strikes in this contest. His pitch count has come down in each of his last three outings, which could be a signal that the Rangers are managing his innings down the stretch. Rocker's performance hasn't been that impressive lately -- he's allowed 25 runs (24 earned) over 36 innings over eight outings since the beginning of August. On the year, he's at a 4.54 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 132:57 K:BB through 138.2 innings over 28 games (25 starts). Rocker is lined up for a home matchup versus the Blue Jays in his next outing.

Grichuk went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.

Grichuk tagged Riley O'Brien for a two-run blast in the ninth inning, which ultimately won the game for the White Sox. Over his last six games, Grichuk has gone 9-for-17 with two homers and four RBI. The veteran outfielder is batting .286 with an .883 OPS, 13 homers, 38 RBI, 34 runs scored, 23 doubles and one triple over 105 contests this season between the White Sox and the Yankees.

Hudson struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.

The White Sox took the lead in the top of the ninth inning, and Hudson made it stand with his clean frame. He's on a 10-inning scoreless streak, posting a 7:0 K:BB in that span while adding two holds and three saves. Hudson and Grant Taylor appear to be sharing the closing duties for the White Sox, though Taylor worked in the seventh and eighth innings of this game. Hudson has pitched to a 2.87 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 58:17 K:BB through 62.2 innings this year while adding eight saves, nine holds and three blown saves.

Castillo allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings of relief in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Saturday.

Castillo handled the largest workload for the White Sox in this game, but it amounted to a bullpen game in the end. Castillo has allowed at least three runs in each of his last five appearances, giving up 21 runs (20 earned) over 18 innings in that span. He's at a 5.67 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 111:43 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 27 games (23 starts) this season. It's not yet clear if he'll start or work out of the bullpen in his next outing, which is projected to be at home versus the Tigers.

Joyce was charged with his second blown save of the season in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Nationals, allowing one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

The Angels staged a late rally to take a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth inning, but Joyce couldn't close the door in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander is 4-for-6 in converting save chances since taking over the closer role in mid-August, and over 10 appearances since he's posted a 4.82 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB in 9.1 innings.

Urena didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5, extra-inning loss to the Nationals, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

All the damage off Urena came in the first two innings, but the right-hander settled in after that and was taken off the hook for a loss when the Angels staged a late rally from a 4-0 deficit. It's the first time since Aug. 8 that Urena's been tagged for more than three runs, and over his first 137.1 big-league innings he's produced a 2.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 131:67 K:BB. He'll look for his 10th win of the season in his next outing, which is set to come at home next week against the Twins.

Baker threw 1.1 scoreless innings for the save Saturday against the Astros, allowing one hit and no walks. He struck out one.

Baker recorded more than three outs Saturday for just the second time this season. The All-Star closer continues to be dominant, giving up only three earned runs in 27 appearances since the start of July. He has a 1.54 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 62:21 K:BB with a major-league-leading 40 saves (43 opportunities) over 58.1 innings in 2026.

Seymour didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Astros, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out 10.

Seymour flooded the zone Saturday, pouring in 58 of his 79 pitches for strikes in a strong start. The southpaw tends to get hurt by the long ball, as he's served up at least one home run in seven of his last eight outings, but he's fanned at least seven on six occasions during that span. He'll bring a 4.27 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 150:34 K:BB over 122.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the division-rival Red Sox.

Moncada (knee) isn't expected to play again this season, MLB.com reports.

Moncada underwent right knee surgery in early June. He's been rehabbing at his home in Florida but isn't close to a return to game action. In the likely event that Moncada's campaign is indeed over, he'll finish with a .189/.308/.297 slash line, three homers, nine runs, 10 RBI and one stolen base over 41 games.
