Stewart went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Athletics.

Stewart is now batting .250 over nine games in the majors, and he's added two home runs, three RBI and four runs scored. The infield prospect has settled into a timeshare with Spencer Steer at first base since he was called up when rosters expanded to 28 at the beginning of September. Stewart should continue to display high-quality contact skills as he adjusts to major-league pitching, and he'll compete for playing time at the corner-infield spots to close out 2025.

Benson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Athletics.

Benson has featured primarily in a bench role since his Aug. 17 recall, though this was his second straight start as he covered for TJ Friedl, who was the designated hitter, in center field. Benson has posted a .229/.279/.448 slash line with 11 homers, seven doubles, two triples, two stolen bases, 36 RBI and 30 runs scored over 222 plate appearances this season. It's unclear if the outfielder will be able to carve out a larger role to close out the year, though he could get the chance to if Noelvi Marte continues slumping.

Stephenson went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Athletics.

Stephenson logged his first multi-hit effort since returning from a fractured thumb. He's gone 4-for-21 (.190) since his return, though three of those hits have gone for extra bases, and he's added seven RBI in that span. For the season, the catcher is up to a .223/.309/.403 slash line with 11 homers, 43 RBI, 36 runs scored and 16 doubles over 79 contests.

Greene allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Saturday.

Greene gave up a pair of home runs in the second inning and his struggles continued in the third before the early hook. This was his shortest start of the year and his worst performance since allowing five runs over three innings April 19 versus the Orioles. He's still at a 3.01 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 116:23 K:BB through 92.2 innings over 17 starts, so this can be chalked up as a bad night, especially since four of his previous five outings were quality starts. The right-hander will try to get back on track in a home start versus the Cubs next week.

Langeliers went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, a stolen base and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Reds.

Langeliers' strong September continues -- he's 12-for-37 (.324) with five extra-base hits and two steals over nine games this month. The theft was his seventh of the year, matching his total from the previous two seasons combined. The catcher has added a steady .267/.319/.535 slash line with 30 home runs, 68 RBI, 68 runs scored and 28 doubles over 113 contests.

Butler went 2-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, three stolen bases and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Reds.

Butler's burst of speed on the basepaths secured a 20-20 season for him. Prior to Saturday, he had gone 40 games without a steal, getting caught on his two attempts in that span. He's also hit well lately, logging multiple hits in seven of his last 13 games. He's up to 20 homers, 20 steals on 27 attempts, 59 RBI, 79 runs scored and a .240/.313/.416 slash line through 141 contests this season.

Cortes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Reds.

Cortes again got the start in left field with Tyler Soderstrom (groin) still out. With three homers over his last three games, Cortes is making a strong case for additional playing time to close out the campaign. The outfielder is up to four homers, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and a .338/.351/.620 slash line over 74 plate appearances this season.

Herrera went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a double and an additional run scored during the Cardinals' 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

Herrera got things started early with a solo homer off Jacob Misiorowski in the first inning. It was Herrera's 16th home run of the season, five of which have come in 11 games since Sept. 1. Over that span, he has gone 11-for-39 (.282) with one steal, nine runs and seven RBI.

Rooker went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Reds.

Rooker had gone 11 games without a homer entering Saturday, batting just .204 (10-for-49) in that span. That was his longest power drought of the season, and it ended when he got the Athletics on the board in the second inning. The 30-year-old is up to 28 homers, 83 RBI, 89 runs scored, six stolen bases, 40 doubles, three triples and a .269/.340/.491 slash line over 149 contests this season. With two weeks left in the season, he has a reasonable chance of reaching the 30-homer mark for the third year in a row.

Saggese went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored during the Cardinals' 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

Saturday marked Saggese's fourth game this season with at least three hits, two of which have come over his last three games. Saggese has started at shortstop in four consecutive games and will be the starter moving forward after Masyn Winn (knee) was shut down for the rest of the season. Saggese has gone 11-for-39 (.282) with four RBI, three doubles and a steal since Sept. 1.
