Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Goes deep in win
Nunez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer during the Nationals' 3-2 win over the Mets on Sunday.
Nunez capped off the Nationals' three-run second inning with a two-run shot off Sean Manaea. Since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Sept. 1, he has gone 6-for-26 (.231 average) with three home runs, one steal and seven RBI. Nunez should continue to fill a utility role for the Nationals in the final week of the season, with most of his starts likely to come against left-handed pitching.

Triolo extended Pittsburgh's lead to 4-0 in the second inning with a 402-foot blast off Mitch Spence, his seventh homer this year. Triolo's four hits Sunday also marked a season high. The 27-year-old infielder is batting .304 with an .879 OPS and four homers in his last 30 contests.

Vidal Brujan SS | ATL
Braves' Vidal Brujan: Exits with hip injury
Brujan was removed from Sunday's game against the Tigers with right hip tightness.
Brujan, who picked up a start at third base Sunday, went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored prior to exiting and being replaced by Luke Williams. Given that Brujan rarely starts -- he had eight at-bats this month prior to Sunday -- he may not return to the lineup as soon as he's healthy.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Managing shoulder injury
Abrams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets due to a jammed right shoulder, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Nasim Nunez will fill in at shortstop in place of Abrams, who sustained the injury when he was tagged out while trying to advance to third base in the 11th inning of Saturday's 5-3 win. According to interim manager Miguel Cairo, Abrams will be available to pinch hit Sunday if needed, so the 24-year-old's absence from the lineup appears to be mostly precautionary in nature.

The infielder took Chris Paddack deep in the eighth inning as part of a 10-1 rout. Kim has hit safely in seven straight games, batting .423 (11-for-26) over that stretch, and in 16 games since joining Atlanta he's slashing .316/.375/.439 with two of his four homers on the season, and 10 of his 15 RBI.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Goes deep in loss
Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Reds.
Swanson connected for his first home run in two weeks, giving him 23 long balls for the season. That's the most by the Chicago shortstop in his time with his team, as he hit 22 homers in 2023 and 16 homers last year. Swanson's career high in home runs is 27, which he recorded back in 2021 while playing for Atlanta. The 31-year-old also has 76 RBI and 17 stolen bases this season to round out his stat line.
