Goodman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Goodman came up big with a game-tying home run off Kevin Ginkel in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old catcher has started six of the Rockies last eight games and has four homers over that stretch. Goodman has been a pleasant surprise in the power department with 12 homers in 64 games this season, but he lacks in other categories as he's hitting just .190 with a .651 OPS.

Tovar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Tovar showed of his power Monday when he took Merrill Kelly deep to the right-center field bullpen. It was Tovar's 24th homer of the season, which ties him with Michael Toglia for the team lead. Tovar entered August slashing .290/.314/.491 but has struggled mightily since to the tune of .194/.229/.388 with six homers and 16 RBI over his last 40 games.

Arraez left Monday's game against Houston due to an apparent lower-body injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Arraez appeared to suffer the injury during a play at the plate in the bottom of the fifth inning and limped off the field with the team trainer. He was later able to take his scheduled at-bat in the seventh and swatted a double, but the Padres elected to deploy a pinch runner after Arraez limped into second base. The 27-year-old is likely headed back to the clubhouse for further evaluation and can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information on his status moving forward.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and three strikeouts in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Marte got the scoring started Monday when he took Antonio Senzatela deep in the first inning. The 32 home runs have tied Marte's career high he set during the 2019 season. The 30-year-old seems to be finding his power stroke again since returning from an ankle injury, as he now has two homers and six RBI over his last five games. Overall, Marte is slashing .292/.366/.553 with 87 RBI in 124 games this season.

Senzatala (elbow) came away with a no-decision in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks. He struck out two over three innings while allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks.

After completing his recovery from the Tommy John procedure he underwent last July, Senzatela made his 2024 debut for the Rockies. He got off to a rough start, allowing a triple and home run to the first two batters he faced. However, Senzatela settled in nicely after that to get through three innings, though it took him 67 pitches to record his nine outs. He could see his workload ramp up while he likely makes two more starts before season's end.

Civale (7-8) earned the win against the Phillies on Monday, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk with six strikeouts over five innings.

Civale opened with four scoreless frames before surrendering a solo home run to Brandon Marsh in the fifth. The 29-year-old has gone 5-0 over his past seven outings while completing at least five innings in six of them. He owns a 3.68 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 58:21 K:BB across 63.2 innings with the Brewers and lines up to face the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Nicolas was removed from Monday's game against the Cardinals after facing one batter due to a left side injury, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The severity of the right-hander's injury is unclear at this time, though skipper Derek Shelton noted after the game that Nicolas is being sent for further evaluation. He'll be labeled day-to-day until more information surfaces.

Doyle went 2-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases and a run scored in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Doyle singled and stole a base in the first inning, then did the same in the ninth inning before scoring the game-winning run. Doyle recorded his first multi-hit game since Aug. 29. The 26-year-old had been in the midst of a slump, slashing .177/.185/.196 over his last 14 games. It was Doyle's fourth game of multiple steals this season, and he's now one away from a 20-30 season.

Suarez (12-7) took the loss against the Brewers on Monday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Suarez battled but was mostly inefficient, needing 104 pitches to get through five frames. The southpaw has walked multiple batters in three straight starts and has failed to complete six innings in each of his five outings since returning from the injured list Aug. 24. On the season, he owns a 3.13 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 139:36 K:BB across 143.2 innings and lines up to face the Mets on the road this weekend.

Pallante (7-8) got the win Monday against the Pirates, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out nine over seven scoreless innings.

Pallante was stellar on Monday as he shut down the Pirates over seven innings -- his second career start of seven or more shutout innings. Pallante also recorded a career-high nine strikeouts in the process. The 25-year-old has been a serviceable option for the Cardinals since being inserted into the rotation May 29. He's pitched to a 3.62 ERA in 99.1 innings as a starter this season.
