Hoskins went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Thursday's loss against the Marlins.

Hoskins has put together a good stretch of hitting over his last 11 games, turning in a .333 batting average over 45 at-bats. The first baseman has gone 20 games without a home run however, and he has a .325 slugging percentage in 80 at-bats during that span.

Tellez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a 4-2 win in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against San Francisco.

With runners on first and third and two outs, Tellez stole second base without a throw in the seventh inning for his second steal of the season, setting a new career high. His seventh-inning single ended a 0-for-14 slump. In his last 20 appearances he's posted a .155/.250/.338 slash line, dropping his season marks to .226/.314/.460.

Voit went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored in Thursday's 11-6 victory over the Cardinals.

Voit saw the ball well Thursday as he recorded two hits, including a double, and two walks on the day. This is Voit's second consecutive multi-hit game as he begins to heat up at the dish. In eight games since the beginning of September, Voit is 10-for-30 with a home run, three RBI and three runs.

Solano is not in Thursday's lineup against the Cubs.

Solano is hitting .171 with zero home runs and zero steals over his last 10 games. Nick Senzel (ankle) will be eased back in as the designated hitter Thursday.

Alonso went 4-for-9 with a walk, a double and a run scored across both ends of Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Pirates.

The first baseman collected two hits in each game, but he otherwise didn't contribute much as the Mets scored 15 runs in total on the day. Alonso had been in a slump, going 4-for-32 (.125) over his prior nine games with a solo home run, but Wednesday's performances suggests he's about to heat up again.

Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Cronenworth has homered in consecutive contests, as it appears he's enjoyed facing Arizona pitching this week. His blast Wednesday gave the Padres a 3-2 lead in the second inning. The second baseman is up to 15 long balls this year, and he matched his career high with his 71st RBI of the season in this contest. He's added a .244/.342/.397 slash line, two stolen bases and 79 runs scored through 135 games.

Voit went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Voit contributed a homer as part of the Nationals' four-run rally in the eighth inning, and he was the only player on the team to log a multi-hit effort. He's opened September hitting .296 (8-for-27), though his homer Wednesday is his only extra-base hit in that span. For the season, the first baseman is slashing .228/.317/.414 with 19 long balls, 60 RBI, 47 runs scored and a stolen base through 110 contests between the Nationals and the Padres.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.

Goldschmidt's fourth-inning blast was the only run in the game until the Nationals' offense woke up in the seventh and eighth frames. It's been a rather pedestrian start to September for Goldschmidt -- he's gone 5-for-20 (.250) with two home runs in the first six games of the month. The first baseman is still doing just fine overall, as his 35 homers put him one shy of matching a career-high mark he achieved in both 2013 and 2017. He's added 108 RBI, 99 runs scored, six stolen bases and 35 doubles through 130 contests.

Walker isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres.

Walker went 4-for-11 with a homer, three RBI, two runs, a walk and three strikeouts over the last three games but will get a rare day off Wednesday. Emmanuel Rivera is starting at first base and batting cleanup.

Rivas isn't starting Wednesday against Cincinnati.

Rivas started the last three games but will head to the bench with southpaw Mike Minor on the mound for the Reds. P.J. Higgins is starting at first base and batting eighth.
