Tucker 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

Tucker has been dialed in lately, as he now has at least one hit in seven of his last eight games while batting .393 during that stretch with three home runs, eight RBI and eight runs scored. A hand injury that impacted his swing earlier in the summer is fully healed, and it appears that the outfielder is finally getting comfortable at the plate again following a prolonged slump. Overall, Tucker is batting .266 with an .846 OPS, and he's contributed 21 home runs, 25 stolen bases, 70 RBI and 87 runs scored.

Wilson went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning victory over Atlanta.

It was Wilson's second homer in August and only his third of the season. The utility man should continue to provide depth for the Phillies, but he doesn't have an opening for a regular role while most of the roster is healthy. For the year, Wilson is batting .214 with two doubles, 11 RBI, eight walks and nine runs scored through 70 at-bats.

Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Dodgers.

Carroll opened the scoring with a solo shot off Tyler Glasnow in the seventh inning. This was Carroll's seventh homer of the month but just his second over the last 18 games. The star outfielder is up to 28 long balls, 68 RBI, 91 runs scored, 21 stolen bases and a .256/.331/.553 slash line through 120 contests this season.

Soto went 2-for-2 with two home runs, two walks, three RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 11-8 loss to the Marlins. He was also hit by a pitch.

Soto was flawless at the plate and nearly carried the Mets to victory, launching a solo shot in the fourth and tying the game at 8-8 with a two-run blast in the sixth. Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com, with Saturday's production, the 26-year-old became just the fourth player in history to record 35 homers, 25 steals and at least 110 walks in a season. He's piled up 10 long balls and 10 steals in August alone and is now slashing .254/.395/.508 with 84 RBI and 102 runs scored across 596 plate appearances this season.

Chourio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Activated from the IL earlier in the day, the 21-year-old had a home run stolen from him in the first inning when Myles Straw scaled the center-field fence to catch it, but no one was bringing back Chourio's ninth-inning shot the other way off Toronto closer Jeff Hoffman to break open a 1-1 tie. Chourio had been sidelined since July 29 due to a hamstring strain, but he looked fully healthy Saturday as he returns to help lead the Brewers' playoff push. Through 107 games this season, he's slashing .278/.313/.481 with 18 homers, 18 steals, 68 RBI and 72 runs.

Beck isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Beck will step out of the starting nine Saturday following a 1-for-5 effort in Friday's loss. While he rests, Mickey Moniak, Brenton Doyle and Tyler Freeman will start across the outfield for Colorado.

Thomas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

An 0-for-4 performance Friday snapped what had been a three-game multi-hit streak for Thomas, and the D-backs will now get him some rest against Tyler Glasnow and the Dodgers. Jake McCarthy will fill the void in center field and bat seventh.

Myers was pulled from Saturday's game against the Mets with right side discomfort, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

After striking out during his at-bat in the first inning, Myers was replaced in the field by Jakob Marsee. The severity of Myers' injury has yet to be determined, but the Marlins' training staff will take a closer look at him and should provide more information soon.

The Pirates placed Simon on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a dislocated left shoulder.

Simon suffered the injury on a slide into home plate during his return to the majors Friday, and he'll now need to wait at least 10 more days before getting another chance to suit up for the Pirates. Cam Devanney was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move to replenish Pittsburgh's infield depth.

Hays isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Hays will get a day to reset after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and a sacrifice fly Friday. Gavin Lux will replace him in left field and bat fifth.
