Crow-Armstrong went 4-for-6 with three home runs, six RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 17-5 win over the Reds.

The All-Star outfielder bolstered his National League MVP case again, recording his first career three-homer game while also racking up a career-high-tying six RBI on Saturday. He now has five multi-homer efforts on the campaign and 11 for his career as well. Through 608 trips to the plate, Crow-Armstrong is slashing a robust .282/.377/.567 with 36 long balls, 89 RBI, 32 stolen bases and 97 runs scored.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said after Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Yankees that both Anthony (finger) and Trevor Story (sports hernia) will likely be reinstated from the injured list Sunday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Anthony and Story are both joining the Red Sox in the Bronx ahead of Sunday's series finale. There are corresponding moves that need to be made, but it looks like Boston is getting significant upgrades right before the calendar turns to September for the final weeks of the regular season. Anthony figures to see the majority of his playing time as the Red Sox's designated hitter in the absence of Masataka Yoshida (hamstring), though Anthony should also see a few reps in the outfield.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Brewers.

Nimmo was a pest in a losing effort, tallying a homer and a steal in the same contest for the first time this season. It was a much-needed performance for the 33-year-old, who entered the game just 2-for-35 over his past nine contests and without a home run since Aug. 9. For the season, he's slashing .262/.327/.423 with 14 long balls, 51 RBI, 54 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 550 plate appearances.

Chourio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

Chourio launched a solo shot in the first inning, reaching the 20-homer mark for the third straight season. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, he's just the 17th player to accomplish this feat by age 22, a list that includes eight Hall of Famers. On the year, he's slashing .281/.342/.478 with 20 long balls, 56 RBI, 69 runs scored and 14 steals across 456 plate appearances.

Hernandez went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer during the Marlins' 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Nationals on Saturday.

Hernandez capped off the Marlins' four-run seventh inning in style by belting a two-run home run off Brad Lord. It was the 22nd homer of the season for Hernandez, four of which have come during his current seven-game hitting streak. Over his last 10 games, Hernandez has gone 11-for-38 (.289) with one steal, eight RBI and four extra-base hits.

Soto went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Seeing his first action since July 24 due to a calf srain, Soto gave the Mets a lead they wouldn't relinquish with an RBI single in the fifth inning. For the season, he's slashing .283/.406/.535 with 21 homers, 53 RBI, 47 runs scored and seven steals across 363 plate appearances. The 27-year-old skipped a rehab assignment and may need to shake off some rust, but his return is surely a boost for fantasy managers down the stretch.

Jenkins went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.

In his second big-league game, Jenkins picked up his first career steal, RBI and extra-base hit, after he'd gone 1-for-3 with a walk in his debut Friday. The 21-year-old is covering center field while Byron Buxton (hip) is on the mend, but Jenkins should slide over to an outfield corner once the veteran is cleared to return, with left field the likelier spot, as Trevor Larnach is batting .188 (12-for-64) in August.

Crews went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored during the Nationals' 5-4 extra-inning win over the Marlins on Saturday.

Crews sent the home crowd happy in the 10th inning with a bases-loaded, RBI single that brought the game-winning run home for the Nationals' first walk-off of the season. The 24-year-old outfielder is on a five-game hitting streak and has reached base safely in nine consecutive games, during which he has gone 12-for-36 with seven RBI, four extra-base hits and four runs scored.

Wood (oblique) will play seven innings in left field for Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

It'll likely be Wood's only game on his rehab assignment, with Nationals manager Blake Butera saying Saturday "we'll probably give [Wood] Monday off, then we'll see from there." Wood could be back with the Nationals as soon as Tuesday, when major-league rosters expand to 28 players. He is in the final stages of his recovery from a left oblique strain that caused him to go on the 10-day injured list in early August.

The Giants transferred Schmitt (knee) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

The move opens up a spot on the 26-man roster for Yunior Marte, who will start in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks. Schmitt underwent surgery in late July to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. He's technically eligible to return in the last days of the regular season, but he'll likely be sidelined for the rest of the year given that the Giants are all but eliminated from postseason contention.
