Gilbert went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Padres.

The 25-year-old outfielder lined a single to left field in the first inning before coming around to score, and he added a two-run homer off Bradgley Rodriguez in the eighth. Gilbert recorded his first multi-hit performance of the month Saturday and is batting .217 with five runs scored, two RBI and a home run across 24 plate appearances in September. Overall, he's slashing .235/.321/.382 with 48 runs scored, 38 RBI, nine long balls and a stolen base in 366 plate appearances this season.

The Diamondbacks designated Gurriel for assignment Sunday.

The veteran slugger has started just three games since being reinstated from the injured list at the start of September, and Arizona has now elected to remove him from the 28-man and 40-man rosters. Gurriel has a .544 OPS with two homers in 201 plate appearances this season, which is the final guaranteed year of his contract. He has a $14 million club option with a $5 million buyout for 2027, which will likely guarantee that he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Caglianone (elbow) is batting third as the designated hitter Sunday against the Red Sox.

The 23-year-old was held out of the starting nine the past six games due to a flexor strain, but he'll return to the lineup Sunday after making a pinch-hit appearance in Saturday's contest. Caglianone is off to a slow start to September, going 4-for-18 with two doubles, four RBI and two runs through six games.

Walker (ankle) is starting in right field and batting cleanup Sunday against the White Sox.

The 24-year-old outfielder was held out of the lineup Saturday after exiting Friday's contest due to an ankle issue, but he's good to go for the series finale versus Chicago. Walker has been scuffling at the plate over his past seven games, going 3-for-23 with two walks, a double and eight strikeouts.

Caglianone (elbow) came off the bench and went 0-for-1 in Saturday's 5-1 loss against the Red Sox.

Caglianone pinch hit for Kyle Isbel in the eighth inning, striking out on four pitches before Josh Rojas replaced him defensively. Saturday marked Caglianone's first game action since Sept. 5, as he's dealing with a left flexor strain. Seeing the 23-year-old get an at-bat is a positive sign, but it remains to be seen if he'll be penciled into Sunday's lineup or be able to play defense. On the year, Caglianone is slashing .282/.331/.493 with 23 homers, 70 RBI, 66 runs and six stolen bases in 132 contests.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

Abreu broke a tie with a two-out, two-run double in the sixth inning. Saturday's effort was the third consecutive game with an extra-base hit and RBI for the outfielder. Abreu remains a productive hitter deep into a season in which he's logged a career-high 630 plate appearances; he has a .538 slugging percentage and 30 extra-base hits over 53 contests since the All-Star break.

Clark went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

A day after launching a home run against Colorado, Clark kept rolling with his third three-hit performance of the month. In September, the dynamic rookie is slashing .382/.500/.588 with a home run, three stolen bases, five RBI and eight runs scored across 10 games. Clark is trending up as he wraps up his first MLB campaign, and he figures to carry plenty of momentum into 2027.

Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Rodriguez has gone 6-for-16 over four games since he was dropped to fifth in the batting order. The outfielder was one of five Mariners to collect at least three hits in Saturday's onslaught of offense. For the season, Rodriguez is batting .243 with a .701 OPS, 21 home runs, 65 RBI, 68 runs scored, 22 doubles and 20 stolen bases over 138 contests, putting him in line for the worst year of his career in most categories.

Arozarena went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Arozarena ended a nine-game power drought with the second-inning blast. The outfielder had just two doubles and two RBI during that stretch. Arozarena is now batting .273 with an .835 OPS, 23 homers, 71 RBI, 97 runs scored, 29 doubles, one triple and 22 stolen bases over 141 contests this year. While his rate stats are among his best for a full season in his career, the outfielder's counting stats are mostly level or a little below where he's been in recent years.

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

This was just his second multi-hit effort in September. Langford has gone 7-for-39 (.179) over 11 games this month, though he has five extra-base hits in that stretch. For the season, the outfielder is batting .244 with a .775 OPS, 17 homers, 39 RBI, 58 runs scored, 19 doubles, two triples and 13 stolen bases over 97 contests.
