He walked one and struck out seven. Will Vest got the final two for his second save.

9/19/24 10:10 AM - Yankees' Anthony Rizzo plays hero in clincher, then sets very high bar for postseason. Anthony Rizzo wasn't feeling comfortable at the plate for two weeks and the Yankees first baseman looked it batting .128 with no RBI in 12 games through Tuesday. Before Wednesday night's game, Rizzo switched some things up and, presto, his slump was over ... at least for a night. Rizzo was the star of the Yankees' playoff clincher driving in both runs in a 2-1 victory over the Mariners, including the tie-breaker with a 10th-inning double. “I felt like made some good adjustments in the cage and I felt like I was in a good slot, so it's just keeping that,” said Rizzo, who is batting .219 for the season with eight homers, 33 RBI and a .615 OPS in 85 games.

9/19/24 10:00 AM - Red Sox Projected $90 Million Slugger Predicted To Win Surprising Award By Insider. The Boston Red Sox made some shrewd trades before the 2024 season, and none have worked out better than the one they made with the St. Louis Cardinals. On Dec. 8, the Red Sox sent pitchers Nick Robertson and Victor Santos to the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder Tyler O'Neill. O'Neill had a track record of success at the big-league level but with too many outfielders on their roster, the Cardinals felt they had to cut him loose headed into a contract year. Since then, O'Neill has been one of the catalysts of the Red Sox's offense, leading the team in home runs and coming through in several clutch situations.

With only nine games remaining in the season, the 2024 White Sox have won a grand total of 36 games. In particular, the White Sox's interpretation of the data available to them has been described by a former employee as “comical” as “no one knew what was what”, as reported by Brittany Ghiroli and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. One of the worst applications of the data they have gathered has been in their outfield positioning instructions — with former member of the team Tommy Pham attesting to this.

Rafael Devers' shoulders started acting up, the bottom half of the order has been a black hole, and lately, even spark plug Jarren Duran has had his scuffles.

The MLB Postseason is just around the corner and the Yankees can clinch a spot in the playoffs with just one more win. There is not much to worry about for the American League's best squad but there are a few small issues to work out before the winner-take-all portion of the schedule begins. For instance, manager Aaron Boone took a page from Aaron Judge to explain away Giancarlo Stanton's latest absence.

Willi Castro (OF/3B - MIN)

9/18/24 5:27 AM - Willi Castro hits a 2-run homer, Twins down Guardians 4-1 to stay locked into AL wild-card spot. Willi Castro hit a two-run homer, Matt Wallner had two RBIs and the Minnesota Twins bounced back from a crushing loss in the series opener to beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-1 on Tuesday night and stay locked into the final AL wild card. Castro connected in the eighth inning, and both of Wallner's RBI singles came off Gavin Williams (3-10), who has just one win in his last seven starts. The Twins entered with a 1 1/2-game lead over Detroit for the last playoff berth, and they kept it with solid defense, strong relief and Castro's big swing one night after blowing a 3-0 lead on Monday.

9/18/24 5:17 AM - Juan Soto checks off multiple milestones — and looks to free agency — as Yankees near playoff berth. Juan Soto is only 25 years old, and he's already homered in every major league ballpark. The slugger accomplished that feat — and checked off a few other milestones — when he drilled a Bryan Woo fastball the other way in Seattle on Tuesday. The Bombers, now 88-63, can clinch a playoff berth with another win in Seattle on Wednesday.

Corbin Burnes (P - BAL)

9/18/24 5:00 AM - Baltimore Orioles Outfielder Receives Strong Rookie Grade. The Baltimore Orioles are limping into the playoffs, as they haven't played very well in quite some time now. With October right around the corner, the Orioles should still be a playoff team, but the franchise can't have too much confidence that they are going to make any noise in the playoffs as of now. While it isn't overly shocking that the pitching staff outside of Corbin Burnes and Zach Eflin has struggled for the most part, it is surprising to see that the lineup has not done well in the second half of the season. Baltimore's lineup is filled with young and talented players, and while they were regarded as one of the best lineups in baseball for most of the season, that hasn't been the case of late.
