Lynn (12-11) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Tigers on Monday.

Lynn gave up a three-run home run to Jake Rogers in the fifth inning, but that was the extent of the damage. While he's given up 10 homers over his last five starts, Lynn has won three of those outings. He's at a 5.92 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 181:60 K:BB through 171.2 innings over 30 starts between the Dodgers and the White Sox this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Giants over the weekend.

Rodgers went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Monday's 11-9 loss to the Padres.

Rodgers has three multi-hit efforts in a row and a five-game hitting streak. He's struggled to generate runs lately, as he had just three RBI over his previous 22 contests before knocking in a pair of runs on RBI singles in the second and ninth innings Monday. Rodgers is slashing .252/.317/.315 with no home runs, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored, six doubles and a triple through 34 games this season.

Jones went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 11-9 loss to the Padres.

This was Jones' second three-hit effort in a row. The outfielder has looked good in September, going 20-for-66 (.303) with four homers and 15 RBI over 17 contests. The 25-year-old is slashing .281/.366/.520 with 17 long balls, 54 RBI, 54 runs scored and 13 stolen bases through 94 games this season. Jones should continue to see most of the playing time in left field to close out the campaign.

Blach (3-2) allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Padres.

For the second time in three starts, Blach allowed three home runs. They accounted for six of the season-high seven runs scored against Blach in this start. He's given up 19 runs across 19.2 innings in September after pitching fairly well in August (3.71 ERA over 26.2 innings). The southpaw has a 5.32 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB through 67.2 innings over 18 appearances (11 starts) this season. Blach is lined up for a road outing against the Cubs over the weekend.

Tatis went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

Taris extended his hitting streak to seven games, a span in which he's gone 11-for-29 (.379) with four multi-hit efforts. He's also notched two steals in that span, giving him 27 thefts in 31 attempts this season. The outfielder is slashing .264/.329/.466 with 25 home runs, 77 RBI and 87 runs scored through 130 contests, matching his career high in games played from 2021.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

Bogaerts didn't get a chance to go for the home run he needed for the cycle, but he showed off some impressive speed Monday. He stole home and hit his first triple of the season in the contest, which was his fifth multi-hit effort over his last six games. The shortstop is up to a .279/.348/.433 slash line with 18 home runs, 51 RBI, 75 runs scored, 17 steals and 29 doubles through 144 contests. He hit leadoff Monday with Ha-Seong Kim (abdomen) out of the lineup -- Bogaerts has primarily hit fifth over the last month.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

Rosario has gone 5-for-19 (.263) over his first five games this season, and two of those hits have been homers. This was also his first multi-RBI effort in his career. The infielder has carved out some playing time at third base, sharing the hot corner with Matthew Batten, since Manny Machado (elbow) has been unable to play the field. There's no platoon situation here, but Rosario seems set to be in the lineup about half of the time down the stretch, and perhaps more if Batten has to continue filling in for Ha-Seong Kim (abdomen) at second base.

Cooper went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

Cooper had struggled recently, going 1-for-13 over his previous seven games, though he had four walks in that span. His second-inning blast got the Padres on the board in this contest. The first baseman has a career-high 16 homers while adding 59 RBI, 40 runs scored, 17 doubles, a triple and a .252/.301/.421 slash line through 115 games between San Diego and Miami this season.

Campusano went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

Campusano has provided at least one RBI in eight of his last 11 games, knocking in 14 runs over that span. The catcher's third-inning blast put the Padres ahead for good in this contest. He's up to seven long balls, 29 RBI, 26 runs scored and six doubles while slashing .307/.344/.487 through 45 contests. He should continue to see a majority of the playing time behind the dish for the remainder of the season.

Hader allowed two hits without giving up a run in one-third of an inning to earn the save in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

The Padres' bullpen nearly blew an eight-run lead, but Hader was eventually able to end the Rockies' comeback hopes despite allowing an inherited runner to score. While far from a pretty effort, Hader was able to secure his 30th save of the season, which was his second in a three-day span after he saw light usage in early September. He's now at a 1.26 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 79:28 K:BB through 50 innings this season.
