Bailey went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

The home run was his first since July 10 and just his fourth extra-base hit since Aug. 17. Bailey now has five multi-hit games this month and is putting up similar numbers to his rookie campaign in 2023, slashing .235/.297/.342 with eight homers, 44 RBI, 45 runs, three steals and a 37:97 BB:K in 436 plate appearances.

Blackmon went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple and an RBI on Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Blackmon announced his retirement Monday and followed that up with a vintage performance a day later. His .318 wOBA and 91 wRC+ for the season match his career-worst marks, though he could be intriguing in the final week of the campaign as the Rockies finish the schedule at Coors Field. Meanwhile, Blackmon has maintained a .375 wOBA and .220 ISO at home this season.

Wisely went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Wisely went deep off Blake Walston in the third inning for the Giants' second three-run homer in the frame. The home run was Wisely's first since June 28 and his first extra-base hit since Aug. 31. He has just 10 hits in 30 games since the beginning of August and will look to find some sort of resurgence at the plate over the final five days of the season.

Conforto went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Conforto put his stamp on the game with a three-run blast in the third to put the Giants up 4-0. He's now homered four times over his last six games while racking up seven RBI over that span, and he's reached 20 homers in a season for the first time since 2019. The 31-year-old is now slashing .234/.305/.451 with 50 extra-base hits, 66 RBI, 54 runs and a 41:117 BB:K in 476 plate appearances.

Whitman logged a 4.96 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 54:11 K:BB in 52.2 innings across 11 starts for High-A Eugene.

His final start was Aug. 17, but he was never placed on the injured list, so perhaps Whitman had reached his workload limit after logging 103 innings across Single-A and High-A. A 6-foot-5 lefty who turned 23 last week, Whitman pitched much better than his ERA at High-A indicates (3.56 FIP, 3.46 xFIP), and is one of the Giants' best pitching prospects. His strikeout rate remained around 25 percent after his promotion while he lowered his walk rate from 11.9 percent at Single-A to five percent at High-A. Whitman has a true three-pitch mix, headlined by a low-90s fastball with good movement and a plus slider.

Harris went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Mets.

The 23-year-old outfielder rapped an RBI double in the third inning to get Atlanta on the board before taking Luis Severino deep for a solo shot in the fourth. Harris has been on fire to close out September, slashing .417/.438/.850 over the last 13 games with seven homers, 13 RBI and 16 runs, and he's a big reason why his team is still even in the wild-card picture in the final week of the regular season.

Chivilli (1-3) allowed four earned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out one across two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Chivilli has experienced plenty of success during his first sample in the majors, as he had a 1.96 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with a 22:8 K:BB across his last 22 appearances entering Tuesday's contest. His implosion was untimely, however, with the Rockies trying to find a closer with Tyler Kinley (elbow) sidelined. Chivilli was used in the eighth inning of a tie game, which suggest he'll stick in a setup role for the final week of the season.

Ramos went 4-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Giants.

Ramos belted his 22nd home run of the season in the fourth inning to extend the Giants' lead to 8-0, though it was just his second home run since Aug. 27. Tuesday's game was the first of his career with four hits and his seventh this season with at least three hits. Ramos is now slashing .270/.323/.473 with 71 RBI, 53 runs, six steals and a 36:132 BB:K in 505 plate appearances. He also currently leads the team with a .796 OPS, just ahead of Matt Chapman (.793).

Schwellenbach (8-7) picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-1 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out four.

The rookie right-hander took a shutout into the seventh inning before serving up a solo shot to Mark Vientos, and Schwellenbach left the mound after 87 pitches (62 strikes). He has been huge for Atlanta down the stretch as the team tries to earn a playoff berth -- he's given up three runs or fewer in 11 straight outings, posting a 2.59 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 73:13 K:BB through 66 innings over that stretch, and Tuesday's quality start was his third straight and his 11th of the year. He's tentatively scheduled to work the final game of the regular season at home Sunday against the Royals, with a potential wild-card spot on the line.

Vientos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Atlanta.

The 24-year-old spoiled Spencer Schwellenbach's shutout bid in the seventh inning when he drove the first pitch he saw the other way for a 346-foot homer. Vientos has had an up-and-down September, but he's racked up seven hits in the last six games, including a double and two long balls, despite striking out 11 times in 25 plate appearances. He's overall had a successful first extended look at big-league pitching, posting a .270/.328/.523 slash line with 26 home runs and 68 RBI in 107 contests this season, but the Mets may need a little more from him if they're going to hang onto a wild-card spot.
