Carroll went 2-for-3 with one double, one triple, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over Cincinnati.

Carroll delivered the insurance run with a sacrifice fly as part of Arizona's four-run seventh inning. Earlier in the game, he extended an on-base streak to 14 contests, during which he's slashed .340/.452/.720 with five doubles, four triples, two home runs, five RBI, nine walks, two steals and 11 runs scored. Carroll, who experienced a slump coming out of the All-Star break (15-for-76, .197 over 19 games), looks ready to carry the Diamondbacks in their quest for a playoff spot.

Vargas went 2-for-4 with one double, one triple, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

Vargas ripped a two-run triple as part of Arizona's four-run seventh inning, knocking in the tying and go-ahead runs. He then came in to score the insurance run on a sacrifice fly. Vargas started a sixth consecutive game at second base, filling in for the injured Ketel Marte (knee), who began baseball activities last week and is expected to begin hitting this week.

Schwarber went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.

Schwarber capped the Phillies' six-run ninth inning and improbable comeback with a two-run, game-winning blast off Riley O'Brien. It was Schwarber's league-leading 39th home run this season and his second in his last two contests. He's gone 15-for-64 (.266) with six homers in his last 16 games, boosting his slash line to .245/.361/.532 with 78 RBI and 76 runs scored across 559 plate appearances this year.

Sugano (12-7) took the loss Sunday against the Guardians, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two over three innings.

Sugano was hit hard from the outset, allowing four hits and a walk as Cleveland plated three runs in the first inning. Things didn't improve much in the second, with the Guardians adding two more runs on four hits. Sugano needed 92 pitches to record just nine outs, while his nine hits allowed matched a season high. The right-hander has struggled considerably over his last eight innings, surrendering 16 hits and 12 runs (11 earned) while taking consecutive losses. He owns a 4.96 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 71:28 K:BB across 121.2 innings this season and is slated to face Atlanta on the road Friday.

Riley went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic.

Riley continues to labor near the bottom of the order -- he hasn't hit higher than seventh in the lineup since he batted sixth July 24 in Baltimore. The third baseman has gone 20-for-72 (.278) in August, far better than his .223 average for the season. He's added a .662 OPS, 15 home runs, 60 RBI, 54 runs scored, 20 doubles, one triple and eight stolen bases over 130 contests. His counting stats are nearly identical to a 102-game sample from the 2025 regular season, highlighting his clear and sudden decline in productivity this year.

Acuna went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic.

Acuna has gone 4-for-32 (.125) with a 3:13 BB:K and two steals on three attempts over his last eight games. This was just his second game without a strikeout in that span, but his timing at the plate appears to be just a bit off right now. For the season, the star outfielder has struggled more than usual, batting .232 with a .745 OPS, 13 homers, 17 steals, 35 RBI, 44 runs scored, 12 doubles and one triple over 79 contests.

Harris went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic.

Harris restored a two-run lead for Atlanta with his ninth-inning blast. The outfielder had gone all of August without a homer prior to Sunday, though he hit .307 (23-for-75) with nine doubles and a triple during his power drought. For the season, Harris is batting .294 with an .813 OPS, a career-best 21 homers, 71 RBI, 62 runs scored, 30 doubles, one triple and seven stolen bases over 125 contests.

Iglesias allowed a hit and a walk over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic.

Iglesias was brought in after the Brewers put the tying run at third base in the eighth inning. He got out of trouble there and then closed it out in the ninth to pick up his 27th save of the campaign. August has been a little challenging for Iglesias, who has allowed six runs over nine innings this month, though he's still converted four of his five save chances. For the season, the veteran closer has a 3.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 51:15 K:BB across 48 innings.

Mahle (5-10) allowed one run on six hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out four over five-plus innings to earn the win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic on Sunday.

Mahle fell short of a fourth straight quality start, but he delivered another strong performance. He's given up just four runs over 23.2 innings while adding a 23:5 K:BB over four starts with Atlanta since he was traded from San Francisco. He's at a 4.41 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 112:42 K:BB through 118.1 innings over 22 starts this season, but the change of scenery has completely turned his campaign around. Mahle will look to keep rolling in a home start versus Colorado his next time out.

Drohan (6-5) allowed two runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings to take the loss versus Atlanta on Sunday in the Little League Classic.

After a relief appearance earlier in the week, Drohan was back in the rotation. While he didn't have a poor start, the 11 baserunners he allowed got his pitch count up quickly, and he exited at 83 pitches (54 strikes). Drohan is now at a 3.84 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 104:36 K:BB through 105.1 innings over 26 games (15 starts) this season. The left-hander is expected to face some workload limitations over the final month-plus of the season, which could lead to him filling a multi-inning relief role if/when the Brewers trim their rotation back down to five starters.
