Stewart went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 17-5 loss to the Cubs.

Back in the third inning, before Chicago took a double-digit lead, Stewart cut the Reds' deficit to 6-4 when he clubbed his 30th homer of the season. He became the second Reds rookie to reach that threshold after Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, who slugged 38 in 1956. Stewart leads the majors with 104 RBI and is one of the favorites to be named NL Rookie of the Year.

The utility man is now batting .247 with a .714 OPS, nine home runs, eight steals, 35 RBI and 30 runs scored over 81 contests this season. Tawa has been better overall in August, batting .288 while filling an everyday role over 28 contests this month.

France went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Rays.

France gave the Padres a 3-2 lead with a two-run shot off Nick Martinez in the sixth inning. It continued a strong second half for the 32-year-old, who's hitting .315 with eight home runs, 25 RBI and 22 runs scored in 40 games since the All-Star break.

On the year, he's slashing .272/.332/.447 with eight homers, 35 RBI, 33 runs scored and three steals across 283 plate appearances while primarily being used against right-handed pitchers.

The Mets optioned Wagaman to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

Busch went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Reds.

Busch has now gone deep three times in his last nine games, and he's up to 17 long balls overall. The slugging first baseman hasn't quite matched his production from last year, when he blasted 34 home runs and finished with an .866 OPS during the regular season, but he's still had a productive campaign in 2026. Busch now has 68 RBI and a .754 OPS in 133 games this year to go along with his 17 homers.
