Williams went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Angels.

Williams contributed in the high-scoring affair, logging a pair of singles and scoring twice. The 27-year-old has put together a solid September, slashing .273/.322/.491 with two homers, four RBI, eight runs and a stolen base over 19 contests. On the year, the shortstop is hitting .265/.304/.427 with four homers, 16 RBI, 27 runs and a stolen base across 87 games.

Kuroda-Grauer went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Angels.

Kuroda-Grauer came up empty in his first MLB game since July 20 after recovering from surgery for a ruptured testicle. The 23-year-old has impressed in a small sample with the Athletics, slashing .403/.422/.565 with a homer, four RBI and eight runs in 64 plate appearances. Kuroda-Grauer started Tuesday's contest at second base and figures to continue seeing action at the keystone over the club's final five games of the regular season.

Freeland (4-11) took the loss after allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Freeland's struggles continue, as he's allowed 12 earned runs on 23 hits over a total of 10.2 innings in his last three outings. The left-hander needed 73 pitches to complete three frames Tuesday, but at least he didn't allow a homer after giving up five long balls in his previous two starts. He's lined up to make his final start of the season Sunday on the road against the White Sox.

Soroka (9-5) earned the win after allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven innings in Tuesday's 7-2 victory over the Rockies.

The Diamondbacks needed a strong outing from Soroka to keep their playoff chances alive, and the veteran delivering by fanning nine -- his highest mark since April 10, when he struck out 10. He's now allowed just one earned run in his last two starts, posting a 15:2 K:BB across 12 innings in that span. He's expected to make his final start of the season Sunday against the Padres.

Witt went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 14-11 loss to the White Sox.

Witt sprayed a trio of hits, his second three-hit effort over the past three games. In 19 September contests, the star shortstop is slashing .268/.369/.394 with two homers, five RBI, 11 runs and seven stolen bases. On the year, Witt is hitting .283/.362/.444 with 18 homers, 54 RBI, 88 runs and 43 stolen bases across 138 games.

Eovaldi (11-10) took the loss and was charged with his first blown save after allowing three runs on three hits and a walk over one inning in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Mets. He did not record a strikeout.

Eovaldi entered to begin the sixth with Texas protecting a 3-2 lead but couldn't hold the advantage. Brett Baty doubled and Marcus Semien reached before Francisco Alvarez delivered a two-run double to put New York ahead 4-3. Luis Torrens followed with a sacrifice fly that brought Alvarez home and completed the three-run inning. Eovaldi needed 29 pitches to record three outs, and this rough appearance increased his ERA to 4.27. This was Eovaldi's first time allowing more than one earned run since the end of July, and he will continue to pitch in relief down the stretch.

Fedde is slated to pitch in bulk relief behind opener Bryan Hudson during Wednesday's game in Kansas City, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Hudson is likely to cover the first inning or two before handing the ball over to Fedde, who has been part of the rotation for most of the season but has frequently moved between starting and bulk-relief roles. Over 16 appearances out of the bullpen in 2026, Fedde has logged a 3.95 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 5.9 K-BB% across 66 innings.

Gonsolin allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 2.2 innings of relief Tuesday against the White Sox.

Working out of the bullpen, Gonsolin got through the fifth and sixth innings unscathed before imploding in a five-run seventh frame, surrendering a two-run homer to Munetaka Murakami. In his debut with the Royals and first big-league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure in August 2025, the right-hander logged 63 pitches (35 strikes). Gonsolin is likely to remain in the bullpen for the final five games of 2026, but he could compete for a role in the starting rotation in 2027 if Kansas City picks up his team option.

Gore didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Mets after giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings.

Gore fell an inning shy of a quality start, but this abbreviated outing was still a step in the right direction since he had given up at least three runs while pitching four or fewer innings in each of his previous three starts. Even with this solid showing, Gore has an elevated 5.91 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through five outings since the beginning of September.

Senga earned the save after striking out two over a hitless and scoreless ninth inning in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers. He also hit a batter.

Senga was handed a three-run advantage after Nate Lavender and Dedniel Nunez combined for two perfect innings ahead of him. The right-hander issued no walks and allowed no hits while needing 19 pitches (11 strikes) to finish the job, striking out two of the four batters he faced. The save was Senga's eighth of the season, though his ERA remains elevated at 7.34.
