Winn went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 6-0 loss to the Mets.

The steal was Winn's 10th of the season, though it was his first since July 5. The shortstop has sacrificed some contact for a bit more power, going 34-for-129 (.264) with five homers over his last 30 contests. For the season, he's at a .278/.325/.413 slash line with nine long balls, 41 RBI, 50 runs scored, 18 doubles and four triples across 105 games.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-6 win against the Guardians.

Marte took Logan Allen deep in the very first pitch of the game. It was Marte's fifth leadoff homer this season, which trails only Kyle Schwarber and Gunnar Henderson for most this season. Marte has been on a tear over his last 13 games with nine home runs and 21 RBI in that span. The 30-year-old is putting together another stellar campaign, hitting .300/.366/.557 with 28 home runs and 78 RBI through 108 games.

Pederson hit a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 win over the Guardians.

Pederson entered the game with one out in the top of the eighth and gave his team the lead with a two-run blast off Scott Barlow. It was Pederson's sixth career pinch-hit home run, and in the process, he became the first Diamondbacks player with go-ahead homers in the seventh inning or later in back-to-back games since 2013. The 32-year-old has caught fire as of late with five home runs and 12 RBI over his last nine games.

Gallen did not factor into the decision in a win over the Guardians on Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out four.

Gallen snapped a streak of three straight starts with a win despite his team giving him plenty of run support on Monday. Despite throwing at least seven innings for just the second time this season, he just didn't have his best stuff and was constantly in trouble. The 29-year-old hasn't been as sharp as he would like recently, as he's allowed five or more runs in three of his last six outings.

Munoz (2-6) took the loss Monday against the Reds. He allowed six runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

Munoz fell victim to the long ball on Monday, allowing multiple home runs in a start for the seventh time in 13 outings this season. The rookie right-hander was coming off his second win of the season but fell back to earth on Monday. Munoz has now allowed at least four runs in seven starts this season and has seen his ERA climb to 5.68 across 69.2 innings.

Busch went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Twins.

Busch came into the night on a three-game hitting streak, during which he blasted two home runs and only struck out once. It was a different story for the 26-year-old Monday as he struck out four times in a game for just the second time this season, with his last such performance coming back on May 5. Busch should be able to bounce back, as he's batting a solid .257 with a .797 OPS this year.

Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's loss to the Reds.

Sanchez hammered one off reliever Jakob Junis in the sixth inning for his 13th home run this season. Sanchez's 480-foot homer was the longest in the majors this season, but it wasn't even the longest of his career, as he hit one 496 feet back in May of 2022. The 26-year-old broke out of a stretch of 11 games without a homer, and since the Marlins latest fire sale at the trade deadline, he's one of the few potent bats remaining in their lineup.

Hendricks (3-10) took the loss Monday against Minnesota, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out five.

Despite reaching double-digit losses for the third time in his 11-year career, the veteran right-hander posted his third quality start of the season in this 93-pitch outing. Hendricks handcuffed the Twins lineup and tallied five or more punchouts for the fourth time in 2024. Overall, the 34-year-old has pitched to a 6.60 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 65:27 K:BB across 91.1 innings. His next time on the mound is scheduled to be in Cleveland.

Hendricks (3-10) allowed two runs on five hits across six innings to take the loss Monday against the Twins. He walked one and struck out five.

Hendricks pitched well for the second straight start, but rookie David Festa and four Minnesota relievers shut the Cubs down in a 3-0 win. For Hendricks, the five strikeouts are his second most in an outing this year, and he's allowed only five runs across 11 innings in his last two appearances. It's a step in the right direction for the veteran, who still has a rough 6.60 ERA overall. Hendricks will look to keep building momentum in his next scheduled start, which is penciled in for next Monday against the Guardians.

Martinez (6-5) got the win Monday against the Marlins. He threw five scoreless innings, allowing four hits and striking out five.

Martinez was sharp in his first start since May 22, needing 70 pitches to get through five frames against the Marlins. Making this outing even more impressive is the fact that Martinez was working on just two days rest. The 34-year-old has now picked up a win in three of his last four outings. Martinez could be looking at a chance at another start despite pitching to a 7.36 ERA across 25.2 innings in his five other starts this season.
