Rogers (9-3) took the loss in Friday's contest against the Yankees, allowing six runs on three hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three.

The Baltimore southpaw's run of brilliance finally came to an end, as he allowed more than two runs for the first time since June 18. Rogers was undone by the long ball, coughing up multiple homers for the first time in 2025. The 27-year-old wraps an utterly fantastic season having pitched to a 1.81 ERA, 2.82 FIP, 0.90 WHIP and 103:29 K:BB across 109.2 innings.

Caminero went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

The 22-year-old became the second player in franchise history to reach the 45-homer plateau, with the only other occurrence happening in 2007 when Carlos Pena cracked 46 long balls. Caminero launched a solo shot off Toronto starter Shane Bieber in the second to tie the game at 1-1. The Tampa Bay third baseman has been a steady source of power all season and is now slashing .262/.307/.536 with 110 RBI and 93 runs scored through 644 plate appearances.

Gomez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals, allowing five runs on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

Gomez entered the sixth in line for a quality start before yielding three runs in the frame, ending the day having allowed four home runs. It still marked the longest outing of the 25-year-old's career, and he posted a 4.60 ERA over nine second-half starts. For the season, he finished with a 5.17 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 58:27 K:BB across 62.2 innings as both a reliever and starter.

Aranda (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss at Toronto.

Aranda returned from a fractured left wrist that had kept him out since late July and immediately made an impact after being activated Friday. The Tampa Bay first baseman gave his team a 2-1 lead in the second with a solo shot off Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber. Aranda is now slashing .316/.395/.485 with 13 homers, 54 runs scored and 55 RBI across 413 plate appearances. The All-Star should play a prominent role in the Rays' lineup for their final two games.

Lukes went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Friday's 4-2 victory over the Rays.

The Toronto outfielder carried his team's offense, posting his third performance with three or more RBI this season. The highlight of Lukes' evening was a 399-foot, two-run shot off Tampa Bay starter Adrian Houser in the fifth to give the Blue Jays a 4-2 lead they never conceded. Through 432 total plate appearances, Luke is now slashing .254/.322/.406 with 55 runs scored and 64 RBI over 133 games.

Hoffman collected the save in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rays, allowing two walks but no hits over a scoreless frame. He did not record a strikeout.

Despite issuing two free passes, the Toronto closer wrapped the win on 25 pitches, 14 of which were strikes. This marks the first time Hoffman has walked multiple batters in an outing since Aug. 10, when he granted five free passes in a blown save against the Dodgers. Overall, the righty reliever now sports a 4.37 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 84:27 K:BB in 68 innings while converting 33 of 40 save chances.

Sosa went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals.

Sosa fell a triple shy of the cycle and drove in runs on three separate occasions, including on a solo homer in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old has hit safely in four of his past five games, tallying three extra-base hits and five RBI in that span. For the season, he's slashing .263/.292/.433 with 22 home runs, 75 RBI, 55 runs scored and two steals across 536 plate appearances.

X-rays on Beavers' right shin came back negative following his removal from Friday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Beavers left Friday's contest after fouling a ball off his shin during the fourth inning, but he didn't suffer any fractures as a result of the incident. He can be considered day-to-day for now, but there's no guarantee he plays again this season with just two games remaining on the schedule.

Bieber (4-2) picked up the win in Friday's contest against the Rays, conceding two runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

This wasn't Bieber's sharpest performance, as he generated only nine whiffs out of his 90 total pitches. Both runs the Toronto right-hander allowed came on solo homers in the second, with Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda going deep. Following a return from Tommy John surgery in mid-August, Bieber produced a 3.57 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB across 40.1 regular-season innings. The one-time Cy Young Award winner's performance in the playoffs will likely have a heavy bearing on his 2026 draft price.

Taylor earned the save in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals, allowing one hit and no walks with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

Taylor was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning and closed the door on 16 pitches. The 23-year-old has now strung together 10 straight scoreless outings, posting a sharp 16:3 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's recorded six saves and nine holds while carrying a 4.91 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 54:15 K:BB across 36.2 innings.
