Chase Dollander SP | COL
Rockies' Chase Dollander: Sharp in no-decision
Dollander allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Monday.
Dollander did his part, but the Rockies got no-hit for the first eight innings of the game. They were able to scrape together a run to keep Dollander from taking the loss, and it's encouraging he pitched well after allowing 10 runs over 9.1 innings across his first two career starts against the Dodgers. Despite this positive step forward, he still has a 6.52 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 82:49 K:BB through 98 innings over 21 starts this season. The rookie right-hander's next start is projected to be in San Diego this weekend.

Tanner Scott RP | LAD
Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Converts 21st save
Scott allowed one hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 3-1 win over the Rockies.
Scott's been in a rough patch lately, allowing four runs over his last 1.2 innings while taking a loss and two blown saves in that span. Despite the struggles, manager Dave Roberts looks to be sticking by his closer, who was able to get the job done Monday for his 21st save in 30 chances this season. Scott is at a 4.47 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 52:12 K:BB over 50.1 innings on the year, and he remains in control of the closer role, though he could face a threat to his save share when Alex Vesia (oblique) returns Tuesday.

Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Spins seven no-hit innings
Glasnow (2-3) threw seven no-hit innings, allowing one run on two walks while striking out 11 and earning the win over the Rockies on Monday.
Glasnow was scratched from starting Friday versus the Orioles due to back tightness, but the extra rest appears to have done wonders for him. He wasn't limited in Monday's start, throwing 65 of 105 pitches for strikes in his best outing of the season. Glasnow lowered his ERA to 3.21 with a 1.03 WHIP and 92:34 K:BB through 75.2 innings over 15 starts this season. Assuming he comes out of this impressive effort in fine shape, he's projected to make his next start at home in a tough matchup versus the Phillies next week.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Rattles off three hits in loss
Marte went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Giants.
Entering Monday, Marte had gone 0-for-13 across his previous four games, though he had four walks in that span. The second baseman was able to get his bat going again with his first three-hit game since he had four knocks Aug. 13 versus the Rangers. Marte is at a .287/.388/.520 slash line with 25 home runs, 64 RBI, 79 runs scored and four stolen bases across 111 contests this season.

Gabriel Moreno C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Launches homer in loss
Moreno went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Giants.
Moreno has gone 7-for-21 (.333) with three extra-base hits and four RBI over seven games in September. The catcher's blast came in the eighth inning Monday and was too late to help the Diamondbacks get back into the contest. He's up to eight homers, 33 RBI, 40 runs scored, one stolen base and a .283/.337/.448 slash line through 68 games this season, occupying a starting role when healthy.

Nabil Crismatt RP | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nabil Crismatt: Ineffective versus Giants
Crismatt allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.
Crismatt gave up multiple home runs in an appearance for the first time this season. He was limited to 50 pitches (34 strikes) in this ineffective start. The right-hander has posted a 3.24 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB through 25 innings over five outings (four starts). With Anthony DeSclafani back from a thumb injury, Crismatt can ill afford any further poor performances.

Patrick Bailey C | CLE
Giants' Patrick Bailey: Lifts fourth homer
Bailey went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Monday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
Bailey's up to four homers on the year, with two of them coming over his last six games. He's driven in six runs in that span as well. The catcher hasn't been able to do much with the bat, compiling a .217/.273/.308 slash line with 45 RBI, 39 runs scored, 15 doubles and three triples while adding one stolen base over 118 contests this season.

Dominic Smith DH | ATL
Giants' Dominic Smith: Pops fifth homer
Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
Smith's blast tied the game at 4-4 in the third inning. The first baseman has hit safely in his last nine games, going 13-for-37 (.351) with two homers and 11 RBI during the streak. That surge has him up to a .291/.341/.427 slash line with five long balls, 33 RBI, 26 runs scored, 12 doubles and two stolen bases over 220 plate appearances this season in a strong-side platoon role.

Heliot Ramos LF | SF
Giants' Heliot Ramos: Goes yard in Monday's win
Ramos went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
Ramos put the finishing touches on the Giants' five-run sixth inning with his homer. The outfielder has hit safely in nine of his last 11 games, going 16-for-48 (.333) with two homers and six RBI in that span. For the season, he's at a .266/.338/.405 slash line with 17 homers, 61 RBI, 75 runs scored and six stolen bases over 139 contests. Ramos' power is down from last year's 22-homer effort over 121 games, but the rest of his production is fairly steady in comparison.

Ryan Ritter 2B | COL
Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Departs early Monday
Ritter exited Monday's game against the Dodgers due to an undisclosed injury, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
Ritter swatted a leadoff double in the top of the ninth inning to break up a combined no-hit bid by Los Angeles, but he needed help off the field shortly after, appearing to injure himself diving back into second base. The severity of his injury is unknown at this time.
