    Dodgers' Chris Taylor: Three hits, stolen base in win

    Taylor went 3-for-3 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Rockies.

    Taylor didn't enter the game until the bottom of the fifth inning but wasted no time in making his presence felt, reaching on an infield single in his first at-bat before going on to steal second. He added two more singles while also driving in and scoring a run for the second straight game. Taylor has posted multiple hits in back-to-back contests and is now batting .325 (13-for-40) in September with six RBI and eight runs scored. The stolen base was his fifth on the season, and he's also swiped a bag in two straight.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Picks up four-inning save

    Wrobleski picked up the save over the Rockies on Saturday, allowing two hits and two walks over four scoreless innings while striking out four.

    Wrobleski relieved Yoshinobu Yamamoto to open the sixth inning and went 1-2-3 through the top of Colorado's lineup before allowing each of the first two men to reach in the seventh. However, the southpaw was able to work his way out of the jam without taking any damage and managed to close out the contest for Los Angeles to pick up his first save of the campaign. It was a strong effort for Wrobleski, who was just recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier that day, as he was able to eat up innings and help to provide additional rest for the Dodgers' bullpen ahead of the playoffs.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Roughed up in loss

    Senzatela (0-1) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on six hits and four walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

    Senzatela managed to get through the first inning unscathed before being charged with at least one run in each of the next four frames. The six earned runs allowed marked a season high for Senzatela, who's failed to make it through five innings in two of his three starts on the campaign. He also issued a season-high four walks Saturday and he's now given up multiple free passes in all three of his outings in 2024.

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Homers in two straight

    Gonzales went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Yankees.

    Gonzales took Luis Gil yard to record a home run in his second consecutive game, his only two long balls since returning from the injured list Aug. 26. He's still had an impressive close to the regular season, maintaining a .308 batting average with 10 RBI and 13 runs scored to go along with a 14.8 percent strikeout rate in his last 28 appearances. While not a prolific power hitter, Gonzales should be locked into a starting role for the Pirates in 2025.

  • Pirates' Mike Burrows: Earns first win

    Burrows (1-0) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out two to earn the win Saturday against the Yankees.

    Burrows followed Paul Skenes into the game to make his major-league debut. Despite his final line, he began 11 of the 14 batters he faced with a strike and managed to throw 60 percent of his pitches over the plate. Most importantly, he has proved healthy and capable of handling a normal workload across the second half of the season after returning from Tommy John surgery. That should put him in a position to compete for a rotation spot in 2025.

  • Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Earns seventh win

    Yamamoto (7-2) picked up the win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits over five innings while striking out six.

    Yamamoto got knocked around a bit early on, giving up singles to three of the first five men he faced before also surrendering a solo homer to Ezequiel Tovar in the bottom of the third. The right-hander did, however, manage to retire seven consecutive batters from that point on before being relieved by Justin Wrobleski to open the sixth. It marked Yamamoto's longest outing since June 7, while he didn't issue a free pass for the first time in his last three starts. He now carries a 3.38 ERA in September to go along with a robust 21:5 K:BB.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Logs one hit in loss

    Marte went 1-for-3 and was caught stealing in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Cubs.

    Marte logged one of three hits for the Reds, whose bats have gone very quiet over the final week of the season with a league-low .137 batting average. Cincinnati's lost five straight, including three shutouts, and been outscored 17-3. Marte is doing his best to put a disappointing season behind him, which began with an 80-game suspension due to a PED violation. He's gone 13-for-48 (.271) with four walks, four RBI and three steals over the last 14 games.

  • Paul Sewald RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Paul Sewald: Throws to hitters Saturday

    Sewald (neck) threw an 18-pitch live batting practice session Saturday, MLB.com reports.

    Sewald followed up a 23-pitch bullpen session Tuesday with Saturday's effort at Chase Field. The reliever could be an option during the postseason, if Arizona qualifies.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Steals base in loss

    Perdomo went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Padres.

    Perdomo stole second base with one out in the third inning but the Diamondbacks were unable to advance him. It was the ninth steal of the season and the first in 17 games for Perdomo. Arizona faces a must-win scenario Sunday to give it a chance at the postseason, so manager Torey Lovullo will want his best, likely including Perdomo, in the lineup.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Reaches four times in return

    Suzuki (ankle) went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

    Suzuki missed the last two games due to a sprained ankle he sustained during Tuesday's contest, but he looked fully healthy Saturday. The outfielder has had another productive season, and he's set new career highs with 21 home runs and 16 stolen bases. Suzuki needs one more run and RBI in the last game of the year to match his career bests in those categories as well. His current .850 OPS would also be a new career high.
