  • Mike Tauchman CF | NYM

    White Sox's Mike Tauchman: Scores twice

    Tauchman went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Sunday against the Twins.

    Tauchman was back in the lineup and led off after missing Saturday's game with lower-body soreness. He singled in both the first and second innings and came around to score on each occasion. The performance also extended Tauchman's hitting streak to six games, during which he's recorded three RBI and five runs scored.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Homers in third straight

    Montgomery went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Twins.

    Montgomery contributed to an early offensive barrage for the White Sox, as his home run came in the second inning and put the team up 7-0. He homered in all three games against the Twins over the weekend, giving him 13 long balls across his first 160 plate appearances in the majors. While his power is prodigious, Montgomery's inability to make consistent contact has persisted, potentially jeopardizing his production in the long term.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Knocks in three

    Quero went 2-for-4 with three RBI on Sunday against the Twins.

    Quero has started every other game across the last 10 days, forming an impressive duo with Kyle Teel behind the plate. The sporadic playing time makes it difficult to count on Quero for fantasy production, but he has delivered when in the lineup. In 14 games during August, he has gone 15-for-49 with one homer, eight RBI and four runs scored.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Stays hot

    Teel went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Twins.

    Teel delivered RBI singles in each of the first two innings, continuing his tear at the plate. He's gone 11-for-23 with two homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored across his last six games. Teel has moved up in the White Sox's order as a result of his hot streak, as he's hit third in four of his last five starts and served as the leadoff hitter on the fifth occasion.

  • Cam Smith RF | HOU

    Astros' Cam Smith: Productive despite no hits

    Smith went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Sunday against the Orioles.

    Smith has seen his playing time slip against right-handed pitching, though he was in the lineup Sunday with Trevor Rogers on the mound. While it was a peoductive day, Smith wasn't able to end his hitless streak, and he now has failed to tally a hit in five straight starts and seven of his last eight. Smith has had a streaky rookie season, and he could see his playing time continue to decline in the final month of the campaign.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Records 18th steal

    Pena went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Sunday against the Orioles.

    Pena recorded hits in each of his first two at-bats, the latter of which was an RBI single. He was then awarded third base due to an engagement violation, accounting for his 18th stolen base of the year. While a long stint on the injured list in July has muted his counting stats, Pena has a chance to reach 20 home runs for the first time since his rookie season and has a career-best .842 OPS across 432 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Carson Williams: Swipes first bag

    Williams went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Williams made his second big-league start and continued to flash his fantasy upside. After homering in his debut, Williams tallied his first steal and has attempted a stolen base in each of his first two contests. His ability to make consistent contact remains a concern, but there is considerable power and speed intrigue in his profile that has already been on display.

  • Ryan Pepiot RP | TB

    Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Has workload limited

    Pepiot (9-10) picked up the win Sunday against St. Louis, allowing one hit and one walk across five scoreless innings. He struck out three.

    Pepiot had no issues with the Cardinals' lineup, allowing just two baserunners in five innings of work. Surprisingly, he was pulled after five innings and 63 pitches. An injury hasn't been reported, so it seems as though the Rays are limiting his innings in the closing stages of the regular season. Pepiot has thrown a career-high 153 innings in 2025, topping his previous high of 130 innings set last season. The 28-year-old hadn't thrown fewer than 84 pitches in an appearance since June 27. He had allowed 17 runs across four starts spanning 21.2 innings before Sunday's outing. Pepiot is lined up to face the Nationals next weekend.

  • Rays' Chandler Simpson: Speed on full display

    Simpson went 2-for-3 with a two-RBI triple and a stolen base during Sunday's 7-2 win over St. Louis.

    Simpson's third-inning steal of second base was his fourth pilfer in as many games, boosting his season total to 38 steals. The outfielder also logged his third triple of the campaign. Simpson has been on a tear at the plate lately, going 21-for-53 (.396) with six stolen bases and a 5:6 BB:K in his last 13 games.

  • Joshua Lowe LF | LAA

    Rays' Josh Lowe: Swipes pair of bases

    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a single, a run scored and two stolen bases during Sunday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

    Lowe's two steals tied his career high, a feat he had accomplished just two times before. The 26-year-old now has 16 steals on the campaign, and he's swiped a bag in three consecutive contests. In August, Lowe is 13-for-61 (.213) with five doubles, eight runs and eight stolen bases.
