Blewett (1-0) earned the win in Thursday's 7-4 victory over the Mariners. He allowed two hits and no walks while striking out four over two scoreless innings.

With starter Jack Perkins lasting just three innings, Blewett entered in the fourth frame and delivered two scoreless innings, becoming the pitcher of record when the A's took the lead for good in the top of the fifth. Since being designated for assignment and traded by the Cardinals in late July, the right-hander has posted a 2.70 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 23.1 innings with the Athletics.

Jensen went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a triple, three RBI and three total runs scored in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Marlins.

Jensen collected a trio of hits, driving in runs with an RBI triple in the third inning and a two-run homer in the fifth frame. The young catcher has been on fire at the plate, batting .321 with six homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs and a stolen base over his past 15 games. Overall, he's slashing .231/.316/.442 with 22 homers, 67 RBI, 66 runs and two stolen bases in 131 contests.

Duran went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Rays.

Duran's been a steady offensive contributor the last couple of weeks for the Rangers. He has RBI in eight of the last 11 games, during which he's gone 14-for-40 (.350) with two doubles, three home runs, 12 RBI and seven runs scored. Thursday's stolen base was his 11th and tied the career high he set in 2025.

Langford went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Rays.

Langford's doing what he can to help Texas make the playoffs, even if he isn't getting many opportunities to make a big impact. He's gone nine consecutive games without an RBI, but Langford's reached base safely at a .450 clip and scored seven runs during that stretch.

Kwan went 2-for-5 in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Toronto.

Kwan logged a sixth multi-hit performance over the last 10 games, during which he's gone 17-for-43 (.395) with nine runs scored. He's had a remarkable run in the second half after entering the All-Star break with a .225 batting average. Since the break, Kwan is batting .366 over 41 contests.

Adell went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Adell, who was acquired by the Guardians at the trade deadline, has been helpful for a team that needed offense. He owns a .784 OPS with four home runs, seven doubles and 21 RBI across 26 games with Cleveland. Adell's never been known for his on-base skills, but his .336 OBP and 10.0 percent walk rate for the Guardians far outpace his career norms.

Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks and two RBI in a 3-2 victory versus St. Louis on Thursday.

Hernandez and Tommy Edman combined for all six of Los Angeles' hits in the dramatic victory. The final knock of the night was Hernandez's one-out double off Cardinals closer Riley O'Brien to plate the tying and winning runs. It's been a pretty rough season overall for Hernandez, as his .723 OPS is on pace to be the lowest of his career. However, he may be starting to come around at the dish -- over his past eight contests, Hernandez is batting .387 (12-for-31) with one home run, three runs, four RBI and one stolen base.

Edman went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs and a stolen base in a 3-2 win against the Cardinals on Thursday.

With Shohei Ohtani (biceps/knee) getting a day off, Edman took over atop the lineup for the Dodgers. That decision paid off in a big way, as the utility man reached base four times and scored two of the team's three runs. Edman has been red hot to begin September, going 8-for-15 with five runs and two RBI through three games. Should Ohtani need more time to recover, Edman could continue to temporarily hold down the leadoff spot.

Mathews allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out four batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.

It wasn't an easy outing for Mathews, as he needed 99 pitches to complete five innings and threw only 52 of those offerings for strikes. He logged just one clean frame but wasn't scored upon until he uncorked a wild pitch to allow a run to cross the plate in the fifth inning. The four walks were a career high, but Mathews would have come away with a second straight victory if Riley O'Brien hadn't blown a save opportunity in the bottom of the ninth. Mathews has shown some flashes during his first five MLB starts but is just 1-2 with a 4.38 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 24.2 innings. He's slated to make his next start in San Francisco.

Skubal allowed two runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Thursday.

Skubal didn't have his best stuff Thursday, as he gave up a season-high 10 hits while logging only one 1-2-3 inning. However, the star hurler showed poise in mostly working around the constant flow of traffic, as the Cardinals were able to plate just two runs against him. Skubal extended his stretch of outings with three or fewer runs allowed to 12, and he's struck out six or more batters 11 times during that span. He has only one win through six starts as a Dodger, but Skubal has been pretty effective, logging a 3.03 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB across 35.2 innings since being traded to Los Angeles.
