Muncy went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Saturday's loss to Boston.

The 33-year-old slugger deposited a fifth-inning James Paxton offering into the Fenway bleachers for a two-run shot, giving the Dodgers a 4-2 lead. Muncy has now reached the 30-homer plateau for the fourth time in his career. However, his batting average remains below the Mendoza Line at .197 for the year.

Bregman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two walks, a two-run homer, two additional RBI and two additional runs scored in Saturday's win over Detroit.

In total, Bregman reached safely in five of his six at-bats, being walked twice on top of his three hits. He finished the day with three extra-base hits after failing to record one in any of his last four appearances. Bregman's been on a heater of late, going 13-for-31 (.419) with two homers, 10 runs scored and eight RBI while striking out just four times in 39 plate appearances (10.3 percent).

Moncada went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's win over the Athletics.

Moncada took JP Sears yard in the third inning for his fifth long ball of the season, driving in Tim Anderson and Eloy Jimenez. The third baseman has now hit safely in seven of his last eight appearances, a stretch in which he's batting 8-for-28 (.286) with six RBI but striking out 31 percent of the time.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, two total RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-6 loss to the Cubs.

Hayes has seven multi-hit efforts with two homers and four doubles over his last 11 contests. His blast Saturday opened the scoring for the Pirates in the first inning, though it quickly went downhill for the home team. Hayes is up to 10 homers, 48 RBI, 45 runs scored and nine stolen bases while slashing .264/.303/.432 over 96 games this season.

Arenado (back) isn't starting Saturday's game against Philadelphia, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado had to leave Friday's contest after his back tightened up on him mid-game, and the issue is apparently serious enough to warrant him missing a start Saturday. Nolan Gorman will start at third base in Arenado's place while Tommy Edman starts at second and Luken Baker serves as the Cards' DH.

Machado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Friday in a loss to the Brewers.

Machado smashed a 404-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning for San Diego's first run. The third baseman has picked up his power of late, going deep four times over his past six games. He's now at 25 homers on the season, a mark he's reached every year since 2015 with the exception of the condensed 2020 campaign.

Suarez went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

Suarez had some timely hitting Friday, knocking a go-ahead two-run single in the fourth inning and adding insurance with an RBI double in the eighth. The third baseman extended his hitting streak to seven games, a span in which he's gone 10-for-30 (.333) with eight RBI. For the season, he's at a .238/.330/.394 slash line with 18 home runs, 83 RBI, 51 runs scored, two stolen bases and 20 doubles over 128 contests.

Henderson went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 5-4 victory over the Rockies.

Henderson belted a two-run blast over the right-field wall in the eighth inning that turned a one-run deficit into the winning margin for the O's. It's been a solid month for the elite prospect, and he's batting .286 with five home runs, 20 RBI and 15 runs scored since the calendar turned to August. The talented rookie is now up to 22 homers on the season.

Muncy went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Friday's victory over the Red Sox.

Muncy pushed home a run with an RBI groundout in the sixth inning before knocking a two-run double in the seventh. It was his first multi-RBI game since Aug. 10; in his previous 10 games since then, Muncy had registered a .578 OPS. The veteran infielder is now slashing .197/.330/.467 with 80 RBI and 41 extra-base knocks through 443 plate appearances.

Kieboom went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Marlins.

Kieboom's blast off Braxton Garrett in the sixth inning wasn't a cheap one, travelling 409 feet with an exit velocity of 104.9 mph. It's his second long ball in three games since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester. Kieboom was making his second straight start and third start in the last four games at third base, and he should continue to see regular action at the hot corner -- he was one of the Nationals' top prospects prior to a spate of injuries that derailed his career and is still just 25.
