  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Homers again in win

    Harper went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's victory over the Giants.

    The 30-year-old fantasy stalwart deposited a first-inning offering from Kyle Harrison into the right-field seats for a two-run shot. Harper has been red-hot over his last six contests, boasting a slash line of .455/.586/1.045 with four home runs, six RBI, eight runs scored, five walks and just two strikeouts across 29 plate appearances during that stretch.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | ATL

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Power surge continues

    Ozuna went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mets.

    His fifth-inning shot off Tylor Megill gave Atlanta a 3-0 lead and proved to be the difference in the game. Ozuna has gotten hot again, going yard three times in the last two games and slashing .342/.419/.632 in August with five homers and 14 RBI in 21 contests. Despite his ice-cold first month of the season, the 32-year-old slugger has an .836 OPS in 2023 -- his best performance over a full season since he erupted for a career-best .924 OPS in his final year with Miami in 2017.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Marlins' Jorge Soler: Homers in Tuesday's win

    Soler went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

    Soler went yard to open the scoring in the third inning. He's homered seven times over his last 13 games, but he's gone just 11-for-46 in that span as he continues to produce more power than consistency from the leadoff spot. The outfielder is at a .240/.330/.508 slash line with 33 homers, 68 RBI, 68 runs scored and one stolen base through 120 contests overall.

  • J.D. Martinez DH | NYM

    Dodgers' J.D. Martinez: Out at least 2-to-3 weeks

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Martinez (groin) will be out for at least 2-to-3 weeks, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Martinez landed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday afternoon due to lingering left groin tightness and is going to be completely shut down from baseball activities for the next week. A build-up period will follow, and it could very well extend into mid-September. Michael Busch is serving as the Dodgers' designated hitter and batting eighth Tuesday night at Cleveland.

  • Jesse Winker DH | NYM

    Brewers' Jesse Winker: Rehab moves to Triple-A

    Winker (back) shifted his rehab assignment Tuesday to Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Winker is now just one step away from returning to the Brewers' active major-league roster after going 5-for-13 in four games with High-A Wisconsin. He's been sidelined since late July due to back spasms.

  • J.D. Martinez DH | NYM

    Dodgers' J.D. Martinez: Goes on IL with tight groin

    The Dodgers placed Martinez on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left groin tightness, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

    This groin/hamstring tightness has been a lingering issue for Martinez throughout the second half of the 2023 campaign and he will now take an extended period off for rest and treatment. When healthy this season, the veteran designated hitter has posted an .856 OPS with 25 home runs and 78 RBI across 92 games for Los Angeles. Michael Busch has been called up in a corresponding roster move.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | ATL

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Goes deep twice

    Ozuna went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Monday's 10-4 loss to the Mets.

    The 32-year-old outfielder got the better of David Peterson on Monday, blasting two solo shots off the Mets' starter. Ozuna's first homer marked an historic achievement for Atlanta, as it now boasts five players with 25-plus home runs for the first time in franchise history. The slugger has now hit safely in 17 of his last 18 contests, posting a .348/.419/.621 slash line with four homers, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored during that stretch.

  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Giants' Joc Pederson: Homers Monday

    Pederson went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's loss against the Phillies.

    Pederson put the Giants in front early with a homer off Aaron Nola in the opening inning. It's Pederson's 12th homer of the year and his first since July 28 -- he'd gone just 11-for-59 (.186) with a .450 OPS in 19 games over that span. Overall, the 31-year-old Pederson is slashing .238/.351/.423 across 316 plate appearances with 45 runs scored and 41 RBI this season while serving as San Francisco's primary DH against right-handed pitching.

  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Legs out inside-the-park homer

    Harper went 2-for-5 with a home run in Monday's win over San Francisco.

    Harper tied the game 1-1 in the first inning with an RBI single before legging out an inside-the-park home run in the fifth. He's now 8-for-19 (.421) with three homers over his last five games. Overall, Harper's slash line is up to .293/.385/.449 with 10 homers, 57 runs scored, 42 RBI and seven steals through 397 plate appearances this season.

  • Kyle Lewis DH | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Kyle Lewis: Returns to Reno

    Lewis was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

    Lewis was called up last week and did have a multi-hit game, but he also posted a .325 OPS over 19 plate appearances, so the Diamondbacks decided to remove him from the roster to open up a spot for the returning Evan Longoria.
