Devers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Devers launched his 33rd homer of the season to left-center field in the fifth inning, scoring the final run of the game. The 28-year-old has been slumping in September and hasn't delivered a multi-hit performance since Sept. 5. Over his last 16 games, Devers is batting .138 with nine runs scored, seven RBI and two long balls across 69 plate appearances. Overall, he's slashing .252/.371/.473 with 106 RBI, 95 runs scored, 31 doubles and a stolen base in 706 plate appearances over 158 games between San Francisco and Boston this season.

Herrera went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Monday's victory over the Giants.

Herrera tied the game in the fifth inning with a two-run homer off Justin Verlander, sparking a Cardinals win. The 25-year-old has been one of the brightest spots in St. Louis this year, slashing .281/.372/.462 with 13 doubles, 18 homers and 62 RBI in 102 games. While he showed promise with an .800 OPS in 72 games last season, Herrera's ability to maintain strong rate stats while boosting his overall production in 2025 makes this breakout especially encouraging.

Yelich is batting leadoff and serving as the designated hitter Monday night against the Padres, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.

This marks the first time this season that Yelich will get a look in the leadoff spot, resulting in Sal Frelick being bumped down to the No. 5 spot in the order. Yelich hasn't had a great month of September at the plate thus far, batting .231 with two home runs, eight RBI, one stolen base and six runs scored in 14 matchups.

Bell is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Atlanta, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

He'll head to the bench for the series opener while Atlanta sends ace lefty Chris Sale to the hill. A switch hitter, Bell has been far more effective against right-handed pitching (.338 wOBA, 117 wRC+) than left-handed pitching (.247 wOBA, 55 wRC+) this season.

Herrera went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-1 win over Milwaukee. He was also hit by a pitch.

On Saturday, Herrera told Jim Hayes of FanDuel Sports Network Midwest that he would undergo a minor procedure in the offseason to address an elbow issue that has hindered him in making throws behind the plate, which has been a factor in the Cardinals electing not to use him at catcher since he returned from a stint on the injured list July 13. He made four starts in left field from July 28 through Aug. 13 but has otherwise been used exclusively at designated hitter. He should continue to finish out the season as the Cardinals' primary DH, and Herrera was able to snap out of a minor power drought by connecting on his 17th long ball of the season in the third inning. He had failed to record an extra-base hit in any of his previous six starts entering Sunday.

Lux went 2-for-4 with an RBI double during the Reds' 1-0 win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Lux was responsible for the game's only run, when his double off Jameson Taillon in the third inning brought Matt McLain home. Lux has logged at least one hit in five of his last six games, going 8-for-22 (.364) with two doubles, two runs and one RBI over that span.

Ballesteros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Carlos Santana will step in at designated hitter in place of Ballesteros, who will sit for the second time in the series while the Reds send another lefty to the bump in Andrew Abbott. Since being called up from Triple-A Iowa on Sept. 9, Ballesteros has posted a .999 OPS over nine games. He should have a clear path to regular playing time against right-handed pitching while Kyle Tucker (calf) remains on the shelf.

Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Yelich will dodge a same-handed matchup against southpaw Matthew Liberatore on Sunday, clearing a spot in the lineup at designated hitter for Rhys Hoskins. While starting in each of Milwaukee's previous 11 games, Yelich went 12-for-48 (.250 average) with two home runs.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Saturday that Herrera will prepare exclusively as a catcher this offseason, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Herrera last saw action at catcher June 19, as he's been used as a full-time designated hitter since rejoining the Cardinals on July 13 following a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain. The move to the DH-only role was made in order to help keep Herrera healthy, but it was also due to his defensive shortcomings. Per Jim Hayes of FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, Herrera will undergo elbow surgery this offseason to correct an issue that's prevented him from getting his arm in the proper position to make throws to second base. In addition to recovering from surgery, Herrera will focus on improving his game calling. Marmol noted that Herrera's chances of sticking at catcher will "play out" during spring training, but the team is heading into the offseason expecting him to factor into the picture behind the plate. Herrera will likely finish 2025 with 14 games played (13 starts) at catcher, so he won't have eligibility at the position in most fantasy leagues entering next season. However, he should have a good chance to regain that eligibility early on in 2026.

Devers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Dodgers.

The Giants couldn't hold a 4-0 lead from the first inning, and Devers' blast in the seventh wasn't enough to forge a comeback. The infielder had gone just 5-for-47 (.106) over 13 games between long balls. Through 156 games between the Red Sox and San Francisco this season, he's at a .251/.370/.469 slash line with 32 homers, 105 RBI, 94 runs scored, 31 doubles and one stolen base.
