Saggese went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs, a walk, three RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 13-8 win over the Dodgers.

Saggese secured the first multi-homer game of his career. The infielder is making the most of a decent share of playing time since rejoining the Cardinals on Friday, going 5-for-8 over three contests. Saggese is batting .226 with a .664 OPS, three homers, seven RBI, 14 runs scored, two doubles and one triple over 91 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Lewis went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 15-2 rout of the Tigers.

Lewis finished a triple shy of the cycle, with his biggest contribution coming on a three-run homer in Minnesota's 10-run sixth inning. It had been 22 contests since his last big fly, a stretch in which he held only a .282 slugging percentage. Lewis is slashing .236/.304/.407 with 14 homers, 21 doubles, one triple, 49 RBI, 48 runs and 14 steals across 104 games this season.

McGreevy (6-9) allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Mookie Betts drove in four runs on a pair of doubles off McGreevy, but the Cardinals' offense carried the right-hander. With 20 runs allowed (17 earned) over his last 27 innings, McGreevy is showing some wear and tear down the stretch, but he's managed to pick up two wins in that five-start span. Overall, he has a 3.97 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 102:40 K:BB through 147.1 innings over 27 starts. McGreevy is lined up to make his next start at Colorado.

Meckler went 3-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Yankees.

Meckler has gone 8-for-17 (.471) over five games since coming off the concussion injured list. The outfielder has returned to a steady role in the corner outfield for the Angels. He's batting .302 with a .770 OPS, three home runs, six stolen bases, 23 RBI, 32 runs scored and 11 doubles over 75 contests this season as one of the bright spots in a weak lineup.

Neto went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees.

Neto has gone 21-for-55 (.381) with eight extra-base hits and three steals over his last 13 games. It's a return to productivity for the shortstop after he endured some struggles in late July and early August. He's batting .238 with a .753 OPS, 23 home runs, 19 steals, 66 RBI, 88 runs scored, 28 doubles and four triples over 134 contests this season.

Rodriguez (4-6) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Yankees.

Rodriguez gave up back-to-back home runs to Spencer Jones and Jazz Chisholm in the first inning. After that, Rodriguez put together a decent outing, but the damage was already done. This was his first loss in four starts, a span in which he's allowed 10 runs (eight earned) over 22.2 innings. Rodriguez now has a 6.03 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 72:33 K:BB through 77.2 innings over 16 starts this year. He'll remain a risky fantasy option with a road start in Boston projected for early next week.

Bellinger went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

This was Bellinger's third multi-hit effort in a row. He's been locked in at the plate since coming back from a hamstring injury, going 12-for-40 (.300) over his last 10 games. Bellinger is hitting .263 with a .765 OPS, 12 home runs, 59 RBI, 59 runs scored, 22 doubles, three triples and 10 stolen bases over 112 contests this season.

Wells went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Wells has gone 4-for-12 with seven RBI over his last four contests. The steal is more of a rarity -- he has three thefts this year, and this one was his first since Aug. 8. The catcher is batting just .184 with a .588 OPS, 10 home runs, 26 RBI, 29 runs scored and seven doubles across 328 plate appearances.

Chisholm went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Chisholm had just two homers over 27 games in August, batting .244 during the month. He's off to a positive start in September, having already matched his total of three-hit games from last month. The second baseman is batting .232 with a .719 OPS, 19 homers, 55 RBI, 67 runs scored, 16 doubles, three triples and 40 stolen bases across 130 contests this season.

Jones went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks, a third RBI, a stolen base and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Jones has homered in back-to-back games, and he logged his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 23. The 25-year-old outfielder has homered in four of his last 13 contests. For the season, he's batting .245 with a .771 OPS, nine long balls, 28 RBI, 27 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and nine stolen bases on 11 attempts over 66 games. He's seeing a little more than a strong-side platoon role heading into the stretch run.
