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.

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.

Valente Bellozo RP | COL
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.

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.

Paul Goldschmidt 1B | NYY
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.

Ryan Fernandez RP | STL
Cardinals' Ryan Fernandez: Takes loss Thursday
Fernandez (1-6) allowed four runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over one inning to take the loss Thursday versus the Rockies.
He didn't give up a home run, but the Rockies were able to connect for some loud contact against Fernandez in the eighth inning as they erased a three-run deficit. Prior to this appearance, Fernandez had allowed just one run over his last 11.2 innings despite allowing 10 hits and six walks in that span. The right-hander has pitched to a 3.51 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 71:32 K:BB with two saves, three blown saves and 12 holds over 66.2 innings this season as a 26-year-old rookie.

Freddie Freeman 1B | LAD
Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Exits Thursday's game
Freeman exited Thursday's game against the Padres with an apparent ankle injury, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
Freeman was attempting to avoid a tag at first base and rolled his ankle in the process. He walked off the field under his own power but immediately went to the clubhouse. The severity of the issue is unclear, though it wouldn't be a surprise for the Dodgers to rest him in hopes of a postseason return -- particularly if they can clinch the NL West on Thursday.

Honeywell was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a cracked right fingernail.
Honeywell has pitched 37.2 innings split between time with the Pirates and Dodgers. He's been effective in a low-leverage role since his most recent promotion Aug. 31, maintaining a 3.21 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 14 innings.

Anthony Banda RP | MIN
Dodgers' Anthony Banda: Back from injured list
