Reyes went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers.

Making his third start in the last five games, Reyes launched the first big-league homer of his career, pushing his slash line to .375/.474/.625 in seven games since his promotion. While he's not a big-name prospect for the Pirates, the 25-year-old appears to be holding down the short side of a platoon with Adam Frazier in left field, giving him some NL-only fantasy appeal for the stretch run.

Mondesi went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, two additional runs, and a stolen base in Friday's victory over the Twins.

Hitting from the two-hole, Mondesi loaded up the stat sheet once again, as he's now collected a stolen base in three of his past four starts. He has also generated multi-hit outings in nine of his last 15 starts. Mondesi's recent hot streak has bumped his season average up to .286 to go along with eight home runs, 27 RBI and 23 steals over 221 plate appearances.

Arcia is out of the lineup against Pittsburgh on Friday.

Arcia wasn't listed in manager Craig Counsell's starting nine for the fifth time in the past seven games, as Jonathan Schoop once again gets the nod at shortstop. Dating back to Aug. 26, Arcia has gone just 7-for-33 (.212 average) with two RBI in his last 16 contests.

Camargo (groin) is not in the lineup versus the Nationals on Friday.

Camargo will remain on the bench for a second consecutive day after leaving Tuesday's contest with left groin tightness. He benefited from Thursday's scheduled off day but needs a little more time being returning to the starting nine. In his place, Charlie Culberson will handle the hot corner and bat fifth.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a single, a double, one run and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays.

The stolen base was Bogaerts' seventh of the season, and he now has three multi-hit games in his last five appearances. The versatile shortstop owns a .291/.362/.524 slash line with 21 home runs, 93 RBI and 68 runs over 536 plate appearances this season.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Rojas provided the only offense for the Marlins in the losing effort with a two-run shot in the third inning, his 11th home run of the season. Over 480 plate appearances in 2018, he has a .249/.295/.348 slash line with 39 runs, 50 RBI and six steals.

Baez went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 4-3 win over Washington.

Baez torched Washington pitching all afternoon, getting the Cubs on the board with an RBI double in the fourth inning and a solo home run in the seventh. In the 10th and final frame, he drove in the winning run with a bunt single. The 25-year-old infielder is up to 31 homers, 103 RBI and a .295 average in his incredible 2018 campaign.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and one RBI in Thursday's 10-3 loss to the Rockies.

Ahmed doubled in a run and later scored in the seventh inning, but Arizona couldn't get much else going at the plate. The 28-year-old now has 67 RBI and a .731 OPS in 513 plate appearances this season.

Story went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 10-3 routing of Arizona.

Story is absolutely raking down the stretch, already with seven home runs and 17 RBI in the month of September. On the year, the 25-year-old shortstop has 33 homers, 102 RBI and a .906 OPS. It will be hard for voters to ignore his name in the NL MVP conversation.

Mondesi went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

Mondesi brought home the only two runs for Kansas City in the 12-inning loss and also swiped his fourth base over the last five games. On the year, the 23-year-old is slashing an impressive .284/.311/.463 to go along with 22 steals in 27 tries.
