Turang went 1-for-4 with a double, two walks, two stolen bases, a run scored and an RBI in a 14-0 win over the Reds in the second game of Friday's doubleheader.

Turang had gone 10 games without a steal prior to Friday, though he's now swiped 39 bags on the season, third most in the majors behind Elly De La Cruz and Shohei Ohtani. Overall, Turang's slashing .255/.321/.359 on the season with seven homers, 61 runs scored and 51 RBI through 516 plate appearances.

Adames went 3-for-9 with a pair of home runs, three total runs scored and four total RBI in Friday's doubleheader with the Reds.

Adames got Milwaukee on the board in the opener, taking Nick Martinez deep to tie the game 1-1 in the second inning, before cranking a three-run blast off Yosver Zulueta in the nightcap. Adames now has four homers in his last six games and 26 on the season, four shy of a career high. Overall, the shortstop is slashing .254/.337/.461 with 92 RBI, 79 runs scored and 14 stolen bases across 581 plate appearances this year.

Gomber (4-10) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings as the Rockies fell 5-3 to the Orioles. He struck out four.

The southpaw delivered his 10th quality start of the season on 90 pitches (59 strikes), but a two-run homer by Emmanuel Rivera in the fourth inning put the visitors in the lead for good. Gomber has given Colorado at least six innings in five of six trips to the mound in August, posting a 4.37 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB in 35 innings over that stretch. He'll look for a better result in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Atlanta.

Darvish (personal/elbow) threw 66 pitches over four innings Friday in a controlled game against Cincinnati minor leaguers, Bernie Wilson of the Associated Press reports.

Darvish continues to ramp up as he looks to return from an absence of over three months, initially due to an elbow injury and then because of a personal matter. The veteran right-hander threw on his own for a period while he was away from the team, and he's since tossed a bullpen and a sim game in addition to Friday's outing against minor leaguers, so he's not as far off as a starting pitcher might typically be after such a long absence. Per Wilson, Darvish felt fine following Friday's controlled game, but Darvish's next steps are yet to be determined.

Martinez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

The veteran slugger took Jonathan Cannon deep in the third inning, Martinez's 16th homer of the year and fourth in his last 10 games. He's slashing .256/.275/.590 over that 10-game stretch with a 1:17 BB:K, numbers that reflect his 2024 struggles, but the 37-year-old is still within striking distance of his ninth career 20-homer campaign.

Megill (3-5) picked up the win in Friday's 5-1 win over the White Sox, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Making his first big-league start since July 31, Megill got the softest possible opponent in the White Sox, but he took advantage to record his first MLB win since June 16. With Paul Blackburn (hand) sidelined into September and Christian Scott (elbow) just beginning to ramp back up, Megill figures to get at least one more start for the Mets as they try to stay in the wild-card race. The right-hander will take a 4.82 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 61:23 K:BB through 52.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Red Sox.

Senzatela (elbow) completed four innings while allowing three earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in a rehab outing with Double-Hartford on Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Senzatela was hitting 94 mph with his fastball and generally came away feeling positive from the outing. He will take another turn through the Hartford rotation and has the potential to return to the Rockies' rotation this season.

Profar went 1-for-2 with four walks, two runs and a stolen base in a 13-5 win against Tampa Bay on Friday.

Profar did an excellent job setting the table out of the leadoff spot for San Diego, drawing four free passes and adding a single. The All-Star outfielder busted a four-game mini-slump during which he went 0-for-14. Despite that brief downturn, Profar has been an overall consistent producer for the Padres this season, slashing .283/.384/.465 with 21 home runs, 80 RBI, 79 runs and eight stolen bases through 566 plate appearances.

Peralta went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run in Friday's 13-5 win against the Rays.

Peralta singled and scored in the third inning and added a two-run blast to right field in the fourth. The long ball was his first in 15 games, though the veteran outfielder kept up his good hitting even during the power drought, batting .286 with a 5:6 BB:K. On the season, Peralta is slashing .278/.340/.438 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, 29 runs and two stolen bases over 212 plate appearances.

Spiers tossed two innings of relief and gave up three earned runs on three hits and no walks while striking out three Friday in the Reds' 14-0 loss to the Brewers in the second game of a doubleheader.

Even though injuries have tested the Reds' starting depth of late, manager David Bell has seemingly pulled the plug on Spiers as a member of the rotation. Spiers has made three of his last four appearances out of the bullpen, and his outing came behind a traditional starter (Rhett Lowder) rather than an opener. The right-hander looks poised to operate as a multi-inning reliever moving forward, with most of his usage likely to come in lower-leverage spots.
