  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Scores twice in win

    Tatis went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and two runs scored during Sunday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.

    Tatis recorded a second straight multi-hit game, and he reached in three of his four plate appearances Sunday. The 26-year-old came into the contest 4-for-31 (.129) with four runs scored and two stolen bases in August. He's slashing .262/.365/.431 on the year.

  • MacKenzie Gore SP | TEX

    Nationals' MacKenzie Gore: Rebounds with dominant start

    Gore (5-12) picked up the win Sunday against San Francisco, allowing three hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts over six scoreless innings.

    Gore had lost his last four starts leading up to Sunday's outing, but he rediscovered the elite form he had earlier in the campaign. He fanned double-digit hitters for the first time in 19 starts and delivered his first quality start in five outings. The 26-year-old yielded 23 runs in 15.2 innings with a 10:11 K:BB during his previous four appearances. In 132 innings this season, Gore has a 4.09 ERA and a 158:47 K:BB. He's penciled in to make his next start against the Phillies over the weekend.

  • Giants' Justin Verlander: Roughed up by Nats

    Verlander (1-9) took the loss Sunday against Washington, allowing five runs on 11 hits and one walk across five innings. He struck out six.

    Verlander had been excellent in his previous three appearances, yielding one run across 15 innings. He surrendered more hits Sunday than he did during that three-start stretch and set a season-worst mark in the column. Through 20 starts in 2025, Verlander has a 4.53 ERA and an 87:36 K:BB over 99.1 innings. The 42-year-old will be back on the bump next weekend against Tampa Bay.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Goes yard Sunday

    Abrams went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 8-0 win over San Francisco.

    Abrams lifted his 15th homer of the campaign, swatting a two-run shot off Justin Verlander in the second frame. The outing snapped a minor drought at the plate, as Abrams entered the contest with just three hits in his last 30 at-bats. The shortstop is slashing .268/.333/.457 in 458 plate appearances this season.

  • James Wood RF | WAS

    Nationals' James Wood: Keeps raking

    Wood went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-RBI doubles and a run scored during Sunday's 8-0 win over the Giants.

    Wood finished the three-game set against San Francisco 5-for-13 with four doubles and a home run after notching his third game of 2025 with multiple doubles Sunday. When the outfielder wasn't roping extra-base hits, though, he was often striking out. Wood had seven Ks during the series. On the year, Wood has 25 home runs, 14 stolen bases and an .844 OPS.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Nationals' Paul DeJong: Collects three hits

    DeJong went 3-for-5 with two RBI singles during Sunday's 8-0 win over San Francisco.

    The veteran infielder has handled some regular playing time at second base this week while Luis Garcia tends to a back injury, and DeJong delivered a second straight multi-hit game. Sunday's performance marked his second game with at least three hits in 2025, and his second with multiple RBI. DeJong is slashing .243/.287/.367 on the year.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Ends power drought Sunday

    Olson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Marlins.

    Olson got Atlanta on the board with a 419-foot blast in the fourth inning, marking his first homer since July 20. In 19 games between long balls, the first baseman hit just .247 with four doubles and five RBI. For the year, he's slashing .262/.363/.451 with 19 home runs, 70 RBI and 66 runs scored across 526 plate appearances.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Stays hot Sunday

    Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Marlins.

    Ozuna provided Atlanta with key insurance via a 422-foot homer in the seventh inning. The 34-year-old has now gone deep four times in as many games, racking up six hits and eight RBI in that span. He's slashing .240/.369/.427 with 19 homers, 56 RBI and 47 runs scored this season and should remain the team's primary DH amid his recent hot streak.

  • Joey Wentz SP | ATL

    Braves' Joey Wentz: Earns third win

    Wentz (3-3) earned the win against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing one run four hits and three walks with two strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

    Wentz generated just five whiffs on 88 pitches and allowed 11 hard-hit balls but limited the Marlins to a single run in the second inning. Since joining the rotation July 19, the southpaw has posted a 3.16 ERA over 25.2 innings. He'll carry a 5.03 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 54:30 K:BB across 62.2 frames this season into a road matchup with the Guardians next weekend.

  • Cal Quantrill RP | TEX

    Marlins' Cal Quantrill: Early exit in no-decision

    Quantrill did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-1 loss to Atlanta, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with one strikeout over four innings.

    Quantrill was surprisingly pulled after just 47 pitches despite retiring the first seven batters he faced and allowing just one run on a solo homer in the fourth inning. While the 30-year-old has given up one earned run or fewer in four of five starts since the All-Star break, he's topped five innings just once in that span. He'll carry a 5.09 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 80:29 K:BB across 106 innings into a road matchup with the Red Sox next weekend.
