Devers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

Devers wasted little time making an impact, taking Bryce Elder deep as the second batter of the game for his 30th homer of the season. He added a pair of walks and is now riding an eight-game hitting streak, five of which have featured multiple hits. Devers has gone 13-for-31 (.419) with four homers and nine RBI during the eight-game stretch. On the season, the 29-year-old is slashing .252/.330/.490 across 138 games.

Vientos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over the Rays.

Playing in his first game since July 9 after recovering from a fractured right hand, Vientos brought home the opening run by grounding into a double play in the fourth inning before adding a solo homer in the seventh. It was an encouraging return, though Vientos struggled to a .169 average against right-handed pitching prior to landing on the injured list, leaving him in what should be a platoon role over the final month of the season.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Bogaerts delivered a two-run double in the fourth inning to extend San Diego's lead during a four-run frame. Despite the timely hit, his production has continued to trend downward during a difficult season, with his .217 average representing a career-low mark. Bogaerts owns a .638 OPS across 519 plate appearances this season.

Gordon completed five innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three batters.

Gordon was cruising until the fifth inning, when back-to-back Orioles doubles resulted in a run. The right-hander quickly rebounded, retiring the next three batters to keep the score tied 1-1. However, a lengthy rain delay before the sixth frame ended Gordon's outing at just 60 pitches (40 strikes). Though that brought an end to his bid for a second straight quality start, Gordon still posted a strong performance, and he ended an up-and-down August by allowing just two runs over 12 innings across his final two starts. He'll look to build on that momentum the next time he takes the mound, which is on track to be a home matchup against St. Louis.

Machado went 4-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Machado doubled in his first plate appearance before adding singles in three of his next four trips to the plate, giving him a season-high four hits. The double also snapped a 10-game stretch without an extra-base hit, during which Machado batted just .184. Despite Monday's performance, the veteran third baseman is having a down year overall, batting .220 with a .712 OPS across 135 games.

Singer (5-13) took the loss Monday against the Padres, allowing four runs on 10 hits while striking out five and walking none over 4.1 innings.

Singer unraveled in the fourth inning, surrendering six consecutive hits before recording an out as San Diego pushed across four runs. The 10 hits matched a season high for the right-hander, who has now allowed at least three runs in eight consecutive starts. Across 27 starts this season, Singer owns a 4.83 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 117:45 K:BB over 141.2 innings. He's slated to face the Brewers on Sunday.

King (9-9) earned the win Monday against the Reds, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings.

King received plenty of support from San Diego's lineup with a four-run fourth inning and cruised to his second straight scoreless outing, giving him 13 consecutive shutout frames. The right-hander has completed at least six innings in nine of his last 11 starts, lowering his ERA from 3.55 to 3.11 during that stretch. King also owns a 1.17 WHIP with 141 strikeouts across 162 innings this season. He's lined up to face his former team, the Yankees, in his next start.

Senga struck out one and walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Monday against the Rays to secure his fifth save of the season.

Senga entered with a one-run lead and worked around a leadoff walk to Jonny DeLuca to preserve the victory. The right-hander has been sharp throughout August, collecting all five of his saves while allowing just two runs across 10.1 innings with a 12:5 K:BB. Senga should continue to serve as the Mets' primary ninth-inning option until Devin Williams (shoulder) returns.

Pratt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 17-3 loss to the Cubs.

Pratt launched a two-run homer over the left-field fence in the seventh inning, though it had little impact on the result as the Cubs cruised to a blowout victory. It marked the shortstop's first homer since July 25. Through 187 plate appearances, the 22-year-old rookie is slashing .270/.339/.371 with three homers, 22 RBI, 25 runs and 12 stolen bases.

Conforto went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run in Monday's 17-3 win over Milwaukee.

With position player Andrew Vaughn pitching, Conforto came off the bench and crushed a three-run homer in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old's playing time is somewhat sporadic, but he's brought some juice with three homers over his past seven contests. Overall, Conforto is hitting .235/.325/.479 with 13 homers, 37 RBI, 29 runs and a stolen base in 246 plate appearances.
