Adell went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Twins.

Adell hit a solo home run in the third inning and then doubled home a run in the ninth. The homer was his 21st of the season and snapped a 19-game drought. Since coming over from the Angels at the trade deadline, Adell has a .239/.316/.418 slash line with five home runs, nine doubles, 26 RBI and one steal over 36 contests.

Brito started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Brito covered second base for a second consecutive game as Matt McLain (shoulder) was unavailable after being scratched from Saturday's lineup. McLain's injury is not considered serious at this point, but it is to the left shoulder -- the same one he had surgery on previously. Brito is most likely to fill in at second base for as long as needed and he has made one start each at shortstop and third base since being called up earlier this month.

Jung went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over Arizona.

Jung singled home a run during the Rangers' three-run fifth inning to increase their lead. This was his second game back from a calf injury, and Jung posted a second consecutive two-hit game with an RBI and a run scored. After a promising first half in which he posted an .819 OPS, Jung has been limited to just seven games since the All-Star break.

Moreno went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Texas.

Moreno swatted his solo shot in the fourth inning to pull the Diamondbacks within a run. It was his 13th of the season to go along with 73 RBI. He served as the designated hitter Sunday, as manager Torey Lovullo seeks to keep Moreno's bat in the lineup during the postseason push. Sunday marked Moreno's 23rd start at DH.

Koss went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and two steals in Sunday's 6-4 loss against San Diego.

Koss collected a pair of singles, swiping second and third base after his knock to lead off the fifth inning. The 28-year-old has seen regular playing time at shortstop with Willy Adames (elbow) sidelined and has taken advantage of the opportunity, slashing .359/.419/.590 with three homers, six RBI, 13 runs and three stolen bases over his past 12 games. His season-long numbers are much more pedestrian, as Koss is hitting .235/.283/.340 with four homers, 10 RBI, 25 runs and five stolen bases in 59 total contests.

Machado went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-4 victory over San Francisco.

Machado sent a hanging sweeper over the left-field wall for a two-run homer in the second inning. The homer broke an 0-for-13 stretch across his previous three games, as it's been a very hot-and-cold 2026 campaign for the veteran third baseman. Overall, he's hitting .221/.311/.413 with 27 homers, 82 RBI, 77 runs and five stolen bases in 145 contests.

Tatis went 3-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

Tatis was an active contributor in the win, picking up a trio of singles, including a pair of RBI knocks, while adding a steal in the fourth frame. The 27-year-old has mashed in September, slashing .395/.469/.721 with four homers, eight RBI, 10 runs and four stolen bases across 11 games this month. After a slow start to the season, Tatis has turned things around and is hitting .289/.358/.459 with 21 homers, 75 RBI, 87 runs and 35 stolen bases in 147 total contests.

Matsui picked up the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over San Francisco. He allowed a hit and no walks while striking out one over a scoreless inning.

Entering with a two-run cushion, Matsui worked a scoreless ninth inning to secure his first save of the season and a sweep for San Diego. The southpaw has quietly put together a quality campaign with a 1.98 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 63:32 K:BB in 59 innings, though the closer role remains firmly in the hands of Mason Miller, who was presumably unavailable after pitching in both of the previous two games.

Pivetta did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks over four innings against the Giants. He struck out five.

Pivetta was mostly solid, with his lone blemish being a two-run homer surrendered to Andrew Knizner in the second inning. Making just his second start back from a right flexor strain dating back to mid-April, the right-hander was lifted at 69 pitches (46 strikes) and fell short of qualifying for the win. In 25 innings (six starts), the 33-year-old owns a 2-2 record with a 3.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 31:6 K:BB. Pivetta is tentatively scheduled to pitch Friday against the Marlins.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Rangers.

Arenado did his part offensively in trying to spark a comeback, lifting a three-run homer off the left-field foul pole in the seventh inning. The veteran third baseman has now gone yard in four of his past seven outings. Across 140 games, he's hitting .240/.319/.446 with 25 homers, 73 RBI, 70 runs and four stolen bases this season.
