Owen Caissie RF | MIA
Marlins' Owen Caissie: Goes deep in Wednesday's loss
Caissie went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored during the Marlins' 15-14 loss to the Mets on Wednesday.
Caissie helped the Marlins pull out of an early 8-0 deficit with a solo home run in the sixth inning before tacking on an RBI single in the eighth. It was the 24-year-old outfielder's first home run since Aug. 13 against the Pirates and 14th of the season. Caissie has a .699 OPS with five steals and 57 RBI over 328 plate appearances this year.

Jakob Marsee CF | MIA
Marlins' Jakob Marsee: Stays hot at plate
Marsee went 4-for-6 with three RBI and a run scored during the Marlins' 15-14 loss to the Mets on Wednesday.
Wednesday's contest was a high-scoring affair, with Marsee tying a season high in both hits and RBI that included a one-run single in the ninth to cut the Marlins' deficit to one run. The 25-year-old center fielder has logged at least two hits in each of his last four games, going 11-for-18 with four RBI in that span. Marsee has a .682 OPS with 22 steals, nine home runs and 36 RBI across 559 plate appearances this season.

Janson Junk SP | MIA
Marlins' Janson Junk: Drubbed for eight runs in no-decision
Junk did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 15-14 loss to the Mets, allowing eight runs on eight hits and one walk over three innings. He did not record a strikeout.
Wednesday was arguably Junk's worst performance of the season, with the right-hander giving up six runs in the second inning before allowing two more runs in the third. The eight runs allowed tied a season high he set May 20 against Atlanta, but luckily for Junk, he avoided the loss thanks to the offensive output from his Marlins teammates. Junk now stands at a 4.54 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 111 innings, and he'll look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Diamondbacks.

Christopher Morel 1B | NYM
Mets' Christopher Morel: Big performance as substitute
Morel went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two additional runs scored during the Mets' 15-14 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.
Morel was brought in for the second inning and filled in at first base after Brett Baty was removed due to left knee pain. Morel answered the call by belting a two-run homer in the third inning to give the Mets an 8-0 lead before driving in another run in the seventh. He's served in a depth role for the Mets since being promoted from the minors in mid-August, but Morel could see a bump in playing time if Baty were to miss time.

Tobias Myers RP | NYM
Mets' Tobias Myers: Secures second save of season
Myers earned the save in Wednesday's 15-14 win over Miami, allowing one hit while striking out one batter across two-thirds of an inning.
Kodai Senga was deployed for the save chance Tuesday, so Nate Lavender was initially brought out for the ninth inning Wednesday to protect the Mets' four-run lead, but he was replaced by Myers after allowing three runs. Myers gave up a single to the first batter he faced, but he bounced back by retiring the next two batters to secure the series sweep for the Mets. Since rejoining the big-league bullpen last week, Myers has fired two scoreless appearances and now has a 6.04 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 47.2 innings this season.

Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: Goes deep against Miami again
Lindor went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 15-14 win over the Marlins.
Wednesday's series finale was a high-scoring affair, and Lindor capped off the Mets' six-run seventh inning with a three-run long ball off Tyler Zuber. Lindor has gone deep in back-to-back games and will end the three-game series against Miami having gone 4-for-15 with two home runs, four RBI and five runs scored. He has a .747 OPS with three steals, 18 home runs and 42 RBI across 392 plate appearances this season.

Robert Stock SP | NYM
Mets' Robert Stock: Gives up three runs in no-decision
Stock did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Marlins, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four across four innings.
Stock was back in the Mets' rotation for Wednesday's contest, and he kept the Marlins off the board through the first three innings before giving up three runs on back-to-back singles in the fourth. He finished his outing with eight whiffs on 80 pitches (48 strikes), and the veteran right-hander has a 5.93 ERA and 1.75 WHIP across 30.1 innings this season. The Mets are going with a six-man rotation for the time being, so Stock is tentatively slated to make his next start against the Orioles at home next week.

Cristopher Sanchez SP | PHI
Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Nabs 17th victory
Sanchez (17-5) earned the win against the Astros on Wednesday, allowing six runs on 10 hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out three.
It was a rare dud by the All-Star southpaw, who gave up his most runs since July 6 in Kansas City. It was also a surprise to see Sanchez serve up a pair of home runs after he gave up just two in his prior nine outings combined, but he's now worked at least five frames in all but one of his 30 starts on the year. He'll take an excellent 2.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 210:42 K:BB over 187.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Washington.

Tomoyuki Sugano SP | COL
Rockies' Tomoyuki Sugano: Hit hard in ninth loss
Sugano (12-9) took the loss against the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out five.
Sugano was victimized by a pair of home runs Wednesday, including a grand slam by George Lombard in the third inning. Although he has two quality starts in his last six, the right-hander has coughed up at least five runs in the other four outings during that period. He'll bring a 5.30 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 84:33 K:BB over 137.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the division-rival Padres in hitter-friendly Colorado.

Walker Buehler SP | SD
Padres' Walker Buehler: Lasts just 2.1 innings
Buehler did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 2.1 innings. He struck out four.
Buehler got off to an excellent start Wednesday, striking out the first four batters he faced. However, after two perfect innings, things started to unravel in the third -- five straight Nats reached base off Buehler to open the frame, spearheaded by a Keibert Ruiz solo homer. The right-hander would then depart after throwing 60 pitches. Buehler had gone at least five innings in each of his previous five starts, working to a 2.57 ERA across 28 innings in that span. Overall, Buehler is 8-6 with a 4.61 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 121:53 K:BB across 29 starts (138.2 innings) this season. He's tentatively in line to face the Rockies on the road his next time out.
