McMahon went 2-for-3 wit ha solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Orioles.

The third baseman took Tomoyuki Sugano deep in the second inning, one of three early homers by the Yankees as they take the battle for the AL East title with the Blue Jays right down to the wire. McMahon's long ball was just his fourth in 53 games in pinstripes but his 20th of the season, the fifth straight season he's reached that milestone and the sixth time overall in his career.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Orioles.

The reigning AL MVP got the Yankees on the board with a solo shot off Tomoyuki Sugano in the first inning, before adding a two-run single in the fifth. Judge has done everything he can in 2025 to repeat as MVP -- his 1.149 OPS is nearly 200 points clear of Cal Raleigh's .954, and he's second in the AL to the Seattle catcher in both homers (60 to 53) and RBI (125 to 114).

McCullers (hand) was activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

McCullers will make his return to the major-league roster with just two games left in the regular season. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since Sept. 12 with right hand soreness, and he was at one point described to be "highly unlikely" to return to action in September by general manager Dana Brown. McCullers has posted a 6.71 ERA and 1.85 WHIP with 57 strikeouts over 52.1 innings in 15 appearances, including 12 starts, with Houston this season. In a corresponding move, Nick Hernandez was designated for assignment Saturday.

Montgomery went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Nationals.

Mongomery has been on a tear to close out the season -- he's hit safely in nine straight games, going 13-for-35 (.371) in that span, while homering in back-to-back contests. Overall, the 23-year-old Montgomery is batting .239 with an .843 OPS, 21 homers, 55 RBI and 41 runs scored across 279 plate appearances in his rookie campaign.

Schlittler (4-3) picked up the win Saturday, scattering two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings in a 6-1 victory over the Orioles. He struck out nine.

The nine Ks were a career high for Schlittler in his 14th big-league start, and Baltimore didn't get a runner past second base over the right-hander's 97 pitches (63 strikes). He wraps up the regular season with a 2.96 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 84:31 K:BB in 73 innings, and while the Yankees have veteran options like Max Fried and Carlos Rodon available, Schlittler has made a strong case to have a significant role in the team's postseason rotation plans.

Mayo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Yankees.

The rookie spoiled a combined shutout bid for the Orioles' AL East rivals when he took Paul Blackburn deep in the eighth inning. Mayo has a mediocre .694 OPS over 291 plate appearances on the season, but the 23-year-old is ending the campaign on a high note as he stakes a claim to the starting first base job in 2026, batting .410 (16-for-39) over his last 14 games with four of his 11 homers on the year.

Sugano (10-10) took the loss Saturday as the Orioles fell 6-1 to the Yankees, giving up four runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- over 4.1 innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

The 35-year-old righty tossed 48 of 73 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, but Sugano may have been catching too much of the plate -- Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Ryan McMahon all took him deep in the first two innings. Sugano lost his last five decisions to put his first North American season in the books, with his last win coming Aug. 14. Over 157 innings for Baltimore, he posted a 4.64 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 106:36 K:BB.

Montero didn't factor into the decision Saturday against Boston, allowing one run on five hits across 4.1 innings. He struck out seven.

While Montero had a short leash Saturday, it was a strong bounce-back outing for the right-hander, after he gave up three runs in three innings while walking four against Atlanta his last time out. The 25-year-old Montero will finish the regular season at 5-3 with a 4.37 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 72:31 K:BB across 90.2 innings.

Aranada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Rays' 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.

The Rays struggled to generate any offense in Saturday's loss, though Aranda supplied the team's only run with a solo homer off Yariel Rodriguez in the sixth inning. Aranda has belted a home run in each of the two games he's played in since returning from the IL on Friday and is up to 14 on the year. He has an .883 OPS with 55 runs, 22 doubles and 56 RBI across 417 plate appearances this season.

Kirk went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Toronto's 5-1 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Kirk -- who entered Saturday's tilt having gone 0-for-20 with one RBI across the last six games -- gave the Blue Jays a four-run lead in the seventh inning with a 432-foot solo shot to left field. The 26-year-old catcher is up to 13 home runs on the season, which is as many as he tallied across the 2023 and 2024 campaigns combined. Even with his recent struggles at the plate, Kirk is enjoying a strong season in which he's slashing .278/.345/.404 with 43 runs, 17 doubles and 70 RBI across 501 plate appearances.
