Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Naylor came through in the clutch, ripping a bases-clearing double with two outs in the eighth inning to put the Mariners ahead and help secure a postseason berth. Since arriving from the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, he's maintained his production, posting an .819 OPS in Seattle after logging an .807 mark in Arizona. For the season, the first baseman owns a .292/.351/.461 slash line with 28 doubles, 20 homers, 91 RBI and 28 stolen bases across 144 games.

McCann went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

Once the Diamondbacks got Los Angeles starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani out of the game after six shutout innings, McCann and company scored five times over the final three frames for the comeback win. McCann doubled in the first run and scored the third run in the seventh inning. His sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the ninth put two teammates in scoring position, and they both eventually scored for the win. McCann has been useful to Arizona's late-season push for the playoffs, going 5-for-17 with two doubles, two home runs and eight RBI over his last five games.

Waldrep (6-1) got the win over the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and four walks while striking out five in six innings.

Some control issues in the third inning led to a run for the Nationals, but Waldrep was otherwise excellent in what was the final start of his rookie season. Waldrep recorded his first quality start since Aug. 20, but he had just one outing in 10 appearances (nine starts) this season in which he allowed more than three runs. He finishes 2025 with a 2.88 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 55:22 K:BB in 56.1 innings and will certainly be a name to watch for Atlanta next spring as he competes for a spot in the rotation.

Miller did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 4-3 victory over the Rockies. He struck out four.

Miller fell one out shy of a quality start Tuesday, marking his fourth straight outing falling short of six innings, all resulting in no-decisions. After a breakout 2024 season in which he posted a 2.94 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 31 starts and 180.1 innings, the right-hander has struggled this year to a 5.53 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 17 starts and 86.1 innings around an extended stay on the injured list with elbow trouble. Given the depth of the Mariners' staff, it's fair to question what Miller's role will be in the postseason.

Acuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Acuna hit a towering home run off Brad Lord in the sixth to push Atlanta ahead 2-1. It was Acuna's second straight game with a homer and his fifth over his last 12 games. Acuna's up to 20 home runs in 91 games, though that's only led to 40 runs driven in for the season.

Harris went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Harris posted his third consecutive multi-hit performance while crushing solo home runs in the fifth and seventh innings. That's now seven hits, four extra-base hits and six RBI over his last three games. Harris has caught fire down the stretch, hitting .350 over his last 10 games, and he is now one homer away from setting a new career high with 20.

Perdomo went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

The Diamondbacks were down a run entering the bottom of the ninth inning, but contributions came from the bottom of the order and eventually Perdomo produced a walk-off win. The shortstop singled in the game-winning run, and the two-hit night extended a hit streak to 12 games, during which he's slashing .409/.536/.682 with seven extra-base hits (two HR), nine walks, two steals and seven RBI. His strong finish highlights what has been a breakout season worthy of MVP consideration. Perdomo has a 6.9 fWAR (fifth in MLB) and 6.8 bWAR (third).

Brown did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing a run on two hits and two walks over five innings in a 4-3 loss against the Mariners. He struck out 10.

Brown delivered the best outing of his young MLB career, working five innings and notching double-digit strikeouts for the first time, though he came away without a win. The right-hander entered the game with a rough line through his first five starts -- a 9.17 ERA, 2.09 WHIP and more walks (13) than strikeouts (11). The 25-year-old is lined up to make one more start in the regular-season finale Sunday against the Giants.

Witt went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-4 victory over the Angels.

Witt contributed to the hit parade with two hits base knocks, including a two-run double in the eighth inning that put the Royals' lead out of reach. The shortstop has finished the regular season strong, posting a 1.007 OPS with six extra-base hits and six RBI over his past eight games. While his 2025 numbers don't quite match his monster 2024 campaign (.977 OPS with 30 homers and 30 steals), he's still delivered an impressive .853 OPS with 44 doubles, six triples, 23 homers, 84 RBI and 37 stolen bases across 152 games.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

Garcia set the tone with a leadoff double in the first inning and later came around to score on a wild pitch, sparking what became his first three-hit performance since Aug. 10. While he's had a quieter September with a .620 OPS over 20 games, the third baseman's 2025 campaign as a whole has been a breakout. Through 155 contests, he owns an .809 OPS with 38 doubles, five triples, 16 homers, 72 RBI and 23 stolen bases, ranking second among Royals regulars in OPS behind only Bobby Witt.
