Moniak went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians.

In the bottom of the fifth, Moniak drilled a solo home run into the seats to cut Cleveland's lead to one. The 28-year-old is now just four long balls shy of his career-high (24), which he accomplished in 2025 with Colorado. This year, Moniak has slashed .264/.306/.540 with 21 home runs and 60 RBI in 340 plate appearances.

Tidwell allowed three hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven over 5.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Saturday.

Tidwell allowed six runs in his last outing, which was by far his worst start of the year. He bounced back well in this road appearance, but the Giants' bullpen couldn't maintain the lead. Tidwell now has a 3.58 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB across 32.2 innings through 12 games (four starts) in the majors this season. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Diamondbacks.

Hughes (0-5) picked up the loss after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks Saturday against the Guardians. He struck out two.

Hughes has yet to record a win this season through nine appearances after picking up his fifth loss Saturday, and he hasn't topped three strikeouts over his last three starts. However, the 25-year-old made just one key mistake in this one, allowing a three-run homer to Jo Adell in the fourth. On the year, Hughes owns a 6.54 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 35:15 K:BB over 42.2 innings. The right-hander is slated to make his next start Thursday against the Nationals.

Scott did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-5 win over the White Sox after allowing four runs on five hits and four walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out six.

Scott was unable to make it through five innings after giving up two long balls Saturday. The 27-year-old was unable to pick up a second straight victory but still recorded his seventh consecutive game with six or more strikeouts. The right-hander owns a 4-3 record, 3.73 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 111:39 K:BB in 89.1 innings this season.

Benge went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base during a 10-5 win Saturday over the White Sox.

The rookie outfielder blasted his 16th long ball of the season off Tyler Schweitzer in the fifth inning to extend New York's lead. Benge continued his impressive stretch of late with his first three-hit game since Aug. 6. Over his last 15 games, the 23-year-old has slashed .356/.406/.610 with four homers and 11 RBI in 63 plate appearances.

Robert went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and a strikeout in Saturday's 10-5 win over the White Sox.

Robert connected for his first multi-homer game of the season after launching his eighth and ninth long balls Saturday. The 29-year-old belted his first blast in the third inning off starter Luis Castillo and then hit his second off former Met Huascar Brazoban in the seventh. This season, Robert is slashing .222/.297/.404 with nine homers, two steals, 22 runs and 22 RBI in just 192 plate appearances.

Scott struck out one in a clean ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the Pirates.

Back in the closer role for the Dodgers with Edwin Diaz (neck) sidelined, Scott has successfully converted three straight save appearances since Tuesday. Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Diaz will handle a low-leverage role once he returns from the injured list, so it sounds like Scott has a real chance to retain the ninth-inning gig for the remainder of the regular season. The hard-throwing left-hander boasts a 2.24 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 64:11 K:BB over 52.1 innings, collecting 19 saves (21 attempts) and 12 holds.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Saturday's 10-5 win over the White Sox.

Bichette launched a long ball for the second consecutive game against the White Sox. With his two hits Saturday, the 28-year-old has now picked up at least one base knock in eight of his last nine games. In his first season with the Mets, Bichette is batting .268/.314/.398 with 14 homers and 66 RBI in 557 plate appearances.

Skubal (8-7) earned the win against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out 11.

After coughing up three runs in the opening frame, the All-Star left-hander responded by shutting Pittsburgh down the rest of the way to notch his first victory with the Dodgers. He racked up double-digit strikeouts Saturday for the third time this year, and he wound up posting his 12th quality start over 20 appearances on the season as well. Skubal, who has a strong 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB across 24 innings since being traded to the Dodgers, is slated to face his former Tigers teammates in Detroit next weekend.

Wetherholt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 12-3 loss to the Phillies.

Wetherholt singled in the third inning before launching a 417-foot blast in the eighth. It snapped a 20-game power drought for the rookie, who's tallied four multi-hit efforts in his past eight contests but still owns a lowly .626 OPS in 20 August contests. For the year, he's slashing .243/.346/.377 with 17 homers, 47 RBI, 86 runs scored and 13 steals across 566 plate appearances.
