Carroll batted fifth and went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Yankees.

Carroll tied the game at 3-3 in the sixth inning with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. One game after he was slotted in as the seventh batter, manager Torey Lovullo moved the outfielder back up to fifth in the order. A recent slump prompted the manager to drop Carroll from the upper third of the order to fifth and then a one-day sentence to seventh. He's batting .192 with a .637 OPS during September.

Bachar will serve as the Pirates' opening pitcher in a bullpen game Sunday against the Royals, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Bachar will be making his 11th start of the season but hasn't covered more than three innings in any of those prior 10 appearances and will be in line for an abbreviated workload once again Sunday. After tossing three scoreless innings in a long-relief appearance against the Brewers on Tuesday, Antwone Kelly could be called upon to work multiple frames out of the bullpen once Bachar exits the game.

Smith entered as a pinch hitter and hit a walk-off, two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Yankees.

Smith took Michael Fulmer deep in dramatic fashion, which helped snap the team's three-game losing streak and inched the Diamondbacks closer in the wild-card standings. It was Smith's second home run in three games. He usually finds himself in the starting lineup against right-handers but opened Saturday's contest on the bench against New York righty Cam Schlittler. Since having his contract selected from Triple-A Reno last week, Smith is 5-for-15 with three extra-base hits and four RBI through six games.

Simon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

Simon opened the scoring with his first career major-league home run in the second inning. The 26-year-old has been solid in a small sample this season, hitting .313 with four extra-base hits, four RBI, nine runs scored and seven steals across just 52 plate appearances with the Pirates.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

Lowe hit what proved to be the game-winning blast in the bottom of the eighth inning. It continued a strong run by the 32-year-old, who's hit safely in 10 of his past 11 games while going deep in four of his last five. For the year, he leads all second basemen with 33 long balls while slashing .262/.332/.494 with 93 RBI, 92 runs scored and two steals across 630 plate appearances.

Marsee went 3-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Marsee has gone 9-for-17 over five games during the Marlins' current road trip. The outfielder is now batting .232 with a .710 OPS, 11 home runs, 23 stolen bases, 39 RBI, 80 runs scored, 19 doubles and six triples through 149 contests. Marsee maintains strong plate discipline, but his batted-ball luck has faltered over a larger sample in 2026 -- he has a .285 BABIP this year compared to a .357 mark in 55 games in 2025.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Hernandez has gone 10-for-30 (.333) during his seven-game hitting streak. The steal was his first since Sept. 6 against the Cubs. The outfielder is now batting .230 with a .760 OPS, 24 home runs, 12 steals, 64 RBI, 47 runs scored, 16 doubles and a triple over 123 contests this season. He is seeing the bulk of the playing time in left field.

Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and three stolen bases in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Ruiz made the most of his time on base, but he wasn't able to cross the plate. The speedy outfielder continues to work in a part-time role. He has gone 22 contests without a multi-hit effort, collecting four steals on six attempts in that span. For the season, Ruiz is batting .223 with a .725 OPS, six home runs, 16 RBI, 36 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and 33 steals over 235 plate appearances.

Conine went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Conine took Mason Miller deep in the ninth inning to force an extra inning. In September, Conine has gone 16-for-59 (.271) with five extra-base hits, eight RBI and 11 runs in 17 contests. The 29-year-old is now batting .256 with an .835 OPS, 17 homers, 39 RBI, 42 runs scored, eight doubles and four stolen bases over 296 plate appearances this season.

Lopez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Lopez has gone 19-for-50 (.380) over his last 13 contests, hitting safely in 11 of them. This was his first homer since Aug. 30 versus the Nationals. The infielder is batting .307 with a .794 OPS, 11 homers, 71 RBI, 91 runs scored, 32 stolen bases, 32 doubles and nine triples over 151 contests.
