Suzuki went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Reds.

Suzuki was 0-for-4 with a strikeout until his final at-bat of the game in the eighth inning, when he crushed his 25th home run of the season. It was the talented outfielder's first long ball this month, and his overall total is the second highest of his MLB career, trailing only the 32 homers he hit in 151 regular-season games last year. Suzuki missed a little time to begin 2026 due to a right knee sprain suffered in the World Baseball Classic, but it's been another strong offensive campaign for the 32-year-old slugger.

Tucker (knee/shin) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Giants, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports.

After fouling a ball off his right leg Saturday, Tucker will sit out Sunday's series finale. Teoscar Hernandez will shift over to right field and bat third for the Dodgers.

Lee went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Lee singled in the third inning and hit an RBI double in the fifth, tying the game at 4-4. He recorded his second multi-hit effort in September, batting .177 on the month with eight RBI, four runs scored and a home run in 65 plate appearances. On the year, the 28-year-old is slashing .276/.318/.404 with 65 runs scored, 57 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 10 long balls across 576 plate appearances.

Cincinnati designated Friedl for assignment Sunday.

After being sent down to Louisville on Saturday, the Reds have jettisoned Friedl. In 91 games with the Reds this season, the 30-year-old slashed just .172/.255/.255 with four homers and 13 RBI in 272 plate appearances. Cincinnati selected the contract of Carson Spiers to take over Friedl's spot on the active and 40-man rosters.

Carroll batted fifth and went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Yankees.

Carroll tied the game at 3-3 in the sixth inning with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. One game after he was slotted in as the seventh batter, manager Torey Lovullo moved the outfielder back up to fifth in the order. A recent slump prompted the manager to drop Carroll from the upper third of the order to fifth and then a one-day sentence to seventh. He's batting .192 with a .637 OPS during September.

Simon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

Simon opened the scoring with his first career major-league home run in the second inning. The 26-year-old has been solid in a small sample this season, hitting .313 with four extra-base hits, four RBI, nine runs scored and seven steals across just 52 plate appearances with the Pirates.

Marsee went 3-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Marsee has gone 9-for-17 over five games during the Marlins' current road trip. The outfielder is now batting .232 with a .710 OPS, 11 home runs, 23 stolen bases, 39 RBI, 80 runs scored, 19 doubles and six triples through 149 contests. Marsee maintains strong plate discipline, but his batted-ball luck has faltered over a larger sample in 2026 -- he has a .285 BABIP this year compared to a .357 mark in 55 games in 2025.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Hernandez has gone 10-for-30 (.333) during his seven-game hitting streak. The steal was his first since Sept. 6 against the Cubs. The outfielder is now batting .230 with a .760 OPS, 24 home runs, 12 steals, 64 RBI, 47 runs scored, 16 doubles and a triple over 123 contests this season. He is seeing the bulk of the playing time in left field.

Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and three stolen bases in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Ruiz made the most of his time on base, but he wasn't able to cross the plate. The speedy outfielder continues to work in a part-time role. He has gone 22 contests without a multi-hit effort, collecting four steals on six attempts in that span. For the season, Ruiz is batting .223 with a .725 OPS, six home runs, 16 RBI, 36 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and 33 steals over 235 plate appearances.

Conine went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Conine took Mason Miller deep in the ninth inning to force an extra inning. In September, Conine has gone 16-for-59 (.271) with five extra-base hits, eight RBI and 11 runs in 17 contests. The 29-year-old is now batting .256 with an .835 OPS, 17 homers, 39 RBI, 42 runs scored, eight doubles and four stolen bases over 296 plate appearances this season.
