Woo (11-9) allowed one hit and two walks while striking out nine over eight shutout innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Woo has made some improvements on the road since the start of August, and he was able to take that momentum back home this time. He threw 73 of 102 pitches for strikes in his best and longest start of the season. This was the fifth time this year (fourth at home) in which he's covered at least seven scoreless innings while allowing four or fewer baserunners. Woo has a 4.03 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 158:33 K:BB through 156.1 innings over 27 starts on the year. His next outing is expected to be a rematch versus the Athletics in Sacramento, which is a bit concerning given Woo's 5.63 ERA on the road this year.

Bolte went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Mariners.

Bolte's single was the Athletics' lone hit of the game, and even the steal wasn't enough to manufacture a run. He has hit safely in 10 of his last 14 games, going 19-for-59 (.322) over that span. The rookie outfielder is batting .274 with a .738 OPS, eight home runs, 16 steals, 31 RBI, 43 runs scored, 13 doubles and one triple over 101 contests this season.

Jump (6-10) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Sunday.

Jump wasn't particularly efficient, needing 82 pitches (60 strikes) to get through his four frames. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark in four of his last seven outings, giving up 27 runs over 33.2 innings with a 38:20 K:BB in that span. The 23-year-old southpaw is at a 5.12 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 106:45 K:BB through 96.2 innings over 19 starts in the majors this year. He has totaled 134.2 innings between the majors and Triple-A in 2026, up from 111.2 frames between Double-A and High-A in 2025, so there may be some intent from the Athletics to keep his outings short. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home in a rematch with the Mariners.

Simpson went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Rangers.

Simpson logged his first steal of September in the seventh inning of this contest. He's been putting bat to ball fairly well lately, logging eight multi-hit efforts over his last 14 games. The light-hitting speedster is 39-for-53 on the basepaths this season while batting .308 with a .696 OPS, 31 RBI, 57 runs scored, 14 doubles, six triples and no home runs over 135 games.

Seymour allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out two over three-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Sunday.

Seymour has now given up at least three runs in each of his last five games, though he had covered at least five frames in each of those outings prior to Sunday. The southpaw had particular trouble with Jake Burger, who tagged him for a pair of home runs, accounting for three of the runs he surrendered. Seymour is at a 4.33 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 140:33 K:BB through 116.1 innings over 43 games (13 starts) this year. He is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Astros.

Duran went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rays.

Duran has collected seven multi-hit efforts over his last 17 games, going 24-for-63 (.381) in that span. The utility man continues to be a consistent bat for the Rangers while picking up steady playing time between center field and second base. For the year, he's hitting .277 with a .794 OPS, 17 home runs, 78 RBI, 65 runs scored, 26 doubles, four triples and 11 stolen bases over 135 games. He has already set or matched career highs in nearly every offensive category.

Seager went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rays.

Seager has picked up the pace at the plate lately, going 24-for-77 (.312) over his last 20 games. He has three homers and nine RBI in that span. The veteran shortstop is batting .227 with a .739 OPS, 15 homers, 38 RBI, 49 runs scored, 14 doubles and a stolen base over 84 contests on the year.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, a walk, three RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rays.

Burger tagged Ian Seymour for a solo shot in the second inning and a two-run blast in the fourth. Burger had gone 10 games without a long ball, adding just two doubles and three RBI in that span. The first baseman is up to 25 homers on the year while batting .239 with a .738 OPS, 82 RBI, 60 runs scored, 21 doubles and three stolen bases over 137 contests.

Junis pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rays.

Jacob Latz was used to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning. The Rangers added some insurance in their half of the frame before Junis shut things down to pick up his first save since June 21. Despite the lack of saves, Junis has worked pretty well in a setup role. He's allowed three runs over 9.1 innings while collecting three holds since returning from an adductor strain. On the year, the veteran reliever has a 2.74 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB while adding six saves, 17 holds and one blown save over 49.1 innings.

Gore allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over three-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rays on Sunday.

Neither of Gore or Ian Seymour was able to provide much length as starters. The Rays' four-run second inning did much of the damage on Gore's line. He's now allowed 13 runs over his last 23.2 innings across five starts, falling short of the five-inning mark twice in that span. For the season, Gore has a 4.51 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 170:63 K:BB across 157.2 innings through 30 starts. He is projected to make his next start at Arizona.
