Nick Kurtz (thumb) gets night off versus lefty

Jung remained in the game to run the bases for himself and to play the field, but was lifted for a pinch hitter the next time his spot in the order came around. He’ll likely head for X-rays to rule out any potential fractures. Look for the Rangers to provide an update on his status after the game.

Simpson remained in the game for another inning but was ultimately removed. He’ll presumably head for imaging just to rule out any potential fractures. Expect the Rays to provide an update on the 25-year-old speedster’s status as soon as more information becomes available.

They’re still awaiting the results of the MRI exam, but the Red Sox aren’t optimistic that Gasper will be able to return at any point during the postseason. He suffered the injury while swinging the bat during the first game of Friday’s doubleheader against the Cubs.

With Tyler Zuber (elbow) heading to the injured list, González will get another chance to show the Marlins what he can do over the final weekend of the 2026 season. The 24-year-old righty has logged a 4.63 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and an 18/11 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings in nine appearances at Triple-A Jacksonville this season.

The issue isn’t believed to be major and as of now there are no plans for the 31-year-old hurler to go under the knife. Zuber made 44 appearances out of the Marlins’ bullpen this season, registering a 5.67 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a 42/11 K/BB ratio across 39 2/3 innings of work.

With Camilo Doval joining the Giants’ active roster on Friday, someone needed to go to clear a spot and Perdomo wound up as the odd man out. The 24-year-old southpaw posted a 3.65 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 14/7 K/BB ratio over 24 2/3 innings in five appearances (four starts) for the Giants down the stretch.

Alonso hit a 407-foot homer off Brendan Beck in the third, extending a streak in which his last seven hits had been homers. He broke that up with a single in the fourth, but he went on to homer again in the seventh anyway. That one left the bat at 113 mph and was projected at 471 feet. If that holds up, it’d be tied for the second longest in his career, behind a 489-footer he hit as a rookie. Alonso is up to 43 homers, giving him two more than Yordan Alvarez and Junior Caminero for the AL lead. He’s tied Alec Burleson for first in the majors with 113 RBI, putting him 11 in front of Alvarez for the AL lead.

Rogers departed after just 55 pitches, costing him an easy win in a 7-1 game, but he had no complaints after the game. He’ll take a 10-11 record and a 4.03 ERA into free agency this winter. His final 20 starts produced a 2.90 ERA and a 119/21 K/BB in 121 innings.

It was Beavers’ first career slam and eighth homer in 108 games this year. His stock has taken a hit with his lack of success offensively and defensively this year, and he probably shouldn’t be penciled into Baltimore’s 2027 outfield at this point. He’s hitting .229/.308/.367 with two games to go.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 25-year-old right-hander. Cornielle made 21 appearances across four minor league levels in 2026, registering a 3.39 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and an 89/48 K/BB ratio over 85 innings of work.
