Hernandez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 13-7 win over the Giants.

Hernandez had an RBI double in the third inning to get the Dodgers back within a run, and he put them ahead with a two-run double in the fifth inning that sparked a six-run frame. Over his last four games, he's gone 7-for-18 (.389) with five extra-base hits and six RBI. The outfielder looks to be back in a groove after a lackluster July and August. He's slashing .245/.281/.458 on the year while adding 24 home runs, 84 RBI, 59 runs scored, 27 doubles and five stolen bases across 122 contests.

Ohtani went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and three total runs scored in Saturday's 13-7 win over the Giants.

Ohtani's blast was the start of the Dodgers' turnaround, and it was a big one, going 454 feet to center field. The superstar has four homers over 11 games in September and is up to 49 on the year, putting him on the verge of his second straight 50-homer campaign. Ohtani has added his usual excellence all around with a .282/.395/.612 slash line, 93 RBI, 134 runs scored, 18 stolen bases, 21 doubles and eight triples through 145 games as a batter this season.

Contreras went 2-for-3 with three RBI during the Brewers' 9-8 extra-inning win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

Contreras played a key role in the Brewers' comeback victory Saturday, when he smacked a sacrifice fly in the sixth and eighth innings before tying the game at 7-7 in the ninth on an infield single that brought Sal Frelick home. It was Contreras' fourth game this season that he recorded at least three RBI, all of which have come since Aug. 10. He has gone 12-for-37 (.324) with five RBI and seven runs scored since Sept. 1.

Uribe (3-2) came away with the win in Saturday's extra-inning game against the Cardinals, allowing one unearned run on a walk and a hit-by-pitch in one inning. He did not record a strikeout.

Uribe was brought in for the 10th to keep the game tied at 7-7, but he proceeded to load the bases after hitting Victor Scott with a pitch and walking Brendan Donovan. Uribe was able to limit the damage to one run after Ivan Herrera grounded out into a double play to bring home Jordan Walker, and the right-hander was credited with the win after the Brewers scored two runs in the bottom of the frame. Uribe has yielded just four runs (two earned) across his last 23 innings since the All-Star break and sports a 1.82 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 69.1 innings this season. He should continue to operate as Milwaukee's primary closer until Trevor Megill (elbow) can return from the IL.

Kershaw allowed four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two over three innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Saturday.

Kershaw gave up all four runs in the first inning and was shaky in the second before a sharp third. He was pulled at 67 pitches (39 strikes), though low pitch counts haven't been unusual for the veteran lefty this year. He's now at a 3.53 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 71:30 K:BB through 102 innings across 20 starts this season. Kershaw will aim to get back on track at home in a rematch with the Giants next week.

Encarnacion went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 13-7 loss to the Dodgers.

Encarnacion returned to action Saturday after he missed more than a month due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain. He previously missed nearly two months due to an oblique injury, but it's a positive that he was able to be involved in run production in his return to big-league action. He's batting .176 with two home runs, four RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base over 11 games in the majors this season.

Webb (14-10) allowed six runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out five over four-plus innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

Webb matched his shortest start and highest number of runs allowed this season in this poor outing, ending a stretch of five games without a loss. The right-hander is now at a 3.34 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 206:43 K:BB through 188.2 innings across 31 starts. The Giants are in a wild-card race that could go down to the wire, so there shouldn't be any talk of Webb's season ending early as long as he stays healthy. He's tentatively projected to make his next start in a road rematch with the Dodgers next week.

Mayo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Blue Jays.

Mayo produced what at the time seemed like a big insurance run for Baltimore when he clubbed a 403-foot solo shot in the top of the ninth inning. That tally ultimately proved to be inadequate, however, as Toronto rallied for three runs in the bottom frame for a walk-off win. Mayo nonetheless had a promising performance, as he logged his first two-hit game since Aug. 6. In the 28 contests between such efforts, he batted a meager .141 with a 38.9 percent strikeout rate.

Cano (3-7) took the loss and blew a save opportunity against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits while recording just one out.

With Baltimore up 4-2 in the ninth inning, Keegan Akin got the first stab at notching a save. He gave up two one-out singles and was subsequently relieved by Cano, who quickly gave up a pair of singles that plated a pair of runs to tie the score. The only out Cano recorded came on a sacrifice fly by Alejandro Kirk that brought home the winning run for Toronto. Cano came into Saturday having allowed just one run over his previous eight appearances, but he's now blown five of his seven save chances on the campaign.

Ward went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

Ward had been in his longest power drought of the year -- he entered Saturday 16 games removed from his last homer. He connected in the ninth inning off Matt Brash, but it didn't spark a rally for the Angels. The outfielder is batting a paltry .179 (7-for-39) over 11 games in September. He's now at a .224/.315/.462 slash line with 31 homers, 98 RBI, 81 runs scored, four stolen bases, 31 doubles and two triples across 145 games in 2025. Despite the recent slump, he's still on the cusp of his first 100-RBI campaign.
