Acuna went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 10-1 win over the Tigers.

The star outfielder took Charlie Morton deep in the second inning as Atlanta jumped out to a 6-0 lead. Acuna's bat has come alive as the season comes to a close, and over his last 10 games he's slashing .368/.467/.632 with three of his 18 homers on the season, along with one steal, four RBI and nine runs.

Ramos went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Ramos went deep on Clayton Kershaw's third pitch of the game. It's been a fairly unremarkable September for Ramos -- he has two homers and four RBI while batting a meager .169 (11-for-65) over 16 games this month. The slump has him down to a .257/.331/.394 slash line with 18 homers, 62 RBI, 80 runs scored and six stolen bases through 149 contests overall.

Pages went 3-for-3 with two doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

Pages has gone 15-for-32 (.469) with a home run and five doubles over his last nine games. The outfielder was able to provide an insurance run with an RBI double in the sixth inning. For the season, he's up to a .281 average and .791 OPS, both of which are his highest marks since the end of July. He's added 25 homers, 27 doubles, 14 stolen bases, 82 RBI and 72 runs scored through 148 contests.

Marsh went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Friday's 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Marsh's steal was his sixth of the season and his first since June 30 versus the Padres. The outfielder has done his part at getting on base in September, batting .388 (19-for-49) over 13 games this month, and he's racked up nine extra-base hits, 12 RBI and 15 runs scored in that span. For the season, he's maintained a .283/.345/.450 slash line with 11 home runs, 42 RBI and 59 runs across 403 plate appearances.

Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

The homer was Castellanos' first in over a month -- his last homer was Aug. 17 versus the Nationals. The outfielder has gone 17-for-64 (.266) over his last 20 games while occupying a short-side platoon role for much of that time. He's now at 17 homers, 69 RBI, 71 runs scored, four stolen bases and a .255/.299/.411 slash line across 140 contests.

Bader went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Bader's bat has cooled a bit after his surge last week, but he's still gone 21-for-51 (.412) over his last 11 games, a span that includes a quartet of three-hit efforts. The outfielder tied the game at 2-2 with his fifth-inning blast Friday. For the season, he's set career highs with a .287/.358/.471 slash line, 17 homers and 54 RBI across 138 games while adding 58 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.

He's hit safely in seven straight games, going 8-for-26 (.308) with eight RBI in that span. The outfielder is at a .295/.361/.417 slash line, 12 homers, 62 RBI, 75 runs scored and 19 stolen bases across 135 contests this year.

Soto went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 12-6 win over the Nationals.

Soto was a thorn in the Nationals' side all game. He smashed a three-run blast in the fourth inning that doubled the Mets' lead and pushed him to a career-high 42 homers. In 56 games since the All-Star break, the 26-year-old has gone deep 19 times while swiping 23 bases. For the season, he's slashing .265/.397/.534 with the aforementioned 42 long balls, 103 RBI, 117 runs scored and 34 steals across 678 plate appearances.

Freeman went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Angels.

Freeman is heating up at the plate -- he now has at least one hit in six of his last seven games. The utility man got off to a fast start this season, turning in an .878 OPS through July 9, but his production has tapered off considerably ever since. Over his last 58 games (250 plate appearances), Freeman is slashing .244/.310/.307 with 11 extra-base hits, 18 RBI and six stolen bases to drop his OPS to .723 for the year.

Lee is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

Lee is out of the starting nine for the second time in three games, giving way to Drew Gilbert in center field Friday against Clayton Kershaw. Lee is hitless in his last 20 at-bats.
