Tawa started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

After erupting for four runs in the first inning, Arizona's bats went silent until Tawa led off the top of the eighth inning with a solo home run. It was the 11th of the season for the versatile Tawa, who has started six consecutive games, slotting in at center field four times with one start each in left field and at first base.

Adams (0-2) took the loss after allowing four unearned runs on five hits while striking out eight over six innings in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Adams' final line was heavily influenced by Zac Veen's first-inning error, as Arizona capitalized with four unearned runs before the right-hander settled into an impressive rhythm. He retired 13 consecutive batters after Corbin Carroll's two-run triple in the first inning and didn't issue a walk over six innings, marking the first time this season he didn't issue a free pass. The eight strikeouts were a season-high output for Adams, who ends the season on a decent note despite the loss. In six starts in 2026, he went 0-2 with a 4.03 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB across 29 innings.

Loaisiga earned the save after allowing one hit and one walk over a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

Loaisiga was handed a two-run lead and made things interesting before closing out Arizona's victory. Colorado eventually put runners at second and third with two outs, but the right-hander escaped without allowing either to score after retiring Ezequiel Tovar on a popout to first to end the game. The scoreless frame not only lowered Loaisiga's ERA to 2.22 and kept the Diamondbacks' slim playoff chances alive, but it also marked the right-hander's sixth consecutive scoreless outing. Loaisiga has given up just two earned runs over his last 16 appearances and 17.2 innings, posting a pristine 0.51 ERA with a 11:1 K:BB over that stretch.

Kelly (10-14) earned the win Wednesday against the Rockies after allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.1 innings.

Kelly worked with a four-run lead after the first inning and kept Colorado from completing a comeback, allowing an RBI double to Adael Amador in the second and a Hunter Goodman sacrifice fly in the third. The veteran has struggled with consistency in recent weeks, and for the most part, his results have been underwhelming, with three or more earned runs allowed in six of his last 10 starts. He closes out the regular season with a 4.94 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 113:70 K:BB across 29 starts and 162 innings.

Pages went 3-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

This was Pages' second game back after a month-long absence due to a fractured left hand. He's played in center field in both games, so the outfielder should be able to handle a starting role in the postseason. Pages has put together a strong campaign, batting .275 with an .803 OPS, 21 home runs, 80 RBI, 73 runs scored, 25 doubles, two triples and 12 stolen bases over 130 contests, numbers mostly in line with last year's marks despite the time lost to injury.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Hernandez continues to have a hot September. He's gone 28-for-75 (.373) over 20 contests this month, hitting safely in 17 of them. He's seen a slight dip in power with no extra-base hits over his last seven games. Overall, the outfielder is batting .270 with a .762 OPS, 15 home runs, 63 RBI, 65 runs scored, 17 doubles, two triples and five stolen bases over 121 contests. Hernandez should continue to see a starting role, primarily in left field, heading into the postseason.

Tucker went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Tucker was ailing after fouling a ball off his right leg Saturday, but he ultimately missed just one start. The stolen base Wednesday would suggest that his leg isn't bothering him much now. The outfielder is up to 12 steals on the year, and he's hitting .237 with a .727 OPS, 17 home runs, 70 RBI, 88 runs scored, 23 doubles and four triples over 150 contests.

Yamamoto (14-9) allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out four over six innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Wednesday.

Yamamoto earned a third straight quality start, though the Padres' pair of runs in the fifth inning were a product of his own throwing error. The right-hander has had few stumbles this season, pitching to a 2.53 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 182:42 K:BB over 185 innings through 28 starts. His regular season is done, so expect Yamamoto's next appearance to come in the NLDS.

Taylor went 0-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Taylor manufactured a run on his own in the ninth inning after drawing a walk, with the two steals preceding Freddy Fermin's RBI single to pad the Padres' lead. Over his last 12 games, Taylor has gone 15-for-36 (.417) with five steals and four extra-base hits. The outfielder is now batting .333 with an .843 OPS, 12 steals, two home runs, 18 RBI, 26 runs scored, four doubles and two triples over 44 contests this season.

Tatis went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Tatis had gone eight games without a multi-hit effort before his breakout effort Wednesday. The outfielder has six extra-base hits and six RBI over his last nine contests. He's batting .287 with an .825 OPS, 25 home runs, 81 RBI, 95 runs scored, 31 doubles, three triples and 36 stolen bases over a career-high 156 games this season.
