  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Opens scoring with homer

    Rushing went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

    Rushing went deep off Logan Gilbert in the fifth inning to open the scoring. Since returning from a shin injury Sept. 16, Rushing has gone 5-for-19 (.263) over seven games while sharing the catching duties with Ben Rortvedt. Rushing is now slashing .200/.255/.314 with four homers, 24 RBI, 14 runs scored and four doubles over 52 big-league games this season. Rortvedt has been steady while hitting .244 in September, and as the more experienced catcher, he may continue to see a starting role in the postseason unless Will Smith (hand) is able to return.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Tallies seventh homer

    Davis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against Atlanta.

    Davis got the scoring going for the Pirates in the third inning with his seventh home run of the season. While he has improved considerably behind the plate, he's managed only a 41 wRC+ and .230 wOBA across 283 plate appearances. Davis is splitting time with Joey Bart to end the season, though he'll likely face additional competition for playing time from Rafael Flores to begin 2026.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Smacks 31st homer

    Goodman went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Saturday against the Giants.

    Goodman went yard in the first inning to deliver his 31st homer of the season, five which have come in September. He's hit .292 with 15 RBI and 10 runs scored across 23 games for the month, ending his breakout campaign in strong form.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Belts 13th homer of 2025

    Kirk went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Toronto's 5-1 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.

    Kirk -- who entered Saturday's tilt having gone 0-for-20 with one RBI across the last six games -- gave the Blue Jays a four-run lead in the seventh inning with a 432-foot solo shot to left field. The 26-year-old catcher is up to 13 home runs on the season, which is as many as he tallied across the 2023 and 2024 campaigns combined. Even with his recent struggles at the plate, Kirk is enjoying a strong season in which he's slashing .278/.345/.404 with 43 runs, 17 doubles and 70 RBI across 501 plate appearances.
