Chourio went 2-for-5 with a walk, a three-run home run and two stolen bases in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

The 22-year-old outfielder opened the scoring by taking Cade Povich deep in the second inning, his career-high 24th homer of the season and fourth in 16 September contests. On the month, he's produced an impressive .324/.362/.541 slash line with five steals, 13 RBI and 18 runs. Chourio needs one more SB to record his third straight 20-20 season to begin his career.

Norby went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Mariners.

Norby continues to hit the ball well, as Friday's performance extended his hitting streak to six games. In that span, he's gone 11-for-25 with four doubles, four RBI, two stolen bases and four runs scored. Norby is making the case to stick with the Rockies or another big-league club in 2027 by maintaining a .309 average with 16 RBI and 18 runs scored across 33 games since joining Colorado.

Megill (3-3) blew the save but picked up the win in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning victory over the Orioles, giving up two runs on two hits in the ninth inning. He struck out one without walking a batter.

The Brewers took a 5-3 lead in the top of the ninth but Megill couldn't make it stick, giving up a single and a double to begin the frame followed by back-to-back sacrifice flies, but the right-hander was still the pitcher of record when his team reclaimed the lead for good in the top of the 10th. It was Megill's first blown save since June 5 and just his third of the year in 31 chances, but he's fading to end the regular season, getting tagged for runs in three of seven September appearances while compiling a 7.11 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB in 6.1 innings.

May didn't factor into the decision Friday, coughing up three runs on six hits and a walk over 2.1 innings in the Brewers' 6-5 extra-inning win over the Orioles. He struck out four.

With Milwaukee trying to fend off the Dodgers for the National League's best record, May wasn't given a chance to work through a rough third inning -- after serving up a three-run homer to Pete Alonso, the right-hander then loaded the bases before being lifted after 70 pitches (44 strikes). Fortunately for his ERA. Shane Drohan worked out of the jam to keep the game tied at 3-3. It's the third time in his last four starts that May has failed to complete five innings, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 4.96 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB over 16.1 innings, and he isn't making much of a case to be part of the postseason rotation. He'll look to finish the regular season on a high note, as he lines up to take the mound on the road next week in Philadelphia.

Burger went 1-for-2 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Burger finished off Toronto with a run-producing sacrifice fly in the sixth inning followed by a run-scoring double in the eighth. The first baseman is up to a career- and team-high 86 RBI over 147 contests.

Romano (0-4) allowed one earned run on two hits and struck out one batter across one inning to take the loss to the Mariners on Friday.

Romano entered the game with the score tied at 4-4, but he served up a leadoff home run to Lazaro Montes. Romano has had limited save chances in recent weeks, as the Rockies have just one win in their last 12 games, but he has allowed at least one earned run in three of his seven September appearances. Colorado hasn't shown any sign of moving Romano out of the closer role, but he isn't in a great position to make a strong fantasy impact down the stretch.

Griffin went 4-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Friday's 8-5 win over the Royals.

All four knocks were singles, but the precocious shortstop still did his job from the top of the order as part of a 15-hit barrage from the Bucs. Griffin is having a strong finish to his first MLB campaign, and over the last 10 games the 20-year-old sports a .311/.354/.422 slash line with three doubles, a triple, two steals, six runs and six RBI.

Walcott went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases and one run scored in Double-A Frisco's loss Friday.

The loss ended the RoughRiders' postseason run, but Walcott was prominent in the three-game series. He went 4-for-11 with four walks, a solo home run and four steals. His regular season started late due to injury, but the Rangers' top prospect showed he's ready for a promotion to Triple-A Round Rock in 2027. Walcott posted a .329/.404/.608 slash line with 10 home runs, 14 doubles, 21 RBI, 12 steals and 48 runs scored over 39 regular-season contests, including two games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Soto gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 15th save of the season in an 8-5 win over the Royals.

Mason Montgomery threw 29 pitches Thursday, so Soto got his old job back for a night as he picked up his first save since Aug. 1. Soto remains prone to meltdowns, and while he's blanked the opposition in five of his seven September appearances, he still has a 10.13 ERA in 5.1 innings on the month. On the season, the veteran southpaw has a 3.78 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 76:28 K:BB through 64.1 frames with six wins and 13 holds in addition to his saves.

Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Friday against the Tigers.

Montgomery returned from a one-game absence due to a wrist injury. He delivered a bases-clearing double in the first inning and came around to score in the same frame. It was a needed performance for Montgomery, as he's hitting just .132 while striking out at a 44.4 percent clip across 53 at-bats in September.
