Kent (1-3) allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and four walks while striking out four over five innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Friday.

Kent gave up three runs during the third inning and another in the fourth, which ended up being the difference. It was a bit of a letdown after he earned his first win and quality start against the Marlins last week. Kent has struggled in his first taste of the majors, posting a 5.55 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 21:19 K:BB through 24.1 innings over five starts. He'll likely continue to get on-the-job experience to close out the year, with his next start projected to come in San Diego.

Tucker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Nationals.

Tucker ended a 22-game power drought with his sixth-inning blast. During that stretch, he hit just .132 (10-for-76) with two doubles, one triple and five RBI. Inconsistency has been a theme for Tucker throughout much of the campaign, but he continues to hold down a starting role in right field. He's batting .226 with a .686 OPS, 12 homers, 59 RBI, 73 runs scored, 20 doubles, three triples and 10 stolen bases over 133 contests.

Dreyer allowed one hit and struck out one without being charged for a run over one inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Nationals.

Seth Halvorsen was sloppy in a non-save situation, and Dreyer subsequently allowed two inherited runners to score before ending the threat. Since the start of August, Dreyer has allowed three runs on eight hits and eight walks while striking out 17 over 12.1 innings. He has earned two saves and three holds with a blown save and a 1-1 record in that span. Dreyer is at a 2.88 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 67:20 K:BB through 56.1 innings this season, filling a versatile role in a bullpen that has dealt with a number of injuries.

Snell (3-1) allowed five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Nationals on Friday.

Snell continues to excel -- he threw 65 of 100 pitches for strikes in this outing. He's earned quality starts in four of five games since he returned from an elbow procedure, and he's yet to allow more than one run in any of those outings. For the season, Snell has a 1.97 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB across 32 innings through six starts. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is lined up to be at Miami, though he could be moved up to work in next week's home series against the Reds if the Dodgers temporarily reduce the rotation to five starters due to injuries.

Campusano went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

Campusano delivered a walk-off blast in the 10th inning, taking Paul Blackburn deep. After a slight dip in playing time in late August, Campusano is back to getting fairly steady work between catcher and designated hitter, having started three of the last four games, though the Padres have faced three left-handed starters in that span. On the year, Campusano is batting .283 with an .849 OPS, six homers, 25 RBI, 19 runs scored and 11 doubles across 56 contests.

Buehler allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Friday.

Buehler fared well in a tough matchup, limiting the damage to a Ben Rice solo home run in the third inning. Buehler has gone nine straight outings without allowing more than three runs, giving up a total of 17 runs (16 earned) over 47.1 innings in that span. The veteran right-hander is now at a 4.56 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 117:51 K:BB through 136.1 innings, but he's been sharp in the second half of the campaign. Buehler is projected for a home start versus the Nationals in his next outing.

Iglesias secured the save in Friday's 5-2 win over the Phillies, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Iglesias entered Friday having logged just one punchout over his last four outings, but he opened the ninth inning by striking out the first two batters he faced before closing things out by getting Brandon Marsh to foul out to third. Iglesias is up to 30 saves in 2026, marking the sixth time he's recorded at least 30 saves in a season in his major-league career. He has a 2.77 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB over 52 innings this season.

Sanchez (16-5) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings.

Sanchez put the Phillies on the back foot early by allowing three runs in the second inning. He kept Atlanta off the board the rest of the way and secured a second straight quality start, but he didn't get quite enough run support from his Phillies teammates to avoid the loss, and his five punchouts were his fewest since July 6 against the Royals (one). Sanchez will take a 2.58 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 181.1 innings into his next start, which lines up for next week at home against the Astros.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a solo home run during Friday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

The Phillies couldn't get to Chris Sale on Friday with the exception of Bohm, who drove in an RBI double in the second inning before taking the veteran southpaw deep to left field for a 358-foot solo homer in the fourth. Bohm has multi-hit games in back-to-back outings and has gone 18-for-57 (.316) with 15 RBI, four extra-base hits and 12 runs scored over his last 15 games.

Dubon went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Friday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.

Dubon gave Atlanta a three-run cushion after taking Orion Kerkering deep to left-center field for a 390-foot, two-run blast. It was Dubon's first home run since the All-Star break, bringing him up to 11 home runs on the year and surpassing a previous career high that he set in 2023 with the Astros. Dubon has a .702 OPS with seven steals, 66 RBI and 37 extra-base hits across 536 plate appearances this season.
