Miller earned his fifth save of the season in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rays, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two in the ninth inning.

With Aroldis Chapman unavailable due to a lat issue, the Red Sox turned to Miller for the ninth inning to protect the team's 4-1 lead. It turned out to be a dramatic finish for Boston, with Miller tossing two wild pitches in the inning and loading the bases. Luckily for the southpaw, he limited the damage to just one run to secure the win for the Red Sox, who are inching closer toward punching their spot in the American League playoffs. Miller and Garrett Whitlock figure to be the top closer options for the Red Sox for as long as Chapman is sidelined.

Suarez (8-4) earned the win against the Rays on Friday, allowing one run on three hits and five walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings.

The five free passes were the most of Suarez's career, but the 31-year-old southpaw limited the damage to just one run during Friday's outing, falling one out short from the quality start. He's given up only two earned runs over his last three outings spanning 19.2 innings, which has him at a 3.27 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 143.1 innings this season. Suarez is slated to face the Guardians at home next week in what figures to be his last start of the regular season.

Anthony went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a two-run single during the Red Sox's 4-2 win over the Rays on Friday.

Anthony was responsible for all but one of the Red Sox's runs in Friday's win, with the 22-year-old slugger getting Boston on the board with a solo homer off Ian Seymour in the first inning. It was the first time this season that Anthony recorded three RBI in a game. He has a .709 OPS with two steals, five home runs and 14 RBI across 215 plate appearances this season.

Eldridge was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers due to a head laceration, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Eldridge has posted a .948 OPS with 14 RBI and seven runs scored over 15 games since the beginning of September, but the Giants will be without his services during Friday's series opener. Brett Harris will fill in at first base and bat seventh.

Peters was removed from Friday's game against the Tigers with an apparent head injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Peters was taken out of the game immediately after crashing into the wall while chasing down a flyball in the fifth inning. The White Sox will presumably evaluate him for a concussion, and an update on his health should come in the near future.

Bender will undergo surgery to address the stress reaction in his right shin, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Bender was never able to properly rehab his injury after landing on the injured list in late June, so he'll now opt for the surgical route. The Marlins will likely have more information regarding his recovery timeline following his procedure.

The Giants reinstated Bericoto (knee) from the injured list Friday.

Bericoto began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Sept. 9 and went 9-for-27 with two RBI and four runs scored over seven games. Now fully recovered from the bone bruise in his right knee, the 24-year-old will rejoin the active roster to replace Nate Furman (oblique) on San Francisco's bench.

The Giants placed Furman on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a right oblique strain, retroactive to Wednesday.

Furman will be eligible to return from the IL for San Francisco's final two regular-season games, but with the Giants out of the race for a wild-card spot, they likely won't be in a rush to bring him back. Victor Bericoto (knee) was activated from the injured list to take Furman's place on the 28-man roster.

The Giants recalled Davitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Davitt will join the big-league roster to replace Logan Webb, who landed on the injured list Friday with a finger blister. Davitt has given up one run in two MLB innings this season with the White Sox and has struggled to a 5.97 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 69.1 frames at the Triple-A level.

The Giants placed Webb on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right middle finger blister, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Manager Tony Vitello said last weekend that the Giants would consider shutting Webb down after he allowed 16 earned runs in 13 innings over his last three starts. With the team out of the playoff chase and Webb now dealing with a blister, the 29-year-old's season will officially come to an early end. He'll finish 2026 with a 4.31 ERA -- his worst mark since 2020 -- and a 1.17 WHIP across 160.2 innings. Duncan Davitt was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.
