Gilbert went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 7-1 win against Tampa Bay.

The rookie outfielder garnered the start in right field and logged his first long ball with a 384-foot solo shot off Rays reliever Mason Englert in the seventh. Gilbert then returned in the eighth to knock home an additional run on a single. The first 22 plate appearances of the 24-year-old's career have been rough with a .136/.136/.237 slash line and six strikeouts, as he entered Sunday with just one hit. Gilbert is currently stuck in a part-time role, but perhaps this performance can gain him additional playing time.

Abbott did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Brewers, allowing four hits while striking out seven across seven scoreless frames. He did not issue a walk.

Abbott faced the minimum number of batters in five of seven frames, generating 12 whiffs and eight groundouts while tossing 92 pitches (61 strikes). It was the southpaw's fourth scoreless outing this season and lined him up for the win before William Contreras smacked a two-run homer in the ninth. Across 130 innings this season, Abbott has a 2.28 ERA and 1.08 WHIP, which ranks second and 14th best, respectively, among qualified starters in the majors. His next start is slated for next weekend on the road against the Diamondbacks, when he'll aim to collect his first win since July 9 against the Marlins.

Webb (11-9) earned the win Sunday against the Rays, throwing seven scoreless innings while allowing three hits and no walks. He struck out seven.

The San Francisco ace was dominant in this 86-pitch performance, as he notched his 17th quality start of the season. This marks the fifth consecutive season Webb has reached the 11-win plateau in his seven-season career. Across 160.2 total innings, the 28-year-old has pitched to a 3.19 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 175:35 K:BB. Webb is currently scheduled to make his next appearance in the Giants' upcoming weekend road series against the league-leading Brewers.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

Swanson doubled home a run in the bottom of the fifth inning, then delivered the game-winning run on a sacrifice fly in the eighth. The shortstop is batting .255 this month with two home runs, six RBI and seven runs scored across 14 games. Overall, Swanson is batting .249, and he's chipped in 18 long balls and 10 stolen bases, giving him some fantasy value in multiple categories.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with two runs scored during Sunday's 11-9 loss to Philadelphia.

Garcia broke out of a mini-slump Sunday, as he entered the contest with just three hits in his last 22 at-bats. The second baseman notched his first stolen base since July 22. In 416 plate appearances this season, Garcia is slashing .263/.303/.401 with 53 runs and 51 RBI.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 11-9 loss to the Phillies.

DeJong tried to spark a comeback Sunday, tagging Max Lazar for a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to make it a two-run game. His long ball prompted the Phillies to insert closer Jhoan Duran, who immediately shut the door. DeJong has been on a heater recently, having hit five home runs in his last 10 games and going 12-for-39 (.308) during that stretch.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 11-9 win over Washington.

Bohm appeared in an MLB game for the first time in almost a month after suffering a left rib fracture, and he didn't miss a beat. The third baseman swatted his ninth home run of the campaign, tagging Mitchell Parker for a three-run homer in the second inning. Bohm is now one round tripper away from his fourth straight season with double-digit home runs. In 388 plate appearances, Bohm is slashing .280/.327/.401.

Castellanos went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Sunday's 11-9 win over the Nationals.

Castellanos got the day off Saturday to clear his head amid a 1-for-33 (.030) stretch at the plate, and the additional rest proved fruitful. The right fielder logged multiple extra-base hits for the first time since June 22, including a solo homer off of Shinnosuke Ogasawara. Castellanos is slashing .253/.291/.413 on the year.

Nola didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Washington, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts across 2.1 innings.

Nola made his long-awaited return from the injured list Sunday after missing three months with an ankle sprain and stress fracture in his right rib. The 32-year-old worked up to 84 pitches during his minor-league rehab assignment, but he lasted merely 53 pitches as the Nationals teed off on him in the third inning. Nola yielded six of his seven hits and his lone walk in the frame, all consecutively. The 32-year-old had been excellent during his rehab assignment, posting a 2.19 ERA and a 17:3 K:BB in 12.1 innings across three appearances. He's tentatively scheduled for a rematch with the Nationals next weekend.

Duran picked up the save Sunday against the Nationals, striking out one over a perfect two-thirds of an inning.

Duran was carted off the field Friday after taking a comebacker to the ankle, but he avoided structural damage and said Saturday he was feeling 100 percent. The Phillies didn't require his services in Saturday's loss. However, they called upon Duran midway through the ninth inning Sunday after Max Lazar surrendered a three-run home run to trim the lead to two runs. Duran came in and retired Dylan Crews and James Wood back-to-back to earn his 21st save. The 27-year-old closer has converted each of his last 11 save opportunities, notching a 1.93 ERA and a 17:4 K:BB across 18.2 innings during that stretch.
