Gonzales isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Gonzales will get a break Saturday after going 9-for-33 (.273) with two RBI and a run scored through his first nine games of September. Jacob Gonzalez will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Baty (knee) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Baty will miss a second consecutive start Saturday after leaving Wednesday's game with a left knee injury. Nick Morabito will pick up a start in left field and bat ninth.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Phillies.

Riley launched his seventh career home run off Aaron Nola in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old is hitting .235 over 10 September games, though he's homered twice with seven RBI in that span. For the year, he's slashing .223/.294/.369 with 17 long balls, 68 RBI, 59 runs scored and nine steals across 578 plate appearances.

Arenado went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 9-1 win over the Rangers.

Arenado's power continues to trend well -- he has homered three times over his last five games while adding five RBI in that span. The third baseman has also drawn at least one walk in four straight contests, a big improvement after he earned just seven free passes in all of August. Arenado is batting .239 with a .756 OPS, 24 homers, 70 RBI, 68 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases through 138 games this year.

Sanoja went 2-for-4 with a triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Sanoja scored both of the Marlins' runs, extending his hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the sixth inning. During that stretch, the 24-year-old is hitting .422 with two home runs, six RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base. On the season, he's slashing .294/.333/.444 with eight homers, 57 RBI, 44 runs scored and 10 steals across 431 plate appearances.

Bregman went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-2 win over the Pirates.

After a scorching-hot August in which he recorded 12 home runs and a 1.025 OPS, Bregman has kept things rolling in September with a 1.039 OPS and two long balls across 10 games. The veteran third baseman is now up to 25 home runs overall, and a hot finish to the season could give him his third 30-homer campaign of his career. Bregman has put a slow start to the year behind him and has emerged as an offensive force for the Cubs down the stretch.

Pauley went 3-for-6 with a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

Seven different Marlins hitters recorded multiple hits en route to a 20-hit, 14-run eruption from the offense, and it wasn't enough as the pitching staff coughed up 15 runs. Pauley has taken over the strong side of a platoon in September, batting .286 (6-for-21) over his last seven games with a triple, two homers, five runs and nine RBI. If he keeps producing at the plate, he could hang onto the job even when Xavier Edwards (thumb) is cleared to return and Javier Sanoja isn't needed at second base.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, four total RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 14-1 win over the Reds.

Hernandez had gone just 4-for-27 (.148) over his previous 13 games, adding no extra-base hits or RBI during the power drought. He's now up to three homers and nine RBI over 30 contests this season. Hernandez continues to fill a utility role, and he's batting .222 with a .692 OPS across 68 plate appearances.

Muncy went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 14-1 win over the Reds.

Muncy has an extra-base hit in four straight games. This was his first homer since Aug. 21 versus the Pirates, but he's breaking out of the slump he endured in late August and early September. The third baseman is batting .252 with an .845 OPS, 27 homers, 70 RBI, 74 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 134 contests this year.

Arenado went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Royals.

Arenado has homered twice over his last four games, and he has four RBI in that span. The third baseman is now batting .236 with a .742 OPS, 69 RBI, 67 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases over 137 contests. While his consistency at the plate hasn't bounced back, his 23 home runs are the most he's hit in a season since he clubbed 26 in 2023.
