Olson went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a two-run home run during Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies.

Olson tied the game at 2-2 with an RBI single in the seventh, and after the Phillies scored seven runs in the eighth, he made the score look a little more respectable with a two-run blast in the ninth. Olson is up to 39 home runs on the season, and one more long ball would mark the second time in his major-league career that he's hit at least 40 homers in a campaign. He has an .831 OPS with four steals and 85 RBI across 650 plate appearances this season.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

Making his second straight start, Torkelson delivered his 23rd home run of the season in the fifth inning. The slugging first baseman has seen his playing time trend downward lately, as he appeared off the bench in each of Detroit's previous three games before starting Saturday and Sunday. Torkelson still offers significant power potential when he's in the lineup, but his current role makes him hard to trust for fantasy managers.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters after Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins that Freeman (knee) will be out of the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Reds, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Freeman went 0-for-8 with a strikeout across his last two games, and he hasn't been himself at the plate as he works through a lingering right knee injury. The veteran first baseman may sit out additional games over the final two weeks of the regular season in order to be in better shape for the playoffs. Enrique Hernandez figures to see the bulk of the reps at first base in games that Freeman doesn't play in.

Devers (abdomen) is expected to undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Devers was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday due to a core muscle injury, something that has reportedly bothered the 29-year-old slugger for a number of years, though he could be back at full health for the start of training camp. Devers will finish the 2026 regular season with an .865 OPS with 37 home runs and 98 RBI across 633 plate appearances.

Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a double and a solo home run during Sunday's 8-1 win over the Orioles.

Guerrero's lack of power at the plate has been one of the bigger disappointments of the 2026 season, with all eight of his home runs prior to Sunday coming on the road. However, the 27-year-old first baseman bucked that trend by taking Trevor Rogers deep to left field, which was sandwiched between solo homers from George Springer and Kazuma Okamoto. Guerrero also tied a season high with four hits, and perhaps this latest outing will be a sign of things to come for the slugger over the final two weeks of the regular season.

Aranda went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 14-4 win over the Astros.

Aranda reached 20 homers in the fourth inning before going deep again in the seventh. The performance continued a strong September for the 28-year-old, who owns a 1.058 OPS with seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI in 11 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .278/.362/.438 with 21 long balls, 89 RBI and 71 runs scored across 630 plate appearances.

Lewis was removed from Sunday's game against the Guardians due to left shoulder soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Lewis went 0-for-2 before being replaced at first base for the top of the sixth inning. The severity of the injury isn't clear, so the 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

The Giants placed Devers on the 60-day injured list Sunday due to a core muscle injury.

The veteran slugger has apparently been playing through the injury for much of the season, per Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News, and he won't push through it further and is now scheduled to be evaluated more in-depth Monday. The injury didn't appear to affect Devers' production, as he rebounded from a slow start to finish the year with 37 homers, 98 RBI, 88 runs and an .865 OPS in 148 games.

Pasquantino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

The first baseman will receive Sunday off after a run of 12 straight starts, during which he posted a .191/.264/.383 slash line with three doubles, two homers and seven RBI. Salvador Perez will take over at first base while Jac Caglianone (elbow) returns from a six-game absence as the designated hitter against Boston lefty Payton Tolle.

The Red Sox reinstated Contreras from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting at first base Sunday against the Royals, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The veteran slugger is ready to rejoin the Red Sox after going 2-for-7 with two RBI and three strikeouts during a two-game rehab assignment. Contreras landed on the shelf due to a left hamstring strain Aug. 31, but he ended up missing little more than the 10-day minimum.
