Hernandez went 4-for-5 with one RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Hernandez has hit safely in six straight games, but this was his first multi-hit effort in that span. He's also gone nine contests without an extra-base hit. The outfielder is now batting .232 with a .766 OPS, 24 home runs, 64 RBI, 47 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and 11 stolen bases through 121 contests this season.

Marsee went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Marsee filled the box score with his sixth multi-hit effort over his last 10 games. He has two homers, seven RBI and two steals in that span. For the season, the 25-year-old outfielder is batting .227 with a .702 OPS, 11 homers, 23 steals, 39 RBI, 78 runs scored, 19 doubles and six triples across 147 contests.

McCarthy went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-3 loss to the Padres.

The theft was McCarthy's 30th of the year, and this is the first time he's reached that milestone. Wednesday was just the third time in September he's been held hitless -- he's batting .345 (20-for-58) this month. Overall, the outfielder has enjoyed a career year, hitting .295 with an .822 OPS, 15 home runs, 80 RBI, 75 runs scored, 30 doubles and 10 triples across 137 contests.

Merrill went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

Over his last nine games, Merrill has tallied at least three hits on five occasions, going 20-for-39 (.513) in that span. The outfielder has added 13 RBI and three home runs during the hot streak. For the season, he's batting .256 with a .746 OPS, 25 home runs, 26 stolen bases, 83 RBI, 79 runs scored, 25 doubles and four triples over 149 contests. Merrill is locked into a starting role as the Padres battle for a playoff spot.

Taylor went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

Taylor has gone 10-for-37 (.270) over 12 games since he returned from an oblique injury at the end of August. He has added four steals in that span, providing a boost of speed from the lower half of the lineup. The outfielder has a career-high 10 steals on 12 attempts while batting .312 with a .770 OPS, one home run, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored, two doubles and two triples across 143 plate appearances this year.

Ewing went 2-for-4 with two singles and a steal in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Orioles.

The 22-year-old singled and stole second base during the second inning for his 24th theft of the season, which ties the Mets rookie record for steals in a season set by Mookie Wilson in 1981. Ewing's bat has been red hot in September, going 18-for-47 (.383) with five extra-base hits and 10 RBI. For the season, that's boosted his slash line to .256/.327/.383 with 10 homers, 38 RBI and 52 runs scored in 110 games while operating as New York's primary center fielder.

Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 with a triple, two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 8-4 win over Atlanta.

Crow-Armstrong strengthened his case for National League MVP on Wednesday with another multi-HR game -- his seventh of the season -- while hustling out an RBI triple in the fifth inning. He's already set career highs in homers (44), RBI (105) and stolen bases (37) across 687 plate appearances this year, and he has just over a week left in the regular season to record the seventh 40-40 season in major-league history and first in Cubs franchise history.

The Nationals optioned Pinckney to Triple-A Rochester after Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Pinckney was recalled from Triple-A on Thursday and went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored during his brief stint in the majors. Unless the Nationals need to replace an injured player down the stretch, the 25-year-old will most likely play out the rest of the season at Rochester.

Bolte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Rays.

Bolte and Tommy White both took Nick Martinez deep in the third inning for solo home runs to reduce the Athletics' deficit to 4-2. Bolte is up to 11 home runs this season, five of which have come in September. He has gone 16-for-52 (.308) with six steals, eight RBI, six extra-base hits and 13 runs scored this month.

Simpson went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a steal during the Rays' 4-3 win over the Athletics on Wednesday.

Simpson was one of three Rays batters to smack an RBI double off Brady Basso, and the former showed off his speed with a steal in the third inning of Wednesday's win. Simpson has logged 40-plus steals in back-to-back seasons, and his 42 swiped bags in 2026 are second most in the majors behind Nasim Nunez (46). Simpson's .310 batting average also ranks second behind Luis Arraez (.316), and the former is fifth in the majors in hits (167) across 580 plate appearances.
