Pham went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Pham tied things up in the ninth with a solo home run that would send the game to extras. He's now hit safely in 13 of his last 16 games and piled up 16 RBI over that span. The homer was his first of the month and his fifth since the beginning of August.

Halvorsen (elbow) has resumed throwing from 60 feet and is hoping to return from the injured list prior to the end of the season, MLB.com reports.

This marks Halvorsen's first notable progress since he was sidelined in early August with an elbow injury. He hopes to pitch in a game before the season is over, but Halvorsen is expected to be at full strength shortly after the campaign ends if he cannot return.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 6-1 win over Atlanta.

Since sitting out two games last week to clear his head amid a slump, Crow-Armstrong has started to get going at the plate. Over his last four contests, the speedy outfielder has gone 4-for-11 with three runs scored, three stolen bases and four RBI. Crow-Armstrong did miss Sunday's contest with a bruised knee, but he was back as the DH on Monday and playing the field Tuesday, so it looks like a non-issue moving forward. The 23-year-old is now tied for sixth in the majors with 34 steals on the season, and Crow-Armstrong has added 28 home runs for good measure, putting him within striking distance of his first career 30-30 campaign.

Horton (10-4) allowed one run on four hits across 6.1 innings to earn the win Tuesday against Atlanta. He struck out two.

Other than the low strikeout total, it was another dazzling effort for Horton. The rookie hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last 10 starts, and he has a sparkling 0.84 ERA and 0.79 WHIP during that span. Horton leads all National League rookies with his 10 wins, and he's making a strong case for NL Rookie of the Year honors with a 2.70 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 110 innings overall. The 23-year-old righty will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is penciled in for Monday on the road against the Pirates, the team with the fewest runs scored in the majors.

Schwarber went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Mets.

With Tuesday's long ball, Schwarber became only the second player in Phillies history alongside Ryan Howard to record 50 home runs in a single season. Though Schwarber has been a fantasy stalwart this season with an MLB-high 123 RBI to go with 99 runs and 10 stolen bases, he's been struggling overall during his last 11 games, batting just .146.

Goodman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Goodman struck out in his first three at-bats but made big contact in the ninth inning to take Kirby Yates deep for the Rockies' second run. This was Goodman's 30th homer of the year, four of which have come over seven games in September. The catcher has added a .282/.327/.540 slash line, 87 RBI, 68 runs scored, 25 doubles and a stolen base through 127 contests. His splits haven't been as extreme as some of his teammates -- Goodman has hit 17 of his homers in road games and has an .842 OPS on the road compared to an .888 OPS at home.

Marquez (3-13) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Marquez allowed scoring plays in each of the second through fifth innings. He allowed the opening run on a wild pitch and allowed two home runs for the third time in his last eight appearances. Marquez hasn't looked comfortable since returning from right biceps tendinitis, allowing 17 runs over 14.1 innings across three starts since his activation. He's at a 6.31 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 77:42 K:BB across 112.2 innings through 23 starts this season. The right-hander is tentatively projected to make a road start versus the Padres this weekend.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Freeman reached the 20-homer mark with his eighth-inning blast Tuesday. He's had a modest start to September, going 7-for-32 (.219) over his first eight games this month, though four of those hits have gone for extra bases. The first baseman's still at a .295/.367/.500 slash line for the year while adding 79 RBI, 71 runs scored, 37 doubles, two triples and five stolen bases over 131 contests. Freeman has reached the 20-homer mark in every full-length season since 2016.

Betts went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Betts has turned his season around in a big way, hitting safely in 12 of his last 15 games. Seven of those have been multi-hit efforts, giving him a .345 average over that span. He's also swatted four homers during the hot stretch, putting him at 17 long balls on the year. Betts has added a .255/.324/.397 slash line with 69 RBI, 85 runs scored, 20 doubles, two triples and eight stolen bases through 134 contests.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Hernandez went yard in the fourth and eighth innings to get himself out of a slump. He entered Tuesday's action just 3-for-22 (.136) over his first six games in September, and he hadn't hit a homer since Aug. 20, which was also against the Rockies. The outfielder is up to 23 homers this season and has added a .244/.281/.452 slash line with 80 RBI, 56 runs scored, five stolen bases and 25 doubles over 119 contests.
