Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN
Twins' Luke Keaschall: Finishes homer shy of cycle
Keaschall went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Rangers.
Keaschall spearheaded Minnesota's offensive explosion against Jacob deGrom. His two-run triple capped the biggest portion of the Twins' six-run second inning, and he subsequently scored on a wild pitch before adding an RBI double in the fourth. Keaschall singled in the sixth and later scored on Kody Clemens' two-run homer, leaving him a home run shy of the cycle. It was the second four-hit performance of his career, with his first coming Sept. 4, 2025. Keaschall is ending the regular season on a strong note, as he's hitting .305 with an .822 OPS across 21 games since the beginning of September.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Collects three hits, three RBI
Turang went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Cardinals.
Turang contributed throughout the night before delivering the decisive hit in Milwaukee's four-run eighth inning. With the bases loaded and the game tied 4-4, he singled through the left side to score Jackson Chourio and David Hamilton, putting the Brewers ahead for good. Turang also collected two doubles earlier in the game, giving him two multi-hit performances over his last three contests. The star second baseman is ending the regular season on a sizzling note, hitting .368 with a 1.076 OPS in 22 games since the beginning of September.

Michael Arroyo 2B | SEA
Mariners' Michael Arroyo: Registers steal in loss
Arroyo went 2-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Angels.
Arroyo has hit safely in just five of his 13 games in the majors, but three of those instances have included multiple hits. The rookie is batting .310 with an .883 OPS, one home run, two steals, four RBI, four runs scored and two doubles over 35 plate appearances. Consistency is still a work in progress, but Arroyo is poised to compete for an everyday job in the not-too-distant future.

Christian Moore 2B | LAA
Angels' Christian Moore: Blasts homer in win
Moore went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.
Moore has gone 7-for-23 (.304) with eight RBI over his last seven games. The infielder has also struck out nine times in that span, but he has turned things around after a slump in mid-September. For the season, he's hitting just .186 with a .516 OPS, two homers, 18 RBI, four runs scored, four doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 139 plate appearances. With a 33.8 percent strikeout rate in the majors this year, Moore has failed to demonstrate a more patient approach at the plate, which has kept his overall offense limited.
