Tovar went 3-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

Tovar's got a hot bat -- he's logged four multi-hit efforts while going 12-for-33 (.364) over his last nine games. While he's posted just two extra-base hits and two RBI in that span, the consistency at the plate is encouraging, though most of the hot streak has come at home. He's up to a .272/.314/.434 slash line with eight homers, 24 RBI, 39 runs scored and four stolen bases over 75 contests. Like many Rockies hitters, he's had some extreme home-road splits this year with a .947 OPS at Coors Field and a .532 OPS away from home.

Duran earned a save against the Marlins on Saturday, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.

Duran needed just 10 pitches (seven strikes) to set Miami down in order and secure the save. The righty closer continues to thrive since joining the Phillies at the trade deadline -- he's converted 11 of 12 save opportunities with his new team while posting a magnificent 15:0 K:BB and allowing just two earned runs over 12.2 innings. Duran's save Saturday was his 27th of the campaign, tying the career-high mark he set with Minnesota in 2023.

Goodman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

Goodman's blast came in the sixth inning, and while the Rockies made a comeback push, they fell short. Compared to recent contests, this was a quiet one for Goodman, but he's still 10-for-21 (.476) with three homers and 10 RBI over five games to begin September. The catcher has 29 long balls, 86 RBI, 67 runs scored, 25 doubles, four triples and a stolen base while maintaining an .871 OPS across 125 contests this year.

Luzardo (13-6) earned the win over Miami on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out eight batters over six innings.

Though Luzardo issued four free passes, none of the batters he walked came around to score. The left-hander racked up 14 whiffs and eight punchouts while notching his seventh quality start across his past eight outings. During that stretch, Luzardo has posted a 2.64 ERA with a 54:13 K:BB over 47.2 innings. That's brought his season ERA down to 4.01 as he seeks to finish below the 4.00 mark for the third time in his past four campaigns.

Beck went 3-for-5 with three-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

Beck has gone 10-for-31 (.323) over his last eight contests. His homer Saturday was his first since Aug. 3, giving him 15 long balls on the year, but he's still provided fairly consistent hitting from the heart of the order. Overall, Beck is batting .273 with a .776 OPS, 50 RBI, 57 runs scored, 15 stolen bases, 25 doubles and five triples across 128 games this season.

Moniak went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

Contrary to a previous report, Moniak was in the lineup as the designated hitter. He snapped a stretch of 17 games without a homer when he went deep in the ninth inning Saturday, though he's been steady by going 18-for-63 (.286) across his last 18 contests. The outfielder is at a .267/.306/.508 slash line with 19 homers, 57 RBI, 54 runs scored and six stolen bases through 118 games this season, and he secured his first 100-hit campaign with Saturday's performance.

Brown (0-3) allowed six runs on five hits and a walk while striking out one over 1.2 innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Saturday.

Brown had the shortest start of his career so far as the Padres ambushed him for six runs in the second inning. He's now allowed 13 runs over 9.1 innings across three starts, losing all three. It's unclear if the Rockies will be willing to stomach a few more starts for Brown over the remainder of the season. If he stays in the rotation for another turn, he's tentatively projected for a rematch with the Padres in San Diego next week.

McCoy went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

McCoy started for just the second time in eight games since he was called up from Triple-A El Paso in late August. The infielder hasn't been able to supplant Jose Iglesias in the starting lineup on a regular basis, though McCoy has drawn both of his starts against right-handed pitchers despite being a righty hitter. His hit Saturday was his first of the season to go along with a 1:6 BB:K over 13 plate appearances, so he hasn't shown enough yet to push for a regular role.

O'Hearn went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

The double was O'Hearn's first extra-base hit since Aug. 26, and he's now gone 15 contests without a homer. He's 15-for-54 (.278) with five walks in that span, but he's added just one RBI. For the season, he's logged a .280/.372/.450 slash line, 16 home runs, 54 RBI, 61 runs scored, 19 doubles and three stolen bases over 125 games between San Diego and Baltimore.

Arraez went 3-for-6 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

Arraez knocked in the Padres' last two runs of the game in the fifth inning, which ended up being the difference in the game. The steal was his 10th of the season, establishing a career high, with five of those thefts coming over his last 19 games. In that span, he's batting .280 (21-for-75), which is right in line with his .287 average on the year. The infielder has added a .712 OPS, seven home runs, 54 RBI, 57 runs scored, 29 doubles and four triples over 136 contests as he continues to provide steady contact.
