    Miguel Amaya went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer against the Pirates on Sunday.

    Amaya isn’t playing as much as he’d probably prefer, but he’s hit a solid .240/.348/.380 in 236 plate appearances. Carson Kelly is at .260/.338/.387 in 396 plate appearances as the Cubs’ primary catcher, so that’s pretty much a match. The Cubs have a little bit better of an ERA with Amaya catching, but it doesn’t seem like they’re about to go away from the current arrangement.

    Bo Naylor went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, and two RBI in a loss to the Pirates on Thursday.

    Naylor drilled a solo home run in the eighth inning to get the Brewers within one run. He also accounted for another run on a fielder’s choice earlier in the game. The 26-year-old is hitting just .154/.214/.275 on the season, but he may get a few more starts down the stretch with the Brewers wanting to rest William Contreras more often ahead of the playoffs.

    Phillies claimed RHP José Urquidy off waivers from the White Sox.

    Urquidy can help cover for Jesús Luzardo’s absence, but he won’t be postseason eligible after getting picked up this late. He had a 4.37 ERA over 22 2/3 innings in six appearances for the White Sox. The Phillies moved Caleb Kilian to the 60-day IL to open up a spot on the 40-man for him, and they’ll need to send someone down once he reports to the team.

    Phillies transferred RHP Caleb Kilian from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list.

    It sounded like Kilian might make it back during the regular season, but this rules it out. He’s been out since suffering an oblique strain on Aug. 9.

    Kyle Harrison allowed five runs (four earned) on four hits in 1 2/3 innings in a loss to the Pirates on Thursday.

    Harrison didn’t allow a run in the first inning, despite giving up a double to Bryan Reynolds, and then got the first two outs in the second before things unraveled. He gave up a walk, an infield single, and a catcher’s interference, and then the wheels really fell off. He gave up atwo-run double, an RBI single, then hit a batter, walked a batter, and hit another batter before being removed from the game. He threw just 58 percent of his pitches for strikes and posted a 10 percent swinging strike rate. In his last four outings, Harrison has allowed 21 earned runs on 27 hits in nine innings. The Brewers may need to make other postseason plans.

    Kyle Tucker went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBI in an 8-2 win over the Reds on Thursday.

    Tucker came up just a triple shy of the cycle, and he has never actually hit for the cycle in his career. In September of last year, he came a double shy of hitting for one against the Marlins. Tucker’s first-inning home run off Brady Singer was his 16th of the season to go along with 69 RBI. He came into this game hitting .193/.300/.369 in 52 games in the second half. He hasn’t been striking out, and he has a 7.2 percent barrel rate over that timeframe, so maybe he can get it going before the playoffs begin.

    Max Muncy went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in a win over the Reds on Thursday.

    Muncy drove in two on a fourth-inning double that gave him 73 RBI on the season. He came into this one hitting just .239/.352/.435 in September with three RBI and a 17/6 K/BB ratio. He also had only one multi-RBI game since August 21st, so perhaps this gets him going a little bit.

    Sal Stewart went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in a loss to the Dodgers on Thursday.

    Stewart clobbered a solo shot off Blake Treinen in the fourth inning for his 32nd home run and 109th RBI on the season. He has a .271/.339/.477 slash line and seems to be en route to winning NL Rookie of the Year. He’s been one of the few bright spots for the Reds in a disappointing season.

    Brady Singer allowed seven runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Thursday.

    He also walked four and didn’t strike out a single batter while throwing just 55 percent of his pitches for strikes and registering just a five percent swinging strike rate. It was a poor outing overall for Singer, who allowed three extra-base hits, including a home run, and gave up runs in three of the four innings he pitched in. He’ll take a 5.67 ERA into his final start against Atlanta next week.

    Justin Wrobleski threw three shutout innings, allowing no hits and striking out three against the Reds on Thursday.

    The Dodgers couldn’t have asked for more from Wrobleski, who was always going to be on an abbreviated pitch count. The left-hander threw 72 percent of his pitches for strikes while posting a 16 percent swinging strike rate and 41 percent CSW. His four-seamer averaged 96.2 mph, and his sinker was 96.8, both of which are well above his season average. Obviously, he only threw 32 pitches in this one, but he seemed healthy after his earlier battle with forearm inflammation.
