    The 32-year-old shortstop posted his fifth multi-hit game in July, and the steal was his fourth of the month. Story should continue to serve as a key cog in Boston's lineup going forward, and he's been a five-category fantasy producer since the beginning of June.

  • Starlyn Caba SS | MIA

    Marlins' Starlyn Caba: Back on track at Single-A

    Caba (thumb) is 8-for-26 with two doubles, four RBI and four runs scored in his last six games for Single-A Jupiter.

    Caba got off to a tough start to begin July, going 3-for-20 at the dish through his first five appearances. However, he's managed to get back on track by collecting at least one base knock in five of his previous six matchups. Caba missed over two months of action earlier in the season while recovering from a left thumb sprain but has remained healthy since his return June 24.

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Set to face live pitching

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Remains in leadoff spot Monday

    Betts was placed in the leadoff spot for the first time since June of last season on Sunday against the Brewers and went 1-for-5 with one run scored. Manager Dave Roberts is sticking with Betts atop the order, as the reeling Dodgers look for something to jumpstart the offense. With Betts in the top spot, Shohei Ohtani is again batting second. Betts has underwhelmed during his age-32 campaign, slashing .240/.310/.374 with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 57 runs scored, six stolen bases and a 36:45 BB:K across 400 plate appearances.
