India started at second base and went 2-for-3 in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Cubs.

India returned to the lineup after missing one game due to a head injury. He was back in his normal roles as Cincinnati's second baseman and leadoff batter.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 5-3 loss to San Diego.

Suarez was the lone Arizona batter to deliver with runners in scoring position during a stinging loss that put the Diamondbacks outside the final wild-card spot. He's been one of the team's hottest hitters this month, posting a slash line of .348/.390/.641 with eight home runs, 16 RBI and 22 runs over 24 contests. Suarez enters the weekend with 29 home runs and 99 RBI.

Smith started in right field, went 0-for-4 and couldn't track down a couple of flyballs in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Padres.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo went with Smith's offensive potential -- he had six homers and a .310 batting average in September coming into the game -- over Jake McCarthy, a better defender with more range. The move backfired immediately when Smith couldn't track down leadoff batter Luis Arraez's flyball, opening the door to San Diego's four-run first inning. Smith later couldn't track down another fly from Arraez in the fourth that turned into a triple and the Padres' fifth run. The loss left the Diamondbacks outside the final wild-card spot with two games left and could lead to McCarthy replacing Smith on Saturday.

Oller (2-4) allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings Friday, striking out three and taking a loss against Toronto.

Oller coughed up three runs in the third inning before Ernie Clement smacked a solo homer in the fourth. Oller still picked up a fairly easy win as the Marlins exploded for 15 runs. Since his last win Aug. 25, he was 0-3 with a 5.00 ERA over a five-start stretch. He posted a 5.30 ERA over 52.2 innings between Triple-A Columbus and Triple-A Jacksonville. Oller then produced a 5.31 ERA with a 36:22 K:BB through 42.1 MLB innings.

Conine went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's win over Toronto.

Conine hit a two-run single during Miami's three-run fourth inning before knocking a solo shot in the seventh. It was his third home run in his 28th career MLB appearance and two of those have come in his last seven games. Conine is slashing .257/.321/.446 over 81 plate appearances.

Bride went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Blue Jays.

Bride knocked a two-run homer in the first inning and capped off Miami's 15-run outburst with a solo shot in the eighth. He's gone 9-for-21 (.429) with four home runs over his last five games. Bride is up to 11 homers this season with an .814 OPS and 36 RBI through 264 plate appearances.

Edwards went 4-for-6 with three triples, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over Toronto.

Edwards knocked a pair of two-run triples in the second and seventh innings, sandwiched around another triple in the fourth. He became the first Marlin to ever rack up three triples in a game. It was Edwards' fourth consecutive multi-hit contest, during which he had five extra-base hits and seven RBI. For the year, he owns an impressive .327/.396/.420 slash line with 17 extra-base hits and 37 runs scored through 68 games.

Jones allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out seven during a win over the Yankees.

Jones worked around a couple of jams through four shutout frames but was charged with two runs after leaving the game with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. It was his third straight start with five or fewer innings pitched after beginning the month with a pair of quality starts. Jones made just six starts after the All-Star break due to a lat strain. He posted a 5.87 ERA during that stretch. Jones' rookie year was mostly considered a success otherwise, as he finished with a 4.14 ERA and a 132:39 K:BB through 121.2 innings.

Chapman struck out two batters in a perfect inning to earn a save against the Yankees on Friday.

Chapman needed only eight pitches to quickly plow through the Yankees' 7-8-9 hitters and finish off the 4-2 win. It was his 13th save of the season and eight have come in September. He's converted seven consecutive save chances while posting a 2.57 ERA over his last seven appearances. Chapman owns a 3.84 ERA and a 97:39 K:BB through 61 innings this year.

Reynolds went 2-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Yankees.

Reynolds tied the game at 2-2 with his solo shot in the sixth inning. He then drilled a go-ahead two-run shot in the eighth. Reynolds snapped a 21-game homerless drought, during which he posted a disappointing .580 OPS. He's up to 24 home runs, matching his total from both 2023 and 2021. Reynolds is slashing .276/.344/.450 through 683 plate appearances.
