Kim went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

The 29-year-old clubbed the first pitch he saw from Drew Pomeranz in the seventh inning over the left-field fence, erasing a 1-0 deficit in an eventual 5-1 win. Incredibly, it was the first home run by an Atlanta shortstop this season, as the team has gotten a league-low .535 OPS at the position in 2025. The long ball was the third of the year in 26 games for Kim, who should handle starting duties the rest of September after making his Atlanta debut Tuesday.

Nunez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Marlins.

Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth in his first action with the Nationals since June 8, Nunez connected on his first two career homers in his 75th big-league game, launching a solo shot off Eury Perez in the second inning and a two-run blast against Luarbert Arias in the eighth. Nunez isn't known for his power -- he has only nine career homers in the minors -- but if he gets semi-regular playing time in September, he could make an impact on the basepaths. Between Triple-A and the majors this season, the 25-year-old infielder has gone 44-for-51 on stolen base attempts over 86 games.

Allen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

As anticipated, Atlanta's waiver pickup of Ha-Seong Kim earlier in the week has resulted in Allen losing hold of his everyday role at shortstop. Kim will occupy the position for the second game in a row and will likely get an extended evaluation in September, leaving Allen to settle for limited playing time in a utility role. Allen offers strong defense at shortstop, but with a measly .534 OPS over 405 plate appearances on the season, he hasn't hit well enough to profile as a viable everyday player.

Devanney will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.

Devanney will pick up a third straight start at the hot corner after the Pirates lost Isiah Kiner-Falefa to waivers Sunday. Thus far, Devanney has gone 0-for-7 with five strikeouts, so he may have a short leash atop the depth chart at third base.

Abrams is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins.

Abrams will get a rare day off while he's in the midst of a 1-for-13 skid at the palte over his last four starts. Nasim Nunez will fill in at shortstop, and outfielder Daylen Lile has been elevated to the No. 2 spot in the lineup as the Nationals try to complete the sweep.

Kim went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.

It was a nice beginning to his Atlanta tenure, as Kim got the start at shortstop and hit sixth in the order after being claimed off waivers from the Rays and activated from the IL earlier in the day. The 29-year-old infielder should be the team's starting SS for the rest of September as he tries to wrap up a tough, injury-plagued 2025 with a strong final month.

Triolo went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Dodgers.

The 27-year-old infielder was a force at the top of the lineup, producing his eighth multi-hit performance since Aug. 15. Over that 17-game stretch, Triolo is slashing .375/.485/.625 with nine extra-base hits (six doubles, a triple and two homers) in addition to five steals, seven RBI and 12 runs. While he won't maintain that blistering pace, Triolo has shown flashes of offensive upside in the past, and he could be establishing a foothold in the Pirates' 2026 plans.

Gonzalez slashed .288/.404/.455 with four home runs, 33 steals, a 16.2 percent walk rate and a 15.8 percent strikeout rate in 52 games in the Dominican Summer League.

The top teenage international prospect to sign on Jan. 15 this year, Gonzalez lived up to the hype in his pro debut. His athleticism was arguably the standout trait during his tour of the DSL, as he registered a 9.7 speed score on FanGraphs while going 33-for-38 (86.8 percent success rate) on the bases. Gonzalez only played shortstop this season and projects to stick there long term.

Atlanta activated Kim (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Kim was scooped up from the Rays via waivers Monday and now joins the active roster with his new club. The 29-year-old has been limited to only 24 games this season due to injury and has slashed an uninspiring .214/.290/.321 when on the field. However, Kim should operate as Atlanta's everyday shortstop down the stretch, and with a $16 million player option for 2026, he could be the team's regular at the position next season, as well.

Allen went 1-for-4 in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs, and over his last 13 games he's batting just .111 (3-for-27) with a 0:10 BB:K.

The 26-year-old offers a good glove at shortstop, but Allen has never figured out how to hit big-league pitching and has a .534 OPS through 405 plate appearances this season, and a .536 OPS for his career. Atlanta claimed Ha-Seong Kim (back) off waivers from the Rays on Monday, and he's expected to take over as the team's starting shortstop once he's activated from the IL, which could happen as soon as Tuesday. Allen will likely be relegated to a late-inning defensive role after Kim joins the active roster.
