Sanoja went 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Angels.

Sanoja delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning before driving in two more in the fifth. The 23-year-old has now hit safely in seven of eight August contests, going 10-for-27 with five extra-base hits and seven RBI during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .274/.312/.411 with four homers, 42 RBI, 29 runs scored and six stolen bases across 318 plate appearances.

Conine went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Angels.

Conine notched his first career multi-homer effort, going deep in the fifth and eighth innings. The 29-year-old has found his power stroke in the second half, tallying seven home runs in 22 games since the All-Star break. For the season, he's slashing .265/.349/.544 with 12 long balls, 26 RBI, 23 runs scored and two steals across just 166 plate appearances.

The Brewers promoted Burke from Double-A Biloxi to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Burke has had a remarkable season with Double-A Biloxi, slashing .285/.367/.603 with 30 home runs and 28 steals in 96 games. The 23-year-old has shown impressive power throughout his entire professional career since the Brewers selected him 34th overall in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, and if he maintains a similar level of production with Nashville, he could have a shot at making his MLB debut early in 2027.

Holmes did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1, extra-inning win over the Yankees, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out two over six scoreless innings.

Holmes needed just 77 pitches to cruise through six scoreless innings, generating 10 swinging strikes while limiting the Yankees to one extra-base hit. The 30-year-old has now delivered back-to-back scoreless quality starts, and he's yielded three earned runs or fewer in 16 straight appearances dating back to May 12. He'll carry a 3.47 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 94:48 K:BB across 114 innings this season into a home matchup with the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Ohtani (knee/biceps) is scheduled to play catch Monday for the second time in three days, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Ohtani served as the Dodgers' designated hitter in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Before playing catch out to 90 feet Saturday, Ohtani had been shut down from throwing for approximately two weeks due to lingering soreness and inflammation in his left knee as well as a right biceps issue, which cropped up during his last bullpen session July 22. The two-way superstar reported no issues coming out of Saturday's catch session and is set to repeat the activity Monday, but Roberts wouldn't provide a timeline for when Ohtani might get back on a mound, terming it as a "day-by-day" decision. The Dodgers are planning on Ohtani being part of their rotation in the postseason, and while he's still expected to resume pitching in games before the end of the regular season, he may not be ready to handle a traditional starting role and could instead be deployed as more of an opener while he gradually builds up his pitch count.

Iglesias (1-2) earned the win in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Yankees, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Iglesias shut down the heart of the Yankees' order in the bottom of the ninth inning before Atlanta took the win in the 10th. It was a clutch effort after the veteran closer allowed two earned runs in back-to-back outings, including a blown save Friday. On the season, he's 24-for-27 in save chances with a 2.95 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 48:12 K:BB across 42.2 innings.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.

Marte has regularly batted cleanup since July 25, but the results haven't really been there. He's 8-for-54 (.148) with two homers, two doubles and four RBI over his 14 contests in that spot. On the bright side, the second baseman secured his fourth straight 20-homer campaign with his long ball Sunday. He's hitting .244 with a .744 OPS, 64 RBI, 61 runs scored, 22 doubles, three triples and four stolen bases over 113 games this season and should be able to hit his way out of this slump eventually.

Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs, four total RBI and three walks in Sunday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays.

Schwarber opened the scoring in the third inning with a three-run, opposite-field blast off Shane Bieber before extending the lead to 4-2 with a 448-foot solo shot in the fifth. The two-homer game snapped an extended power drought for Schwarber, who had gone 17 games without a long ball -- he went just 10-for-57 (.175) with three RBI in that span. Schwarber is now slashing .247/.369/.535 through 503 plate appearances this season with 68 RBI, 68 runs scored and 35 home runs, tied with Yordan Alvarez for the most in the majors.

Ginkel struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.

Ginkel has allowed five runs (four earned) over 5.2 innings since Arizona's closer committee emerged. He has a save, a blown save, a hold and a win in that span. There's still no favorite for saves currently -- Brandyn Garcia has picked up two of them to Ginkel's one, while Jonathan Loaisiga and Juan Morillo have served more in setup roles since Paul Sewald was removed from the closer role. For the year, Ginkel has a 3.60 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 47:15 K:BB through 50 innings while adding 11 holds.

Giants manager Tony Vitello said that Susac exited Sunday's 3-1 extra-inning loss to the Tigers in the bottom of the seventh due to a left knee contusion, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Susac went 0-for-2 with a strikeout prior to his departure.

Susac fouled a ball of his knee in the bottom of the fifth and exited the game the next time his turn in the batting order came up two innings later. Fortunately for Susac, Vitello said that X-rays on the rookie catcher's knee returned negative. The 25-year-old is dealing with a significant amount of swelling in his knee and is considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Astros.
