Dollander has a 2.25 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 58 strikeouts in 48 innings through nine starts for Double-A Hartford.

All told, he has a 2.59 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 169 strikeouts in 118 innings across 23 starts between High-A and Double-A. Dollander is one of the best pitchers in the minors, but his dynasty value doesn't match his real-life value, given that he'll be pitching half his games in Coors Field.

Morales slashed .342/.478/.691 with 14 home runs and 12 steals in 201 plate appearances in the Dominican Summer League.

A 6-foot-3 shortstop who was born in Spain and trained in the Dominican Republic, Morales received $1.9 million as one of the top prospects in the Jan. 15, 2024 international signing class. He is already pretty big for the six, so as he fills out his frame, Morales may end up as a slugging third baseman rather than a five-category shortstop.

Susana logged a 2.40 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 27 strikeouts in 15 innings over his final three starts for High-A Wilmington.

The big righty had a pair of 10-strikeout performances to put a bow on his age-20 campaign. His fielding-independent stats paint a better picture (FIP and xFIP below 3.00 at Single-A and High-A) than his 4.34 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 103.2 innings across the two levels. Susana's 35.4 percent strikeout rate ranked fourth in the minors among pitchers who threw 100-plus innings this season.

White threw exactly five innings in each of his final eight starts for High-A Beloit, logging a 2.25 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 42 strikeouts in 40 innings over that stretch.

The lanky 6-foot-5 southpaw seemingly got better as the season went on, logging a 2.61 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 21.7 K-BB% in 13 starts at High-A after logging a 3.18 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 17.2 K-BB% in eight starts for Single-A Jupiter to begin the year. White has long limbs and has struggled to throw strikes at times, but he showed impressive consistency down the stretch. He may head to Double-A for the beginning of his age-20 season, and if he throws enough strikes, he could finish 2025 as one of the game's top pitching prospects.

Bailey went 3-for-4 with a double and one run scored in Wednesday's 13-2 win over the Brewers.

Bailey has gone 8-for-25 (.320) in September, though he's been held hitless in five of his nine games this month. The catcher is slashing .235/.298/.340 with seven home runs, 42 RBI, 41 runs scored and three stolen bases through 108 contests overall. He should continue to handle a starting role behind the dish with Curt Casali as his backup.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-8 victory over the Cubs.

Hernandez rejoined Los Angeles' lineup Wednesday after missing four games due to a left ankle contusion. The All-Star outfielder looked recovered from the injury in his return, as he not only reached base three times but also swiped his 11th bag of the campaign. Hernandez appears set to be an everyday presence in the lineup moving forward, and he needs two more homers to reach 30 for just the second time in his career.

Smith went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and a double in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Cubs.

Smith hit the middle of back-to-back-to-back homers for the Dodgers in the first inning and added a double in the seventh, subsequently scoring the go-ahead run. The All-Star catcher went through a prolonged rough stretch at the plate following the break, beginning the second half of the season by batting .165 with a 24.4 percent strikeout rate over his first 28 games. Smith has shown signs of bouncing back since then, however, slashing .278/.316/.500 with two home runs, two doubles, four runs and seven RBI across his past nine contests.

Fitzgerald went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 13-2 win over the Brewers.

Fitzgerald has kept his bat warm in September, going 12-for-35 (.343) over nine contests, though he's produced just one RBI this month. The shortstop is now at a .297/.352/.532 slash line with 14 home runs, 17 stolen bases, 31 RBI and 49 runs scored over 83 games. Wednesday was the first time he's hit leadoff versus a right-handed pitcher since Aug. 25 -- he hit between second and seventh for 13 consecutive games. The Giants haven't faced a southpaw since Aug. 21, though that streak of opposing righties is projected to end Sunday if Martin Perez (paternity list) returns as expected for the Padres.

Muncy went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs Wednesday in a 10-8 victory versus the Cubs.

Muncy was part of a huge Los Angeles first inning during which the team homered four times. The third baseman knocked the third of back-to-back-to-back long balls in that frame, following Tommy Edman and Will Smith. Muncy has three home runs in his past four games and has drawn four walks during that stretch.

Ramos went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 13-2 win over the Brewers.

Ramos has been held hitless in three of his last nine games, batting .206 (7-for-34) in that span. The outfielder has maintained a starting role in left field, but he's mired in a 14-game homer drought. For the year, he's posted a .270/.325/.472 slash line, 20 homers, 67 RBI, 46 runs scored and six steals over 106 contests.
