Suarez picked up the save Monday against Washington. He allowed five hits and no walks while striking out two over three scoreless innings.

Suarez came in to handle the final three innings Monday, locking down his first save of the year. The southpaw hasn't logged a ton of big-league action, but he's been effective when used, working to a 1.96 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 18.1 innings across six appearances (one start).

Tidwell (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Tidwell missed just under one month of action after experiencing a flare up in his right shoulder. He fired two scoreless frames in his first game since being activated Wednesday against Triple-A Round Rock, lowering his ERA to 3.28 in 11 appearances (49.1 innings) since June 4.

Chaparro went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Monday's loss to Atlanta.

Chaparro came through with a bases-clearing single off Chris Sale in the fifth inning to spark a rally, though Washington couldn't finish the comeback. The infielder has managed just a .520 OPS across 30 games, with Monday marking his first multi-RBI effort and only his third multi-hit showing of the season.

Nunez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 11-5 loss against Atlanta.

Nunez jumped on the first pitch of the game and sent it the other way for a leadoff homer to give Washington an early edge, though the lead didn't last long in an eventual loss. The infielder has now gone deep in consecutive games and is swinging it well, producing a .939 OPS with four homers and nine RBI over his past 15 contests.

Harris went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and three steals in Monday's 11-5 victory over the Nationals.

Harris filled the box score with a trio of hits, RBI and stolen bases Monday. The standout defender has endured an up-and-down year at the plate, rebounding from a rough first three months to post an .870 OPS over 53 games in July and August before sliding to a .463 OPS across his last 30 contests. Overall, the 24-year-old owns a .657 OPS with 25 doubles, 17 homers, 83 RBI and 19 stolen bases in 155 games this season.

Rios (undisclosed) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Rios missed the majority of the 2025 campaign due to an unspecified injury but has since returned to Triple-A Syracuse. He had a rough outing Sept. 18 against Lehigh Valley, getting knocked around for four runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one, but he responded nicely with a scoreless inning Sunday.

Baldwin went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over the Nationals.

Baldwin reached base three times in Monday's win, highlighted by a two-run single in the third inning. He's stayed hot at the plate down the stretch, slashing .370/.433/.778 over his last seven games. For the season, the 24-year-old is batting .275/.344/.462 with 16 doubles, 18 homers and 78 RBI in 119 games as he makes a strong push for National League Rookie of the Year.

Acuna went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional RBI, an additional run scored and three walks in Monday's 11-5 win over Washington.

Acuna answered Nasim Nunez's leadoff homer in the first inning with a solo shot of his own to even the score, then was pitched around the rest of the night, drawing three walks for the fourth time this season. While Atlanta's year has fallen short of expectations, the star right fielder has continued to produce when healthy, slashing .285/.415/.508 with 12 doubles, 19 homers and 39 RBI in 90 games.

Sale (6-5) earned the win Monday, allowing five runs on three hits and two walks over five innings in a 11-5 win over Washington. He struck out six.

Sale wasn't at his best Monday, giving up five runs for the first time since April 8. Despite missing time midseason with a fractured ribcage, the 36-year-old has generally been excellent when healthy, posting a 2.63 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across 20 starts and 120 innings. He's currently lined up to pitch Atlanta's season finale Sunday, though the team could decide Monday's outing was the lanky left-hander's last of 2025 and turn to another arm.

Gore (5-15) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks over two-plus innings against Atlanta. He struck out three.

Gore didn't make it out of the third inning Monday, giving up two early runs before being lifted after allowing two baserunners to start the frame. It's been a tale of two halves for the southpaw, who carried a 3.02 ERA and 1.20 WHIP through 19 starts and 110.1 innings before the All-Star break but has struggled since, now sitting with a 4.17 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 30 starts and 159.2 innings. The 26-year-old is currently lined up to pitch the Nationals' season finale Sunday, though the club could decide to shut him down early.
