Gray (11-6) took the loss Saturday, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings against the Yankees. He struck out seven.

Gray was knocked around early, giving up two runs in the first inning and allowing runs in three of his five frames overall. The veteran had looked sharp in his previous three outings, posting a 2.37 ERA and 0.89 WHIP across 19 innings, but Saturday's start halted that momentum. For the year, the right-hander carries a 4.30 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 140.1 innings in 25 starts.

Bednar secured the save in Saturday's 12-8 win over the Cardinals, retiring the only batter he faced.

Bednar came on with two runners aboard and two outs in the bottom of the ninth and sat down Ivan Herrera to close out a high-scoring Yankees victory. The right-hander notched his 20th save of the year and third since joining New York, including saves on back-to-back nights this weekend.

Judge went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two walks in Saturday's victory over the Cardinals.

Judge opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning before adding a solo shot in the third, his 39th homer of the season. The superstar slugger has tallied six seasons with 30-plus homers and sits just one long ball shy of his fourth 40-homer campaign.

Grisham went 4-for-5 with four runs scored and a walk in Saturday's win over the Cardinals.

Grisham didn't drive in any runs of his own Saturday, but he still made his presence felt by crossing the plate four times. It was the second time this season the center fielder notched four hits in a game, with the first coming June 25. The 28-year-old has kept his strong season rolling into August, slashing .269/.377/.442 with three homers and six RBI across 14 games this month.

Rice went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, seven RBI, an additional run scored and a walk in Saturday's 12-8 victory over St. Louis.

Rice exploded at the plate, driving in a season-high seven runs to match the career mark he set as a rookie last year. The big showing pushed his OPS north of .800, as he now sports a .240/.332/.472 slash line with 21 doubles, 18 homers and 45 RBI across 103 games in 2025.

Fried (13-5) earned the win Saturday despite allowing seven runs on eight hits and a walk over five-plus innings in a 12-8 victory over St. Louis. He struck out six.

The southpaw's first win in August came in rocky fashion as he surrendered homers to Masyn Winn and Nolan Gorman. Fried is mired in a rough stretch, carrying a 6.80 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 41 innings over his past eight starts dating back to the beginning of July. Despite his recent skid, Fried has still delivered an impressive debut season in New York, logging 149 innings with a 3.26 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over 25 starts.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly during Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Brewers.

The third baseman ended Quinn Priester's shutout effort by going deep to left field in the sixth inning, and Hayes added another run in the 11th on a sacrifice fly. He's struggled at the plate since being acquired by the Reds from the Pirates in late July, but Hayes has recorded a hit in four of his last six games while going 6-for-17 (.353) over that span.

Steer went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run during Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to Milwaukee.

Steer gave the Reds a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning on a deep shot to left-center field off Quinn Priester. Steer has logged at least one RBI in four of his last six games, and over that span he has gone 6-for-22 (.273) with five runs, two doubles, two home runs and nine RBI.

Marte went 2-for-5 with a solo homer during the Reds' 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

He made things interesting in the 11th inning by taking the second pitch he saw from Nick Mears deep to left field to reduce the Reds' deficit to one run. Marte has been hot at the plate as of late and is on a seven-game hitting streak, going 13-for-30 (.433) with five doubles, two home runs and nine RBI over that span.

La Sorsa (0-1) took the loss against the Brewers on Saturday after giving up a three-run home run in the 11th inning.

La Sorsa was brought up from Triple-A Louisville on Friday and tossed a scoreless inning during that contest. He was brought in for the 11th inning Saturday and tasked with keeping things tied at 3-3, but the game was blown wide open after his changeup to Andruw Monasterio was taken deep to left field. La Sorsa has yielded four home runs despite appearing in just six MLB games this season, which has inflated his ratios to a 10.80 ERA and 2.25 WHIP over 6.2 innings.
