Martinez went 2-for-5 with a two-run double, a two run-single and a walk during Friday's 12-9 win over the Royals.

Martinez posted his second four-RBI effort in his last six games. The 24-year-old started the scoring with a two-run single in the first and later added a two-run double in the ninth to extend the lead. Over his last 15 games, the switch hitter has slashed .339/.362/.696 with four homers and 12 RBI in 58 plate appearances.

Detmers (7-8) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Friday.

Detmers struggled in his previous start, but he ends the year in a positive note. The southpaw allowed just eight runs over 30 innings across five starts in September, winning three of them while adding a 37:4 K:BB. Overall, he posted a 3.36 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 211:48 K:BB over 185 innings across 32 starts in 2026, just one year after serving as a full-time reliever. Detmers could attract significant offseason trade interest after his career year.

Hedges went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs and a walk during Friday's 12-9 win over the Royals.

Hedges launched his first long ball since Aug. 24 on Friday. The 34-year-old took Noah Cameron deep in the second inning to extend the lead. The catcher extended his on-base streak to eight games. This year, Hedges is batting .249/.328/.380 with six homers and 25 RBI in 245 plate appearances.

Fry went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer during Friday's 12-9 win over the Royals.

Fry extended his modest hitting streak to four games after blasting his eighth homer of the season Friday. The 30-year-old launched a two-run homer in the fifth inning off Noah Cameron to give Cleveland a narrow lead. This year, Fry is batting .194/.310/.361 with eight homers and 20 RBI in 210 plate appearances.

Gaddis (6-3) earned the win after allowing two runs on three hits over one inning against the Royals on Friday.

Gaddis came on in relief in the eighth inning and allowed the game-tying two-run homer to Carter Jensen. Despite blowing his sixth save of the campaign in the eighth, Gaddis recorded the win after the Guardians stacked together five runs in the top of the ninth inning. This year, the 28-year-old sports a 2.98 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 57:22 K:BB in 60.1 innings.

Williams did not factor into decision in the Guardians' 12-9 win over the Royals on Friday. He allowed four runs on five hits and four walks. He struck out four.

Williams recorded his shortest start Friday since he lasted just 1.1 innings against the Angels on Aug. 25. The right-hander had trouble against Carter Jensen, giving up three RBI to the catcher, including a two-run homer in the second. Assuming this is his final start this season, Williams has posted a 14-8 record, 3.76 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 248:61 K:BB in 184.1 innings.

Antonacci went 3-for-4 with a run scored during Friday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.

Antonacci recorded his third multi-hit game in his last four games Friday against Colorado. The 23-year-old came around to score on an RBI single by Munetaka Murakami in the eighth inning. This season, Antonaaci is slashing .275/.368/.393 with eight homers, 48 RBI and 43 walks in 549 plate appearances.

Murakami went 3-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and a strikeout during Friday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.

Murakami connected for his first multi-homer game since July 26 on Friday against Colorado. The Japanese first baseman took Tomoyuki Sugano deep in the first and seventh innings. The 26-year-old extended his on-base streak to 13 games after reaching base three times. This year, Murakami is batting .209/.351/.483 with 35 homers and 77 RBI in 544 plate appearances.

Burke (11-7) earned the win after allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Rockies on Friday. He struck out seven.

Burke recorded his third consecutive win and his fourth victory in his last five starts Friday against Colorado. The right-hander gave up only one mistake, allowing a solo shot by TJ Rumfield in the second inning. Assuming this is his last appearance of the season, the 26-year-old posted a 3.34 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 185:62 K:BB in 172.1 innings.

Eovaldi will start Saturday's game against the Twins.

Eovaldi will be making his first start since Aug. 7 during the Rangers' penultimate regular-season game as they continue to compete for a division title. The 36-year-old has made four appearances as a reliever since returning from an elbow injury Sept. 12, during which he's coughed up five earned runs in 8.2 innings while striking out four batters and walking one. He never threw more than 46 pitches in any of those outings, so although he'll be capable of handling multiple innings Saturday, he may struggle to pitch deep enough into the game to record a win.
