De La Cruz went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 win over the Cubs. He was also caught stealing.

De La Cruz helped break a 4-4 tie in the seventh inning when he hit the second of back-to-back home runs. The blast, his 20th of the season, was his first since July 31. In those 43 games in between homers, De La Cruz slashed .205/.255/.290 with just 10 RBI.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 12-6 loss to the Mets.

Abrams smacked an RBI double in the third inning before adding a two-run homer in the fifth. The long ball was the shortstop's first since Aug. 23, and he's now on a modest four-game hitting streak despite batting just .238 in 16 September contests. For the season, he's slashing .264/.323/.442 with 18 home runs, 58 RBI, 89 runs scored and 31 steals across 604 plate appearances.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI and four runs scored in Friday's 12-6 win over the Nationals.

Lindor scored each time he reached base and broke a 4-4 tie with an RBI single in the fourth inning. The shortstop is now riding an eight-game hitting streak, piling up 12 runs in that span. On the season, he's slashing .268/.344/.456 with 27 homers, 79 RBI, 111 runs scored and 30 steals across 694 plate appearances.

Blalock (2-5) picked up the win Friday against the Angels, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

Blalock was hit hard once again, serving up multiple home runs in his third straight start. The right-hander hasn't been able to overcome hitter-friendly Coors Field in 2025, limping to a 12.27 ERA, 2.18 WHIP and 9:14 K:BB across 29.1 innings at home. His last appearance of the season is set to come at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park against the Mariners, though Blalock's 5.61 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 25.2 innings on the road don't exactly offer much reason for optimism.

Ramos went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Ramos went deep on Clayton Kershaw's third pitch of the game. It's been a fairly unremarkable September for Ramos -- he has two homers and four RBI while batting a meager .169 (11-for-65) over 16 games this month. The slump has him down to a .257/.331/.394 slash line with 18 homers, 62 RBI, 80 runs scored and six stolen bases through 149 contests overall.

Ray (11-8) allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Dodgers.

Ray had gone four starts in a row without allowing a home run, but that stretch of keeping the ball down came to a jarring halt Friday. He allowed a solo home run to Miguel Rojas in the second inning, followed by back-to-back blasts by Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts in the fifth, which collectively accounted for the rest of the runs on Ray's line. This was the fourth time in five starts that Ray fell short of the five-inning mark. He's now at a 3.65 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 186:73 K:BB through 182.1 innings over 32 starts this season. The southpaw's last start of the season is projected to be at home versus the Cardinals next week.

Pages went 3-for-3 with two doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

Pages has gone 15-for-32 (.469) with a home run and five doubles over his last nine games. The outfielder was able to provide an insurance run with an RBI double in the sixth inning. For the season, he's up to a .281 average and .791 OPS, both of which are his highest marks since the end of July. He's added 25 homers, 27 doubles, 14 stolen bases, 82 RBI and 72 runs scored through 148 contests.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

Rojas hadn't hit a homer since July 19 versus the Brewers. He hit a decent .261 with a .664 OPS over the 48 games between long balls before his second-inning solo shot Friday. The utility infielder is up to seven homers this season, and he's added 27 RBI, 34 runs scored and five stolen bases while slashing .266/.325/.402 through 297 plate appearances this year.

Betts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

Betts stalled out with a month-long power drought from July 6 to Aug. 6, but he was able to turn things around in a big way. He reached the 20-homer mark Friday after missing that plateau last year. He's smacked six long balls and supplied 19 RBI over his last 15 contests, a span in which he's hitting a stellar .339 (21-for-62). Overall, Betts has a .260/.328/.413 slash line with 79 RBI, 93 runs scored, 22 doubles, two triples and eight stolen bases over 143 games.

Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

Ohtani has turned up the power again with four homers during his seven-game hitting streak. His blast Friday gave the Dodgers their first lead of the contest. He's up to 52 long balls this year, one behind Kyle Schwarber for the National League lead. Ohtani is batting .283 with a 1.013 OPS, 98 RBI, 139 runs scored and 19 stolen bases across 151 contests, though he's been even better by hitting .338 and slugging .769 over 17 games in September.
