Perez (4-3) notched the win against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing two hits and issuing three walks while striking out five batters over six scoreless innings.

Perez racked up 13 whiffs and five punchouts while keeping the Yankees from crossing the plate. The right-hander recorded his third quality start of the campaign, and this was also just the third time he's completed six innings through 10 outings. Perez has been on a roll of late -- over his past six appearances, he's posted a sterling 1.06 ERA with a 37:8 K:BB across 34 frames. He'll carry a strong 2.70 overall ERA into his next start, which is slated to come in Atlanta next week.

Gurriel went 1-for-5 with two RBI and one stolen base in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Gurriel provided the go-ahead hit in the fifth inning, a two-run single. The outfielder also logged his eighth steal of the year, which was his first successful theft since June 24 versus the White Sox. The 31-year-old is now at a .247/.296/.402 slash line with 12 home runs, 50 RBI, 35 runs scored, 21 doubles and two triples through 101 contests.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with two runs and three RBI against the Giants in a 12-6 win Saturday.

Nimmo knocked an RBI single in each of the fourth, sixth and seventh frames. The veteran outfielder's productive performance came on the heels of a six-game stretch during which he recorded just one RBI while going 3-for-26 with 10 strikeouts. Nimmo has posted a .261/.327/.454 slash line with 19 homers, 56 runs, 63 RBI and 12 stolen bases through 107 contests on the campaign.

Perdomo went 0-for-2 with three walks, two stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Perdomo had just two steals in all of July, and it took him just two contests in August to match that number. The shortstop has been held hitless in six of his last eight games, but he's racked up a 6:2 BB:K in that span to stay effective at getting on base. Overall, he's posted a career-high 17 steals while adding 11 home runs, 75 RBI, 58 runs scored and a .274/.376/.421 slash line across 110 games.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a double, a run, a walk and four RBI in a 12-6 rout of San Francisco on Saturday.

Lindor tallied his first RBI on a bunt single in the fourth inning, added a traditional single for another RBI in the sixth and capped his production with a two-run double in the seventh. The star shortstop notched his 12th three-hit game of the season and recorded his second four-RBI performance. Lindor had been cold coming into Saturday, going 4-for-26 with only one RBI over his previous six contests, so perhaps his bat is back on the right track.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a double Saturday in a 12-6 victory versus the Giants.

Alonso set the tone for a big offensive night for the Mets when he cranked a three-run blast to center field in the first inning. The All-Star slugger has gone deep in each of his past two games following a rough 1-for-23 stretch at the plate. Alonso is up to 24 homers on the season as he seeks another campaign with at least 30 long balls -- the only time he hasn't reached that mark in his career was during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

Thomas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Thomas has homered twice over his last four games, putting him at seven long balls on the year. The outfielder hit just .214 with a .654 OPS over 19 games in July, but he continues to hold down a majority share of the playing time in center field for Arizona. Overall, he sports a .250/.300/.384 slash line with 28 RBI, 36 runs scored, five stolen bases, 13 doubles and two triples across 95 contests.

Senga allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters over four innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Saturday.

Senga threw only 37 of 71 pitches for strikes and walked multiple batters for the fourth straight start. Over that span, he's issued 10 free passes across 16 innings, which is a big reason why he has completed five frames only once during the stretch. Overall, Senga's 4.42 BB/9 on the campaign ranks in the bottom 10 in the majors among hurlers who have tossed at least 50 innings, which makes it all the more remarkable that he still holds a fantastic 2.31 ERA. However, that ERA has shot up of late -- it was 1.39 through his first 14 starts, but Senga has allowed 11 earned runs across 12 innings over his past three appearances.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and two RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Marte has gone 9-for-30 (.300) during the first eight games of the Diamondbacks' current road trip, which wraps up Sunday. The second baseman opened the scoring early with his solo shot in the first inning and plated the tying run on a groundout in the fifth inning. He continues to provide a steady bat in the top third of the order, slashing .288/.390/.553 with 21 homers, 44 RBI, 56 runs scored, 15 doubles and two stolen bases across 79 games this season.

Carroll went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks, one stolen base and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Carroll ended a 16-game homer drought with his solo shot to pad Arizona's lead in the ninth inning. In that span, he went 15-for-66 (.227) with five doubles, four triples and three steals. The outfielder hasn't found a lot of recent success at the plate, but he still provides reliable counting stats. He's up to 22 homers, 52 RBI, 71 runs scored, 14 steals, 19 doubles and 14 triples through 94 contests, and he's managed an .868 OPS despite a .247 batting average.
