Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run home run during the Yankees' 6-4 win over the Mets on Friday.

Bellinger gave the Yankees a 4-1 lead in the second inning after taking Nolan McLean deep to right-center field for a three-run homer. It was Bellinger's second long ball in three games and 14th of the year. The veteran outfielder is heating up at the plate at the right time for the Yankees and has gone 20-for-53 (.377) with two home runs, eight RBI and 12 runs scored over his last 13 games, recording at least one hit in 12 of those contests.

Tucker went 3-for-3 with a home run, a triple, five RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Marlins.

Tucker got the Dodgers on the board with a sacrifice fly in the third inning before launching a grand slam in the seventh. The 29-year-old has delivered back-to-back three-hit efforts for the first time in an otherwise disappointing campaign, going deep in both contests with four extra-base hits overall. On the year, he's slashing .230/.326/.375 with 14 homers, 65 RBI, 78 runs scored and 10 steals across 567 plate appearances.

Greene went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.

Greene needed just his 20th home run of the season to record his first career cycle in the majors. Now that he's healthy following a few weeks on the injured list with a strained hamstring, the star outfielder is heating up at the plate. In nine games since returning, Greene is batting .361 with three home runs and 13 RBI, and he once again looks like Detroit's best offensive player.

Clark went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Rockies. He also stole a base.

Clark showed off his combination of power and speed by launching his third home run of the season and recording his fourth stolen base. It was the first time in his MLB career that the rookie has gone deep and swiped a base in the same game. Clark did plenty of both in the minors, so he should have many more performances like Friday as he settles in at the top level.

Mesa went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Astros.

Mesa got the Rays on the board with a solo shot in the fifth inning before adding a stolen base in the seventh. The 25-year-old is now riding a modest seven-game hitting streak, delivering three homers, six RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .250/.316/.500 with 13 long balls, 28 RBI, 28 runs scored and nine steals across 214 plate appearances.

Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 12-2 win over the Pirates.

Suzuki and Alex Bregman combined for six of Chicago's 16 hits to lead the team to a comfortable victory. The slugging outfielder came into the contest mired in a bit of a slump. as he started September going just 3-for-30 across his first nine games. Suzuki quickly doubled that hit total Friday, and he should remain an offensive engine for the Cubs as they head toward the postseason.

The Dodgers selected De Paula's contract from Double-A Tulsa on Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

After slashing .303/.401/.547 with 27 homers, 104 RBI, 106 runs and 31 steals across 588 plate appearances at Tulsa, De Paula will skip Triple-A and move directly to the majors. With Shohei Ohtani (knee/biceps) moving to the injured list, De Paula is expected to take over as the Dodgers' primary designated hitter, though he could also make a few starts in the outfield if needed. Eric Lauer (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list to free up a spot on the 40-man roster.

Buxton will undergo season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his right hip Sept. 18, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

Buxton has been on the 10-day injured list since late August with a hip injury that's bothered him off-and-on throughout the 2026 campaign. It's positive news that the surgery is arthroscopic, as that should give Buxton plenty of time to recover before spring training. Buxton will finish this season with a .254/.319/.511 batting line with 25 home runs and seven stolen bases over 93 games. With Buxton officially done for the season, Walker Jenkins will continue to man center field for Minnesota.

Larnach is absent from Friday's starting lineup against the Guardians.

The left-handed-hitting Larnach will sit as the Guardians send out southpaw Parker Messick to the mound Friday. Austin Martin will move over to left field and bat eighth for Minnesota.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that Santander (shoulder) will remain on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo through the middle of next week, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

That means he'll stay with Buffalo through the end of the Blue Jays' homestand. Santander could conceivably be activated after that for the start of Toronto's road trip, though nothing is set in stone. He's coming back from February left shoulder surgery.
