Stewart went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader for Double-A Chattanooga.

Stewart bailed out the Lookouts, who were down to their final out before the 21-year-old hit a walk-off grand slam. He's handling his introduction to Double-A pitching with aplomb, going 11-for-28 (.393) with two home runs, four doubles, six RBI, four steals and eight runs through seven games.

Busch went 4-for-6 with a home run, two doubles, four total runs and three total RBI in a 16-0 rout of the Dodgers on Saturday.

As impressive as Busch's stat line was, it could have been even bigger had Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages not robbed him of what looked to be a grand slam in the third inning. Even with that bad luck, Busch put up an impressive display against the team that selected him in the first round of the 2019 First-Year Player Draft, collecting three extra-base hits, including his second long ball of the campaign. Busch's big performance lifted his season slash line to .300/.386/.540, and he's driven in nine runs through 16 games.

Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Twins.

The 25-year-old wrapped up the scoring on the afternoon with a mammoth two-run homer off Kody Funderburk in the sixth inning, a blast estimated at 421 feet after bouncing off the facing of the second deck in left field. Torkelson appears to have put his rough 2024 campaign firmly behind him, slashing .314/.419/.647 through 14 games this season with four homers and 10 RBI.

Mervis went 1-for-3 with one walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.

Mervis opened the scoring in the second inning when he took Trevor Williams deep to right field for a solo home run. Mervis has smacked homers in back-to-back games, and the 28-year-old first baseman is slashing .281/.333/.656 with five runs scored, four home runs and eight RBI across 36 plate appearances, though he's also struck out 14 times.

Aranda went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and two walks in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Atlanta.

Aranda was a force at the plate, reaching base in all five trips and driving in runs in the third, seventh and ninth innings. He's off to a scorching start, hitting .378 with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored across 44 plate appearances. The 26-year-old boasts a 95.7 mph average exit velocity this season and has only been limited by a platoon role, logging just five plate appearances against left-handed pitching.

Lowe has been working through an upper respiratory infection, but he's expected to remain in the lineup as the Nationals' designated hitter in Sunday's series finale against Miami, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Lowe was scratched from the lineup Friday due to an illness, but he returned to action as the Nationals' DH in Saturday's 7-6 loss and went 0-for-2 with two walks and two RBI. The 29-year-old will remain in the starting nine in a non-defensive role Sunday and hopes to return to his usual spot at first base for Monday's series opener against the Pirates.

Encarnacion-Strand is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Pirates on Saturday.

Encarnacion-Strand will get a rest day after going 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over his last two games. Noelvi Marte will make his first start of 2025 at third base while Jeimer Candelario shifts to first base.

Casas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

The lefty-hitting Casas will retreat to the bench Saturday with left-hander Martin Perez set to take the mound for Chicago. Romy Gonzalez will pick up a start at first base and bat leadoff.

Lowe (illness) collected three RBI with a bases-loaded, pinch-hit double in Friday's win over the Marlins.

The first baseman was held out of the starting lineup due to an illness, but Lowe looked plenty fit when he came to the plate in the eighth inning and put the Nationals in the lead for good with a two-bagger into the left-field corner off Anthony Bender. Through his first 13 games with Washington, the 29-year-old is slashing .261/.320/.543 with three homers and 12 RBI.

Burleson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Burleson is currently enjoying a five-game hitting streak, but the Cardinals will move him to the bench in preparation for a matchup against left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Luken Baker steps in as St. Louis' designated hitter, batting second.
