Bohm went 1-for-5 with three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's loss to Seattle.

Bohm drove in Philadelphia's first three runs of the game and also came around to score himself in the fifth on a Brandon Marsh single. The third baseman has now hit safely in five consecutive games and in eight of his last nine overall, tallying six doubles and a triple over that latter stretch to go along with five RBI and four runs scored. Bohm also swiped his fifth bag of the season in Saturday's loss, and it was his first since June 24 against the Tigers.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored while also drawing a walk in Saturday's win over the Athletics.

Hernandez doubled in his second at-bat before coming around to score the Dodgers' second run of the game on a Gavin Lux single. The outfielder went on to reach four times in the contest while also swiping his first bag since June 8 against the Yankees. Hernandez has now tallied multiple hits in back-to-back games and in three of his last five overall, batting .350 (7-for-20) over that latter stretch with three extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs scored.

The Cardinals are expected to place Siani (oblique) on the injured list prior to Sunday's game against the Cubs, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

The team has yet to disclose the severity of the right oblique injury that Siani sustained in Saturday's 5-4 win, but his pending move to the IL suggests that it's more than a day-to-day concern. The Cardinals plan to recall Victor Scott from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move, but it's unclear if Scott will immediately step into Siani's everyday role in center field or if he'll instead function as more of a late-inning defensive replacement and pinch runner. St. Louis could choose to open up regular room in the outfield for Brendan Donovan, Tommy Pham and Lars Nootbaar, though the club's outfield defense would take a big hit without rangier options like Siani or Scott patrolling center field.

The Cardinals are expected to recall Scott from Triple-A Memphis prior to Sunday's game against the Cubs, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

The imminent transaction would seem to indicate that the Cardinals are placing their top center fielder, Michael Siani (oblique), on the injured list. Though Scott fits the same speed and defense profile that Siani offers, it's not immediately clear if the Cardinals plan to turn to the rookie in an everyday role or if they'll prioritize offense from their outfielders by carving out regular spots for Tommy Pham, Lars Nootbaar and Brendan Donovan. After earning his way on the Cardinals' Opening Day roster with a strong spring training, Scott sputtered at the plate before being optioned to Memphis in late April, slashing just .085/.138/.136 over his first 65 big-league plate appearances.

Estevez (1-4) was charged with the loss in an extra-inning battle against the Mariners on Saturday, allowing one run on two walks over 1.2 innings while also hitting a batter with a pitch. He struck out two.

Estevez entered the game with the score tied in the bottom of the ninth and retired the side on 12 pitches before being brought back out for the 10th. The right-hander then proceeded to intentionally walk Cal Raleigh to open the frame before recording outs in the next two at-bats. However, things fell apart for Estevez after he hit Dylan Moore in the following at-bat, then walked Mitch Haniger to send home the winning run for Seattle. The two walks on the night marked a season high for the reliever, while the run that came home, albeit unearned, was the first that scored on his watch since May 21 against the Astros.

Gordon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

The lefty-hitting Gordon will take a seat against Atlanta southpaw Max Fried after starting in the outfield in each of the Marlins' last eight games while going 4-for-26 at the dish. Gordon is under club control through 2027, but the Marlins likely aren't overly invested in a 28-year-old who owns a .624 OPS this season and has largely served as a utility player during his time in the big leagues. As such, Gordon could be at risk of losing playing time against right-handed pitching down the stretch if the Marlins want to get more of an evaluation on younger outfield options on the 40-man roster such as Vidal Brujan, Cristian Pache, David Hensley and Victor Mesa.

Stowers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Stowers will hit the bench along with fellow lefty-hitting outfielder Nick Gordon as Atlanta sends All-Star southpaw Max Fried to the hill. Now that he's up in the big leagues with Miami, Stowers should at least retain a regular spot in the Miami outfield against right-handed pitching. Through his first four games with the Marlins following his acquisition from the Orioles at the trade deadline, Stowers went 1-for-15 with nine strikeouts.

Rivera will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Rivera has operated as a short-side platoon player for much of his time in the majors this season, but he started the first two games of the series against right-handed pitchers and will remain in the lineup for the finale while southpaw Max Fried toes the rubber for Atlanta. The uptick in playing time against right-handed pitching looks to be a byproduct of the Marlins shipping Josh Bell to the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, with the deal paving the way for Jake Burger to log more time at first base and designated hitter while Rivera gets more reps at third base.

Brujan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

On the bench for the third time in four games, Brujan looks to have moved into a utility role after he had previously handled a near-everyday role for most of July. Brujan's downturn in playing time comes while he's gone 2-for-16 with a 3:3 BB:K over his last seven contests.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Fortes and Ali Sanchez have now alternated turns behind the plate over the Marlins' last eight games, with both backstops getting four starts apiece. Since the All-Star break, Fortes has posted a .902 OPS compared to Sanchez's .063 mark during that same stretch, so Fortes should still be viewed as the Marlins' preferred option at catcher.
