Will Warren SP | NYY
Yankees' Will Warren: Runs into trouble in fifth frame
Warren allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Warren was mostly cruising until getting into trouble in the fifth inning. He left a bases-loaded mess for Brent Headrick, who then served up a grand slam to Nolan Arenado. Warren hadn't been charged with more than three runs in any of his previous six outings, posting a 1.80 ERA over 30 innings in that span. For the season, he has a 4.02 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 151:54 K:BB through 152.1 innings over 31 games (29 starts). He's projected for one more regular-season start at home versus the Orioles.

Troy Melton SP | DET
Tigers' Troy Melton: Exits early with injury
Melton (undisclosed) exited his start Sunday against the White Sox in the fourth inning, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Melton left the game after he had allowed the White Sox to take a 3-0 lead on a two-out RBI double by Sam Antonacci, and he was replaced on the mound by Tyler Holton. Another run was charged to his ledger following his departure, so he ended his day having tossed 3.2 innings, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters. It's unclear what injury Melton suffered, but more information on his status will likely come following the conclusion of Sunday's contest.

Jack Perkins RP | ATH
Athletics' Jack Perkins: Strong again in tough-luck loss
Perkins (3-12) took the loss against the Guardians on Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.
Perkins allowed just one run in the fourth inning but was outdueled by Gavin Williams. The 26-year-old Perkins threw 54 of 80 pitches for strikes with nine whiffs, and he's now delivered quality starts in back-to-back outings for the first time this season. He owns a 5.90 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 131:48 K:BB across 116 innings as both a reliever and starter this season and will make his final start of the campaign at home against the Astros next weekend.

Gavin Williams SP | CLE
Guardians' Gavin Williams: Dominant effort in win
Williams (14-8) earned the win against the Athletics on Sunday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out nine over seven scoreless innings.
Williams breezed through seven scoreless frames, throwing 63 of 89 pitches for strikes with a whopping 21 whiffs. It continued a stellar September for the 27-year-old, who's yielded just four earned runs over four outings spanning 25 innings while logging three quality starts and racking up 40 punchouts. He's compiled a 3.63 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 244:57 K:BB across 181 innings this season and lines up for his final start of the regular season on the road against Kansas City next weekend.

Spencer Arrighetti RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Spencer Arrighetti: Nabs ninth win as reliever
Arrighetti (9-9) notched the win Sunday against Texas, striking out two while allowing two runs on two hits and two walks in 2.1 innings of relief.
Arrighetti was not nearly as effective as opener Spencer Miles, who fired three shutout innings, but Toronto provided enough run support to get Arrighetti credited with the win. The right-hander has now operated as a long reliever in five of his seven outings for the Blue Jays, but he's yet to cover at least five frames since coming over from Houston. He has a 6.35 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 19:14 K:BB over 22.2 innings for his new team, and it remains to be seen how he'll next be deployed once Trey Yesavage (knee) is reinstated from the injured list.

Jacob deGrom SP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Shaky in 10th loss
DeGrom (11-10) took the loss Sunday against Toronto, striking out two while allowing three runs on five hits and four walks in 4.1 innings.
The veteran right-hander didn't have his best stuff on the mound, matching a season low in punchouts and issuing at least four free passes for the third time this year. It was deGrom's shortest outing since Aug. 25 against the White Sox, breaking up a four-start streak with at least five innings and two or fewer runs allowed. His final appearance of the regular season is set to come in Minnesota, with deGrom carrying a career-worst 3.86 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 196:43 K:BB over 158.2 innings as he searches for his fifth career 200-strikeout campaign.

Andres Munoz RP | SEA
Mariners' Andres Munoz: Dealing with knee injury
Munoz (knee) will undergo imaging to diagnose his injury Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Munoz tweaked his right knee on the final pitch of a one-out walk to TJ Rumfield in the bottom of the ninth inning, and he was unable to remain in the game. The 27-year-old's status for the remainder of the regular season is now in question.

Patrick Sandoval SP | BOS
Red Sox's Patrick Sandoval: One bad frame in loss
Sandoval (1-7) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.
Sandoval was tagged for four runs in the first inning but still managed a season-high seven frames, throwing 69 of 94 pitches for strikes with 14 whiffs. It goes down as the southpaw's fifth straight loss, and he's yielded at least four runs in each of his four September outings. He owns a 5.15 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 67:31 K:BB across 64.2 innings this year and will make his final start of the regular season at home against the Cubs next weekend.

Griffin Jax SP | TB
Rays' Griffin Jax: Goes five scoreless in win
Jax (8-10) earned the win against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing three hits and issuing two walks while striking out five over five scoreless innings.
Jax was spotted an early lead and ran with it despite throwing just 47 of 74 pitches for strikes. The 31-year-old has now logged consecutive scoreless efforts and owns a 3.57 ERA through four September outings despite yielding six earned runs in his return from the injured list Sep. 2. He'll carry a 3.62 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 115:35 K:BB across 109.1 innings this year into a final regular-season matchup at the Phillies next weekend.

Jose Altuve 2B | HOU
Astros' Jose Altuve: Cracks solo shot in loss
Altuve went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday in a 4-2 loss to Atlanta.
The veteran second baseman snapped a lengthy power outage, as he had lost gone deep Sept. 3 versus the White Sox. Altuve has a modest five-game hitting streak going, though Sunday marked his first RBI since Sept. 4 against Arizona. The 36-year-old has shown signs of decline in 2026, slashing a pedestrian .249/.307/.402 with 16 homers, 45 RBI, five stolen bases and 67 runs scored over 545 trips to the plate.
