Boyd (9-5) earned the win against the Reds on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks with four strikeouts over five innings.

Boyd opened with four scoreless innings before allowing two runs in the fifth. The southpaw generated 11 swinging strikes and departed at only 71 pitches, his lowest total since he struggled in his very first outing of the campaign. He owns a 4.06 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 93:37 K:BB across 119.2 innings this year and will make his final start of the regular season at Boston next weekend.

Iglesias struck out one in a clean ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against Houston.

Iglesias submitted his third consecutive perfect outing Saturday. The veteran closer has given up just one earned run in his last 12 appearances, converting all nine of his save opportunities over that span. On the season, he sports a 2.64 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 61:17 K:BB with 34 saves (37 chances) across 58 frames.

Lodolo (3-6) took the loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with one strikeout over seven innings.

Lodolo entered the sixth inning in a 2-2 tie before surrendering a solo shot to Michael Busch. It was an odd start for the southpaw, who needed just 90 pitches to complete seven frames for the second straight contest but generated only four swinging strikes while allowing 10 hard-hit balls. He owns a 5.04 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 80:44 K:BB across 103.2 innings this season and will finish his campaign at Toronto next weekend.

Benge went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Phillies.

The 23-year-old outfielder put his name in the franchise record book with the performance, as Benge now has 156 hits on the year -- topping the 155 knocks recorded by Pete Alonso in 2019 for the most ever in a season by a Mets rookie. Benge has cooled off a bit in September, and over 17 games this month he's batting .269 (18-for-67) with three of his 19 homers, and three of his 22 steals.

Holmes (10-5) notched the win Saturday against Houston, striking out four while allowing two runs on eight hits and no walks in six innings.

Isaac Paredes went yard in the first inning, but Holmes settled in and fired five innings of one-run ball afterwards. The right-hander has tossed at least six innings while yielding fewer than three runs in five of his last nine starts, posting five scoreless outings during that stretch. With a 3.47 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 114:59 K:BB over 147.2 innings, he's set to wrap up the regular season with a road matchup against the Marlins.

Rolison retired the only batter he faced in the ninth inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-2 over the Reds. He did not record a strikeout.

Rolison was summoned to face lefty JJ Bleday with a runner on first and two outs and got him to pop out to end the contest. The 29-year-old southpaw has now held opponents scoreless in seven of his past eight appearances, and he's converted both of his two save chances during that stretch. On the year, he's tallied three saves and seven holds to go along with a 2.97 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 51:27 K:BB across 60.2 innings.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said following Saturday's game against the Blue Jays that Quantrill (lat) will undergo an MRI on Sunday morning, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Testing is needed after Quantrill left Saturday's game in the second inning with right lat tightness. Lefty Jordan Montgomery picked the team up with 3.2 hitless and scoreless innings in relief following Quantrill's early exit, earning the win against the Blue Jays, and Montgomery could be rewarded with a start next week if Quantrill is unavailable.

Scott didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Phillies, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.

The right-hander ran out of gas in the fifth inning, getting lifted after 79 pitches (52 strikes) and then watching the Mets take the lead for good in the bottom of the frame, missing out on his fifth win of the year in the process. Scott continues to flash strong strikeout upside, and since the All-Star break he has a 69:21 K:BB in 56 innings, albeit with a 4.50 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. He'll wrap up his first full season in the majors with a road start next weekend against the Nationals.

Wesneski didn't factor into the decision Saturday against Atlanta, striking out three while allowing one run on four hits and three walks in 5.1 innings.

Wesneski kept Atlanta off the board until the sixth inning, turning in a strong start Saturday. The right-hander has been pretty reliable lately, either logging a quality start or pitching at least five innings while conceding fewer than two runs in seven of his last nine outings since the beginning of August. His final appearance of the regular season is slated to come against the Athletics in hitter-friendly Sacramento, where he'll carry a respectable 3.50 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB over 54 innings.

Bibee did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 12-6 win against the Athletics, allowing six runs on 12 hits and no walks with two strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Bibee was spotted a huge lead but struggled, yielding a career-high 12 hits while generating just seven whiffs on 95 pitches. It continued a rough September for the 27-year-old, who owns a bloated 8.24 ERA in four starts this month while failing to log five frames in three of them. He owns a 4.35 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 142:54 K:BB across 182 innings overall and will try to rebound in his final matchup of the regular season at Kansas City next weekend.
