Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mets.

He kicked off the afternoon by taking Sean Manaea deep, giving Schwarber his 36th homer of the season and his 15th leadoff homer -- extending the major-league record he set Sept. 10. The veteran slugger is one RBI shy of his second straight 100-RBI campaign, and with seven games left on the Phillies' schedule, he still has an outside shot at his third straight 40-homer season.

Suarez came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mets, giving up two runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.

The southpaw exited the mound after 91 pitches (57 strikes) with the score tied 2-2, and both New York runs came on second-inning solo shots by Francisco Alvarez and Luisangel Acuna. Suarez hasn't completed six innings in a start since the All-Star break, and his last quality start came back on June 25. In six starts since returning from back trouble in late August, he's posted a 4.30 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB through 29.1 innings. He lines up to make his last start of the regular season on the road next weekend against the Nationals, but with the Phillies having clinched the NL East, they could shuffle things around to set up their postseason rotation.

Benson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Pirates.

Benson, who has started just five of 19 games this month, was in the starting lineup for a second straight contest. He singled, stole second base and waltzed home on an Elly De La Cruz home run. The stolen base was Benson's second in as many games and upped his season total to 16.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the White Sox.

Bogaerts launched a two-run homer on a hanging cutter from Chris Flexen in his first trip to the plate to put San Diego up 2-0 early. It marked the shortstop's 11th long ball on the campaign and his fourth this month, during which he's batting just .234 with 10 RBI and six runs scored. Bogaerts has also hit safely in each of his last three contests, though he had gone five games without recording a run or an RBI coming into Saturday.

Scott picked up the save in a win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing one hit and one walk over a scoreless 1.2 innings while striking out three.

Scott took the mound in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and one out. He got Dominic Fletcher to ground into a double play to end the threat, then returned for the top of the ninth with a four-run lead. In that frame, Scott got the first two batters to go down on strikes before allowing a single to Chuckie Robinson and then a walk to Miguel Vargas. However, the right-handed reliever managed to get the last batter to go down swinging for the final out, notching his 22nd save of the campaign and only his second this month. It also marked Scott's fourth outing this season in which he posted at least three strikeouts, and he now carries a robust 17:5 K:BB in September. Robert Suarez remains San Diego's preferred recipient of save opportunities, but manager Mike Shildt didn't deploy him Saturday after the right-hander blew a save and threw 27 pitches Friday.

Moll (shoulder impingement) is being shut down for the season, MLB.com reports.

The Reds want Moll to focus on offseason treatments. The left-hander had been dealing with a shoulder injury since mid-June, but it worsened Sept. 6 while he was warming up in the bullpen. Moll ends the year with a 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 38 strikeouts and 14 walks over 37.2 innings.

Perez (5-5) picked up the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Perez retired seven of the first eight batters he faced before issuing two free passes in the top of the third. The veteran right-hander was able to work his way out of the jam, however, and allowed just one run through five frames before again running into trouble in the sixth. Perez would then be relieved by Bryan Hoeing with one out in the inning, though the former was still able to log his fifth win of the campaign and his third as a member of the Padres. He's now allowed one run or fewer in each of his last three starts and carries a very strong 1.08 ERA in September to go along with a 13:5 K:BB.

Bell entered as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in Saturday's 5-0 win over Milwaukee.

Bell stayed in the game to serve as the designated hitter but didn't get any more plate appearances. Saturday's appearance was his first since last Sunday. The September returns of Christian Walker, Ketel Marte and more recently, Lourdes Gurriel, give the Diamondbacks more lineup options, limiting Bell's opportunities. Bell, who had 112 plate appearances during the month of August over 26 games, has just 43 this month with seven games left in the regular season.

Herrera went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Brewers.

Herrera turned on an Aaron Civale curveball and sent it over the right field fence for his first home run of the season. He had been getting steady at-bats earlier this month, but that's no longer the case since Gabriel Moreno was activated off the injured list a week ago. Herrera is batting .226/.277/.312 over 39 games in 2024.

Walker went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk against the Guardians in Saturday's 6-5 victory.

Walker opened the scoring in the contest with a two-run shot to left field in the fourth inning. The young outfielder has been productive of late, batting .269 (7-for-26) with three home runs and eight RBI over his past eight contests. Walker looks to be finishing 2024 on a strong note following a disappointing start to the season that resulted in him spending most of the campaign in the minors.
