Diaz went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday in a 6-2 victory versus the White Sox.

Diaz gave San Diego some extra cushion in the eighth inning with a two-run shot to left-center field. It was his sixth homer of the season and his first since joining the Padres in late August. In fact, prior to Saturday, Diaz -- who belted a career-high 18 long balls with the Rockies in 2021 -- hadn't gone deep since June 5, a stretch of 41 games.

Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

The 22-year-old catcher stayed hot, taking Ranger Suarez deep for a solo shot in the second inning before adding a two-run double in the seventh off Orion Kerkering. Alvarez has 11 homers on the season, and five of them have come in his last nine games -- a stretch in which he's batting .286 (8-for-28) with 13 RBI.

Herrera went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Brewers.

Herrera turned on an Aaron Civale curveball and sent it over the right field fence for his first home run of the season. He had been getting steady at-bats earlier this month, but that's no longer the case since Gabriel Moreno was activated off the injured list a week ago. Herrera is batting .226/.277/.312 over 39 games in 2024.

Herrera went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run, a double and a walk in Saturday's 6-5 win against Cleveland.

Herrera clubbed a three-run shot in the seventh inning to increase the Cardinals' lead to 6-1. The catcher has gone 9-for-20 over his past seven games to push his season batting average to an impressive .293. Herrera remains behind Pedro Pages in the backstop pecking order, however, as Pages has started five of the Cardinals' past eight games behind the plate.

Contreras was held out of Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks due to finger and hip injuries, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Contreras' injuries appear to be minor and he wanted to play Saturday, but the Brewers will rest the 26-year-old catcher for at least one contest. He could be back as soon as Sunday for the series finale, but with the Brewers scheduled for an off day Monday, he could be held out for additional rest until the start of the upcoming road series against the Pirates on Tuesday. Since Sept. 1, Contreras has slashed .286/.397/.500 with three home runs and 12 RBI across 69 plate appearances.

Smith isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

Smith has gone 3-for-10 with a homer, two RBI and four runs scored over his last three games. He'll get a breather Saturday, allowing Hunter Feduccia to catch for Walker Buehler while batting ninth.

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

After going 0-for-9 over his last four games, Higashioka will give way to Elias Diaz behind the plate Saturday.

Pages isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Pages will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 0-for-9 with five strikeouts across his last three games. Ivan Herrera will catch for Miles Mikolas and bat fifth.

Moreno isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday versus Milwaukee.

Although Moreno has gone 6-for-13 with an RBI and two runs scored across his brief four-game hitting streak, he'll take a seat against Aaron Civale and the Brewers on Saturday. Jose Herrera will fill in at catcher and bat ninth.

Contreras isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday versus Arizona.

Contreras will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after going 4-for-5 with a two-run homer in Friday's loss. Eric Haase will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.
