Hayes went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Marlins.

He's found a home batting leadoff, hitting first in the lineup exclusively in September. Hayes held a slash line of .308/.327/.365 entering Sunday's action. He's swiped three bags during that span. Although Hayes has collected only three extra-base hits (all doubles) in his last 71 at-bats, his batting average boost gives hope to fantasy managers for 2022.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a walk and a strikeout in 3-2 win over the Angels on Sunday.

Chapman doubled in the second inning, homered in the fourth and walked in the 10th to reach base three times for the second time this weekend. Despite a slow September thus far, Chapman had a strong series against Los Angeles, going 4-for-11 with three walks.

Wisdom went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's win over the Brewers.

It was a game of highs and lows for Wisdom, as the 30-year-old struck out four times, but he also connected for his 27th home run of the season with two runners on in the eighth inning. In doing so, Wisdom set a new team rookie home-run record, surpassing the 26 long balls hit by Kris Bryant back in 2015. Considering Wisdom came into the year with four career home runs in 43 games at the MLB level, the power surge has been quite the pleasant surprise.

Ramirez went 4-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and four runs scored in Sunday's 11-1 win over the Yankees.

It was a perfect day at the dish for the third baseman, and his teammates were efficient in getting him around the bases when he got aboard. Ramirez has gone 10-for-17 (.588) with two homers, seven RBI and 10 runs scored in his last five games. The 29-year-old is up to a .265/.357/.552 slash line with 35 long balls, 94 RBI, 103 runs scored and 24 stolen bases through 575 plate appearances overall.

Castro will be promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis to close out the season, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Castro was sent to Double-A Altoona in late August, and he hit just .082 with a homer, six runs, five RBI and a stolen base across 18 minor-league games since then. He'll now face a higher level of competition in Indianapolis late in the year.

Urshela went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-1 loss to Cleveland.

The infielder got the Yankees on the board in the third inning, but that was their only run of the game. Urshela has posted three multi-hit efforts in his last six games, going 8-for-22 (.364) in that span. He's up to a .261/.297/.418 slash line with 13 homers, 46 RBI, 35 runs scored and a stolen base through 397 plate appearances overall.

Segura went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Segura went deep off Carlos Carrasco in the first and third innings. It was his first multi-homer game this season. In his last 12 games, he has four long balls, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored. The 31-year-old is slashing .299/.357/.453 with 14 home runs, 55 RBI, 74 runs and nine steals in 519 plate appearances.

Urias (upper leg) was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias has battled the upper leg injury over the past few weeks and was scratched from Sunday's lineup after the injury flared up while going through warmups. Richie Martin will start at shortstop while Pat Valaika shifts to the keystone.

Walls (illness) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to an illness, and he'll remain on the bench for Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old is apparently dealing with a non-COVID-19 illness and should be considered day-to-day. Joey Wendle will remain at shortstop while Yandy Diaz starts at the hot corner.

The Diamondbacks selected Vargas from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Vargas hasn't appeared at the MLB level since June 18, at which point he had managed a .137/.200/.176 slash line in 55 plate appearances with the Cubs, Pirates and Diamondbacks. He figures to serve as additional infield depth for however long he's on the big-league roster.
