Carrigg went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Padres.

Carrigg had a two-run blast in the third inning and boosted the Rockies' lead with a three-run homer in the sixth. The rookie is up to 10 homers on the season, including four over 13 contests in September. He's batting .270 with an .812 OPS, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored, 21 doubles, four triples and nine stolen bases through 82 games this season.

Feltner (6-10) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out five over five scoreless innings of relief to earn the win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Feltner stayed on normal rest for this appearance out of the bullpen, having last pitched Thursday versus the Yankees. He had lost his last five outings as a starter, posting a 6.93 ERA over 24.2 innings in that span. The right-hander is at a 5.63 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 88:50 K:BB through 116.2 innings over 24 games (22 starts) this season. While the Rockies' pitching plans are in flux going forward, Feltner's success in bulk relief could put him in a position to piggyback Kyle Freeland again as the latter ends the year on a limited workload due to a recent stint on the injured list.

Freeland allowed three runs on eight hits and struck out one without walking a batter over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.

Freeland returned from a stint on the injured list due to cervical radiculopathy and threw 50 pitches (36 strikes). All three runs he gave up came on solo home runs. Ryan Feltner covered the last five innings, and with Freeland not at a full workload, a piggyback arrangement could be in store for his next turn through the rotation. Freeland has a 6.38 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 104:28 K:BB through 128.1 innings over 24 starts this season.

Arenado was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to right thumb inflammation.

Arenado went 1-for-3 before his thumb forced him out of the game in the seventh inning. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but if the 35-year-old has to miss time beyond Tuesday, Ildemaro Vargas would likely be the next man up to start at the hot corner.

Hill went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, three RBI and a walk during Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Cardinals.

Hill belted his first career home run in the ninth inning off Cade Winquest to extend the Giants' lead. The 27-year-old also contributed an RBI single and an RBI groundout earlier in the game. Hill is now slashing .250/.351/.363 with one homer and 15 RBI over 97 plate appearances this season.

Pallante (12-7) took the loss after allowing eight runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks over five innings against San Francisco on Tuesday. He struck out two.

Pallante gave up his most runs since his outing against Milwaukee on July 9 where he also yielded six runs. The 27-year-old came into this start with four straight no-decisions and has yet to pick up a win since Aug. 5. This year, the right-hander owns a 3.70 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 104:47 K:BB over 151 innings. Pallante is slated to make his next start Sept. 22 against the Pirates.

Burleson went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and two strikeouts during Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Giants.

Burleson clubbed a solo shot in the first inning against Blade Tidwell for his 23rd blast and league-leading 111th RBI of the campaign. Over his last seven games, the 27-year-old is slashing .350/.519/.600 with one homer and seven RBI in 27 plate appearances. Burleson was pinch-hit for in the eighth inning by Nolan Gorman.

Tidwell (1-2) earned the win after allowing two runs on three hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against St. Louis on Tuesday. He struck out four.

Tidwell recorded his first quality start of the season. The right-hander allowed just three hits, with one being a solo homer by Alec Burleson in the first inning. This year, the 25-year-old has posted a 4.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB over 53.1 innings. Tidwell is slated to make his next start Monday against Minnesota.

Eldridge went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, an RBI double, two runs scored, a walk and a strikeout during Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Cardinals.

Eldridge has now recorded at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 games. The 21-year-old blasted a two-run homer off Andre Pallante in the first inning to get the scoring started for the Giants. In his last 30 games, Eldridge is slashing .327/.414/.558 with six homers and 29 RBI over 131 plate appearances.

Webb (6-5) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk while retiring only two batters out of the bullpen.

Staked to a 3-2 lead in the top of the seventh inning, Webb served up a two-run home run to Ozzie Albies, which was ultimately the deciding play in the game before Atlanta tacked on two more run for a 6-3 win. The righty reliever has been scuffling lately, as he's allowed two or more earned runs in five of his last eight appearances, and he has a brutal 14.85 ERA during the stretch. Webb has mostly been good this year for the Cubs overall, though he's not carrying much momentum into the postseason, and he may slot into more of a middle-relief role once the playoffs begin.
