Feltner (3-10) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Feltner has had limited success this year, but he's allowed more than two runs just once in five starts since he returned from a shoulder injury. That span also includes two of his three wins on the year. Feltner has a 4.73 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 129:49 K:BB through 150.1 innings over 28 starts this year. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Cardinals.

Yorke went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Cardinals.

Yorke went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in his major-league debut Monday. It didn't take him long to check off another first, as he had three singles in his second career game. The contact-oriented infielder should continue to get steady playing time down the stretch as the Pirates evaluate his major-league readiness for 2025. Yorke has started both of his big-league contests at second base, which could lead to Nick Gonzales being forced to share shortstop with Isiah Kiner-Falefa to finish the year.

De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Cardinals.

De La Cruz's second-inning homer was the Pirates' lone scoring play of the contest. This was the outfielder's 20th homer of the year, though he's hit just two of them over 37 contests since he was traded from the Marlins to the Pirates. He's added a .236/.273/.386 slash line with 64 RBI, 59 runs scored, 24 doubles and four stolen bases over 142 games this year.

Falter (8-8) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Falter had gone 4-0 with a 4.46 ERA over his last eight outings. He was not the Pirates' problem Tuesday -- a lack of offense was the cause of this loss. For the season, Falter has a 4.15 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 92:41 K:BB across 134.1 innings over 26 starts. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Brewers as he continues to audition for a spot in the Pirates' 2025 rotation.

Siani went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Pirates.

Siani has logged five steals over 13 contests in September, giving him 19 thefts on the year. He's been able to find success on the basepaths despite batting .143 (6-for-42) this month. He had a hot start to the second half before an oblique injury derailed his momentum. Siani is at a .239/.282/.301 slash line through 114 contests in his first full year in the majors.

McCray went 2-for-2 with two walks, three runs scored and a pair of stolen bases in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Orioles.

McCray reached base in all four of his plate appearances Tuesday while recording his fourth and fifth stolen bases of the season. The 23-year-old outfielder had gone just 2-for-21 in his previous seven games while playing a part-time role in San Francisco. Overall, McCray's slashing .239/.280/.466 with five homers, nine RBI and 10 runs scored through his first 93 plate appearances in the big leagues.

Sanchez went 5-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 11-9 win over the Dodgers.

Sanchez opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before extending Miami's lead to 3-0 with another base hit in the second. The outfielder would add a third RBI with a double in the fourth en route to his first career five-hit game. The 26-year-old Sanchez had gone just 1-for-16 in five contests coming into Tuesday. He's slashing .252/.309/.424 with 17 homers, 62 RBI, 52 runs scored and 14 stolen bases across 489 plate appearances this season.

Donovan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Pirates.

Donovan picked up his first steal since Aug. 23. He's had a steady September, going 16-for-47 (.340) across 13 contests despite missing some time due to a foot infection. The 27-year-old has supplied middling totals in the counting stats with 12 home runs, five steals, 64 RBI and 61 runs scored over 142 contests, but he's been fairly reliable with a .270/.336/.402 slash line while seeing time in left field and at second base for most of the year. He may spend more time in left to close out the campaign with Thomas Saggese getting a look at the keystone.

McCaughan didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

McCaughan got through the first two innings unscathed before he was tagged for four runs in the third on a Shohei Ohtani homer and a Max Muncy double. He'd allow a fifth run on a Miguel Rojas solo shot in the fourth. McCaughan has yet to make it past the fifth inning in his four starts with the Marlins. His ERA is up to 7.33 with a 1.67 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB across 27 innings. McCaughan will look for a better result in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend at home versus Atlanta.

Goldschmidt went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Pirates.

Goldschmidt was held hitless for his fourth game in a row, but he was able to draw a walk for the fourth time in eight contests. The first baseman's steal was his 10th of the year -- he's reached double digits in three of the last four seasons and a total of eight times in his 14-year career. Goldschmidt has added a mediocre .244/.303/.410 slash line with 21 home runs, 59 RBI and 63 runs scored through 144 contests in what's been the worst season of his career by many metrics.
