Arozarena went 0-for-1 with a pair of walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-0 loss to the Astros.

Arozarena is now 24-for-32 in stolen base attempts this season. The outfielder has carried a hot bat down the stretch, hitting .347 (26-for-75) with six homers and a 1.104 OPS in his last 20 games. Overall, Arozarena is slashing .279/.379/.480 with 26 homers (one shy of his career high), 76 RBI and 106 runs scored across 647 plate appearances this year.

Gasper entered as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and swatted a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Cleveland.

Gasper tied the game at 2-2 and remained in the contest as the designated hitter. His bat has quieted down following a power surge (1.000 SLG) that saw him hit eight home runs over a 16-game stretch from mid-August to Sept. 4. In the 14 subsequent games, Gasper has gone 5-for-33 while slugging .333.

Sogard started at first base and went 2-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Sogard filled in at first base for a fourth consecutive game while Willson Contreras tends to a right hand injury. With Boston having clinched a playoff spot, the team does not have to rush Contreras back, although it would like to see him on the field and swing a bat before the postseason begins. Sogard has gone 3-for-18 during his time filling in.

Rocchio went 1-for-5 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox.

Rocchio returned to the lineup after missing one game due to a left leg injury. He was back home at shortstop and batted ninth for the Guardians. Rocchio has rebounded nicely from an August slump (.474 OPS) and is slashing .267/.343/.500 with 16 RBI through 18 games this month.

Moreno went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Colorado.

Moreno delivered one run on a single during the team's three-run first inning. He later had a sacrifice fly to knock in another. The two RBI put him at a career-high 77 over 126 games in what has been a breakout season for the 26-year-old catcher. Most of the breakout has happened during the second half, as Moreno sports a .312/.383/.529 slash line with nine home runs, 19 doubles and 45 RBI across 57 contests since the All-Star break.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Arenado finished the Diamondbacks' scoring with a solo homer in the seventh inning. It was the second home run in as many games and 28th of the season for the third basemen, who also extended a hit streak to eight contests. He's helped carry Arizona during its playoff chase in September, going 21-for-51 (.412) with three doubles, seven home runs, 14 RBI and 10 runs scored over his last 14 contests.

Grissonm went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Athletics.

This was Grissom's first multi-hit effort since Sept. 8 in Boston. The infielder has cooled off late in the season, batting just .209 (14-for-67) in September. Overall, he's hitting .242 with a .697 OPS, 12 home runs, 68 RBI, 45 runs scored, 22 doubles and a stolen base over 114 contests. Grissom is likely to close the year in a starting role.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Athletics.

Trout has hit .273 (18-for-66) in September, though he has just four multi-hit efforts over 19 contests this month. The outfielder has also drawn 14 walks to bolster his on-base numbers. For the season, he's batting .245 with an .808 OPS, 21 home runs, 53 RBI, 84 runs scored, 26 doubles and 11 stolen bases across 138 contests.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Athletics.

Neto entered the contest 0-for-13 over his previous four games. The shortstop was able to snap the skid and make an impact on the basepaths, getting up to 23 steals on 34 attempts this year. He's batting .238 with a .756 OPS, 26 home runs, 74 RBI and 100 runs scored over 152 contests, mainly out of the leadoff spot.

Guzman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Athletics.

Guzman has gone 14-for-55 (.255) over 16 games in September, picking up just three extra-base hits along the way. The infielder provided a big play Tuesday, though the Angels' bullpen gave up the lead later on. Guzman is now batting .226 with a .622 OPS, eight homers, 33 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles and two stolen bases over 285 plate appearances this season.
