September 11 Roster Update: Four New Diamonds, Eight New Golds, and a Market Shakeup
The September 11, 2026 MLB The Show 26 roster update is here, and it's a big one. SDS delivered a full attribute pass with 767 card rating changes—294 upgrades and 240 downgrades—plus 42 position changes and seven fresh faces added to the game. If you've been tracking ShowZone's free Roster Update Predictor, you had a head start on some of these moves, but the scope of today's changes will still rattle portfolios and rotation decisions alike.
Four Players Cross Into Diamond
The headline story is four Gold cards punching their ticket to Diamond rarity. Jesús Luzardo leads the pack with a three-point leap to 87 overall after the Phillies' lefty saw his H/9 vs R spike by five points. Jackson Chourio (Brewers) and Michael Harris II (Braves) both land at 85 overall, with Chourio gaining seven points of Contact R and Harris adding six Contact R plus five Clutch. Elly De La Cruz rounds out the new Diamonds at 85 overall, fueled by a massive 12-point Contact L boost that makes him far more balanced at the plate.
Each of these upgrades resets the card's price floor and will likely spark immediate market spikes. If you sniped any of these Golds below their old quick-sell value, congratulations—you're sitting on profit.
Eight Silver-to-Gold Jumps Reshape the Mid-Tier
The Gold tier welcomed eight new members, headlined by Sal Stewart (Reds), who vaulted from 78 to 83 overall with double-digit contact gains across the board. Veteran Alex Bregman finds new life with the Cubs at 81 overall, while Oneil Cruz (Pirates) and Randy Arozarena (Mariners) both hit 81 thanks to significant Contact L improvements. On the mound, Cade Cavalli (Nationals) surged from 76 to 81 with a ten-point H/9 vs R jump, and Mason Montgomery (Pirates) cracked Gold with a 15-point H/9 vs R spike.
These Silver-to-Gold crossings create the same quick-sell reset dynamic on a smaller scale—expect volatile pricing as flippers and collectors scramble to adjust.
Notable Downgrades and Market Crashes
The flip side hit hard for a few big names. Julio Rodríguez tumbled from Diamond to Gold (87→82), shedding ten points of Contact L and losing his premium tier status. Trea Turner (Phillies) dropped from 82 to 78, falling back to Silver with double-digit contact and clutch losses. Munetaka Murakami (White Sox) also fell from Gold to Silver (80→76). Each downgrade sends the card's quick-sell floor—and market price—crashing, so if you're holding any of these, act fast or brace for losses.
What It Means for Your Squad
With four new Diamonds and eight new Golds, today's update injects fresh budget options into Diamond Dynasty lineups while punishing anyone who bet on yesterday's elites. Check your binder, scan your investments, and adjust accordingly—this one moved the market in a hurry.
