Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

Making his second straight start, Torkelson delivered his 23rd home run of the season in the fifth inning. The slugging first baseman has seen his playing time trend downward lately, as he appeared off the bench in each of Detroit's previous three games before starting Saturday and Sunday. Torkelson still offers significant power potential when he's in the lineup, but his current role makes him hard to trust for fantasy managers.

Hughes (0-8) took the loss Sunday against the Tigers, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks in two innings. He struck out two.

Hughes was ineffective all around Sunday, giving up three extra-base hits on the afternoon. It was the shortest outing of the season for the right-hander, who hasn't worked into the sixth inning in any of his last seven starts. Still searching for his first win of the year, he'll take a 6.37 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB over 59.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance versus Seattle in hitter-friendly Colorado.

Greene went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three total RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

Greene wasted no time recording his 20th home run of the season, as he went deep in the first inning with a runner on base. The star outfielder has been locked in since returning from the injured list at the beginning of the month with a .378 batting average, 1.217 OPS, four home runs and 17 RBI across 11 games. About the only thing that seems likely to slow Greene down at this point is more frequent rest days due to Detroit's rapidly fading playoff chances.

Rogers (10-10) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five across six innings.

Rogers limited the Blue Jays to one run through four innings, but the 28-year-old southpaw's outing took a turn for the worse in the fifth, when he gave up consecutive homers to George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero and Kazuma Okamoto. It was the first time Rogers gave up three home runs in a start since Sept. 26, 2025, against the Yankees. He'll take a 4.22 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 157.2 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Brewers.

Pagan earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers, allowing one hit and no walks with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

Pagan was called on to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and worked around a leadoff single to slam the door. The 35-year-old has now secured 17 straight save opportunities, and he's held opponents scoreless in 19 of 23 second-half appearances. For the season, he's 23-for-26 in save chances to go along with a 3.72 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 39:10 K:BB across 38.2 innings.

Okamoto went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during Sunday's 8-1 win over Baltimore.

George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero and Okamoto smacked three consecutive solo homers off Trevor Rogers in the fifth inning, resulting in a 4-1 lead for the Blue Jays. Okamoto has four home runs over his last six games and is up to 32 homers on the year. He is three home runs shy from tying the 10th-most home runs in a season by a major-league rookie.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Suarez gave the Reds a 3-2 lead with a three-run shot in the sixth inning. It was the 35-year-old's second straight game with a homer, and he's now gone deep four times and driven in nine runs in eight September contests. On the year, he's slashing .213/.307/.435 with 24 long balls, 68 RBI, 45 runs scored and a stolen base across 459 plate appearances.

Springer went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and a three-run double during the Blue Jays' 8-1 win over the Orioles on Sunday.

The Blue Jays jumped all over Trevor Rogers in the fifth inning with consecutive solo homers from Springer, Vladimir Guerrero and Kazuma Okamoto. With the bases loaded in the eighth, Springer gave Toronto insurance runs with a bases-clearing double, and it was his first game of four RBI or more since July 3, 2025, against the Yankees. The veteran slugger has logged two hits in each of his last three games and has a .740 OPS with 12 steals, 15 home runs and 52 RBI across 480 plate appearances this season.

Sheehan did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out five over six scoreless innings.

Sheehan dominated the Marlins, generating 14 swinging strikes on 81 pitches and allowing just four hard-hit balls. The 26-year-old has pitched well since rejoining the Dodgers on Monday, allowing just one earned run over 11.2 innings with an impressive 15:2 K:BB. He owns a 4.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 132:32 K:BB across 107 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Ramirez went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

Ramirez entered a 4-4 game with a runner on second in the ninth inning and launched a 407-foot walk-off blast. It was a highlight in an otherwise disappointing year for the 25-year-old, who owns a lowly .669 OPS over 30 games since being recalled by Miami. On the year, he's slashing .225/.318/.348 with four homers, 21 RBI, 27 runs scored and four steals across 214 major-league plate appearances.
