Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of his start Sunday against the Pirates.

The rookie right-hander made his last start in the majors Aug. 21 versus the Mets and was tagged for seven earned runs over 4.1 frames, but he'll receive another opportunity Sunday. Winans has made two other starts for Atlanta this season and fared much better in those outings with a 1.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 11.1 innings.

Taylor went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and a steal in Saturday's win over the Yankees.

Taylor's leadoff homer in the top of the eighth gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead and kicked off a three-run inning for the team. He would then come around to score a second time in the ninth, this time on a William Contreras single after the outfielder singled and stole second. The home run was Taylor's first since Aug. 23, and he's now hit safely in four of his last five games. For the month he's batting .250 with three RBI and five runs scored.

Miley did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out three.

Miley retired 10 of the first 12 batters he faced but ran into trouble in the fourth after issuing a one-out walk to Gleyber Torres. Two runs would end up coming across for New York in the inning before the lefty was replaced by Elvis Peguero. Miley had gone at least five innings in five consecutive starts coming in, and Saturday marked his shortest outing since May 16. He's now issued three walks in back-to-back starts and holds a 4.50 ERA in September to go along with a 7:6 K:BB.

Lopez was a late addition to Saturday's starting lineup at second base after Noelvi Marte was scratched with a facial contusion. Lopez went 1-for-2 with an RBI and was ejected for arguing a called third strike.

Lopez made an immediate impact, preventing a run with a nice diving stop for the third out of the second inning. He then doubled home a run in the bottom half of the frame. He was later ejected along with manager David Bell in the fourth inning for arguing called strikes. Lopez joined the major-league club Saturday amid the Reds' COVID-19 outbreak.

Carroll went 2-for-4 with two steals and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Cubs.

Carroll scored the Diamondbacks' lone run in regulation when he singled, stole second and eventually came home on Gabriel Moreno's productive groundout in the fifth inning. The outfielder is having quite a series at Wrigley, going 6-for-12 with six stolen bases, and he is up to 47 thefts in 138 games.

X-rays on Marte's right knee came back negative, but his status for Sunday's game remains uncertain, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports.

Marte stayed in the game Saturday after getting hit by a pitch on the right knee in the first inning but was eventually pulled in the seventh. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo wants to see how the knee progresses overnight before making a decision about Marte's status for the series finale.

Perdomo entered Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Cubs for an injured Ketel Marte (knee), played second base, and walked in his lone plate appearance.

Marte was hit by a pitch in the first inning but stayed in the game until the seventh, when the knee stiffened on him. Perdomo is expected to return to the starting lineup Sunday and could play either middle infield position. Both Marte and shortstop Jordan Lawlar (hand) were hit by pitches and are considered day-to-day heading into the series finale.

Lawlar batted second and was hit by a pitch on a knuckle of his right hand in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Cubs, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports. He remained in the game but is considered day-to-day.

Lawlar, who was hit by a pitch in the top of the 10th inning, stayed in the game and eventually scored the game-winning run. He also made a nice defensive play in the bottom of the 10th, but the Diamondbacks are awaiting results of imaging conducted following the game before making a determination of his status for the series finale Sunday. The prospect made a third consecutive start since being promoted from Triple-A Reno, and manager Torey Lovullo moved him up in the batting order against a left-hander. Lawlar batted eighth in his first two starts, which came against right-handers. He has one hit in 11 at-bats and has struck out six times over 12 plate appearances.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Marlins.

The slugger capped a five-run second inning for the Phillies by crushing a Johnny Cueto fastball deep to center field. Schwarber has 42 homers on the season, four back of the career high he set in 2022, and he's also one RBI short of matching the career-best 94 he tallied last year. He's been absolutely locked in over the last few weeks -- in his last 20 games, he's slashing .296/.474/.845 with 12 home runs, 19 RBI and 22 runs.

Nola came away with a no-decision Saturday in the Phillies' 8-4 win over the Marlins, giving up four runs on seven hits over 4.1 innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

The Phillies staked the veteran right-hander to an early 5-0 lead, but Nola nearly gave it all back in the top of the fifth as he got tagged for five straight hits before getting the hook -- a collapse that included three doubles and a Garrett Hampson solo shot. Nola has now failed to complete five innings in back-to-back starts -- a worrying trend for the 30-year-old as Philly tries to lock down a playoff spot -- and since the All-Star break he's stumbled to a 5.18 ERA in 57.1 innings while serving up 10 homers despite an otherwise solid 1.27 WHIP and 65:14 K:BB. He'll look to rebound in his next outing, likely to come next weekend in St. Louis.
