Turner went 2-for-4 with two steals and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Mets.

Turner had two of the five hits the Phillies managed in the game and swiped multiple bases for the second time in his last three contests. He has at least one hit in seven of his last eight games, posting a .343 average over that span. Turner is treading around the .300 mark for the season once again, slashing .298/.342/.465 with 19 homers, 59 RBI, 84 runs, 19 steals and a 27:94 BB:K in 514 plate appearances.

Wheeler (16-7) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven innings.

Wheeler gave up an early run in the second inning and kept the Phillies in it until Brandon Nimmo led off the sixth with a solo home run to put the Mets ahead 2-1, which wound up being the final score. Sunday was only Wheeler's second loss since the beginning of August, and he's now reeled off 10 straight quality starts. Wheeler sits third in baseball in wins, ERA (2.56) and WHIP (0.96), and he's fourth in innings pitched (193.2) and fifth in strikeouts (213). He lines up for a matchup with the Nationals in his final start of the regular season.

Helsley threw a perfect inning and earned a save against Cleveland on Sunday.

Helsley retired Cleveland's 1-2-3 hitters in order on 11 pitches to close out the 2-1 victory. He moved back ahead of Emmanuel Clase for the solo MLB lead with 47 saves. Helsley has converted five save chances in a row since blowing one in Milwaukee on Sept. 3, and he has not allowed an earned run since Aug. 6. He owns a 2.09 ERA with a 77:23 K:BB through 64.2 innings. Helsley could become the first closer to reach 50 saves since Edwin Diaz in 2018.

Pallante (8-8) yielded one run on a hit and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out four and earning a win against Cleveland.

Pallante kept the Guardians off the board through five innings before finally coughing up a run in the sixth. It was his second straight seven-inning performance after failing to complete six frames in each of his previous three outings. He registered a 13:3 K:BB while allowing only one run and earning a pair of wins in his last two starts. Pallante lowered his season ERA to 3.71 with a 90:48 K:BB through 116.1 innings. He's scheduled to wrap up his 2024 season with a start in San Francisco this weekend.

Suarez earned the save Sunday against the White Sox, allowing one hit and striking out two during a scoreless ninth inning.

Suarez allowed just a two-out single before striking out Gavin Sheets to end the game. Sunday was just his second outing with multiple strikeouts since Aug. 10, and he's converted just three of his past six save chances and has given up seven runs in that span. Suarez has still been elite in his first season as a closer overall, as he owns a 2.71 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 58:15 K:BB in 63 innings while racking up 34 saves.

Darvish did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 win over the White Sox, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out nine over 6.1 innings.

Outside of a pair of solo home runs from Korey Lee and Miguel Vargas, Darvish made the White Sox hitters look silly and tied his season high with nine strikeouts. He threw 87 pitches, which is the most he's thrown in four starts since returning from the injured list. Darvish also became the first Japanese-born pitcher to reach 2,000 career strikeouts in MLB. Darvish has now allowed two runs or fewer while reaching at least five innings in each of his last three starts and lines up for a start against the Diamondbacks before the end of the regular season.

Profar went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

Profar knotted the game up in the bottom of the third with a solo home run and then put the Padres ahead for good with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. He now has at least one hit in 13 of his last 15 games but has only driven in four runs despite posting a .345 average during that span. Profar continues to shine in his 31-year-old season, slashing .285/.385/.469 with 24 homers, 85 RBI, 90 runs, 10 steals and a 75:96 BB:K in 646 plate appearances.

Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

Tatis gave the Padres a bit of breathing room with a solo home run in the eighth inning to put them up 4-2. The homer also extended his hitting streak to 11 games, a stretch during which he's slashing .340/.354/.809 with six homers, 11 RBI, 10 runs and two steals.

Senzatela did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings.

The Rockies gave Senzatela a quick 3-0 lead in the first and he departed after five innings with a 4-1 lead with his only mistake being a fourth-inning solo homer by Teoscar Hernandez. Senzatela is in search of his first win since the 2022 season and was let down by his bullpen after they gave up three in the seventh and two more in the ninth. He'll have one more chance to get in the win column before the end of the campaign, and it will be a rematch with the Dodgers in Colorado this weekend.

Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

Rodgers had three hard hit balls in play and had a double that would've been a home run in 11 ballparks. Rodgers last homered Aug. 30 and has just five RBI in September while hitting .183 with a 36.4 percent strikeout rate through 18 games this month.
