  • John Schreiber RP | NYY

    Yankees' John Schreiber: Credited with save Monday

    Schreiber earned a save against the Twins on Monday, issuing one walk over 1.1 hitless and scoreless innings. He did not record a strikeout.

    Schreiber entered with two outs in the eighth inning after Minnesota put two runners on base while trailing by four runs. He retired the only batter he faced in that frame and returned for the ninth, working around a one-out walk and an error to close out the contest. Schreiber thus notched his first save since joining the Yankees off waivers Aug. 31. The right-hander had a save with the Royals earlier in the campaign, but he's no threat to David Bednar's closing role. Still, he's been excellent so far in his tenure with New York, pitching seven scoreless innings over six outings, giving up just one hit.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Solid again Monday

    Warren allowed two runs (both unearned) on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on Monday.

    Warren cruised through five scoreless frames before giving up two runs in the sixth. The right-hander was hurt in that inning by a one-out error and a two-out infield single before yielding a two-run triple. Warren was pulled after that hit and was thus unable to notch a second straight quality start, but this was nonetheless another positive outing for him. Across his past four appearances, he's given up just two earned runs over 21 innings while posting a 21:6 K:BB. Warren has lowered his season ERA to 3.89 during that span, and he's projected to next take the mound in Arizona.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Goes deep Monday

    Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 2-1 win against the Mets on Monday.

    Henderson broke a 1-1 tie with a solo shot to right-center field in the eighth inning to produce the game-winning run. The long ball was his first in September and his 23rd overall this season. It's been mostly a struggle for the infielder in 2026, as his .710 OPS is on pace for a career-worst mark. Still, he's provided more power this year after sinking to just 17 home runs across 154 regular-season games in 2025.

  • Jonah Tong SP | NYM

    Mets' Jonah Tong: Excellent in no-decison

    Tong allowed an unearned run over six innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Monday. He gave up four hits and one walk while striking out six batters.

    Tong yielded a run in the second inning, but he wasn't charged with an earned run since a passed ball contributed to the tally. Outside of that frame, the right-hander gave up just two hits and no runs across his other five innings. Tong racked up 13 whiffs among his 83 pitches and finished with the first quality start of his career. This was just his fifth outing and second start in the majors this year, as the 23-year-old has spent the majority of the campaign with Triple-A Syracuse. Given his performance Monday, Tong is likely to get at least another turn in the rotation. He's next slated to take the mound in a tough home matchup versus Philadelphia.

  • Javier Sanoja 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Productive in Monday's loss

    Sanoja went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, two additional RBI, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 8-7 loss to Arizona.

    After roping a two-RBI triple in the second frame, Sanoja lined a solo homer in the fourth inning. Adding to his big day, the third baseman swiped second base in the eighth inning after reaching on a fielder's choice. Sanoja has been on an extended tear at the plate, slashing .339/.378/.571 with five homers, 21 RBI, 17 runs and five stolen bases over his past 30 games. The 24-year-old has put together a quietly strong 2026 campaign overall, hitting .293/.333/.454 with nine homers, 63 RBI, 47 runs and 11 stolen bases in 133 contests.

  • Rico Garcia RP | BAL

    Orioles' Rico Garcia: Emerging as Orioles' closer

    Garcia notched a save against the Mets on Monday by tossing a perfect inning of work. He did not record a strikeout.

    Garcia took the mound with Baltimore up by a run in the ninth inning. He retired the side in order on 14 pitches (nine strikes) to notch the save. It was his third save in the past six days, and no other Baltimore pitcher has recorded a save during that span, so Garcia appears to have taken over as the team's primary closer in the absence of Ryan Helsley (elbow). Helsley is in the midst of a rehab assignment, but he's missed over 2.5 months of action, so it's not certain that Helsley will be immediately put back into the ninth-inning role upon his return to the major-league club.

  • Brandon Young SP | BAL

    Orioles' Brandon Young: Wild but effective Monday

    Young allowed one run on five hits and five walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Monday.

    Young struggled with his control, throwing just 59 of 106 pitches for strikes and issuing a season-high five free passes. However, none of the batters he walked came around to score, as the only run he gave up came on an A.J. Ewing solo homer. Young's wildness did prevent him from going deep into the game, but this performance was a vast improvement over the six-run, 3.2-inning dud he posted in his previous start. The right-hander is projected to next take the mound at home against Milwaukee.

  • Jakob Marsee CF | MIA

    Marlins' Jakob Marsee: Goes yard in three-hit effort

    Marsee went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-7 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Marsee put together a strong performance at the dish, clubbing a solo homer in the fourth inning as part of a three-hit effort. The young center fielder has been locked in offensively this month, slashing .370/.453/.587 with two homers, six RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base across 13 September contests. On the year, he's hitting .226/.342/.350 with 10 homers, 37 RBI, 76 runs and 22 stolen bases in 145 games.

  • Kazuma Okamoto 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kazuma Okamoto: Continues power surge

    Okamoto went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday in a loss to Detroit.

    Okamoto's long ball was a big one, as his three-run blast in the seventh inning turned a two-run Toronto deficit into a one-run lead. However, the Tigers put up runs in the eighth and ninth frames to emerge with the victory. Okamoto has been wielding a powerful bat of late, going deep in five of his past seven games. Monday's long ball was his first that wasn't a solo homer during that span, but he's batting a robust .348 (8-for-23) during the power surge. The rookie third baseman is up to 33 homers on the campaign, ranking 10th in the majors.

  • Jordan Lawlar CF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Drives fifth homer

    Lawlar went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 8-7 win over Miami.

    Lawlar launched a two-run homer in the eighth inning to cut Arizona's deficit to 7-6. Since returning from a right hamstring strain Aug. 17, the 24-year-old is hitting .238/.294/.460 with four homers, nine RBI, nine runs and a stolen base over 23 contests. Overall, Lawlar is slashing .267/.339/.455 with five homers, 13 RBI, 15 runs and five stolen bases in 35 games this season.
