Cox went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.

Cox has gotten a decent run of playing time in September, and he's gone 10-for-35 (.286) over his 10 games this month. The outfielder's steal Friday was his 10th of the season. He's batting .286 with a .796 OPS, four home runs, 11 RBI, 21 runs scored, two doubles and two triples across 109 plate appearances.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.

Devers has racked up seven homers over his last 10 games while batting .351 (13-for-37) in that span. The first baseman ranks eighth in the majors with 36 homers through Friday's action, giving him his highest total since his career-high 38 in 2021. He's batting .258 with an .862 OPS, 96 RBI, 87 runs scored, 36 doubles and one triple over 147 contests.

Molina (3-1) allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings to take the loss Friday versus the Padres.

Molina got through the first inning without damage, but he struggled in the second and third before his early exit. He has allowed 12 runs (10 earned) over 17.1 innings in his four outings with the Giants. Between San Francisco and Atlanta this year, he has a 5.24 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB through 22.1 innings.

Taylor went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

Taylor has gone 6-for-25 (.240) with two steals over eight games since he returned from an oblique injury. The outfielder is filling a short-side platoon role in left field, though he was given the start Friday against an unproven right-hander in Anthony Molina. Taylor is batting .310 with a .775 OPS, one home run, eight steals, 11 RBI, 17 runs scored, two doubles and two triples over 130 plate appearances this year.

Merrill went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

Merrill has at least three hits in three of his last four games, adding nine RBI and two steals in that span. The outfielder has had some ups and downs this season but looks to be in a groove after a rough patch earlier in September. He's batting .248 with a .732 OPS, 24 home runs, 26 steals, 79 RBI, 76 runs scored, 24 doubles and four triples over 144 games.

Miller allowed a hit and two walks while striking out two over one scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

Miller loaded the bases but escaped the jam unscathed to earn the save. He's been dominant for much of the year, but he's allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits and four walks over his last eight innings. Miller is at a 1.16 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 115:23 K:BB with 35 saves in 37 chances over 62.1 innings this year.

Ray (12-8) allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings Friday, earning the win over the Giants.

Ray didn't exactly produce a revenge game against the team that dealt him to a division rival at the trade deadline, but he did enough to get the win. He's now allowed 10 runs across 7.1 innings over his two starts in September. For the season, the southpaw is at a 3.57 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 132:81 K:BB across 156.1 innings through 29 games (28 starts). He'll look to build off his 100th career win when he takes the mound in Colorado next week.

Arenado went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 9-1 win over the Rangers.

Arenado's power continues to trend well -- he has homered three times over his last five games while adding five RBI in that span. The third baseman has also drawn at least one walk in four straight contests, a big improvement after he earned just seven free passes in all of August. Arenado is batting .239 with a .756 OPS, 24 homers, 70 RBI, 68 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases through 138 games this year.

Carroll went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Carroll went yard as part of a five-run sixth inning for the Diamondbacks. The outfielder had missed the previous two games due to lower back discomfort. He reached the 20-homer mark Friday, but his power has been a little lacking recently, as he has just two long balls over his last 25 games. For the season, he's batting .240 with an .803 OPS, 63 RBI, 86 runs scored, 30 doubles, 16 triples and 21 stolen bases over 142 contests. Carroll has reached the 20-20 mark in each of his four full major-league seasons.

Kelly allowed one run on two hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out three over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Friday.

Kelly needed 80 pitches (48 strikes) to get through this start, with Joc Pederson's RBI double ending the right-hander's outing. The short outing kept Kelly from a third straight quality start. The 37-year-old has pitched to a 4.97 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 102:67 K:BB across 152 innings over 27 starts this season. Kelly's next start is tentatively projected to come at home versus the Yankees, but he could be moved up to face the Marlins instead if the Diamondbacks opt to piggyback Zac Gallen and Michael Soroka again.
