Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Goldschmidt opened up the scoring with a two-run double in the third and then made some more noise with a solo blast to center in the fifth. It was his fourth game with three RBI or more this season and brought him up to five extra-base hits in 14 games this month. Though he certainly hasn't replicated his 2022 MVP form, Goldschmidt has produced another solid year, slashing .273/.366/.456 with 25 homers, 78 RBI, 85 runs and an 81:152 BB:K in 648 plate appearances.

Hudson allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings Sunday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Hudson allowed just one hit through the first three innings, but the Phillies finally got to him with three runs in the fourth. Shockingly enough, Hudson's three strikeouts were his most in a start since he had seven Aug. 20. He had just five strikeouts in his previous four starts and has only managed to reach six innings once in his last six starts. The 28-year-old is up to a 5.12 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 40:30 K:BB in 70.1 innings. He's projected to face the Padres on the road in his next outing.

Walker gave up five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three over seven innings Sunday against the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

The Cardinals got to Walker for three runs in the third and two runs in the fifth, but he ended strong with two shutout innings and was able to provide the Phillies with some length. It's just the second start in the last seven games he's managed to go more than six innings, a span during which he's struggled to a 5.85 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and has just 29 strikeouts in 40 innings. The 30-year-old currently projects for a home matchup against his former team in the Mets.

Castellanos went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Castellanos provided a clutch base hit in the eighth to knot things up at 5-5 and also notched a stolen base for the second consecutive game. The 31-year-old has 11 hits, 10 RBI and three steals over his last nine games, making it the first time in his 10-year career that he's reached double-digit steals (he has 10) in a season. Castellanos has resurfaced as one of the more dangerous bats in the Phillies' lineup this year. He's now slashing .272/.310/.458 with 24 homers, 95 RBI, 73 runs and a 33:173 BB:K in 629 plate appearances.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Bohm swatted his first home run since Sept. 3 with a solo blast in the eighth inning and extended his hitting streak to seven games. He has 11 hits and five RBI over those seven games and is now up to 91 RBI on the year, giving him a chance to reach 100 RBI for the first time in his career. The 26-year-old has provided a steady bat for the majority of the season, as he's now slashing .281/.337/.439 with 17 home runs, 69 runs and a 41:87 BB:K in 563 plate appearances.

Woodruff did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and zero walks over six innings against Washington. He struck out six.

A two-out solo homer by Luis Garcia in the second inning was the only blemish to Woodruff's line, as the hurler allowed only two other baserunners in his six innings. However, an anemic Brewers offense was able to manufacture just one run in support of Woodruff, who was looking for his sixth win of the season in 10 starts. It was Woodruff's fifth consecutive quality start, and he now holds an ERA of 1.06 with 38 strikeouts in 34 innings over that stretch. He'll look continue his hot streak in his next start, currently scheduled to take place in Miami over the weekend.

Corbin did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings against Milwaukee. He struck out two.

Corbin held the Brewers scoreless through five to maintain a 1-0 lead, but Mark Canha led off the sixth with a leadoff single and a steal of second. A sacrifice bunt and sacrifice fly followed as the Brewers manufactured their way to tie the game against Corbin, costing him a chance at earning his 11th win. After having allowed 14 runs over nine innings in his previous two starts, Corbin tossed his second consecutive quality start to improve his ERA to an even 5.00 over 171 innings. His next start is scheduled to take place over the weekend at home against Atlanta.

Luzardo (10-9) allowed four hits and two walks over six shutout frames Sunday, striking out eight and earning a win against Atlanta.

Luzardo worked around a bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning but didn't face much of a threat otherwise. He's turned in three scoreless performances over his last five starts, posting a 2.48 ERA during that span and lowering his season ERA to 3.68. However, he's allowed at least four runs in four of his eight outings since the start of August. Luzardo's next start is currently projected to be at home against the Brewers.

Rogers (lat) has been playing catch out to 75 feet up to four times per week as of Friday, MLB.com reports.

The Marlins haven't officially shut Rogers down for the season, but the 25-year-old southpaw already seems to be turning his focus to getting healthy for spring training after suffering a partial tear of his right lat in early June while he was on a rehab assignment. Rogers, who was initially placed on the injured list April 21 with a left biceps strain, is expected to continue his throwing progression through the end of the season even though the Marlins seemingly don't have plans to activate him.

Morton (14-12) allowed six runs on six hits and five walks over 4.2 innings Sunday. He struck out five and took a loss against Miami.

Morton kept the Marlins off the board for two innings before coughing up five runs in the third, including Jazz Chisholm's grand slam. After yielding three runs during a five-start stretch, Morton has been tagged with 10 runs in his last two appearances. His season ERA has climbed to 3.66 with a 182:81 K:BB through 162.1 frames. Morton's next start is lined up to be in Washington.
