Homers in Monday's win Merrill went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 3-1 win over the Astros.
Impact Merrill has broken out of a recent slump by logging multiple hits in three of his last four games. The rookie is batting .295 (26-for-88) with seven homers over his last 24 contests. He's up to a .290/.322/.504 slash line with 24 homers, 86 RBI, 74 runs scored and 16 stolen bases through 146 contests overall. His well-rounded production and relatively good health have him firmly in the NL Rookie of the Year conversation.

Homers in four-hit game Profar went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Monday's 3-1 win over the Astros.
Impact The only blemish on Profar's stat line was when he was caught stealing in the third inning. His bat started to fade in late August, but the outfielder has gone 14-for-43 (.326) with five extra-base hits and nine walks over 12 contests in September. This has been his best season to date, as Profar is slashing .285/.386/.467 with 23 homers, 83 RBI and 87 runs scored, all of which are career highs. He's added nine stolen bases and 27 doubles.

Bounces back for 33rd save Suarez pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Monday's 3-1 win over the Astros.
Impact Suarez took a blown save by allowing a game-tying home run Sunday versus the Giants, but he was able to bounce back just a day later. He needed just eight pitches to retire the side in the ninth inning of Monday's win. Suarez is up to 33 saves in 38 chances this year while maintaining a 2.55 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 54:14 K:BB across 60 innings. While two of his blown saves have come over his last four outings, he remains firmly in the closer role.

Quiets Astros for six innings Darvish (6-3) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out three over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Astros on Monday.
Impact This was the best of Darvish's three starts since he returned from an extended absence due to elbow inflammation and a personal matter. This was his fifth scoreless outing of the season. The veteran right-hander trimmed his ERA to 3.21 with a 1.11 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB over 70 innings across 14 starts. Darvish's next start is projected to be at home in a favorable matchup versus the White Sox.

Exits early vs. Astros Arraez left Monday's game against Houston due to an apparent lower body injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Arraez appeared to suffer the injury during a play at the plate in the bottom of the fifth inning and limped off the field with the team trainer. He was later able to take his scheduled at-bat in the seventh and swatted a double, but the Padres elected to deploy a pinch runner after Arraez limped into second base. The 27-year-old is likely headed back to the clubhouse for further evaluation and can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information on his status moving forward.
