Walbert Urena SP | LAA
Angels' Walbert Urena: Fans seven in no-decision Saturday
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 to for his 10th win of the season in his next outing, which is set to come at home next week against the Twins.

Bryan Baker RP | TB
Rays' Bryan Baker: Picks up MLB-high 40th save
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.

Ian Seymour RP | TB
Rays' Ian Seymour: Fans 10 in six strong innings
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.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Likely out for rest of 2026
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.

Peter Lambert SP | HOU
Astros' Peter Lambert: Quality start in ninth loss
Lambert (8-9) took the loss Saturday against the Rays, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks in six-plus innings. He struck out four.
Lambert pounded the zone Saturday, throwing 62 of his 85 pitches for strikes before being chased in the seventh inning following a Liam Hicks double. The right-hander has now posted consecutive quality starts, and he's also given up three runs or fewer in 12 of his last 13 outings. He'll take a solid 3.71 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 141:56 K:BB over 145.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Atlanta.

Gustavo Campero LF | LAA
Angels' Gustavo Campero: Likely to miss rest of season
Campero (hamstring) isn't expected to play again this season, MLB.com reports.
Campero suffered a right hamstring strain in late August and subsequently landed on the IL. He's spent most of 2026 in the minors, compiling a .313/.389/.914 slash line with 13 homers, 61 runs, 54 RBI and 12 stolen bases over 69 games across three levels. If Campero's season is indeed over, he'll end up having gone 4-for-11 with one double and two RBI over four contests with the Angels.

Connor Prielipp SP | MIN
Twins' Connor Prielipp: Earns win in return to rotation
Prielipp (5-7) earned the win against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with one strikeout over 5.1 innings.
Prielipp benefited from a four-run third inning from the Twins' offense, and he filled the strike zone with 57 of 77 pitches despite generating only five whiffs. The 25-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in four straight outings, with his two prior appearances coming in bulk relief. He owns a 5.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 117:40 K:BB across 113.1 innings in his rookie campaign and lines up to face the Angels next weekend, though it's unclear in what role that may be.

Alejandro Kirk C | TOR
Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Swats homer No. 10
Kirk went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Orioles.
The backstop collected an RBI single in the first inning before taking Kyle Bradish deep for a two-run homer in the third. Kirk is up to 10 homers on the season, and five of them have come in his last 20 games -- a stretch in which he's batting .288 (23-for-80) with 17 RBI as the Jays make a push for a wild-card spot.

Joey Cantillo SP | CLE
Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Strikes out eight in bulk relief
Cantillo did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Twins, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out eight over four scoreless innings.
Cantillo entered in the third inning and dominated, throwing 37 of 56 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. It marked the first time the 26-year-old pitched in relief all year, and it was also his first scoreless outing since another four-inning effort July 29. He owns a 3.89 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 162:78 K:BB across 148 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Athletics next weekend should he return to the rotation.

Spencer Arrighetti RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Spencer Arrighetti: Nabs win in relief Saturday
Arrighetti (8-9) picked up the win in Saturday's 7-3 victory over the Orioles, allowing one unearned run on two hits and two walks over 2.2 innings of relief. He struck out two.
The right-hander was the third of seven Toronto pitchers to take the mound on a bullpen day, and Arrighetti got credited with the win in a game his team never trailed in. It was his first victory in a Blue Jays uniform, and over five appearances (two starts) since being acquired at the trade deadline from the Astros, he's produced a 6.87 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB in 18.1 innings. Arrighetti will continue being plugged in as necessary to help cover a couple holes in the rotation, but after throwing 50 pitches (26 strikes) on Saturday, it doesn't seem like he's viewed as a real candidate to make a traditional start.
