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 just a little more than the 10-day minimum.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-6 loss to San Diego.

After hitting a grand slam in Friday's loss to the Padres, the veteran infielder launched a two-run homer off Michael King in the first inning. Devers has racked up eight home runs over his last 11 games, slashing .341/.471/1.024 with 20 RBI and 11 runs scored in 51 plate appearances during that span. On the campaign, he's slashing .258/.340/.525 with 98 RBI, 88 runs scored and 37 long balls across 633 plate appearances.

Rumfield went 3-for-5 with a double Saturday against the Tigers.

Rumfield tallied a double in the first inning to start his fourth multi-hit performance in his last eight games. Most of that damage came during the team's homestand ending Sept. 6, but he is still hitting .406 with four RBI, six runs, three doubles, a triple and a home run across his last eight contests. Rumfield is wrapping up a solid rookie season, as he's maintained a 124 wRC+ across 583 plate appearances.

Busch went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

Busch was eventually lifted for pinch hitter Seiya Suzuki in the eighth inning, but not before he lifted his 19th home run of the season. The first baseman now has two long balls in 11 games this month to go along with a .745 OPS. Overall, Busch has a .741 OPS, which is a step back from the career-best .866 OPS he registered during his 2025 breakout campaign, when he also launched 34 home runs in the regular season.

Smith started at designated hitter and went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Texas.

Smith had his contract was selected from Triple-A Reno on Saturday, and was immediately inserted back into the lineup. His third-inning single knocked in the Diamondbacks' first run and was his lone plate appearance, as Ildemaro Vargas pinch hit for him in the fifth inning against left-hander Robert Garcia. Smith could get regular turns as a DH against righties, against whom Arizona ranks next-to-last in the league with a .684 OPS.
