Marsh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Dodgers.

Marsh put the Phillies ahead with a sixth-inning homer. He's been fairly steady at the plate lately, going 23-for-59 (.390) with four homers and 14 RBI over his last 16 games. For the season, the veteran outfielder is up to a .281/.342/.449 slash line with 11 homers, 42 RBI, 56 runs scored, five stolen bases, 23 doubles and two triples across 125 contests.

Carroll went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

All three of Carroll's hits were singles. He drove in a run in the fifth inning, and he completing Arizona's comeback by coming around to score after a leadoff knock in the ninth. The star outfielder has gone 13-for-50 (.260) with four extra-base hits, seven stolen bases, six RBI and 11 runs scored over 14 contests in September. For the season, Carroll has maintained a .258/.339/.542 slash line with 30 home runs, 28 steals, 77 RBI, 103 runs scored, 30 doubles and 16 triples through 135 games.

Moniak went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Marlins.

Moniak has gone 9-for-19 with three homers and eight RBI over his last five games. The outfielder kept the Rockies from getting shut out in this contest with his eighth-inning blast, and he also hit a single that produced Colorado's fifth run thanks to a Miami error, though the comeback stalled out there. Moniak is up to 22 homers, 65 RBI, 57 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a .270/.307/.515 slash line through 127 contests.

Merrill went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Tuesday's loss to the Mets.

Merrill continued his hot streak with a solo shot in the second inning Tuesday. It was his third straight game with a home run and fifth over his last nine contests, giving him 14 on the year. It's been a disappointing sophomore campaign for Merrill, who posted a .579 OPS from May 13 through the end of July. He's battled through multiple injuries this season, but the recent success has pushed his season OPS back up to .766 through 438 plate appearances.

The Phillies designated Hicklen for assignment Tuesday.

The Phillies selected Rafael Lantigua to the active roster Tuesday to make up for the loss of Edmundo Sosa (groin), which pushed Hicklen off the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old has spent the majority of the season as organizational depth at Triple-A, slashing .224/.319/.409 across 386 plate appearances.

Collins isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Collins will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going just 2-for-14 across his last six games. Jackson Chourio will slide over to left field to cover for Collins, opening up center field for Blake Perkins.

Wood is not in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

Wood went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts as the Nationals' fell in the first game of the twin bill, and he'll get a breather during the nightcap. Daylen Lile is in left field and Josh Bell is at designated hitter for the Nats.

Scott is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Scott has seen his playing time slip lately, as this is the fourth time he's been absent from the lineup over the Cardinals' last six contests. Nathan Church will patrol center field and bat ninth Tuesday.

Pages went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles and two total runs scored in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

Pages has multiple hits in three of his last four games, but his homer Monday was his first since Sept. 2 versus the Pirates. The outfielder has collected at least one hit in 17 of his last 25 games, batting .280 (26-for-93) in that span. On the year, he's played at a similar level, hitting .276 with a .783 OPS, 25 homers, 81 RBI, 69 runs scored, 13 stolen bases, 25 doubles and one triple over 144 contests.

Wilson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

Wilson continues to occupy a reserve role, though his playing time has picked up a bit with the Phillies' middle infield stretched thin by the absences of Trea Turner (hamstring) and Edmundo Sosa (groin). Most of Wilson's playing time has come in a short-side platoon role at a variety of positions. He's now at a .202/.276/.393 slash line with five homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and one stolen base over 98 plate appearances this season.
