Alonso went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 7-5 victory over the Brewers.

Alonso took Brad Boxberger deep for a three-run shot in the top of the sixth frame, narrowing the Brewers' lead to 4-3. The long ball was his 37th of the year and sixth of September over 19 games. Alonso has driven in at least one run in eight consecutive games and has now set a career high with 121 RBI in 2022. The first baseman is batting .267 with 37 homers, 121 RBI, 84 runs and five stolen bases over 149 games in his fourth season with the Mets.

Wade isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Colorado, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade holds just a .268 OPS when facing left-handed pitching, so it's no surprise to see him out against southpaw Kyle Freeland. Mike Yastrzemski will take Wade's spot in right field, allowing Lewis Brinson to start in center, batting ninth.

Diaz is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Astros, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.

Diaz is hitting .321 with six runs, six RBI, one home run and one steal in 17 games this month. Isaac Paredes is starting at the hot corner and batting ninth.

Casas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Casas has not recorded a hit in 12 at-bats against left-handers at the big-league level, so he will be held out Tuesday with southpaw Nick Lodolo starting for Cincinnati. Yu Chang will man first base in Casas' place.

Steer is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Red Sox.

Steer is hitting .218/.317/.327 with one home run, 14 strikeouts and eight walks in 16 games since making his MLB debut earlier this month. Donovan Solano will start at first base while batting fifth.

Flores went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Monday's 10-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies.

Flores is starting to find some traction at the plate again, going 6-for-14 with four RBI over his last three games after slumping for much of the first half of September. The infielder is back up to a .235/.316/.412 slash line with 19 home runs, 69 RBI, 67 runs scored and 27 doubles through 139 games in what's been a career year for him in terms of counting stats.

Tellez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Mets.

His seventh-inning blast off Tylor Megill provided Milwaukee with all its offense on a night in which the team managed only four hits. Tellez has homered in back-to-back games and gone yard four times in the last seven, and while his .225/.310/.470 slash line on the season remains less than stellar, it comes with a career-high 32 home runs and 85 RBI through 139 contests.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.

His fourth-inning blast off Corbin Burnes opened the scoring on the night and proved to be the game-winning hit -- one that clinched the Mets' first playoff berth since 2016. Alonso extended his RBI streak to seven games with the performance, and over his last 13 contests he's slashing .300/.390/.580 with four of his 36 homers and 12 of his 118 RBI on the season, leaving him only two RBI shy of tying the career high he established as a rookie in 2019.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

Olson's stat line wasn't eye-popping from a fantasy standpoint by any means, but it was likely a welcome sight for his managers nonetheless amid a prolonged skid at the plate. Since mashing a three-run home run in a win over the Athletics on Sept. 6, Olson slashed .053/.122/.053 with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate over his subsequent 10 games. Even after the two-hit game, Olson is batting just .235, the lowest average of his career aside from the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.

Toglia went 3-for-4 with two triples, a run, two RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Giants on Monday.

Toglia isn't known for his speed, but he showed that he can get around the bases Monday. The rookie picked up his first two triples as well as his first stolen base as a big-leaguer in the loss. This was the first three-hit game of Toglia's major-league career and put an end to a cold snap during which he went 0-for-18 with 10 strikeouts over his previous five contests.
