Sanchez allowed four runs on seven hits and struck out six without walking a batter over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Sanchez gave up three runs in the second inning and one more in the fourth. The Phillies' offense couldn't get anything going early on, as Shohei Ohtani threw five no-hit innings, but the Dodgers' bullpen was far less formidable. Sanchez has allowed a total of seven runs over his last 27 innings and is now at a 2.66 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 198:43 K:BB through 189.1 innings across 30 starts this season. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Marlins next week, which would be his last of the regular season if the Phillies continue to roll with a six-man rotation.

Flores went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Flores was part of the Giants' early rally in the first inning and added his solo shot in the third. This was his second multi-hit effort in a row, and he continues to have a regular spot in the lineup versus southpaws while also playing against some right-handers. Flores' playing time versus could drop with Bryce Eldridge now on the major-league roster, however. For the season, Flores has a .243/.310/.385 slash line with 16 homers, 70 RBI, 43 runs scored and one stolen base over 119 contests.

Beck allowed three runs on five hits and struck out one without walking a batter over three innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

This was Beck's first start of the season, but he didn't do all that well. He threw 27 of 42 pitches for strikes and ran into trouble in the second inning, though the Giants still held a lead when he exited. A handful of bad outings have skewed his overall numbers, and he carries a 5.12 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 37:14 K:BB through 51 innings over 27 appearances in the majors. It's unclear if he'll get another start before the end of the campaign, as he has primarily functioned as a multi-inning reliever.

Carroll went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

All three of Carroll's hits were singles. He drove in a run in the fifth inning, and he completing Arizona's comeback by coming around to score after a leadoff knock in the ninth. The star outfielder has gone 13-for-50 (.260) with four extra-base hits, seven stolen bases, six RBI and 11 runs scored over 14 contests in September. For the season, Carroll has maintained a .258/.339/.542 slash line with 30 home runs, 28 steals, 77 RBI, 103 runs scored, 30 doubles and 16 triples through 135 games.

Del Castillo went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

Del Castillo has an extra-base hit in each of his last two games after going a stretch of 14 contests without one. The 25-year-old continues to strike out too much, posting a 2:12 BB:K over his eight games in September. For the season, he's logged a .241/.278/.380 slash line with three homers, 14 RBI, eight runs scored and six doubles over 115 big-league plate appearances.

Saalfrank (2-1) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Saalfrank was down over the weekend due to left shoulder fatigue that prompted imaging, but it appears nothing concerning was found, as the reliever was able to return after a few days off. Saalfrank ended up with the win after pitching a clean top of the ninth inning, after the Diamondbacks walked it off in their half of the frame. He's been part of a closer committee late in the season, picking up three saves and five holds since the start of August. Overall, Saalfrank has a 1.33 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB through 27 innings this season.

Rodriguez allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday.

Rodriguez had logged wins and quality starts in three straight outings before this poor showing. The Giants rallied for four runs in the first inning, and Wilmer Flores added a solo shot in the third, but the Diamondbacks had the game tied in the fifth to make it a no-decision for Rodriguez. The southpaw's recent improvements have partially made up for an up-and-down season -- he's posted a 5.12 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 132:56 K:BB through 142.1 innings over 27 starts. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Dodgers.

Moniak went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Marlins.

Moniak has gone 9-for-19 with three homers and eight RBI over his last five games. The outfielder kept the Rockies from getting shut out in this contest with his eighth-inning blast, and he also hit a single that produced Colorado's fifth run thanks to a Miami error, though the comeback stalled out there. Moniak is up to 22 homers, 65 RBI, 57 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a .270/.307/.515 slash line through 127 contests.

Freeland (4-16) allowed six runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out one over 5.2 innings to take the loss versus the Marlins.

Freeland hadn't allowed six runs in a start since Aug. 6 versus the Blue Jays. He was fading in the sixth inning when a rain delay occurred, bringing his start to a close at 73 pitches (52 strikes). The veteran southpaw is now at a 5.14 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 113:36 K:BB through 150.2 innings across 29 starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Angels over the weekend.

Henriquez allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Henriquez entered the game with two outs in the eighth inning after Michael Petersen let Colorado get on the board. In the ninth, Henriquez also ran into some trouble, but he had just enough wiggle room to close out his first save since July 22. It appears the Marlins simply wanted to get the right-hander some work, as nominal top ninth-inning option Calvin Faucher should have been available Tuesday. Henriquez has mostly worked as a setup man this year, earning seven saves and 24 holds while pitching to a 2.43 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 91:24 K:BB over 66.2 innings. Prior to this game, he had not allowed an earned run since July 27 versus the Brewers.
