A look at whats happening all around the majors Friday:---A-RODS FAREWELLAlex Rodriguez will play his final game in pinstripes when the Yankees host the Rays.

Happ for the major league lead with his 16th victory when Washington hosts Atlanta.

Mike Foltynewicz (5-5, 4.37) is up for the Braves.STARTING STRONGOrioles right-hander Dylan Bundy (5-3, 3.05) looks to provide Baltimore with another quality start in a game at San Francisco. In five outings since finally getting a shot in the big league rotation, the 23-year-old is 3-2 with a 3.00 ERA, including quality starts in his past two games despite limited pitch counts. Last time out, he struck out nine over six innings of two-run ball in a 10-2 win over the White Sox.

He returned to starting with five shutout innings against Boston on Aug. 6, and may be a pivotal piece for Los Angeles banged-up pitching staff down the stretch.
