Stott went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

With Trea Turner (hamstring) and Edmundo Sosa (groin) both on the injured list, Stott has started each of Philadelphia's last eight games to help pick up the slack. Stott had a weak .645 OPS through July 30, but he's fared far better at the dish ever since. Over his last 150 plate appearances, he's slashing .321/.393/.519 with 15 extra-base hits, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and seven stolen bases to raise his OPS to .719 for the year.

Trivino allowed one hit and struck out one in a scoreless seventh inning Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Trivino has bounced around with three teams in 2025, but he's settled in with the Phillies nicely thus far. Through his first 6.2 innings with Philadelphia, the veteran right-hander has a 1.35 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 4:3 K:BB. Trivino may not be able to work his way into the high-leverage picture consistently, but he offers Philly's revamped bullpen another arm with late-inning experience.

McCarthy went 3-for-4 with a double and one run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.

McCarthy had gone just 1-for-16 over his previous five games. The outfielder has filled a strong-side platoon role down the stretch as the Diamondbacks' primary option in left field. He's up to a .209/.255/.335 slash line with three home runs, 19 RBI, 17 runs scored, seven doubles, four triples and six stolen bases over 207 plate appearances this season.

Curtiss allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.

Curtiss is the 17th player to log a save for the Diamondbacks this season, which has seen the team take a closing committee to the extreme. Andrew Saalfrank has been bothered by shoulder fatigue recently and may not have been available, as he was not deployed despite his last appearance being Tuesday. Curtiss was hit hard in an outing Wednesday versus the Giants, allowing five runs (four earned) without recording an out, but he bounced back well. He's pitched to a 3.86 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 35 innings while adding a save and four holds.

Gallen (13-14) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out nine over seven innings to earn the win Saturday over the Phillies.

The nine strikeouts were the most Gallen has had in a start since July 7 versus the Padres. This was his sixth quality start in his last seven outings, and it was the first time he's completed seven frames since July 1 against the Giants. Gallen is ending the year strong, though his early struggles are evident in his 4.70 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 187.2 innings. Gallen also allowed 30 homers in a season for the first time in his career when he gave up a solo shot to Alec Bohm in the fourth inning, giving Gallen the third-most homers allowed by a qualified starting pitcher this season. The right-hander's regular season is projected to come to a close with a home start versus the Dodgers next week.

O'Hearn went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.

It was the fourth three-RBI effort of the season by O'Hearn, who also knocked at least three hits for the seventh time in 2025. The All-Star slugger has found himself in quite the tailspin at the plate -- he has a .529 OPS in September -- though he doesn't appear to be in immediate danger of losing action as the designated hitter. Gavin Sheets, who's O'Hearn's main threat to playing time, has a .589 OPS this month.

Merrill went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.

Merrill is on a heater at the plate, tallying multiple hits in four of his last six games. Six of his 15 homers for the year have come in the past 13 games, during which the center fielder is batting .321 with 11 RBI and 12 runs scored. That said, Merrill has just one stolen base over 109 contests amid what's been an injury-plagued campaign, and he hasn't even attempted to steal a base since June 14 after swiping 16 bags during the 2024 regular season.

Tatis went 1-for-5 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.

It was the third multi-steal game of the season by Tatis, who swiped multiple bags for the first time since Aug. 9 against Boston. The All-Star right fielder has at least two hits in four of his last seven outings amid his first career 20-homer, 30-steal campaign. Through 580 at-bats, Tatis is hitting .266 with 22 long balls and 65 RBI to go with career highs in runs scored (107) and steals (32).

Marquez (3-15) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Angels.

This was one of Marquez's best starts of the year, but it went unrewarded as the Rockies failed to generate any run support. He still allowed a pair of home runs, which were solo shots by Taylor Ward and Nolan Schanuel. Marquez has lost four of five starts since returning from biceps tendinitis, and he's allowed 26 runs over 23.2 innings in that span. For the season, he's at a 6.49 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 82:45 K:BB through 122 innings across 25 starts. The right-hander's last start of the season is projected to be at San Francisco.

Alvarez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Tigers.

The 22-year-old infielder had zero homers through his first 59 big-league games, but Alvarez snapped that streak Saturday by taking Keider Montero deep in the third inning, and then he did the same to Kyle Finnegan in the eighth. Over 18 games in September while handling starting third-base duties in place of Austin Riley (abdomen), Alvarez is batting .288 (15-for-52) with four runs and seven RBI.
