Whether the Mets are capable of reversing their August freefall to remain within striking distance in the National League playoff race will hinge on more than just one game. But Yoenis Cespedes’ performance Saturday reminded them, at the very least, that they have a batter dominant enough to alter a season.

The Mets’ lineup received a much-needed boost Saturday with the return of Neil Walker. He went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in a 9-5 win over the Giants in his first start since missing the previous four games with lower back stiffness.

Here’s a look at top prospects to watch Sunday in Minor League action.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Angel Pagan suffered a right groin strain during the Giants’ 9-5 loss to the Mets on Saturday.

The Rays called up Richie Shaffer from Triple-A Durham and activated lefty reliever Enny Romero from the disabled list prior to Saturday’s 8-2 win against the Rangers. Ryan Garton was optioned to Durham, and Nick Franklin was placed on the 7-day concussion DL.

Second baseman Logan Forsythe and center fielder Kevin Kiermaier were both out of the Rays’ starting lineup for Saturday’s 8-2 win against the Rangers at Tropicana Field.

He even unpacks his own bags.

The Padres optioned left-handed reliever Ryan Buchter to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday afternoon, amid a handful of roster moves that included optioning Nick Noonan back to El Paso, and recalling infielder/outfielder Patrick Kivlehan and left-handed pitcher Keith Hessler.

So, so close.

D-backs shortstop Nick Ahmed will undergo season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his ailing right hip next week.

The Rangers, looking for outfield depth with the loss of Shin-Soo Choo for the season, signed outfielder Carlos Gomez to a Minor League contract on Saturday.

Winning gold in sprinting around the bases.

Josh Donaldson was held out of the Blue Jays’ lineup for the second consecutive game on Saturday night because of a jammed right thumb.

The White Sox have James Shields under contract for two more seasons, barring the right-hander exercising an opt-out after the 2016 World Series comes to a close or an offseason trade.

Throwing from a mound for the first time since his mid-July setback, Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw came away feeling good.

A setback has impeded right-hander Jesse Hahn’s return, initially planned for Sunday in Chicago.

Before Carlos Gomez agreed to a Minor League deal with the Rangers on Saturday, the Marlins had interest in the veteran outfielder, who cleared waivers earlier in the afternoon. Miami continues to explore other options, and Braves outfielder Jeff Francoeur could be a possibility in a waiver deal prior to the Aug. 31 waiver Trade Deadline.
