McLain went 1-for-1 with two walks and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Mets.

McLain and other Cincinnati hitters jumped on New York right-hander Jonah Tong for homers in three consecutive innings. He's launched three homers in the last seven games and extended a hit streak to nine contests, during which he's gone 11-for-27 (.407) with three home runs, six RBI and eight runs. His .230 batting average is at its highest point since April 2.

Edwards isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

The switch-hitting Edwards carries a .588 OPS against southpaws on the year, so he'll retreat to the dugout Saturday against left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Maximo Acosta will get the nod at second base instead while batting ninth.

Schmitt went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

Schmitt doubled in the fourth inning and added an RBI single in the seventh. With that, the 26-year-old infielder recorded his second multi-hit performance over his last three outings. He's slashing .241/.313/.409 with 33 RBI, 28 runs scored and 10 homers across 285 plate appearances this season.

Vargas went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox.

Vargas has gone deep twice over his last five games, giving him three homers on the year. He's also racked up 10 RBI over his last eight contests as he continues to get a chance to play semi-regularly as the Diamondbacks have faced five southpaws over their last eight games. Through 65 plate appearances this season, Vargas has a .254/.262/.460 slash line. The switch hitter figures to continue filling a utility role for the remainder of the season.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 11-5 loss to the Cubs.

Garcia launched a two-run homer in the fourth inning before adding a sacrifice fly in the sixth. The 25-year-old has opened September strongly, hitting safely in three of four games with five RBI, three runs scored and three stolen bases. On the season, he's slashing .260/.295/.409 with 12 home runs, 60 RBI, 59 runs scored and 13 steals across 464 plate appearances.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 11-5 win over the Nationals.

Hoerner tallied his fifth multi-hit performance in his last 10 games as the Chicago infielder stayed hot at the plate. While not known for his power, the 28-year-old has also gone deep twice during this 10-game stretch after hitting only four home runs in his previous 125 games. Hoerner will continue to derive most of his fantasy value moving forward from his strong contact skills and his speed, as he has 23 stolen bases this year in 27 attempts.

The Marlins selected Winkler's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Miami designated Winkler for assignment last month, but he's back on the 40-man roster. He logged 12 plate appearances for the Marlins earlier this season and slashed .167/.167/.333 with one stolen base and a 0:4 BB:K.

The Cardinals optioned Prieto to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Prieto went 1-for-6 with five strikeouts during his first cup of coffee in the majors. He could get another opportunity before the end of this month but will head back to Memphis for now.

Turang isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Philadelphia.

Turang doesn't typically bow out of the lineup whenever the Brewers face a lefty, but the team will use Thursday's matchup against Ranger Suarez as an opportunity to get the white-hot Turang a day to rest. Andruw Monasterio will fill in at the keystone and bat seventh.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a run scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Marlins.

The 25-year-old swiped multiple bags in the same game for the first time since May 1, giving him 13 steals on the season in 18 attempts. Garcia hasn't been able to repeat his 2024 numbers, but he's reached double-digit home runs and stolen bases for the second straight year. Over his last 11 contests, he's batting .286 (10-for-35) with two doubles, two homers, three steals, five runs and six RBI.
