  • Jonah Bride 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Jonah Bride: Launches three-run homer

    Bride went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Phillies on Wednesday.

    Bride helped Miami get off to a promising start with a three-run homer in the first inning and added a sacrifice fly in the fourth, but the team's pitching couldn't contain Philadelphia's offense. Bride continues to be a bright spot for the Marlins, as he's notched at least one hit in 15 of 19 games since the All-Star break and is batting .308 (20-for-69) with five home runs and 17 RBI during that span. That has put him on the fantasy map, especially because he's moved into an everyday role since Josh Bell was traded to Arizona.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | NYM

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Perfect at plate Wednesday

    Alonso went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run double in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Athletics.

    This was Alonso's first four-hit game this season. The first baseman has gone 17-for-61 (.279) with six homers and 15 RBI over his last 16 contests, though he also has an unsettling 27 strikeouts in that span. For the season, he's up to a .246/.329/.475 slash line, 26 homers, 68 RBI, 68 runs scored, 27 doubles and three stolen bases over 120 games.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Slugs three-run homer

    Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

    Cronenworth launched his 15th home run of the season, a three-run shot off Mitch Keller in the opening frame. Cronenworth now owns a six-game hitting streak and is batting .261 with two extra-base hits, seven RBI and three runs scored during that span. The 30-year-old is slashing .249/.318/.412 with 15 home runs, 70 RBI, 56 runs scored and two steals in 117 games this season.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Sitting down Wednesday

    Hoskins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.

    Hoskins has been seeing the ball well since the beginning of August, slashing .300/.349/.500 with two homers and four RBI across 43 plate appearances. He'll get a breather against right-hander Walker Buehler while Jake Bauers covers first base and Tyler Black serves as Milwaukee's designated hitter.

  • Ty France 1B | CIN

    Reds' Ty France: Getting evening off

    France is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    France will get a respite for the series finale after he went 4-for-17 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run while starting each of the last five games at either first base or designated hitter. Spencer Steer will get the nod at first base Wednesday, while Jeimer Candelario serves as the Reds' DH.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Bowing out against southpaw

    Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    The lefty-hitting Tellez will exit the lineup while the Padres send southpaw Martin Perez to the bump Wednesday. Connor Joe will check in at first base for Tellez, who had started each of the last nine games while slashing .290/.313/.387 with two RBI and two runs.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SD

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Swipes bag in win

    Arraez went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-0 victory against the Pirates.

    Arraez was the only Padre to reach base three times in the victory, and he scored two of the team's three runs. Arraez also sweetened his fantasy line with a stolen base in the first inning. He's far from a speedster on the basepaths, but Arraez does have a career-high five thefts on the campaign.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Hitting off tee

    Manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Walker (oblique) is now asymptomatic and has begun hitting off a tee, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Walker had been limited to taking dry swings over the past several days while the team waited for the pain in his oblique to dissipate, but he'll now begin ramping up activities. It's still unclear how far away the 33-year-old is from a return to Arizona's lineup, but the acquisition of Josh Bell ahead of the trade deadline will allow the D-backs to approach Walker's rehab with less urgency.

  • Michael Busch 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Idle against lefty

    Busch is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

    The lefty-hitting Busch will take a seat Tuesday as southpaw Matthew Boyd takes the mound for Cleveland. Patrick Wisdom will bat fifth and play first base.

  • Tyler Black 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Tyler Black: Officially promoted

    The Brewers recalled Black from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    With outfielder Blake Perkins (calf) going on the 10-day injured list, Black was summoned from Triple-A to fill the open spot on the active roster. Over his previous two stints with Milwaukee this season, Black hit .235 with two doubles, one RBI, three stolen bases and two runs scored in 12 games. He'll likely serve in a utility role while he's up with the Brewers.
