  • Giants' Spencer Bivens: Records win Sunday

    Bivens (4-3) picked up the win in Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Dodgers, throwing a scoreless inning.

    Bivens entered the game with a runner on second in the seventh inning and retired the first batter he faced before inducing a double play. He threw five of his eight pitches for strikes. The right-hander has made six appearances this month, allowing three earned runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out six and hitting one across 8.2 innings. Overall, he owns a 4.04 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 57:24 K:BB in 78 innings over 51 outings this season.

  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Slugs long ball Sunday

    Tatis went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.

    Tatis produced the Padres' only extra-base hit in the contest with his 432-foot solo shot in the third inning. The talented right fielder has been hot of late, collecting five multi-hit efforts over his past eight contests and batting .406 (13-for-32) with two homers, three RBI, 11 runs and three stolen bases over that span. Tatis has posted a fine .805 OPS through 681 appearances in what has been a promisingly healthy campaign, adding 23 homers and 66 RBI while establishing new career highs with 108 runs and 32 stolen bases.

  • Giants' Christian Koss: Doubles in victory

    Koss started at second and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Koss singled in the eighth inning before coming around to score the game-tying run. He also added a double in the ninth, marking his second multi-hit performance over nine appearances this month. Overall, he's slashing .267/.305/.376 with 22 RBI, 22 runs scored, nine doubles, three long balls and three stolen bases across 180 plate appearances in 72 games this season.

  • Dylan Crews RF | WAS

    Nationals' Dylan Crews: Pilfers 17th bag

    Crews went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Mets.

    The 23-year-old outfielder extended a modest hitting streak to six games as he attempts to close a tough second season in the majors on a high note. Crews sports a .258/.313/.403 slash line through 19 games in September, a step up from his .215/.287/.356 line on the year, and during the final month he's supplied two of his nine homers and three of his 17 steals.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Steals win with legs and glove

    Young went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Mets.

    The steal was his 15th of the season, but where Young really shined was on defense, as he made two incredible defensive plays in center field to rob New York hitters of extra bases, including a leaping catch at the wall in the ninth inning as the Nats clung to a 3-2 lead. He's split time in center with Robert Hassell down the stretch, and through 11 games in September, Young is batting .292 (7-for-24) with two steals, three runs and four RBI.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Finishing year on bench

    Mauricio has just six plate appearances in September, going 1-for-5 with a single and a walk.

    The 24-year-old infielder disappeared from the second base/third base mix down the stretch, while Brett Baty and Mark Vientos took on near-everyday roles. Per Tim Britton of The Athletic, Mauricio remained on the big-league roster rather than being swapped out for a player that manager Carlos Mendoza might have been more willing to use to preserve his final minor-league option for 2026 -- had he spent three more days on a minor-league roster, the option would have been burned. Through 58 games this year for the Mets, Mauricio is slashing .231/.293/.381 with six homers and four steals, but he still appears to be part of the organization's long-term plans.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Three hits against Texas

    Lopez went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

    The steal was his 15th of the season, and he's reached the 15-15 plateau for the first time in his career. Lopez is having a strong finish to a breakout campaign, and over his last 22 games he's slashing .300/.316/.467 with four homers, three stolen bases, 11 runs and 18 RBI.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swipes two bags Sunday

    Edwards went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

    The infielder nearly manufactured a run single-handedly in the fourth inning, swiping second and third after a leadoff single before coming home on Otto Lopez's one-out double. Surprisingly, the steals were Edwards' first in September, as he'd gone 15 straight games without even attempting one. On the month, he's slashing a tepid .239/.300/.304 with six runs, six RBI and a homer as his lone extra-base hit.

  • Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL

    Braves' Ha-Seong Kim: Extends hit streak with fifth homer

    Kim went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

    The shortstop took Casey Mize deep in the fourth inning for a solo shot, extending his hit streak to nine games in the process. During that stretch, Kim is batting .394 (13-for-33) with two of his five homers on the season, along with eight RBI and 10 runs. It's been a tough, injury-plagued campaign for Kim, but a strong finish to 2025 could make it more likely he declines his $16 million player option for 2026 and hits the open market this winter in search of a long-term contract.

  • Marlins' Valente Bellozo: Moves past triceps injury

    Bellozo (triceps) retired two of the six batters he faced and was charged with four earned runs on four hits in a relief appearance in Thursday's 9-7 win over the Rockies.

    Though Bellozo was knocked around for four extra-base hits (two home runs, two doubles) in the relief outing, he's at least seemingly healthy again after he had been forced out of his previous appearance Sept. 9 against the Nationals due to right triceps tightness. The right-hander is likely to continue serving in a low-leverage relief role for Miami during the final week of the season.
