  • Cole Carrigg CF | COL

    Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Muscles up in win

    Carrigg went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Padres.

    Carrigg had a two-run blast in the third inning and boosted the Rockies' lead with a three-run homer in the sixth. The rookie is up to 10 homers on the season, including four over 13 contests in September. He's batting .270 with an .812 OPS, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored, 21 doubles, four triples and nine stolen bases through 82 games this season.

  • Turner Hill LF | SF

    Giants' Turner Hill: Blasts first career homer

    Hill went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, three RBI and a walk during Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Cardinals.

    Hill belted his first career home run in the ninth inning off Cade Winquest to extend the Giants' lead. The 27-year-old also contributed an RBI single and an RBI groundout earlier in the game. Hill is now slashing .250/.351/.363 with one homer and 15 RBI over 97 plate appearances this season.

  • Daylen Lile LF | WAS

    Nationals' Daylen Lile: Smacks go-ahead homer as pinch hitter

    Lile went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run during the Nationals' 6-3 win over the Phillies on Tuesday.

    Lile pinch hit for Dylan Crews in the seventh inning, and the former answered the call by taking Jonathan Bowlan deep to center field for a 407-foot, three-run homer to give the Nationals the lead for good. Lile is up to 21 home runs on the season (fourth-most on the Nationals), along with a .740 OPS and 85 RBI across 615 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Dustin Harris: Sitting against lefty

    Harris is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against Colorado.

    Despite riding a modest four-game hitting streak, Harris will rest as the Rockies send southpaw Kyle Freeland to toe the slab Tuesday. Samad Taylor will man left field and bat eighth for San Diego.

  • Tommy Troy LF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Dispatched to Reno

    The Diamondbacks optioned Troy to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

    Troy went just 1-for-8 with a run scored and three strikeouts in six games after coming off the injured list Sept. 6 and will now move back to the minors to make room for Jesus Sanchez, who was claimed off waivers from Toronto. Barring an injury to one of Arizona's position players, Troy is likely to play out the rest of the season at Reno.

  • James Wood RF | WAS

    Nationals' James Wood: Taking seat Tuesday

    Wood is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

    After spending a month on the IL due to an oblique injury, Wood returned on Sept. 2 and started the past 10 contests. He's gone 11-for-37 (.297 average) with three doubles, four steals, two RBI and two runs since being activated, but he has seen his home-run drought extend to 18 games. Andres Chaparro is batting second as the designated hitter Tuesday for Washington.

  • Joshua Baez LF | STL

    Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Absent from St. Louis lineup

    Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    Baez has been getting extra days off lately, as this is the third time he's been absent from the lineup over the Cardinals' last seven contests. It's possible the club wants to ensure he retains rookie eligibility in 2027, and in order to do that, Baez must remain under 130 at-bats (he's currently at 96). Bryan Torres will play left field for St. Louis on Tuesday.

  • Jose Fermin LF | STL

    Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Back in action Tuesday

    Fermin (undisclosed) will start at third base and bat ninth in Tuesday's contest versus the Giants.

    Fermin was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the White Sox with an undisclosed injury, and he did not see any action during Monday's series opener versus the Giants. However, the 27-year-old feels well enough to give it a go Tuesday as the Cardinals look to take the series.

  • Blake Dunn CF | CIN

    Reds' Blake Dunn: Needs another elbow surgery

    Dunn will have ulnar nerve transposition surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

    Dunn was already out for the season following internal brace surgery in August, and he's now set to undergo an additional operation on his elbow. The first surgery left Dunn a question mark for Opening Day next year, and it's possible Wednesday's procedure lengthens his timeline.

  • Sal Frelick RF | MIL

    Brewers' Sal Frelick: Sitting out versus righty

    Frelick is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Pirates.

    After starting four straight games versus righties, Frelick will sit out for the second time in a row against a right-hander Tuesday. Luis Lara will get the call again in right field for the Brewers.
