Tovar went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.

Tovar got the Rockies on the board with a fifth-inning homer, but that was their only scoring play of the game. This was his first long ball in nearly a month -- his last came Aug. 28 versus the Astros, and he hit a modest .233 (20-for-86) with just two doubles and seven RBI over the 25 games between homers. The shortstop is up to nine homers, 33 RBI, 44 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .256/.299/.402 slash line over 93 contests this season.

Marquez (3-16) allowed six runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Giants.

Marquez was hit hard early, as Willy Adames hit a two-run home run in the first inning and Heliot Ramos added a three-run blast in the second. Marquez lost eight of his last 11 starts this season and allowed 50 runs (44 earned) over 52.1 innings in that span. Overall, he wasn't much better, finishing 2025 with a 6.70 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 83:48 K:BB across 126.1 innings over 26 starts. While he avoided a season-ending injury this year, his poor numbers -- the worst he's had in a full season in his career -- will likely lead to a tepid free-agent market for the right-hander.

Lee went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Lee has gone 7-for-20 (.350) with two extra-base hits over his last five games, following a seven-game stretch in which he went 0-for-20. The outfielder's slump has cost him a little playing time late in the year as the Giants take a look at some other players to evaluate for 2026. Lee has maintained a .264/.326/.407 slash line with eight home runs, 53 RBI, 73 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, 31 doubles and 12 triples through 148 contests.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Adames got to Rockies starter German Marquez early, tagging him for the opening runs in the first inning. This was Adames' first long ball since Sept. 9 versus the Diamondbacks, and he hit just .176 over the 14 games between homers. On the year, the shortstop is at a .226/.320/.420 slash line with 29 homers, 86 RBI, 93 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 22 doubles and two triples across 158 contests.

Ramos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Ramos extended the Giants' lead to 5-0 with his second-inning homer. The outfielder has warmed up late in the season, going 9-for-34 (.265) with four homers and eight RBI over his last seven games. Overall, he's at a .258/.329/.403 slash line with 21 long balls, 69 RBI, 85 runs scored and six stolen bases through 155 contests.

Walker struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Walker has had some missteps in September, allowing six runs over 7.2 innings while converting five of seven save chances. He caused no drama Friday, retiring the side on a tidy 14 pitches (nine strikes). Walker is up to 17 saves this season while adding a 3.98 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 60:17 K:BB through 61 innings.

McDonald (1-0) allowed three runs on five hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Friday.

McDonald gave up a three-run home run to Ezequiel Tovar in the fifth inning but was otherwise quite stingy in a dominant win. This was McDonald's third appearance in the majors this year, and he finished the campaign allowing six runs over 15 innings while adding a 14:2 K:BB. It was a strong showing in his late-season audition, which reflects better than his 5.37 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 144:62 K:BB over 142.1 innings at Triple-A Sacramento. McDonald has likely done enough to be in the conversation for a big-league rotation spot in the spring.

General manager Brandon Gomes said Friday that Stewart will undergo a debridement procedure in his right shoulder and is expected to return in time to pitch the majority of the 2026 campaign, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Stewart made just four appearances for Los Angeles after being acquired at the trade deadline, giving up two earned runs over 3.2 innings, and his upcoming surgery will prevent him from pitching in the postseason. The general manager's comments suggest that the 33-year-old won't be ready for the start of next season, but a first-half return is still seemingly on the table.

Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-1 win over the Cardinals.

Hoerner popped his seventh home run of the season in the first inning, as he was one of four Chicago players to go deep. The speedy infielder isn't known for his power -- his career high in homers is only 10 -- and he appears likely to finish with a single-digit total for the third straight year. Hoerner is a great source of steals, however, as he has 29 of them this season in 35 attempts, and he's swiped 103 bags since the start of 2023.

Keller didn't factor into the decision Friday against Atlanta, allowing one run on three hits and five walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out six.

Keller lacked control in his last start of the campaign, issuing his most walks of the year in his shortest outing since Aug. 19. In fact, the right-hander lent more free passes Friday than he did in his prior five appearances combined. Keller will be entering the third season of his five-year contract with the Pirates in 2026, and he remained a capable -- if unspectacular -- major-league starter in 2025. Over 176.1 innings, he posted a 4.19 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 150:51 K:BB.
