Henriquez allowed no hits with two strikeouts and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Sunday versus the Nationals.

Closer Tanner Scott had pitched three of the last four days, so it was Henriquez that got the call after Mookie Betts put the Dodgers up 7-5 with a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning. It's the second save of the season for the right-hander, who has been a reliable bullpen option lately with just one run given up and a 23:2 K:BB in his past 15 appearances. Henriquez's previous save came June 28, and he's unlikely to be a regular part of the ninth-inning mix for manager Dave Roberts.

Wrobleski didn't factor in the decision Sunday against the Nationals after giving up four runs on eight hits and one walk over three-plus innings. He struck out six.

The left-hander was shifted to the bullpen upon his return from forearm inflammation Tuesday, but he made just one relief appearance before retaking the mound as a starter, with Roki Sasaki (finger) unavailable. Wrobleski opened with three scoreless innings Sunday, but things fell apart in the fourth as he failed to retire any of the five batters he faced. The 26-year-old has surrendered six earned runs across five frames in his two outings since coming off the IL, and he's likely to shift back to the bullpen due to Emmet Sheehan rejoining the big-league roster Monday.

Betts went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer and an additional RBI in Sunday's win against the Nationals.

The eight-time All-Star powered the Dodgers' offense despite collecting just one hit, as he started the scoring in the third inning with an RBI groundout before giving Los Angeles a 7-5 lead with a three-run blast in the eighth. It's already Betts' second four-RBI performance of September, as he's batting .360 (9-for-25) with three doubles, two homers, 11 RBI and six runs through the first six games of the month.

Teel went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Sunday against Minnesota.

Teel officially made the game a blowout with a three-run home run to straightaway center field in the eighth inning, giving the White Sox a 10-1 lead. This was the backstop's first long ball since July 5 after a high-ankle sprain landed him on the IL just after the All-Star break. Teel now has three homers on the year and increased his batting average to .181 after ending last season with a .273/.375/.411 slash line and eight homers in 78 games during his MLB debut.

Peters went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored during Sunday's 10-1 win over the Twins.

Peters has doubles in back-to-back games as he shows some power for the first time since the end of August, when he hit homers in five straight games. The 26-year-old is batting .400 (8-for-20) in September with a stolen base and an RBI. On the season, Peters is slashing .285/.348/.474 with 12 home runs, 53 RBI, and eight stolen bases over 138 games in an impressive rookie season for the former Savannah Banana.

Grichuk went 2-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in a 10-1 win Sunday versus the Twins.

Grichuk muscled a solo homer in the eighth inning and poked an RBI single in the sixth. The 35-year-old came on in the fifth as a pinch hitter for Andrew Benintendi. The long ball off Garrett Acton was only Grichuk's third against a righty this season, as he has mostly platooned against lefties, posting a .974 OPS in that split.

Antonacci went 3-for-4 with three doubles, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Twins.

Antonacci drove in both his runs with a deep double to center field in the sixth inning. The 23-year-old broke out of a mild September slump, as he was batting .125 (2-for-16) with one RBI through his first five games this month. The rookie's strong contact and on-base skills (.268 batting average and .367 OBP) have helped him maintain a solid grip on the leadoff spot in the White Sox lineup.

Lee went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 10-1 loss against the White Sox.

Lee crushed a high fastball to right field off Grant Taylor in the seventh inning to break up the shutout, and the switch hitter accounted for half of the Twins' hits. This was Lee's 44th game of the year batting second, even though he has only a .609 OPS in that lineup slot and has hit much better near the bottom of the order. The 25-year-old is slashing .250/.298/.439 with 79 RBI, 63 runs scored, and 23 homers across 512 at-bats in 2026.

Ober (7-5) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out six across 4.1 innings.

Ober has now gone eight starts without a win. After four scoreless frames, the right-hander gave up an RBI single to Munetaka Murakami to give the White Sox a 1-0 lead they never squandered. Ober needed 84 pitches (50 strikes) to record just 13 outs, his second-shortest start during a winless stretch in which he's gone 0-2 with a 4.20 ERA and 27:13 K:BB in 40.2 innings. He'll be on the lookout for more run support in his next scheduled start against Cleveland.

Miller picked up the save Sunday against the Yankees, striking out three and walking one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Miller struck out Ben Rice looking with a runner on first to notch his 33rd save on the season. The All-Star reliever had his first two blown saves of the year in August but now has a win and a save during his two appearances in September. This adds on to Miller's stellar year, as he's 33-for-35 in save opportunities with a 1.19 ERA and extraordinary 16.56 K/9 through 60.1 innings.
