Marcell Ozuna - Hits bench Monday Ozuna is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Ozuna will take a seat after going 1-for-6 with a double and two strikeouts after serving as Atlanta's designated hitter over the final two games of its weekend series with the Mets. He'll likely continue to be part of a three-way timeshare at DH with Willson Conteras and Travis d'Arnaud.

Matt Olson - Continues power surge Olson went 1-for-2 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Impact Olson went yard in all three contests of Atlanta's series with New York, giving him five long balls in his last six games. After a rough first three and a half weeks of September, Olson closed the month on a hot note and has carried over that success to early October. He secured the third 30-homer campaign in the process and now sits at 33 heading into Atlanta's final series of the regular season in Miami this week.

Dansby Swanson - Enjoys huge weekend vs. Mets Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Impact Swanson and Matt Olson were the offensive stars of Atlanta's series sweep of New York, with both players leaving the yard in all three games and driving in nine runs between them. The shortstop is two home runs behind last season's personal-best total (27), but Swanson is otherwise in the midst of what has been a career-best campaign in his seventh year in the majors. He's currently holding down career-high marks in batting average (.277), RBI (96), runs (99) and stolen bases (18).

Kenley Jansen - Notches third save of weekend Jansen saved Sunday's 5-3 win against the Mets, tossing a perfect ninth inning while failing to record a strikeout.

Impact With Atlanta possessing a tight lead over their divisional rivals for the third straight night, manager Brian Snitker turned to Jansen who once again delivered. The 35-year-old recorded three quick outs on seven pitches -- all of them strikes -- and has now converted seven straight save opportunities, permitting just one earned run while striking out 14 during the 10 inning stretch. Jansen reached 40 saves for the fourth time in his career and first since 2017, while he ranks one behind Emmanuel Clase for the MLB lead.

Charlie Morton - Labors in no-decision Morton didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Mets, allowing three runs on nine hits and one walk with five strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Impact Morton fell behind early, surrendering multiple baserunners in each of the first three innings with the runs coming across in the second and third, but Atlanta quickly retook the lead and Morton would've earned the win had he recorded two more outs. The 38-year-old scuffled over the last month-plus with a 5.40 ERA in 31.2 innings across six starts, though he compiled a 3-2 record over the stretch. Morton concludes the 2022 regular season with a 4.34 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 205 strikeouts in 172 innings across 31 starts -- his worst numbers for a full season since 2015.
