Josue De Paula DH | LAD
Dodgers' Josue De Paula: Launches first career homer
De Paula went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.
De Paula smacked a 416-foot blast for his first major-league hit before reaching base in his next two trips to the plate. The top prospect has now gone 2-for-7 through three games with the Dodgers, and he's reached base in each game with an impressive 4:0 BB. It was his first game in the field, and it's worth noting that he was lifted for a defensive replacement in the sixth inning.

Joe Ryan SP | MIN
Twins' Joe Ryan: Falls to Cleveland
Ryan (6-10) took the loss Sunday against the Guardians, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk across four innings. He struck out one.
It was a tough outing for Ryan, who's now dropped five straight starts (bisected by a month-long stint on the IL). Ryan threw 84 pitches Sunday, giving up a pair of solo homers to Steven Kwan and Jo Adell before the Guardians added two more runs in the fourth. Ryan's ERA now sits at 3.84 through 25 starts (133.2 innings) this season with a 1.16 WHIP and 146:29 K:BB. Ryan is tentatively in line to face the Angels at home his next time out.

Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Giants' Rafael Devers: Undergoing surgery Tuesday
Devers (abdomen) will undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Devers was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday due to a core muscle injury, something that has reportedly bothered the 29-year-old slugger for a number of years, and the Giants should have an update on his recovery timeline following Tuesday's surgery. Devers will finish the 2026 regular season with an .865 OPS with 37 home runs and 98 RBI across 633 plate appearances.

Victor Mesa Jr. RF | TB
Rays' Victor Mesa: Extends hit streak in rout
Mesa went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 14-4 win over the Astros.
Mesa was a thorn in the Astros' side from the cleanup spot, falling a homer short of the cycle and scoring each time he reached base. The 25-year-old has hit safely in nine straight games, and he owns a ridiculous 1.300 OPS with seven extra-base hits, eight RBI, 12 runs scored and three steals through 12 September contests. For the season, he's slashing .261/.330/.518 with 13 homers, 30 RBI, 32 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 223 plate appearances.

Tanner Bibee SP | CLE
Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Rebounds vs. Twins
Bibee (6-15) earned the win Sunday over Minnesota, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.
It was a strong bounce-back effort from Bibee. The right-hander had failed to make it through four innings in either of his previous two starts, giving up 10 runs across 8.1 innings in that span. Overall, Bibbe's ERA sits at 4.16 across 31 starts (177.1 innings) this season with a 1.18 WHIP and 140:54 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the A's at home in his next outing.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 1B | TOR
Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Finally goes deep at Rogers Centre
Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a double and a solo home run during Sunday's 8-1 win over the Orioles.
Guerrero's lack of power at the plate has been one of the bigger disappointments of the 2026 season, with all eight of his home runs prior to Sunday coming on the road. However, the 27-year-old first baseman bucked that trend by taking Trevor Rogers deep to left field, which was sandwiched between solo homers from George Springer and Kazuma Okamoto. Guerrero also tied a season high with four hits, and perhaps this latest outing will be a sign of things to come for the slugger over the final two weeks of the regular season.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Homers in loss
Paredes went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 14-4 loss to the Rays.
Paredes got the Astros on the board with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old has been stellar in September, recording a hit in 11 of 12 games this month with seven extra-base hits, 12 RBI and eight runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .260/.359/.435 with 21 homers, 85 RBI and 62 runs scored across 607 plate appearances.

Dylan Cease SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Dylan Cease: Strikes out nine for 11th win
Cease (11-5) earned the win against Baltimore on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and five walks while striking out nine across five innings.
Cease got off to a shaky start by loading the bases in the first inning with no outs, but the AL Cy Young candidate got himself out of trouble by striking out the next three batters he faced. He proceeded to keep the Orioles off the board until a Pete Alonso RBI single in the fifth, though Cease did not have the opportunity to earn the quality start as he ran his put count up to 94 (60 strikes) while generating 12 whiffs. The five walks were a season high for Cease, but he recorded at least nine strikeouts for the 13th time this season, and his 236 punchouts are tied with Jacob Misiorowski for most in the majors. Cease will take a 2.38 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 166.1 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Rangers in what could be his penultimate outing of the regular season.

Richard Palacios 2B | TB
Rays' Richie Palacios: Goes deep in rout
Palacios went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-4 win over the Astros.
Palacios gave the Rays a 7-0 lead with a three-run homer in the third inning before scoring another run in the seventh. The 29-year-old has been red hot in September, hitting .333 with five home runs, 11 RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen bases through 10 games this month. On the year, he's slashing .235/.330/.379 with 10 long balls, 50 RBI, 50 runs scored and 14 steals across 369 plate appearances.

David Sandlin SP | CHW
White Sox's David Sandlin: Takes loss in spot start
Sandlin (2-2) took the loss Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing three unearned runs on two hits and no walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out five.
Sandlin got off to an excellent start Sunday, as he held St. Louis to just one hit through his first five scoreless innings. However, he'd depart after giving up a pair of one-out singles in the sixth before the White Sox bullpen coughed up three unearned runs, following a Colson Montgomery error. Despite the disappointing finish, it was an encouraging outing overall for Sandlin, who gave up six runs in 5.1 innings in his last major-league start Aug. 7. Overall, Sandlin sports a 5.64 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB across 30.1 innings with Chicago this season.
