Schwarber went 5-for-6 with a double, three home runs, four runs scored and six RBI in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Blue Jays.

The 31-year-old slugger became only the second Phillie in history to record a five-hit, three-homer performance, joining Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt in a very exclusive club. Schwarber led off the game with a solo shot off Chris Bassitt and then added another off the veteran righty in the fourth, but it was his three-run blast in the top of the ninth off Chad Green that completed an improbable comeback from an early 6-1 deficit. Schwarber is up to 31 homers, 88 RBI and 92 runs on the season to go with an .843 OPS, his highest mark in the latter category since 2021.

Manzardo went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Royals.

Manzardo has multiple hits in two of three games since he rejoined the big-league roster. He's gone 5-for-10 with two home runs in that span. The 24-year-old is slashing .239/.276/.424 with two homers, nine RBI, six runs scored, 11 doubles and no stolen bases over 98 plate appearances. He's started three straight games at designated hitter since his recall and looks to be cutting into Will Brennan's playing time, though the right-handed-hitting Jhonkensy Noel could be the one to lose out more often versus right-handed pitchers in the long run.

Larnach is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

It's lefty Jeffrey Springs on the hill for Tampa Bay, so the left-handed hitting Larnach will begin the festivities on the bench even after he cranked a three-run homer in Monday's win over the Rays. Austin Martin will be in left field.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with two walks, two runs and three stolen bases in Monday's 11-6 victory versus Arizona.

Ohtani was in full leadoff-hitter mode Monday, reaches four times without an extra-base hit and running wild on the bases. The superstar slugger has been a terror on the basepaths for over five weeks, going a perfect 22-of-22 on theft attempts over his past 34 contests. Ohtani has added 13 home runs, 24 RBI, 30 runs and 15 walks during that span, and with 44 long balls and 46 steals on the season, his pursuit of MLB's first ever 50-50 campaign is well within reach.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-4 win against the Rangers on Monday.

Stanton drilled a 418-foot solo shot to center field in the eighth inning. The slugger has gone deep in each of his first two games in September and has knocked in five runs across his past three contests. Stanton's 25 homers and 62 RBI in 2024 are each more than he posted last season, and he's improved his slash line considerably to .244/.303/.503 through 383 plate appearances.

Larnach went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rays.

Larnach gave the Twins a lead they wouldn't relinquish on a three-run blast in the second inning. Over his past 10 games, the 27-year-old has gone hitless six times but has also notched three multi-hit efforts with three long balls and 11 RBI. On the year, he is hitting .254 with 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 47 runs scored and four steals across 331 plate appearances.

The Mets placed Martinez on the paternity list Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Martinez will be allowed to spend up to three days away from the Mets as he spends time with his expanding family. To fill his spot on the active roster, DJ Stewart was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.

Manzardo will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Royals.

Manzardo earned a second straight start after cranking his first two major-league home runs in Sunday's victory over the Pirates. The path is there for the 24-year-old to pick up regular playing time for the Guardians down the stretch, but he'll have to perform. Manzardo slashed just .207/.241/.329 with a 26.4 percent strikeout rate over 30 games in his first stint in the majors.

Jimenez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Following Ryan Mountcastle's (wrist) move to the injured list a week ago, Jimenez has moved into a near-everyday role for the Orioles, starting in seven of the last eight games. According to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, Anthony Santander may not be moving around at full speed after tripping while rounding first base in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Rockies, so he'll get a day out of the outfield and will serve as the designated hitter Monday, which leaves no room in the lineup for Jimenez. Assuming Santander is cleared to play the outfield later on in the series, Jimenez should reclaim a spot in the starting nine in short order.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.

Stanton hit the Yankees' only long ball in the contest, belting a solo shot to left field in the second inning. The slugger reached three times overall in the defeat, marking a fine start to September after he slashed .224/.286/.487 with five home runs and 15 RBI across 21 games in August. Each of Stanton's past four hits -- three doubles and a homer -- have gone for extra bases.
