Crews went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Crews has three doubles over two games in this weekend series against the Dodgers. The steal was his first since Aug. 13 versus the Cubs. The outfielder is still getting fairly steady playing time between center field and right field. Crews is batting just .220 with a .654 OPS, 10 home runs, nine steals, 35 RBI, 46 runs scored, 17 doubles and one triple over 91 contests this season.

Abrams went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Abrams is still scuffling at the plate, having gone just 4-for-40 (.100) over his last 10 games, though he has two steals and two RBI in that span. The infielder is hitting .265 with an .837 OPS, 28 steals, 29 home runs, 94 RBI, 83 runs scored, 26 doubles and three triples over 135 contests. If he can find his swing again soon, he has plenty of time to secure the first 30-30 season of his career.

Wood went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Wood has gone 4-for-13 with two doubles and one RBI over three games since he returned from an oblique injury. This was his first steal since his activation off the injured list. The outfielder is up to 18 steals on 20 attempts this year. He's added a .267 batting average, .925 OPS, 30 home runs, 74 RBI, 101 runs scored, 28 doubles and one triple across 117 contests.

Cavalli allowed two runs on four hits and a hit batsman while striking out eight and walking none over six innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

Cavalli returned to form after his last start versus Miami was cut short after four scoreless innings when he was struck on the calf by a batted ball. The right-hander has logged quality starts in 10 of his last 11 outings. Cavalli now has a 3.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 185:46 K:BB through 158.2 innings over 30 starts in a breakout campaign. He'll look to keep rolling at home versus the Angels in his next start.

Zeferjahn tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins. He walked one and struck out one.

With regular closer Jacob Webb (forearm) remaining out of action, Zeferjahn recorded his fifth save of the season and first since Aug. 2, when he was still a member of the Angels before getting traded to Chicago a day later. The righty reliever hasn't been particularly sharp with the Cubs yet, as he's recorded a 5.68 ERA across 12.2 innings with his new team. Zeferjahn still misses plenty of bats, and he should be given chances to turn things around down the stretch as a key member of Chicago's bullpen.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.

Edman went yard in the seventh inning, turning a 4-2 deficit into a 5-4 lead for the Dodgers. The utility man has hit well to begin September, going 9-for-23 (.391) over five games this month. He's now batting .273 with a .762 OPS, six homers, 32 RBI, 36 runs scored, 10 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases over 65 games. Edman has gotten the call to hit leadoff while Shohei Ohtani (knee/biceps) is out of action.

Scott allowed a run on three hits and struck out three in one inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.

Scott's shaky pitching continues -- he's allowed five runs over his last 8.1 innings, though he's still converted five of six save chances in that span. He needed 17 pitches (14 strikes) to get the job done Saturday for his 21st save of the campaign. Scott has a 2.67 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 70:12 K:BB through 57.1 innings. He's pitched three of the last four days, so he may be rested Sunday even if a save chance is available.

Conforto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins.

Conforto provided an offensive lift before getting pulled for pinch hitter Matt Shaw in the seventh inning, as he connected for his 14th home run of the season in the third. The veteran outfielder has posted a solid .821 OPS across 97 games, and he continues to see most of his playing time in matchups against right-handed pitchers, recording only seven at-bats versus lefties this year. Conforto can have some fantasy value when he's in the lineup, though his sporadic role makes him hard to rely on as a regular option.

Glasnow allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over six-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Nationals on Saturday.

Glasnow wasn't able to keep the Nationals under control, but the Dodgers' offense picked him up in the late innings. Over three starts since he returned from back spasms, Glasnow has allowed eight runs with a 21:4 K:BB across 18 innings. He's at a 3.12 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 70:17 K:BB through 57.2 innings over 10 starts this season. The veteran right-hander is projected for a road start in Miami next weekend.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 4-3 extra-inning win over the Astros on Saturday.

Marte's lone hit was a big one, as his eighth-inning solo homer tied the game 3-3. The long ball was his first since the veteran infielder was activated from the injured list Aug. 31. Marte has notched exactly one hit in each of his four contests since returning, going 4-for-14 with a 2:1 BB:K during that span. He's at a .251/.317/.449 slash line with 22 homers, 66 runs, 68 RBI and four stolen bases through 122 contests on the campaign.
