Cox went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.

Cox has gotten a decent run of playing time in September, and he's gone 10-for-35 (.286) over his 10 games this month. The outfielder's steal Friday was his 10th of the season. He's batting .286 with a .796 OPS, four home runs, 11 RBI, 21 runs scored, two doubles and two triples across 109 plate appearances.

Taylor went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

Taylor has gone 6-for-25 (.240) with two steals over eight games since he returned from an oblique injury. The outfielder is filling a short-side platoon role in left field, though he was given the start Friday against an unproven right-hander in Anthony Molina. Taylor is batting .310 with a .775 OPS, one home run, eight steals, 11 RBI, 17 runs scored, two doubles and two triples over 130 plate appearances this year.

Merrill went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

Merrill has at least three hits in three of his last four games, adding nine RBI and two steals in that span. The outfielder has had some ups and downs this season but looks to be in a groove after a rough patch earlier in September. He's batting .248 with a .732 OPS, 24 home runs, 26 steals, 79 RBI, 76 runs scored, 24 doubles and four triples over 144 games.

Arozarena went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

Arozarena is up to 22 steals on the year, though he's just 3-for-6 on the basepaths since the All-Star break. The outfielder has also struggled to sustain his production in a tougher second half of the campaign. Overall, he's batting .272 with an .830 OPS, 22 home runs, 67 RBI, 96 runs scored, 29 doubles and one triple over 140 contests.

Bolte went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

The steal was Bolte's 20th of the season. He has played well in September, going 13-for-39 (.333) at the plate with four home runs, six steals and seven RBI over 10 games this month. Overall, he's hitting .276 with a .757 OPS, 10 homers, 33 RBI, 48 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple over 105 contests as a rookie.

Butler went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Butler went deep in the third inning. He entered the contest 0-for-15 with five strikeouts over his previous four games. Aside from that skid, the outfielder has been pretty steady for much of the second half. He's now batting .229 with a .694 OPS, 14 homers, 54 RBI, 55 runs scored, 17 doubles, one triple and 10 stolen bases over 140 contests.

Carroll went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Carroll went yard as part of a five-run sixth inning for the Diamondbacks. The outfielder had missed the previous two games due to lower back discomfort. He reached the 20-homer mark Friday, but his power has been a little lacking recently, as he has just two long balls over his last 25 games. For the season, he's batting .240 with an .803 OPS, 63 RBI, 86 runs scored, 30 doubles, 16 triples and 21 stolen bases over 142 contests. Carroll has reached the 20-20 mark in each of his four full major-league seasons.

Beavers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a two-run single during Baltimore's 7-4 win over Toronto on Friday.

Beavers wasted no time in getting the Orioles on the board, taking the second pitch he saw from Max Scherzer deep to right field for a 375-foot solo homer in the first inning. Beavers capped off Baltimore's five-run second inning with a two-run single, and the 25-year-old outfielder has now logged three RBI in back-to-back games and three times this season. He has a .712 OPS with five steals, seven home runs and 39 RBI over 309 plate appearances on the campaign.

Bateman went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run during Toronto's 7-4 loss to Baltimore on Friday.

It was another disappointing loss for a Blue Jays team looking to sneak into the playoffs, but Bateman gave the home fans something to cheer for with a two-run homer in the ninth inning to make the score look more respectable. It was the first major-league home run of Bateman's career and only his seventh homer at any level since being selected by the Cubs in the eighth round of the 2023 MLB Draft. The 24-year-old outfielder has an .826 OPS with three steals, nine RBI and seven extra-base hits across 134 plate appearances this season.

Ewing went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly during the Mets' 6-4 loss to the Yankees on Friday.

Ewing kept the Mets competitive with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning before belting a solo homer off David Bednar in the ninth to reduce the deficit to two runs. Ewing has logged at least two RBI in four of his last six outings and has reached base safely in 10 consecutive games, going 16-for-37 (.432) with two home runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored over that span.
