Cavalli allowed two runs on four hits and a hit batsman while striking out eight and walking none over six innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

Cavalli returned to form after his last start versus Miami was cut short after four scoreless innings when he was struck on the calf by a batted ball. The right-hander has logged quality starts in 10 of his last 11 outings. Cavalli now has a 3.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 185:46 K:BB through 158.2 innings over 30 starts in a breakout campaign. He'll look to keep rolling at home versus the Angels in his next start.

Torres went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Guardians.

That's now three straight two-hit games for Torres, who accomplished the feat twice during Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland. Hao-Yu Lee (lower leg) started Saturday after leaving the second game early Friday, and his presence figures to cut into Torres' role down the stretch. However, the veteran infielder served as the DH on Saturday, and he could see more time there as a way to keep his bat in the lineup while still getting Lee valuable developmental action in the field.

Zeferjahn tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins. He walked one and struck out one.

With regular closer Jacob Webb (forearm) remaining out of action, Zeferjahn recorded his fifth save of the season and first since Aug. 2, when he was still a member of the Angels before getting traded to Chicago a day later. The righty reliever hasn't been particularly sharp with the Cubs yet, as he's recorded a 5.68 ERA across 12.2 innings with his new team. Zeferjahn still misses plenty of bats, and he should be given chances to turn things around down the stretch as a key member of Chicago's bullpen.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.

Edman went yard in the seventh inning, turning a 4-2 deficit into a 5-4 lead for the Dodgers. The utility man has hit well to begin September, going 9-for-23 (.391) over five games this month. He's now batting .273 with a .762 OPS, six homers, 32 RBI, 36 runs scored, 10 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases over 65 games. Edman has gotten the call to hit leadoff while Shohei Ohtani (knee/biceps) is out of action.

Scott allowed a run on three hits and struck out three in one inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.

Scott's shaky pitching continues -- he's allowed five runs over his last 8.1 innings, though he's still converted five of six save chances in that span. He needed 17 pitches (14 strikes) to get the job done Saturday for his 21st save of the campaign. Scott has a 2.67 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 70:12 K:BB through 57.1 innings. He's pitched three of the last four days, so he may be rested Sunday even if a save chance is available.

Conforto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins.

Conforto provided an offensive lift before getting pulled for pinch hitter Matt Shaw in the seventh inning, as he connected for his 14th home run of the season in the third. The veteran outfielder has posted a solid .821 OPS across 97 games, and he continues to see most of his playing time in matchups against right-handed pitchers, recording only seven at-bats versus lefties this year. Conforto can have some fantasy value when he's in the lineup, though his sporadic role makes him hard to rely on as a regular option.

Glasnow allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over six-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Nationals on Saturday.

Glasnow wasn't able to keep the Nationals under control, but the Dodgers' offense picked him up in the late innings. Over three starts since he returned from back spasms, Glasnow has allowed eight runs with a 21:4 K:BB across 18 innings. He's at a 3.12 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 70:17 K:BB through 57.2 innings over 10 starts this season. The veteran right-hander is projected for a road start in Miami next weekend.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 4-3 extra-inning win over the Astros on Saturday.

Marte's lone hit was a big one, as his eighth-inning solo homer tied the game 3-3. The long ball was his first since the veteran infielder was activated from the injured list Aug. 31. Marte has notched exactly one hit in each of his four contests since returning, going 4-for-14 with a 2:1 BB:K during that span. He's at a .251/.317/.449 slash line with 22 homers, 66 runs, 68 RBI and four stolen bases through 122 contests on the campaign.

Pecko completed 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Arizona on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out two batters.

Pecko held the Diamondbacks scoreless through four frames but gave up a single to two of the three batters he faced in the fifth. The right-hander was at 81 pitches at that point, so he was lifted in favor of Enyel De Los Santos, who allowed one of the inherited baserunners to score. Pecko has completed five frames in only one of his four big-league starts so far, but this was one of his better outings to date, as the one walk and one run were both career bests. If he remains in the rotation, Pecko is scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Rays.

Caminero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 extra-inning win over the Rangers.

Caminero now has three multi-hit games already in the month of September. After benefitting from hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field for home games in 2025, the All-Star third baseman has shown no ill effects from Tampa Bay moving back to pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field in 2026. He's slashing a robust .281/.365/.532 with 38 homers, 91 RBI and 87 runs scored across 620 plate appearances.
