Victor Robles RF | SEA
Mariners' Victor Robles: Homer, steal in return
Robles went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Phillies.
Robles returned from a one-game absence due to a hip issue, and he produced his fourth multi-hit effort in his last five games. He also logged his eight steal in 13 contests, which is likely a good sign the hip injury is behind him, though he did previously play through it. The outfielder is up to three homers, 14 thefts, eight RBI, 15 runs scored and a .308/.387/.452 slash line across 122 plate appearances in 2024.

Justin Turner DH | CHC
Mariners' Justin Turner: Lifts grand slam
Turner went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's 10-2 win over the Phillies.
Turner put an exclamation mark on the Mariners' seven-run second inning, hitting his first homer with the team since he was traded from the Blue Jays. The 39-year-old has gone 5-for-14 with six RBI across his first three games with Seattle, and that's been enough for him to take over a starting role at first base, though he served as the designated hitter Friday. Turner is slashing .261/.351/.382 with seven homers, 37 RBI, 38 runs scored and no stolen bases across 93 contests this season.

Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Tosses seven scoreless innings
Woo (5-1) allowed five hits and struck out six without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Phillies.
It was the first time all year Woo has completed seven frames, and it was also his fifth scoreless outing in 12 starts. He also got ample run support from the Mariners, who swatted four homers and put up 10 runs in the win over the National League's top team. Woo lowered his ERA to 2.08 with a 0.87 WHIP and 43:6 K:BB through 60.2 innings this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Tigers.

Miguel Andujar DH | SD
Athletics' Miguel Andujar: Three hits in Friday's win
Andujar went 3-for-4 with a triple, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
Andujar put the Athletics ahead with an RBI triple in the fifth inning and scored on JJ Bleday's double. Since the All-Star break, Andujar has gone 19-for-54 (.351) with seven RBI over 13 contests. The outfielder is up to a .297/.325/.409 slash line with four home runs, 28 RBI, 27 runs scored and two stolen bases over 57 games this year. His triple Friday was his first since 2022.

Seth Brown LF | ATH
Athletics' Seth Brown: Slugs homer in win
Brown went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
Brown went 0-for-10 over his previous three games, but he was able to snap the slump with a fourth-inning blast Friday. The 32-year-old went 14-for-46 (.304) over 16 contests in July, but it was mostly in short bursts of production followed by slumps. For the season, he's sporting a .214/.274/.380 slash line with 10 homers, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and four stolen bases across 80 games.

Jose Urena SP | LAA
Rangers' Jose Urena: Roughed up in loss
Urena (3-6) took the loss Friday against the Red Sox, allowing seven runs on eight hits and no walks over four innings. He struck out two.
The veteran right-hander made his first start since June 5, firing 69 total pitches in this outing. Despite entering with an impressive 2.84 ERA over 31.2 innings across six starts this season, Urena was knocked around by the Red Sox, yielding three extra-base hits en route to a season-worst seven runs. With Max Scherzer (shoulder) hitting the injured list Friday, Urena likely sticks in the Texas rotation for the time being. He lines up to face the Yankees on the road in his next start.

Shea Langeliers C | ATH
Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Pops homer in win
Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
Langeliers' solo shot was his third homer over the last seven games. While he's making good contact -- he's added three doubles in that span -- he's also struck out nine times over those contests. The catcher is up to a .215/.272/.457 slash line with 21 homers, 57 RBI, 40 runs scored and four stolen bases over 93 games this season. He needs one more long ball to match his total from 135 games in 2023.

Brent Rooker DH | ATH
Athletics' Brent Rooker: Goes deep in win
Rooker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
Rooker saw a seven-game hitting streak snapped Wednesday, but he bounced back quickly. The designated hitter, who now has nine home runs over his last 15 games, provided the Athletics' last runs of the contest with a two-run blast in the fifth inning, his fifth homer over the last nine games. For the season, he's up to 27 long balls, 79 RBI, 54 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a .293/.367/.591 slash line through 96 contests.

Tyler Anderson SP | LAA
Angels' Tyler Anderson: Tagged with 10th loss
Anderson (8-10) allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus the Mets on Friday.
Anderson is now up to 10 losses in the season, making him the 12th starter this season with double-digit losses. The 2024 All-Star still carries a 3.05 ERA, which is the best of any of those starters with 10 or more losses. Anderson's recent home/away splits have been puzzling though, as he's now given up 19 runs across his last five home starts while allowing only four runs in his five most recent road starts.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Slugs pair of solo homers
Seager went 3-for-3 with two homers, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 11-6 loss to Boston.
The two-time World Series MVP opened the contest's scoring when he laced a 371-foot solo shot off Kutter Crawford in the first inning. Seager then cracked another solo homer -- this one traveling 410 feet -- off Crawford in his next plate appearance in the third. The Texas shortstop has found a groove since the All-Star break, hitting .333 (17-for-51) with three homers, two doubles, nine runs scored and five RBI over 14 games.
