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.

Taylor went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a second RBI in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

Taylor was denied a fourth straight multi-hit effort, but he has still hit safely in eight of his last nine contests. The homer was just his second of the season -- he continues to provide more speed than power. Taylor is batting .328 with an .830 OPS, 17 RBI, 25 runs scored, three doubles, two triples and 10 stolen bases over 41 games.

Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

Tatis has gotten on base in 14 straight games, going 18-for-56 (.321) with five homers, five steals and 10 RBI in that span. The star outfielder is up to 24 long balls on the year, just one shy of matching his regular-season total from last year. He's batting .285 with an .819 OPS, 80 RBI, 93 runs scored, 36 steals, 30 doubles and three triples through 153 contests while providing steady production out of the leadoff spot.

Tucker was removed from Saturday's game against the Giants after fouling a pitch off his right knee/shin, but manager Dave Roberts said the lopsided score played into that decision, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Alex Call replaced Tucker in right field in the seventh inning with the Dodgers leading 10-4. Roberts downplayed the issue, saying that he expects Tucker to be in the lineup Sunday. However, the skipper added the caveat that the team will wait and see how Tucker feels in the morning before deciding on his availability.

Hill went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Hill has gone 5-for-20 (.250) with a homer and three RBI over the first five games of the Giants' last road trip of the year. The outfielder has struggled to adjust in his first taste of the majors, batting .239 with a .673 OPS across 29 contests. He's added a home run, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored, six doubles and two steals through 110 plate appearances.

Bericoto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Dodgers.

This was Bericoto's second game and first start back in the lineup after a nearly month-long absence due to a knee injury. The outfielder served as the designated hitter and got both of his hits off Tarik Skubal. Bericoto is batting .253 with a .731 OPS, five homers, 14 RBI, nine runs scored, four doubles and one stolen base over 35 games in the majors. He'll compete for a short-side platoon role to close out the campaign.

Acuna went 2-for-3 with a grand slam and two walks Saturday in a 6-3 win over the Astros.

Acuna delivered a clutch go-ahead blast in the seventh inning for his fourth career grand slam. The star outfielder has been sizzling at the dish in the month of September, hitting .343 with seven homers, five doubles and 19 RBI over 70 at-bats. Through 450 plate appearances this year, Acuna is slashing a healthy .259/.351/.464 with 20 long balls, 55 RBI, 20 stolen bases and 60 runs scored.

Benge went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Phillies.

The 23-year-old outfielder put his name in the franchise record book with the performance, as Benge now has 156 hits on the year -- topping the 155 knocks recorded by Pete Alonso in 2019 for the most ever in a season by a Mets rookie. Benge has cooled off a bit in September, and over 17 games this month he's batting .269 (18-for-67) with three of his 19 homers, and three of his 22 steals.

Conine is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Conine will get what looks like a rest day as Miami goes with Esteury Ruiz in right field, Kyle Stowers at first base and Agustin Ramirez at DH against right-hander Casey Mize. Conine's .820 OPS this season is tops on the Marlins, while his 16 homers rank third on the team.
