Urias went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's victory over the Red Sox.

Urias played a key role in Monday's win, collecting a pair of extra-base hits. Since joining the Astros, the infielder has slashed .333/.400/.611 over seven games with two doubles, a homer and three RBI. He has started three of the last seven games and makes for a nice option in deeper daily leagues, especially when he's at home, as he is well-suited to take advantage of the Crawford Boxes in left field.

Fairbanks earned a save against the Athletics on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

Fairbanks had a relatively easy path to a save, as he entered with a three-run lead in the ninth frame. The right-hander gave up a leadoff double but then settled in and retired the next three batters. Fairbanks has now reached 20 saves in each of his past three campaigns, and he has an excellent shot at exceeding his career-best mark of 25 regular-season saves, which he recorded in 2023.

Pepiot (8-9) earned the win over the Athletics on Monday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 6.1 innings.

Pepiot cruised through four scoreless frames before giving up a solo homer to Shea Langeliers in the fifth. The veteran hurler pitched into the seventh, but his final line was spoiled a bit when the final batter he faced -- Tyler Soderstrom -- tagged him for a three-run homer. Nonetheless, Pepiot got enough run support to end up with the victory, and this was the deepest he has pitched since he tossed eight frames against Baltimore on June 16. The right-hander's next start is slated to be against the Rays this weekend.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 loss against Houston.

Bregman got things started early against his former team, launching a two-run homer into the Crawford Boxes in the top of the first inning. The third baseman has put together an excellent first season in Boston, posting a .923 OPS with 22 doubles, 15 homers and 48 RBI through 74 games.

Anthony went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's loss against the Astros.

Anthony belted the third home run of his young career in the eighth inning, though the Red Sox ultimately couldn't complete the comeback and pull out a victory. The rookie has been outstanding and only improving as the season progresses, batting .345/.463/.527 with eight RBI over his past 15 games.

Sousa picked up the save in Monday's 7-6 win over the Red Sox. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out the lone batter he faced.

Sousa needed just four pitches to secure his fourth save of the season Monday, taking over for Enyel De Los Santos with one out left in the ninth inning and striking out Roman Anthony to end the game. The left-handed reliever isn't expected to handle closing duties on a regular basis but stepped in with Josh Hader temporarily unavailable due to left shoulder discomfort.

Javier (1-0) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over five innings against the Red Sox. He struck out five.

Javier got off to a shaky start Monday, giving up a two-run homer to Alex Bregman in the first inning, but settled in to deliver five strong frames and pick up the win in his 2025 debut. The right-hander made his first big-league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery last season, when he posted a 3.89 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 34.2 innings in seven starts.

Neto went 3-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs, an additional run scored and two walks in a 7-4 win against the Dodgers on Monday.

Neto began the Angels' half of the first inning with a bang, tagging All-Star hurler Yoshinobu Yamamato for a leadoff homer. He added a second solo shot in the sixth inning, giving the young shortstop his first multi-homer game of the campaign. Neto reached five times overall, with his final trip to first base coming on an intentional walk. The 24-year-old seems to be getting his power stroke back; after going 17 games without a home run from mid-July to early August, he's now gone deep four times across his past eight contests. Overall, Neto has produced a very solid .272/.329/.481 slash line with 19 homers, 72 runs, 48 RBI and 21 stolen bases over 100 games on the season.

Crochet (13-5) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings against the Astros. He struck out five.

Crochet struggled Monday, lasting a season-low four innings and matching his season high with five earned runs allowed. The outing hurts the southpaw's Cy Young candidacy, but his overall numbers -- a 2.48 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 152.1 innings and 24 starts -- still rank him among the American League's top pitchers this season.

Burger went 1-for-1 with a walk-off RBI single in Monday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Burger didn't appear during the first nine innings but was called on to pinch-hit for Joc Pederson against lefty Andrew Saalfrank in the 10th inning, delivering a walk-off hit. Recently activated from the injured list Aug. 8, Burger will look to earn playing time in what has been a challenging season.
