Outman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

Outman took Trevor Williams deep to right field to open up the second inning to extend the Dodgers' lead to 3-0. He now sits at 19 home runs for the year to go along with 15 stolen bases and has a chance to hit the 20-20 mark as a rookie. He could also become just the 10th Dodgers rookie in history to reach 20 home runs. Outman has reached base safely in 15 of his last 17 games, and he is slashing .273/.423/.491 with four homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs and a 13:22 BB:K over that span.

Young went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

Young continues to impress since being called up Aug. 26. The 23-year-old has recorded a hit in 11 straight games and has multiple hits in three of his last five. He's been batting leadoff against lefties and is now a perfect 4-of-4 in stolen base attempts. Young should continue to see a near everyday role down the final stretch of the season with the Nationals having nothing to play for.

Williams (6-10) suffered the loss Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing six runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings.

Williams allowed four runs to score through the first two frames, highlighted by a solo home run from James Outman in the second. He kept the Dodgers off the board in the third and fourth but exited the game in the fifth with the bases loaded following two walks and a single. He threw 101 pitches and just 55 strikes before departing the game and has now failed to reach five innings in five of his last seven starts while registering an 8.39 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 29:16 K:BB over that span. Williams has just two wins since the start of July and will look to find his groove again in a projected start against the Brewers.

Montero went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.

Montero has hit safely in seven of nine games in September, and three of them have been multi-hit efforts. The infielder is 11-for-28 (.393) this month with a home run, three doubles and three RBI. For the season, he's slashing .243/.289/.402 with six homers, 29 RBI, 28 runs scored and 12 doubles across 232 plate appearances. He's seeing consistent playing time between first base and designated hitter as the Rockies evaluate younger players toward the tail end of a lost season.

Lambert (3-7) gave up six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Giants.

The Rockies gave Lambert a 3-0 lead to work with in the second inning, but it was gone by the end of the third. The Giants teed off with three homers in this contest, the most Lambert's given up in an appearance this season. He's now at a 5.36 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 71:28 K:BB through 87.1 innings over 25 appearances (11 starts). The right-hander is projected for a rematch at home with the Giants in his next outing.

Cobb (hip) will start Monday's game against the Guardians, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Cobb has dealt with a left hip impingement over the second half of the 2023 campaign, and he recently received a cortisone injection that helped him avoid a trip to the injured list. Over his last five starts, he's posted a 5.67 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 27 innings.

Haniger went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Haniger hit safely for his third straight game, and he's homered in consecutive contests. This was his first multi-hit effort in nine contests since he returned from a fractured forearm. The veteran outfielder appears to be getting back on track at the plate. He's still slashing just .224/.277/.402 with six homers, 25 RBI, 24 runs scored and a stolen base over 49 contests this season.

Pederson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Pederson snapped a 13-game homer drought with his fifth-inning blast Sunday. During the power dry spell, he hit .275 with five RBI and four extra-base hits. The 31-year-old outfielder is up to 13 homers this year while adding 47 RBI, 52 runs scored, 12 doubles, three triples and a .246/.353/.430 slash line over 103 contests. He continues to split time between left field and designated hitter against right-handed pitchers.

Estrada went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a triple in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Estrada missed Friday's game with conjunctivitis, but he's been seeing the ball fine since he returned with two homers across his last two games. Prior to Saturday, he'd gone 20 games without a long ball. The second baseman is up to 12 homers, 20 stolen bases, 45 RBI, 56 runs scored and a .274/.319/.429 slash line over 101 contests this season.

Doval allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Doval has picked up three saves in five days after going over a week between opportunities. He allowed a run in his save Friday, but this was a sharper effort for the hard-throwing closer. For the season, he's up to 37 saves in 44 chances with a 2.98 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 81:24 K:BB through 60.1 innings overall.
