Carrigg went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

Carrigg tallied his second career two-steal effort and was actually caught trying to swipe a third in the ninth inning. The 24-year-old is finishing his rookie campaign strong, collecting 10 hits over his past five games with three homers, seven RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases in that span. On the season, he's slashing .272/.337/.467 with 10 homers, 46 RBI, 46 runs scored and 11 steals across 340 plate appearances.

Munoz earned the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rockies, allowing one hit while striking out two without a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

Munoz was called on to close out a one-run lead in the ninth inning and worked around a leadoff single to slam the door. The 27-year-old has held opponents scoreless in seven of eight September appearances, converting four of five save opportunities over that stretch. For the year, he's 28-for-38 in save chances with a 4.11 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 89:23 K:BB across 57 innings.

Langford went 2-for-2 with three walks, one RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Langford was patient at the plate, scoring after drawing a walk and stealing second in the second inning before driving in a run on a bases-loaded walk in the sixth. It was a needed performance for the 24-year-old, who entered the game hitting just .153 over 15 September contests. On the year, he's slashing .242/.336/.435 with 17 homers, 41 RBI, 62 runs scored and 14 stolen bases across 438 plate appearances.

Rocker did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Rocker opened with four scoreless frames before allowing a run in the fifth, throwing 48 of 76 pitches for strikes with only six whiffs. It's clear the Rangers are being cautious with the 26-year-old down the stretch, as he hasn't reached the 80-pitch mark in any of his three September outings. He'll carry a 4.47 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 134:59 K:BB across 143 innings this season into one final home matchup with the Mets next week.

The Rockies plan to activate Quintana (elbow) from the 60-day injured list to start Saturday's game against the Mariners in Colorado, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

After completing two rehab starts and checking out fine following his bullpen session Tuesday, Quintana has received the green light to make his first appearance for the Rockies since May 24. The veteran southpaw is likely to be operating with a limited workload Saturday, given that he built up to only 2.1 innings and 47 pitches during his rehab assignment. Prior to landing on the shelf due to a left elbow sprain, Quintana went 2-3 with a 5.27 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 41 innings in nine starts.

Cease (11-6) took the loss against the Rangers on Friday, allowing four runs (one earned) on three hits and six walks with three strikeouts over 2.2 innings.

Cease allowed four runs in the second inning, three of which crossed home after a throw by Ernie Clement hit a baserunner. Bad luck aside, the 30-year-old Cease threw just 36 of 74 pitches for strikes and has now issued 11 walks over his last two outings while failing to pitch beyond the fifth frame in any of his past three starts. He owns a 2.40 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 239:78 K:BB across 169 innings this season and will try to finish what has been a stellar campaign strong in a road matchup with the Orioles next week.

McGonigle went 2-for-5 with a triple and four RBI in Friday's 11-8 win over the White Sox.

McGonigle drove in a run on a single in the third inning before lacing a bases-clearing triple in the fifth. The 22-year-old has now tallied two hits in five of his past seven games, driving in seven runs and scoring five times in that span. He's slashing .277/.378/.428 with 17 homers, 69 RBI, 95 runs scored and 12 steals across 674 plate appearances and is the favorite to win American League Rookie of the Year as the season nears its end.

Drohan struck out two and allowed no hits and one walk over 1.2 scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning victory over the Orioles.

After making starts in all but one of his 13 appearances from the start of June through Sept. 12, Drohan has now worked out of the bullpen in his last two outings. With the Brewers having pared down their rotation as the regular season winds down, Drohan is expected to continue prepping for a relief role heading into the playoffs.

Vargas went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's 11-8 loss to the Tigers.

Vargas drove in a run on a double in the first inning before launching a two-run blast in the third. The 27-year-old has now hit safely in seven of his past eight games, and he's driven in eight runs over his last five. For the year, he's slashing .249/.357/.477 with 32 homers, 87 RBI, 99 runs scored and 19 steals across 671 plate appearances.

Sandlin did not factor into the decision in Friday's 11-8 loss to the Tigers, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts over four innings.

Sandlin was spotted an early lead but was unable to record an out in a three-run fifth inning. The 25-year-old threw 48 of 74 pitches for strikes with nine whiffs in just his second start since the All-Star break. He owns a bloated 6.29 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB across 34.1 major-league innings this season and lines up to make one more start on the road against Kansas City next week.
