Freeman went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies.

Freeman opened up the scoring for Atlanta with an RBI base hit in the first. He would walk his next time up and then notched his second triple of the season in the eighth and later scored on a home run by Adam Duvall. The lefty slugger has at least a hit in 10 of 12 games so far in September and has had multi-hit efforts in five of his last seven contests. The 31-year-old continues to be one of the toughest outs in baseball. He's slashing .298/.392/.515 with 30 homers, 78 RBI, 108 runs scored, eight steals and 77:95 BB:K over 620 innings.

Lowe went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Astros.

Lowe got the scoring started for the Rangers by taking Zack Greinke deep in the first inning for a two-run blast. The 25-year-old would also draw a pair of walks and scored an additional time. The long ball was Lowe's first in September and just his third since he hit two July 1. He's done well in his first year as a starter, slashing .262/.355/.409 with 40 extra-base hits, 67 RBI, 65 runs scored, seven steals and a 71:148 BB:K over 572 plate appearances.

Dalbec went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-4 triumph over Seattle.

Dalbec knotted the game at 2-2 with his sixth-inning shot off Seattle reliever Anthony Misiewicz, but he wasn't productive in his other at-bats and was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth. The 26-year-old has flashed promising power in his second season with four home runs over his last six games and 22 on the season.

Rivas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Phillies.

Rivas took Philadelphia starter Kyle Gibson deep in the fifth inning for his first MLB home run in his 13th career game. The 25-year-old made his second straight start Tuesday and should see increased playing time in the outfield moving forward with Jason Heyward (concussion) landing on the 7-day injured list. Rivas posted an .816 OPS at Triple-A this year across 58 games and is worth a look if he's able to carry over some success in the majors.

Cronenworth (finger) is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants and isn't expected to return until the weekend series versus the Cardinals, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Cronenworth isn't expected to require a trip to the injured listed due to the small fracture on his left ring finger, but he's unlikely to be available for a few more days, though he did take batting practice Tuesday. Fernando Tatis will remain at shortstop for the Friars while Jurickson Profar receives a start in left field.

Rivas is starting in right field Tuesday against the Phillies.

Rivas will draw his second consecutive start and should be in line for increased playing time in the outfield after Jason Heyward (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday. The 25-year-old made his major-league debut Aug. 29 and has hit .280 with a double, five runs and an RBI in 12 appearances since then.

Vaughn was placed on the 10-day injured list with lower back inflammation Tuesday.

Vaughn hasn't played since Thursday while dealing with what was previously reported to be leg soreness. He's evidently also been dealing with a back issue. The transaction was backdated to Friday, so he'll be eligible to return Monday, which James Fegan of The Athletic reports the White Sox believe is possible.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, a stolen base, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 7-0 win over the Mets.

The 34-year-old put together a line reminiscent of his prime, as he launched a solo shot off Rich Hill in the fifth inning then swiped a bag in the ninth. Goldschmidt is now up to 25 homers on the year, the sixth time in his career he's reached that plateau, and his 12 steals are his highest total since he racked up 18 in 2017.

Guerrero went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-1 win over the Rays.

He took over the major-league home run lead with an absolute missile, hooking an Adam Conley pitch just over the wall in the left-field corner on a line drive that left the yard in an incredible 3.3 seconds. Guerrero not only has 45 homers, one ahead of Shohei Ohtani, he also leads the American League in batting average at .318 -- leaving him just four RBI behind Jose Abreu for a potential Triple Crown. As an added bonus, he also leads all of MLB with 114 runs.

Dalbec isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Seattle, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Dalbec will take a seat for the series opener after racking up a pair of extra-base hits Sunday afternoon against the White Sox. Kyle Schwarber shifts to first base as a result.
