  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Swipes 11th bag in loss

    Tatis went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Tatis singled in his first at-bat and later drew a walk in the eighth before going on to steal his 11th base of the campaign. He's now hit safely in 13 of his last 14 games (including one game in which he only entered as a pinch hitter), batting .333 (19-for-57) over that stretch with seven homers, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored.

  • Dodgers' Walker Buehler: Solid over five frames

    Buehler did not factor into the decision in a win over the Padres on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out one.

    Buehler avoided much damage despite allowing at least one hit in four of his five innings of work. It marked the fifth consecutive start in which he was able to get through at least five innings, and he's allowed one run or fewer in two of his last three outings. Buehler did, however, post just one strikeout in Thursday's no-decision after fanning a season-high nine batters in his previous trip to the mound.

  • Joe Musgrove SP | SD

    Padres' Joe Musgrove: Third straight quality start

    Musgrove did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over 6.1 innings while striking out six.

    Musgrove retired 10 of the first 11 batters he faced and cruised through the first six innings before allowing a two-run home run to Max Muncy in the seventh to tie the game at 2-2. The right-hander was eventually relieved by Tanner Scott with one out in the frame, but not before logging his third consecutive quality start. Musgrove has also recorded at least six strikeouts in each of last five outings while issuing only four free passes over that stretch. He now carries a 2.51 ERA in September to go along with a 2-1 record.

  • Jesus Sanchez DH | ARI

    Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Swipes bag, reaches four times

    Sanchez went 3-for-6 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over Minnesota.

    Sanchez drew a walk in the fifth inning and then reached base on singles in each of his next three trips to the plate, but he was left stranded on each occasion. He was, however, able to swipe his 15th bag of the season and his fifth in the month of September while also extending his hitting streak to five games. The performance marked Sanchez's eighth game this season in which he tallied three or more hits. On the downside, he's struck out multiple times in three straight contests.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Reaches five times in win

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with an RBI, three runs, three walks and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Twins.

    The infielder walked to lead off the contest before coming around to score Miami's first run on a Jake Burger double. Edwards later added an RBI single in the fifth, a double in the ninth and a stolen base in the 13th after drawing his third walk of the contest. He scored three times on the night, which marked a season high, as did his three free passes. He's tallied multiple hits in three straight games and is up to 31 stolen bases on the campaign, with nine of those thefts coming in September.

  • Jesus Tinoco RP | MIA

    Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Hit with first blown save

    Tinoco was charged with a blown save in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Twins, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over 1.2 innings while striking out one.

    Tinoco took over for Anthony Bender with one out and a man on first in the bottom of the eighth and coughed up back-to-back hits to allow two runners to come home, tying the game at 4-4. He was then able to get through the frame without sustaining any further damage before pitching a scoreless ninth. It marked the right-hander's first blown save this season after converting his previous three opportunities this month. It also marked the second time in his last five appearances that he allowed three hits and at least one run. On a positive note, Tinoco has recorded at least one strikeout in three straight outings.

  • Marlins' Valente Bellozo: Solid in no-decision

    Bellozo did not factor into the decision in an extra-innings win over the Twins on Thursday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over five-plus innings while striking out two.

    Bellozo allowed at least one man to reach base in three of the first five innings but managed to work his way out of the jam on each occasion as the Marlins jumped out to a 4-0 lead. However, the Twins finally got to the right-hander in the sixth when Carlos Correa launched a solo homer to lead off the frame. Bellozo then got the hook after giving up a single to the next batter, marking the fourth consecutive start in which he has failed to make it through six innings. However, the 24-year-old also hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his five starts this month, giving him a strong 2.67 ERA in September to go along with a 12:6 K:BB.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Out for regular season

    Freeman (ankle) was seen on crutches and in a walking boot following Thursday's game against the Padres and will not return during the regular season, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Freeman rolled his ankle attempting to avoid a tag at first base on an off-target throw, but the Dodgers said he avoided structural damage. He is expected to be ready for the postseason.

  • Ivan Herrera DH | STL

    Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Homers in Thursday's loss

    Herrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.

    This was Herrera's second homer in his last four games, though he hasn't seen steady playing time in that span. He got a start at designated hitter Thursday with Pedro Pages behind the dish. Herrera has hit well but not for much power this year with a .298/.368/.427 slash line, five home runs, 27 RBI, 37 runs scored, 12 doubles and five stolen bases over 71 contests.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Smacks 22nd homer

    Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.

    Goldschmidt went back-to-back with Lars Nootbaar in the first inning. This long ball ended a 19-game homer drought for Goldschmidt, who hit just .197 (13-for-66) in that span. The first baseman is up to 22 homers on the year, but his .241/.299/.403 slash line represents career-low numbers across the board. He's added 62 RBI, 69 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 152 games.
