Baldwin went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 11-3 victory over the Nationals.

The rookie backstop notched his third career performance with four or more RBI, upping his season total to 68. Baldwin topped Atlanta's scoring with a 378-foot, two-run shot off reliever Orlando Ribalta in the ninth. The 24-year-old is now slashing .268/.337/.439 with 16 homers across 395 total plate appearances.

Olson went 4-for-5 with a homer, two doubles, four RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 11-3 win at Washington.

The Atlanta first baseman produced his second four-RBI performance of the season while posting three extra-base hits in a contest for the first time in 2025. Olson gave his squad a 5-1 lead with a three-run blast in the fifth off Nationals starter Mitchell Parker. The three-time All-Star has been on fire in September, batting .378 (17-for-45) with five round trippers, 11 runs scored and 10 RBI across 13 games.

Parker (8-16) suffered the loss Monday against Atlanta, coughing up six runs on 10 hits and one walk over five innings with one strikeout.

The Washington southpaw turned in his third appearance allowing double-digit hits this season while conceding six or more runs for the sixth time. Parker's tough campaign has been downright brutal since the All-Star break, as he's produced a 7.19 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 35:17 K:BB across 56.1 innings in the second half. Through 158.1 total frames, the 25-year-old now sports an unsightly 5.85 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 5.7 K/9. Parker is currently scheduled to next take the mound on the road against the Mets this weekend.

Strider (6-13) earned the win Monday at Washington, yielding one run on four hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out six.

The Atlanta right-hander looked sharp in this 96-pitch outing, generating a solid 15 whiffs. Strider notched his first win since July 27 and pocketed his second consecutive quality start. The only blemish on his line was a solo homer conceded to Daylen Lile in the second. In 114.1 total innings, Strider has pitched to a 4.64 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 120:46 K:BB. He will look to continue his recent success in his next matchup, which currently lines up to come at Detroit this weekend.

Hurter was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

Hurter missed time at the end of August due to a back injury, but he's since returned to health and will now get a chance to help the major-league team down the stretch of the regular season. He's performed well in his last 10 appearances for Detroit, posting a 1.20 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 16 strikeouts over 15.0 innings.

Waites (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

Waites made his first appearance since July 17 after missing time on the injured list, tossing a scoreless frame while allowing one hit and one walk Friday against Triple-A Oklahoma City. He'll aim to build some momentum down the stretch after missing all of 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery and now most of 2025 with an undisclosed issue.

Alvarez left Monday's game against Texas with a left ankle sprain, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Alvarez suffered the injury while crossing home plate and was unable to continue. The club has yet to comment on whether he'll require a trip to the injured list, though more information on his availability moving forward should come to light over the next day or so.

Sosa (groin) will complete a workout Monday with the hope of returning to the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Sosa has remained sidelined since Friday due to groin soreness, but he's on the brink of a return. The team will have a better idea on whether he'll be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup once Sosa completes his Monday workout.

Alvarez left Monday's game against the Rangers after appearing to suffer a left leg injury while running the bases, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Alvarez blew through a stop sign at third base and ended up scoring, but he looked to tweak his left leg while stepping on home plate and struggled to make it off the field under his own power. He was officially removed from the matchup in the top of the second inning. Alvarez will be considered day-to-day until the team has more information on the severity of his injury. The Astros deployed Zach Cole in right field and bumped Jesus Sanchez to left as a result.

Bohm (shoulder) traveled with the team to Los Angeles with the hope of returning after a minimum stay on the 10-day injured list, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Bohm landed on the 10-day injured list Sept. 8 due to a cyst in his left shoulder, but it appears he's still on track for a minimum stay. If all goes according to plan during the week, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Bohm back in the lineup for Friday's matchup in Arizona.
