Aranda went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 14-4 win over the Astros.

Aranda reached 20 homers in the fourth inning before going deep again in the seventh. The performance continued a strong September for the 28-year-old, who owns a 1.058 OPS with seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI in 11 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .278/.362/.438 with 21 long balls, 89 RBI and 71 runs scored across 630 plate appearances.

Peralta (9-11) earned the win against the Astros on Sunday, allowing no hits and three walks with four strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

Peralta was spotted an early lead and held the Astros without a hit despite throwing only 49 of 86 pitches for strikes. The 30-year-old is finding his groove at the right time, winning four straight contests while yielding just two earned runs and posting three quality starts during that stretch. He owns a 3.86 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB across 44.1 innings with Tampa Bay and lines up for a home matchup with the Red Sox next weekend.

Wesneski (5-2) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing seven runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings.

Wesneski yielded three runs in the first inning and was burned by a three-run homer following a two-out error in the third. It ends a string of strong outings for the 28-year-old, who allowed just four earned runs over his previous four turns, with two quality starts. He'll take a 3.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 48.2 innings this season into a home matchup with Atlanta next weekend.

Hill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Hill started the previous five games and will get a day off after going 1-for-19 with a double and two walks during that stretch. Drew Gilbert, Jonah Cox and Jung Hoo Lee are starting from left to right in the outfield while Scott Bandura makes his MLB debut as the designated hitter.

Sinclair earned the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Angels, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one batter in the ninth inning.

Erik Tolman was brought out for the eighth inning, so the Nationals turned to Sinclair to protect their two-run lead in the ninth. Sinclair allowed a leadoff double to Nathaniel Lowe, who came home to score two batters later, but Sinclair secured the victory for Washington after getting Zach Neto to strike out. It was the first save of Sinclair's major-league career, and through his first five big-league appearances, he has allowed one run on two hits and three walks while striking out five across 5.1 innings.

The Giants selected Bandura's contract from Triple-A Sacramento, and he's batting fifth as the designated hitter Sunday against the Padres.

The 27-year-old will get his first look in the majors after posting an .895 OPS with 13 homers and 34 steals in 131 games between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this year. Bandura fills the roster spot vacated by Rafael Devers, who was placed on the 60-day IL on Sunday due to a core muscle injury.

Lewis was removed from Sunday's game against the Guardians due to left shoulder soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Lewis went 0-for-2 before being replaced at first base for the top of the sixth inning. The severity of the injury isn't clear, so the 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Cornelio allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four across two scoreless innings as the Nationals' opener in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

Cornelio struck out two batters in each of the two frames he pitched in, keeping the Angels off the board before turning things over to Jake Irvin for the third frame. Cornelio has been the Nationals' opener in each of his last two outings, striking out eight batters over five innings in that span. The 26-year-old right-hander could see a couple more starts before the conclusion of the 2026 regular season.

Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Waldschmidt started the first two games of the series and will receive a day off for the finale while in the midst of a 1-for-19 slump. Lars Nootbaar is manning left field Sunday while Gabriel Moreno rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Young started the past five games -- including three against left-handed pitching -- but he'll take a seat Sunday while southpaw Jacob Lopez pitches for the A's. Michael Arroyo will take over at the keystone in the series finale at Sacramento.
