Arozarena went 3-for-5 with two homers and four total RBI in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Athletics.

Arozarena had a huge day at Sutter Health Park, including a two-run homer in the third inning and a solo blast in the seventh frame. The left fielder has swung a hot bat in September, slashing .298/.393/.596 with four homers, 13 RBI, 11 runs and two stolen bases in 12 contests. While 2026 hasn't gone as planned for the Mariners, Arozarena has delivered a strong campaign with a .276/.373/.476 slash line, 25 homers, 75 RBI, 99 runs and 22 stolen bases across 142 games.

Gelof went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI, two additional runs scored and two walks in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mariners.

Gelof opened the scoring with a solo homer that left his bat at 106.4 mph down the left-field line in the first inning. The 26-year-old had been in a mini-funk entering Sunday, going 3-for-27 (.111) over his past seven contests. On the year, Gelof is slashing .252/.319/.461 with 18 homers, 46 RBI, 68 runs and 14 stolen bases in 99 games.

Butler went 2-for-4 with two homers, four total RBI and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mariners.

Butler blasted off twice, driving a solo shot in the first frame and then emerging as the hero with a walk-off two-run homer. Sunday marked the outfielder's first multi-homer effort of the season, with 11 of his 16 long balls coming after the All-Star break. Overall, Butler is slashing .230/.321/.387 with 58 RBI, 57 runs and 10 stolen bases in 142 contests.

Manager Joe Espada said Sunday that he hopes Correa (ankle) will play "a game or two" with Triple-A Sugar Land this week, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It will be the final week of the Triple-A regular season, so the Astros are hoping to get Correa into some minor-league action just ahead of the finish line. The veteran infielder has been sidelined since early May due to ankle surgery and said at the start of September that he had been sprinting at 95 percent effort, and it appears he's continued to progress in his rehab program. Rejoining the AL West-leading Astros during the final week of the regular season next week appears plausible for Correa.

Munoz (5-6) blew the save and took the loss Sunday against the Athletics. He allowed two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.

With a one-run cushion, Munoz recorded a pair of outs in the eighth inning but was unable to secure the victory in the ninth frame, serving up a walk-off two-run homer to Lawrence Butler. Sunday marked the hard-throwing right-hander's 10th blown save, as he's endured a down 2026 campaign. In 55 innings, Munoz owns a 4.25 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 86:23 K:BB with 27 saves.

Miller did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits, five walks and a hit-by-pitch over five innings against the Athletics. He struck out five.

After allowing a pair of solo homers in the first inning, Miller was able to work four scoreless frames the rest of the way, though his control was poor. The right-hander has stumbled of late, going 0-4 with a 7.29 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 32:21 K:BB over his past seven outings spanning 33.1 innings. On the year, Miller owns a 4-9 record with a 4.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 106:34 K:BB across 107.1 innings (20 appearances). His next start is tentatively lined up for next weekend on the road against the Rockies.

Lopez did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Mariners. He struck out three.

Lopez worked two scoreless frames before running into trouble in the third and fourth innings, departing at 102 pitches (63 strikes). While Sunday's showing was subpar, the southpaw has been much better in the second half, posting a 3.34 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 64:22 K:BB across 59.1 innings (11 starts) since the All-Star break. With an overall 6-4 record, 5.02 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 107:56 K:BB in 114.2 innings (25 appearances), Lopez is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Saturday against the Guardians.

Chapman worked around two walks to earn the save Sunday against the Royals, striking out three in a hitless and scoreless ninth inning.

Chapman let the possible tying run get to the plate following a pair of free passes, but he punched out three in a row to hang on for the save. The star southpaw continues to roll, having not blown a save since June 28 against the Yankees. He has a 1.95 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB over 50.2 innings, collecting 34 saves in 36 opportunities.

Cameron took a no-decision Sunday against Boston, allowing one run on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four.

Cameron appeared to be unfazed by Sunday's contest being pushed back almost two hours due to inclement weather, holding the Red Sox in check for six frames. The southpaw has turned his campaign around in a big way since the All-Star break, producing a 2.42 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 58:20 K:BB over his last 70.2 innings. He'll look to further build on a season 3.84 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 149:52 K:BB across 166.1 innings in his next appearance in Pittsburgh.

Tolle took a no-decision Sunday against the Royals, allowing four hits and one walk in six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Tolle showed no ill effects of Sunday's first pitch being delayed nearly two hours due to rain, scattering four singles across six shutout frames. The left-hander has pitched at least 5.1 innings while yielding two runs or fewer in six of his last eight starts, and he notably fired an immaculate inning to open Sunday's outing. He's set to bring a 3.02 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 166:38 K:BB over 143 innings into his next appearance against the Rays in pitcher-friendly Tampa Bay.
