Baez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Rockies.

Baez has started to find a groove at the plate, hitting safely in eight of his last nine games. He's gone 10-for-29 (.345) with three homers and six RBI in that span. The rookie outfielder is hitting .229 with an .872 OPS, seven homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored, four doubles and two stolen bases over his first 21 major-league contests, and he should see steady time in left field down the stretch.

McCarthy went 1-for-3 with two walks, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.

McCarthy's surge on the basepaths has seen him notch nine steals over his last 18 games. In that span, he's batting .257 (19-for-74) with five RBI. McCarthy has a career-high 29 steals this season, but it's the overall package that has elevated him to a consistent spot atop the lineup for the Rockies. He's also batting .290 with an .811 OPS, 14 home runs, 72 RBI, 69 runs scored, 29 doubles and eight triples across 127 contests.

Carrigg went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.

Carrigg has logged multiple hits in three straight games, going 7-for-14 with three RBI in that span. The outfielder picked up his ninth steal of the year Saturday, with six of those thefts coming since the start of August. He's batting .269 with an .802 OPS, seven home runs, 39 RBI, 41 runs scored, 19 doubles and four triples across 73 contests this season.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

The 28-year-old launched a 410-foot blast off Braxton Ashcraft in the fifth inning. It was Lowe's first extra-base hit since he doubled Aug. 24, and he entered Saturday just 3-for-18 over eight games during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .210/.273/.360 with 11 homers, 28 RBI, 26 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 295 plate appearances.

Reynolds went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Angels.

Reynolds was the lone bright spot for the Pirates, reaching base in each of his plate appearances and launching a 421-foot blast in the eighth inning. While the long ball was the 31-year-old's first since July 28, he's hit safely in six of his past seven games with four multi-hit efforts. On the year, he's slashing .267/.373/.429 with 16 home runs, 67 RBI, 96 runs scored and nine steals across 624 plate appearances.

Trout was removed from Saturday's game versus Pittsburgh after being hit by a pitch on the hand, Erica Weston of Angels Broadcast Television reports.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI over his first four plate appearances before being hit on the hand with a pitch in the top of the ninth inning. The veteran outfielder was then replaced by Jose Siri on the basepaths. Trout underwent X-rays on his hand that came back clean, per Weston. It's not yet clear if Trout will be in the lineup Sunday for the series finale.

Greene went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Guardians.

Greene drove in runs in four separate plate appearances, highlighted by his second multi-homer effort of the campaign. It was a much-needed performance for the 25-year-old, who entered the contest just 1-for-13 in three games since returning from the injured list Tuesday. On the season, he's slashing .273/.364/.461 with 18 home runs, 60 RBI, 69 runs scored and three steals across 511 plate appearances.

Caglianone was removed from Saturday's matchup versus Toronto due to left elbow soreness.

Caglianone notched an RBI on an infield single in the first inning but was replaced by Nick Loftin in right field for the top of the third. It's unclear at this point if Caglianone is in danger of missing additional time, but the Royals are unlikely to ask him to play through a significant injury given that they entered Saturday's game nine games back of a wild-card spot. John Rave and Loftin are among the candidates for additional starts in the outfield if Caglianone does need to sit out with the injury.

The Dodgers designated Thomas for assignment Saturday.

Thomas spent some time with the big-league club in late August but was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sept. 1. He'd been hitting well since his return to OKC, going 4-for-15 with three homers, four RBI and a stolen base over three games, but Los Angeles DFA'd him to make room on the 40-man roster for Bobby Miller (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day injured list.

Montes (hip) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Montes was taken out of Friday's contest early due to left hip soreness, and he'll need at least one more day to recover before returning to action. Taylor Ward will pick up a start at designated hitter as a result and bat seventh.
