The Athletics battled at Fenway but soured a late lead as Red Sox rally for a 5-4 walk-off in 10 innings. Mason Barnett sparkled early, while Oakland capitalized on a bases-loaded sequence to take a 4-2 edge. Boston answered in the sixth, then pulled ahead in the tenth behind timely hits and a late rally, capped by a Sogard grounder that beat the spread and delivered the walk-off.

Relievers swung the pendulum after a rough middle frame, but the Sox saved their best for last, pushing across a winning run with two outs in extras. Fantasy managers should note who stayed hot in this back-and-forth, particularly the A’s lineup that produced multiple RBI via Hernaiz, Soderstrom, and Wilson before the breakdown in the late innings.

Blue Jays relief corps has quietly carried the load, lifting its season ERA to 3.98 (13th in MLB) after a September rally that moved them from 17th. Over the last 12 games, they’ve yielded just 8 runs in 39 2/3 innings for a 1.82 ERA, second to the Athletics at 1.70. Toronto also hit a franchise milestone, reaching 3,850 all-time regular-season wins with a 6-5 victory over Tampa before slipping to 3,850-3,851 after a loss. Meanwhile, Anthony Santander began a rehab cameo in Buffalo, going 0-for-4 in seven innings out in left field.

That bullpen surge comes with names like Louis Varland and Yariel Rodriguez figuring prominently in the innings load. The veteran-heavy stretch is a reminder that late-inning depth can swing fantasy outcomes and betting lines alike, especially as Toronto seeks to stretch a slim margin of error through September.

On the farm, Santander’s rehab assignment with the Buffalo Bisons (Triple-A) is a quiet check-in, a sign that an impact bat could return to the majors soon. The RailRiders (Yankees’ affiliate) were the visiting side in that rehab context, underscoring how near-term roster moves can ripple through fantasy rosters as players move between levels.
