Perez did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Perez surrendered a three-run homer in the fourth inning but otherwise kept the Dodgers in check, throwing 59 of 96 pitches for strikes with 13 whiffs. While it was an encouraging effort considering he yielded 16 runs over his previous three starts, the 23-year-old has not exceeded five strikeouts in six straight outings. He'll carry a 3.99 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 155:64 K:BB across 144.1 innings into a road matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters after Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins that Freeman (knee) will be out of the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Reds, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Freeman went 0-for-8 with a strikeout across his last two games, and he hasn't been himself at the plate as he works through a lingering right knee injury. The veteran first baseman may sit out additional games over the final two weeks of the regular season in order to be in better shape for the playoffs. Enrique Hernandez figures to see the bulk of the reps at first base in games that Freeman doesn't play in.

Scott (1-6) blew a save and took the loss against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing three runs on three hits and no walks with one strikeout while recording one out.

Taylor entered with two outs in the eighth inning and struck out Griffin Conine, but he imploded in the ninth. The southpaw opened the frame by allowing three straight hits and was charged with what proved to be the game-winning run after Brock Stewart allowed a walk-off homer. The 32-year-old Scott has struggled of late, allowing earned runs in five of his past 11 games and blowing saves in two of his past four chances. On the season, he's 22-for-26 in save opportunities with a 2.91 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 73:13 K:BB across 58.2 innings.

Rojas has received a cortisone injection in his right labrum and plans to play through the issue, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register, Rojas aggravated a right shoulder injury Sunday during a diving attempt in the eighth inning, but the veteran shortstop told reporters after the game that he plans to play through the injury after getting a cortisone injection. He finished the game 1-for-3 and has a .704 OPS with three home runs and 20 RBI across 226 plate appearances this season.

De Paula went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

De Paula smacked a 416-foot blast for his first major-league hit before reaching base in his next two trips to the plate. The top prospect has now gone 2-for-7 through three games with the Dodgers, and he's reached base in each game with an impressive 4:0 BB. It was his first game in the field, and it's worth noting that he was lifted for a defensive replacement in the sixth inning.

Ryan (6-10) took the loss Sunday against the Guardians, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk across four innings. He struck out one.

It was a tough outing for Ryan, who's now dropped five straight starts (bisected by a month-long stint on the IL). Ryan threw 84 pitches Sunday, giving up a pair of solo homers to Steven Kwan and Jo Adell before the Guardians added two more runs in the fourth. Ryan's ERA now sits at 3.84 through 25 starts (133.2 innings) this season with a 1.16 WHIP and 146:29 K:BB. Ryan is tentatively in line to face the Angels at home his next time out.

Devers (abdomen) will undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Devers was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday due to a core muscle injury, something that has reportedly bothered the 29-year-old slugger for a number of years, and the Giants should have an update on his recovery timeline following Tuesday's surgery. Devers will finish the 2026 regular season with an .865 OPS with 37 home runs and 98 RBI across 633 plate appearances.

Mesa went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 14-4 win over the Astros.

Mesa was a thorn in the Astros' side from the cleanup spot, falling a homer short of the cycle and scoring each time he reached base. The 25-year-old has hit safely in nine straight games, and he owns a ridiculous 1.300 OPS with seven extra-base hits, eight RBI, 12 runs scored and three steals through 12 September contests. For the season, he's slashing .261/.330/.518 with 13 homers, 30 RBI, 32 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 223 plate appearances.

Bibee (6-15) earned the win Sunday over Minnesota, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.

It was a strong bounce-back effort from Bibee. The right-hander had failed to make it through four innings in either of his previous two starts, giving up 10 runs across 8.1 innings in that span. Overall, Bibbe's ERA sits at 4.16 across 31 starts (177.1 innings) this season with a 1.18 WHIP and 140:54 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the A's at home in his next outing.

Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a double and a solo home run during Sunday's 8-1 win over the Orioles.

Guerrero's lack of power at the plate has been one of the bigger disappointments of the 2026 season, with all eight of his home runs prior to Sunday coming on the road. However, the 27-year-old first baseman bucked that trend by taking Trevor Rogers deep to left field, which was sandwiched between solo homers from George Springer and Kazuma Okamoto. Guerrero also tied a season high with four hits, and perhaps this latest outing will be a sign of things to come for the slugger over the final two weeks of the regular season.
