Grisham went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base in Friday's 11-2 win over the Astros.

Grisham got things done in a variety of ways in the blowout victory. He's collected three multi-hit efforts over his first six games in September after ending August in an 0-for-26 slump. The outfielder is up to a .205/.315/.364 slash line with 13 homers, 14 steals, 46 RBI and 60 runs scored through 136 contests. He remains a regular in the lineup, though he's hit at the bottom of the order for a majority of the season.

Snell (13-9) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight over six innings to earn the win over the Astros on Friday.

Snell gave up runs for the first time in three outings, but he still delivered his sixth consecutive quality start. Over his last three starts, he's posted a 25:12 K:BB across 19 innings. Despite a walk rate that's been among the highest in the majors all year, Snell continues to put together solid outings and has a 2.52 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 209:92 K:BB through 161 innings over 29 starts. The southpaw is projected for a challenging road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Senga did not factor in the decision Friday, yielding two runs on four hits and four walks over six innings in the Mets' loss to the Twins. He struck out five.

It was a fairly lackluster performance for Senga compared to what he's been doing lately. While he turned in his 13th straight start with three or fewer earned runs allowed, he also walked four batters for the first time since June 10. Senga has registered a 2.65 ERA during that 13-game run, bringing his season mark down to 3.07. He's in line for a home matchup against Arizona next week.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Pirates.

Rosario snapped his 11-game homerless skid with a two-run shot in the fourth inning. He's strung together three straight multi-hit games, raising his season slash line to .266/.321/.486 through 123 games. Since the start of August, Rosario has gone 33-for-101 (.327) with 12 extra-base hits and 22 RBI.

Keller (11-9) yielded eight runs on 12 hits over five innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against Atlanta.

Keller didn't allow a lot of hard contact, but things began to unravel when Atlanta strung together six singles in the third inning. He also gave up eight runs against the Brewers on Aug. 3 but had allowed just eight total runs in his following five starts. His ERA rose to 4.23 with a 191:51 K:BB through 174.2 frames. Keller is projected to face the Nationals at home next week.

Elder (12-4) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over seven innings Friday, striking out nine and earning a win over the Pirates.

The right-hander fired five scoreless innings before serving up a two-run homer to Jack Suwinski in the sixth. Elder's nine punchouts gave him a new season high, and it was his first time with more than five strikeouts since June 22. He's gone 4-0 with a stellar 2.30 ERA over his last five starts, lowering his season ERA to 3.38 through 162.1 frames. Elder is currently lined up for a start in Philadelphia next week.

Dodd will be called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Saturday in Atlanta against the Pirates, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Dodd made the Opening Day rotation, but he has posted an ugly 7.40 ERA in five major-league starts (24.1 innings) and a 6.55 ERA in 69.1 innings at Triple-A. The 25-year-old is a risky fantasy streaming option, even versus a Pittsburgh offense that ranks 27th in wRC+ against southpaws.

Pederson was added to the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Colorado is sending left-hander Ty Blach to the mound and Pederson usually sits versus southpaws, but he's been pressed into duty with Austin Slater (dizziness) having to be scratched. Thairo Estrada (conjunctivitis) was also removed from the Giants' initial batting order.

Estrada was scratched from the lineup Friday against the Rockies with conjunctivitis, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Casey Schmitt will cover second base with Wilmer Flores moving up to the second spot in the Giants' batting order. Estrada might also be in danger of missing the rest of the weekend as he recovers from pink eye.

Slater was scratched from the lineup Friday versus the Rockies due to dizziness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

He had been set to cover center field and bat leadoff, but Luis Matos will take over both duties. Slater should be considered day-to-day.
