Fedde took a no-decision against the Royals on Wednesday, allowing one run (none earned) on four hits and two walks in 2.2 relief innings. He struck out two.

Fedde took over for Bryan Hudson after Hudson allowed three runs to score and only registering one out. The right-hander was probably not meant to enter the game this early, but was able to provide clean innings so the White Sox could come back. The 33-year-old Fedde has posted a 3.83 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 99:52 K:BB in 141 innings and 15 starts this season. The veteran may appear again out of the bullpen as the White Sox have still not clinched a playoff spot.

Lugo allowed four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 3.1 innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Wednesday.

Lugo got six straight outs to start the game, but allowed all of the games' damage in the third inning when the White Sox got four runs off of five hits and 2 hit-by-pitches. The 36-year-old leaves this start allowing the most hits (200) and second most earned runs (99) in the American League. This is likely Lugo's last outing of the 2026 season.

Espino will serve as the opening pitcher during Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Espino gave up three earned runs in one inning during his most recent appearance while working as an opener last Friday against the A's, but Cleveland will give him an opportunity to redeem himself Thursday. He'll likely remain in the game for an inning or two before handing the ball over to bulk reliever Joey Cantillo.

McMahon went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 9-2 win over Tampa Bay.

McMahon extended New York's lead to 2-0 in the second inning with a two-out RBI single before breaking the game open with a grand slam off Mason Englert in the third. It was a much-needed performance for McMahon, who'd gone just 1-for-17 in six games prior to Wednesday. Overall, he's slashing .210/.276/.352 across 356 plate appearances this year with 11 homers, 40 RBI and 32 runs scored.

Rice went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 9-2 win over Tampa Bay.

Rice led off the game with a 379-foot blast off Mason Englert, his 40th homer this season, before adding his 41st in the fourth, tying Yordan Alvarez and Junior Caminero for the AL lead. Overall, the 27-year-old Rice is slashing .263/.362/.537 with 97 RBI, 103 runs scored and three steals across 654 plate appearances in a breakout campaign.

Cole (10-9) earned the win Wednesday over the Rays, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

Cole ended his regular season on a high note, allowing just four runs over 11.2 innings while striking out 17 in his last two starts -- he had struggled to a 5.96 ERA in his previous four outings. The right-hander held Tampa Bay scoreless Wednesday until Jonny DeLuca's two-out RBI double in the fourth inning before Cedric Mullins added a solo home run in the fifth. Cole will finish the regular season with a 3.61 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 131:25 K:BB across 22 starts (127 innings).

Chapman (lat) struck out the side to earn the save Wednesday against Cleveland.

Chapman last pitched Sept. 13 due to a lat issue, but he showed no signs of rust Wednesday in his return to the mound. The star southpaw has now punched out three in back-to-back outings, last blowing a save June 28 against the Yankees. He has a shiny 1.92 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 71:23 K:BB with 35 saves in 37 attempts across 51.2 innings.

Prielipp didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Giants, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

It was a strong outing overall for Prielipp, who held the Giants scoreless until Shay Whitcomb's two-out, two-run single in the fourth inning,. In three starts since rejoining Minnesota's rotation, Prielipp's given up just five runs across 17.2 innings. The lefty will likely finish his rookie campaign with a 4.87 ERA over 125.2 innings this season with a 1.29 WHIP and 128:44 K:BB.

Gray (18-5) earned the win Wednesday against Cleveland, striking out three while allowing four hits and one walk in six scoreless innings.

Gray scattered four singles on the evening in what was final scheduled appearance of the regular season. The right-hander is heading into the playoffs with a ton of steam, having logged a quality start in four consecutive outings and seven of his last nine. Wednesday put a bow on an excellent regular season, which saw Gray post a 2.72 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 149:46 K:BB over 169 innings.

Morris earned the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Giants, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Morris got the call in the ninth inning Wednesday after Yoendrys Gomez was used earlier in the contest. The 25-year-old Morris worked around a pair of two-out base runners to log his fifth save of the year. The right-hander has turned in four straight scoreless frames, lowering his ERA to 4.21 on the season with a 1.36 WHIP and 68:27 K:BB across 72.2 innings.
