Ewing went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

Ewing had gone 0-for-11 with four strikeouts over his previous three games. He's now 20 games removed from his last multi-hit effort, but the Mets are out of contention and willing to let the young outfielder get some big-league experience down the stretch. Overall, Ewing is batting .236 with a .659 OPS, seven home runs, 22 steals, 28 RBI, 42 runs scored, 17 doubles and a triple over 96 contests as a rookie this year.

Soto went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

Soto has gone 2-for-7 over two games since he returned from a month-long absence due to a calf strain. He's served as the designated hitter in both games, and it's unclear if he'll see much action in the field as the Mets continue to evaluate young outfielders A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge down the stretch. For the year, Soto is batting .283 with a .950 OPS, 22 homers, 54 RBI, 48 runs scored, eight doubles, two triples and seven stolen bases over 86 contests.

Wade went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mets.

Wade's sixth-inning long ball was the difference in this contest after he came on to pinch hit for Cam Smith. Though he's shifted into more of a part-time role lately, Wade has gone 10-for-37 (.270 average) over 19 contests in August, including three extra-base hits and five RBI.

Saggese went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.

Saggese got the start at shortstop Sunday after JJ Wetherholt (wrist) landed on the injured list. A natural second baseman, Saggese has a path to playing time on the left side of the infield while Wetherholt and Blaze Jordan (ankle) are sidelined. It may end up becoming a platoon situation somewhere for the right-handed-hitting Saggese, while lefties Cesar Prieto and Nolan Gorman could see more opportunities against right-handed pitchers. For the year, Saggese is batting .210 with a .560 OPS, one home run, four RBI, 11 runs scored, two doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 87 plate appearances in the majors.

Cruz went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

Cruz went 5-for-13 during the three-game weekend series versus St. Louis. The outfielder was able to make an impact with speed in this contest, picking up his first steals since Aug. 19. For the season, he's 24-for-28 on the basepaths. Cruz is batting .263 with an .835 OPS, 17 home runs, 52 RBI, 52 runs scored, 11 doubles and one triple over 75 contests this year, and he's hit .256 (10-for-39) since returning from a fractured hand.

Valdez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

Valdez had gone just 4-for-29 (.138) with a 4:17 BB:K over his last eight games. He has homered twice over his last four contests, but his overall consistency at the plate is still a work in progress. The outfielder is batting .244 with an .890 OPS, 16 homers, 44 RBI, 37 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 65 games this season, though his 37.5 percent strikeout rate is a major limiting factor.

Ramos went 2-for-2 with a three-run homer and a pair of walks in Sunday's 16-1 win over the Red Sox.

Getting the start in right field against the left-handed Ranger Suarez, Ramos extended New York's lead to 5-0 in the fifth inning with a three-run, 416-foot blast, his 10th homer this season and first with the Yankees. Ramos had been struggling mightily in New York prior to Sunday, going just 7-for-59 (.119) with a .461 OPS in his first 20 games following a trade from San Francisco. Ramos figures to remain in the short side of a right-field platoon with Spencer Jones until Aaron Judge (ribs) is able to return.

Anthony went 2-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 16-1 loss to the Yankees.

While there wasn't much to be excited about for Boston on Sunday, Anthony's return to the lineup, following a nearly four-month stint on the IL, was certainly a bright spot. Anthony, who led off for the Red Sox, is expected to serve as their primary DH down the stretch. He's slashing .239/.358/.336 with one homer, 12 runs scored, five RBI and two steals across 134 plate appearances this year.

Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game with the Angels.

With the Angels sending left-hander Yusei Kikuchi to the mound, Marsh will take a seat. Bryan De La Cruz will man left field and bat sixth for the Phillies.

Crawford is absent from the lineup for Philadelphia's game with the Angels on Sunday.

With southpaw Yusei Kikuchi toeing the slab for the Angels, Crawford will ride the pine as the Phillies go for a sweep Sunday. Derek Hill will take over in center field and bat ninth.
