Arizona rallied behind Nabil Crismatt's 6.1 innings of two earned runs and Taylor Rashi's multi-inning save to even the series with Texas. Ketel Marte stayed hot against the Rangers, driving in the go-ahead trio with a 7th-inning blast after Jorge Barrosa and Jordan Lawlar set the table with two early hits; Marte also logged a 120 mph exit-velocity double earlier, underscoring the D-backs' power surge.

Jordan Lawlar collected two more hits, showing real regression in the bat and forcing regular playing time discussion. Jake Leiter (Rangers) vies with Zac Gallen in a marquee finale as Arizona’s bullpen duo Crismatt/Rashi continues to stabilize late-inning work. A win would hand Arizona the series and sharpen fantasy rosters' focus on the Arizona lineup.

Ketel Marte delivered the go-ahead 7th-inning homer (25th) after a 115.4 mph shot with two on; the 120 mph first-inning ball was the hardest hit by a D-backs player this Statcast era, fueling a 5-3 win over Texas.

Crismatt worked 6.1 innings, two runs on seven hits with 66% strikes and soft contact. Rashi sealed it with a two-inning save, his second career save in his first two MLB games; Lawlar and Blaze Alexander added key hits.

Fantasy takeaway: Marte remains a power anchor; Crismatt is a viable streaming arm; Lawlar’s breakout hints at long-term upside, while Alexander offers sleeper value in deeper leagues.

Sept roster expansion accelerates a wave of rookies and returnees across MLB fantasy rosters. Mets promote Jonah Tong and Nolan McLean to help a six-man rotation down the stretch; Boston tab Payton Tolle to stabilize a rookie-heavy brood. Cincinnati’s Sal Stewart and Kansas City’s Carter Jensen arrive with multi-position upside, while Miami’s Connor Norby and Arizona’s Jordan Lawlar return from injuries and search for steady at-bats. The Reds also lean on Sal Stewart for spark while Perdomo’s extension with Arizona locks in infield predictability.

Risers collide with risk as first-timers settle in: Tong’s debut win over Miami signals potential multi-start value; Tolle impressed enough to stay in the rotation through September; Norby and Lawlar offer speculative upside in shallower formats; Ke’Bryan Hayes’ move (via trade context) and Perdomo’s extension shape the infield depth for late-season fantasy planning.
