Langford went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

The rookie wasted no time in getting the Rangers on the board, rocketing a Reid Detmers changeup over the wall in left field in the first inning. Langford struggled early in the season in his first look at big-league pitching, but over his last 30 games he's slashing .295/.378/.580 with eight of his 15 homers on the year. The 22-year-old will head into 2025 with sky-high expectations once again, but he may be better equipped to meet them the second time around.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

Garcia hit the second of back-to-back home runs in the first inning, following Wyatt Langford's two-run shot. It was the second homer in three games for Garcia, who has at least one RBI in four consecutive contests. He's had a productive month, driving in 21 runs over 23 games in September, and he's reached the 25-homer plateau for the fourth straight season.

Yates walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 32nd save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Angels.

The 37-year-old righty converted his 11th straight save dating back to Aug. 19, a stretch in which he's posted a dazzling 0.63 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over 14.1 innings. Yates' injury history remains concerning, but his outstanding comeback campaign in 2024 sets his up for a big payday as a free agent this winter.

DeGrom came away with a no-decision in Friday's 5-2 win over the Angels, allowing one run on four hits over four innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

The 36-year-old right-hander was sharp in his final start of 2024, topping out at 98.7 mph with his fastball and firing 39 of 53 pitches for strikes. A cautious recovery from Tommy John surgery cost deGrom most of the season, but in three September outings he delivered a 1.69 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB over 10.2 innings, suggesting he still has plenty left in the tank. He still has three years and $115 million left on his contract, plus a $20 million club option for 2028, so if he's healthy deGrom should play a big role in the Rangers' rotation plans for next season.

Hurter (6-1) allowed one run on two hits across four innings of relief to earn the win Friday against the White Sox. He struck out one.

Hurter followed opener Brenan Hanifee, who completed two scoreless innings, and pitched well to record his sixth win through 10 appearances while punching Detroit's playoff ticket. Hurter has had a nice rookie campaign, posting a stellar 2.58 ERA and 0.88 WHIP across 45.1 innings, often working in bulk relief. It remains to be seen how the Tigers structure their pitching staff for the postseason, but the 26-year-old has likely earned a prominent role based on his strong performance.

Kelly started at designated hitter and went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

Kelly, who entered the game hitless in his previous 14 at-bats, snapped that run with a second-inning single. He then launched his second home run as a member of the Rangers in the fourth inning, extending the team's early lead to 4-0. Since being acquired from the Tigers at the trade deadline, Kelly has stolen at-bats from starter Jonah Heim, who has a .543 OPS since the beginning of August.

Foley recorded the last out of Friday's 4-1 win over the White Sox to earn the save,

Tyler Holton was pitching well and possibly could have been asked to retire one more batter with a three-run lead, but the Tigers didn't mess around with a chance to secure an AL Wild Card spot. Foley did his part to kick-start the celebration by securing his 28th save of the season and seventh in the last two weeks. The righty has been a big piece of his team's surprise success this year, pitching to a 3.15 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 60 innings. Foley will clearly have a high-leverage role in the postseason now as well.

Lopez (15-10) took the loss Friday as the Twins were downed 7-2 by the Orioles, giving up two runs on six hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

The right-hander pitched well, tossing 69 of 111 pitches for strikes in a must-win game for Minnesota, but Lopez served up a two-run homer to Ryan O'Hearn in the second inning, and his offense and bullpen couldn't rise to the occasion. Lopez did what he could to bolster the Twins' postseason hopes down the stretch, posting a 2.93 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 56:13 K:BB in 61.1 innings after the calendar turned to August, but to no avail. The 28-year-old will head into 2025 as one of the foundational pieces for the team's rotation, on a contract that still has three years and $64.5 million left on it.

O'Hearn went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

He took Pablo Lopez deep in the second inning, giving the Orioles a lead they wouldn't relinquish as they went on to clinch a wild-card spot with the victory. O'Hearn snapped a 25-game homerless drought with the blast, and he's slashing a tepid .214/.267/.329 through 22 contests in September. Despite the slump, his 14 home runs on the season tie his career high, and O'Hearn has two games left on the regular-season schedule to try and set a new high-water mark.

Povich (3-9) picked up the win Friday, allowing two hits and a walk over 5.2 scoreless innings in a 7-2 victory over the Twins. He struck out two.

The rookie southpaw fired 57 of 79 pitches for strikes, falling just short of his fourth career quality start, as he helped the Orioles clinch a wild-card spot. Povich put together an impressive September to close out his first season in the majors, posting a 2.60 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB through 27.2 innings over five outings, but it's not yet clear how Baltimore plans to deploy the 24-year-old in the playoffs.
