Tellez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a 4-2 win in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against San Francisco.

With runners on first and third and two outs, Tellez stole second base without a throw in the seventh inning for his second steal of the season, setting a new career high. His seventh-inning single ended a 0-for-14 slump. In his last 20 appearances he's posted a .155/.250/.338 slash line, dropping his season marks to .226/.314/.460.

Voit went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored in Thursday's 11-6 victory over the Cardinals.

Voit saw the ball well Thursday as he recorded two hits, including a double, and two walks on the day. This is Voit's second consecutive multi-hit game as he begins to heat up at the dish. In eight games since the beginning of September, Voit is 10-for-30 with a home run, three RBI and three runs.

Lester was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Lester's contract was selected Sunday, and he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts over two games with the big-league club. He'll head back to the minors after Jonathan Scoop (ankle) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Solano is not in Thursday's lineup against the Cubs.

Solano is hitting .171 with zero home runs and zero steals over his last 10 games. Nick Senzel (ankle) will be eased back in as the designated hitter Thursday.

Alonso went 4-for-9 with a walk, a double and a run scored across both ends of Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Pirates.

The first baseman collected two hits in each game, but he otherwise didn't contribute much as the Mets scored 15 runs in total on the day. Alonso had been in a slump, going 4-for-32 (.125) over his prior nine games with a solo home run, but Wednesday's performances suggests he's about to heat up again.

Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Cronenworth has homered in consecutive contests, as it appears he's enjoyed facing Arizona pitching this week. His blast Wednesday gave the Padres a 3-2 lead in the second inning. The second baseman is up to 15 long balls this year, and he matched his career high with his 71st RBI of the season in this contest. He's added a .244/.342/.397 slash line, two stolen bases and 79 runs scored through 135 games.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

Lowe was the only player on either team with a multi-hit effort in the contest. He did his damage early, taking Astros starter Cristian Javier deep in the first inning. Lowe has been one of baseball's best hitters lately with eight homers and a .405 batting average over his last 19 games. For the year, he's slashing .306/.360/.507 with 24 long balls, 68 RBI, 64 runs scored and two stolen bases through 131 contests.

Voit went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Voit contributed a homer as part of the Nationals' four-run rally in the eighth inning, and he was the only player on the team to log a multi-hit effort. He's opened September hitting .296 (8-for-27), though his homer Wednesday is his only extra-base hit in that span. For the season, the first baseman is slashing .228/.317/.414 with 19 long balls, 60 RBI, 47 runs scored and a stolen base through 110 contests between the Nationals and the Padres.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.

Goldschmidt's fourth-inning blast was the only run in the game until the Nationals' offense woke up in the seventh and eighth frames. It's been a rather pedestrian start to September for Goldschmidt -- he's gone 5-for-20 (.250) with two home runs in the first six games of the month. The first baseman is still doing just fine overall, as his 35 homers put him one shy of matching a career-high mark he achieved in both 2013 and 2017. He's added 108 RBI, 99 runs scored, six stolen bases and 35 doubles through 130 contests.

Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Angels.

Torkelson hit his sixth home run of the season and first since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo earlier this month. His rookie season hasn't lived up to expectations, as the 23-year-old is batting just .197 with a .594 OPS, though the talent is there for him to bounce back in 2023 and deliver on the promise that made him the top pick of the 2020 draft.
