Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a single, double, homer, three runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 11-4 win over the Mets.

Goldschmidt fell a three-bagger shy of the cycle Wednesday but nonetheless racked up some impressive numbers. The 34-year-old has absolutely killed the Mets this season, as he's hit .370 with three home runs in seven games against New York.

Bell went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to Miami.

The first baseman appeared to provide insurance for Washington in the eighth inning, but closer Kyle Finnegan imploded in the ninth inning. Bell has recorded three multi-hit efforts in 15 games in September, batting 15-for-54 (.278) this month. He's up to 27 homers, 83 RBI, 66 runs scored and a .256/.333/.489 slash line in 501 plate appearances overall.

Cronenworth (finger) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

It was reported Tuesday that Cronenworth isn't expected to return until at least Friday's series opener against the Cardinals, so it's not a surprise to see him sidelined for a fifth straight game Wednesday. Fernando Tatis will continue to work at shortstop in his absence, while Jurickson Profar starts in right field.

Voit went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-2 win against Baltimore on Tuesday.

Voit joined the Yankees' power barrage against Orioles pitching, as his third-inning solo shot was one of five long balls hit by the team in the win. It was just the second home run this month for the first baseman, though that is partly due to dwindling playing time thanks to a mostly healthy offensive lineup. Still, it's worth noting that Voit blasted 22 homers in 213 at-bats during the shortened 2020 campaign but has just 10 in 201 at-bats this season.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will unsurprisingly take a seat with southpaw Sean Manaea on the hill for Oakland, but the former may have reclaimed a spot in Kansas City's regular lineup versus right-handed pitching. O'Hearn went 1-for-6 with a pair of walks while starting both of the Royals' past two games versus righties, while Edward Olivares was relegated to a bench role.

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.
