Doyle went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Doyle homered twice against Arizona over three games last weekend and has quickly resumed his power surge with the teams clashing again in Colorado. The outfielder is up to 11 homers this season, including four over 12 games in August. He's gone 15-for-39 (.385) with nine RBI this month. For the season, Doyle is up to a .234/.281/.370 slash line with 40 RBI, 44 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 101 games.

Farmer went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Farmer got the Rockies on the board in the fifth inning. He's picked up a bit of playing time around the infield lately, but he's far from being a regular in the lineup. The veteran infielder is now at a .227/.280/.360 slash line with six homers, 25 RBI, 20 runs scored, 14 doubles and no stolen bases across 261 plate appearances this season. Farmer has gone 7-for-20 (.350) in August.

Blalock (1-4) allowed seven runs on six hits and four walks while failing to log a strikeout over 3.2 innings, taking the loss Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.

Home runs from Lourdes Gurriel and Jose Herrera accounted for five of the seven runs on Blalock's line. Those blasts came within the first two innings, and the right-hander ran into more trouble before he was pulled in the fourth. Blalock has given up 19 runs across his last 15 innings over three starts. The 24-year-old is at an 8.62 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 22:18 K:BB in 47 innings through 11 appearances (nine starts) this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home against the Dodgers, who have been struggling lately but still pose a threat.

Herrera went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

Herrera has receded to a backup role behind James McCann lately. Despite the drop in playing time, Herrera has gone 5-for-18 with three RBI and three walks over six games in August. Adrian Del Castillo is also in the mix at catcher and designated hitter, making it tougher for Herrera to carve out a decent share of starts. On the year, Herrera has struggled to a .193/.293/.267 slash line with two homers, 17 RBI, 21 runs scored and six doubles over 198 plate appearances.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

Gurriel received a day off Wednesday after going 0-for-8 over the first two games of a series versus the Rangers. He was back in the starting lineup Thursday and made a quick impact with his first-inning homer. The outfielder is up to 15 long balls on the year, including three over 13 games in August. He's added 62 RBI, 41 runs scored, 10 steals, 22 doubles, two triples and a .244/.294/.406 slash line over 112 contests. Gurriel continues to operate as Arizona's primary left fielder.

Rodriguez (5-7) allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over seven innings to earn the win Thursday over the Rockies.

Rodriguez didn't fare well in a no-decision versus the Rockies in Arizona last week, allowing five runs over 5.1 innings. He was much better in Colorado, limiting the damage to a Kyle Farmer solo home run in the fifth inning. Inconsistency has been the story of the year for Rodriguez, who has allowed two or fewer runs in just three of his last seven outings. He's at a 5.40 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 111:43 K:BB across 110 innings through 21 starts. The veteran southpaw is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.

Harris went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, a run scored and a stolen base during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

Harris has been on a tear at the plate recently, notching multiple hits in each of his last six games. Thursday's effort marked his first three-hit game of that stretch, though. He's 13-for-25 (.520) with three home runs and two stolen bases during the streak. On the year, Harris has 13 home runs, 14 steals and a disappointing .678 OPS.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base during Thursday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta.

Lindor flashed his speed and power during Thursday's loss, recording his 22nd homer of the campaign and his 19th stolen base. He's now logged back-to-back multi-hit games after enduring a 1-for-23 (.043) stretch at the plate. The 31-year-old shortstop is slashing .249/.320/.435 in 540 plate appearances this season.

Iglesias picked up the save Thursday against the Mets, striking out one during a perfect ninth inning.

Iglesias didn't yield a run for a ninth consecutive outing, delivering his sixth perfect inning during that stretch. The scoreless streak came off the heels of Iglesias' fifth blown save of the campaign. Through 49.2 innings on the year, Iglesias has a 4.17 ERA and a 54:10 K:BB.

Senga didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk across 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Senga nearly submitted his first quality start in seven appearances, but he was pulled at 93 pitches with two outs in the sixth frame. Still, it was a step in the right direction for the 32-year-old, as he had allowed at least three runs in each of his last four starts and walked 14 batters during that span. His seven Ks also tied a season high. Through 19 appearances, Senga has a 2.35 ERA and a 95:48 K:BB across 99.2 innings. He's on track to face the Nationals in his next start.
