  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Slugs solo homer in narrow loss

    Baldwin went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 2-1 loss to Miami.

    The rookie catcher has now logged at least one hit in eight of his last 10 outings, and he crushed his 14th homer of the year. With Sean Murphy falling out of manager Brian Snitker's favor in 2025, Baldwin has capitalized on the opportunity as Atlanta's primary backstop. Baldwin is slashing a promising .278/.343/.458 with 12 doubles, 36 runs scored and 58 RBI over 329 trips to the plate.

  • Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Earns win despite shaky finish

    Woodruff (5-1) earned the win against Arizona on Monday, giving up five runs on five hits and one walk while striking out eight over 5.2 innings.

    Woodruff was dominant through the first five frames, allowing just one hit, before everything unraveled in the sixth. The right-hander surrendered five runs in the inning, including a three-run homer to Lourdes Gurriel, and was unable to complete the frame. Despite the rough finish, the 32-year-old still came away with the victory and now owns a 3.10 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 63:12 K:BB across 49.1 innings this season.

  • Luis Torrens C | NYM

    Mets' Luis Torrens: Ties career high with five RBI

    Torrens went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Monday's 13-3 win over the Phillies.

    The veteran catcher put together one of the best games of his career, tying his career high with five RBI. Torrens lined an RBI double in the sixth, then launched a three-run homer off Jordan Romano in the seventh to blow the game open before adding a run-scoring single in the eighth. Remarkably, the five RBI matched his total from his previous 53 games this season combined, a stretch in which he batted just .194.

  • Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Endures rare rough start

    Sanchez (11-5) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings.

    Sanchez cruised early, holding New York hitless through the first three frames, but ran into trouble, allowing 11 baserunners and five runs over the next 2.1 innings before being lifted. It was the southpaw's shortest outing since May 24 and the first time all season he's allowed five earned runs in a start. Despite Monday's stumble, Sanchez still owns a 2.66 ERA (seventh-best in MLB) along with a 1.13 WHIP and a 173:41 K:BB across 162.1 innings.

  • Kodai Senga RP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Second-half struggles continue

    Senga didn't factor into the decision against the Phillies on Monday, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings.

    The right-hander struggled with command and traffic on the bases again Monday, needing 93 pitches to get through four frames. Since the All-Star break, Senga has yet to record a win or complete six innings in any outing, posting a 6.10 ERA with a 29:20 K:BB across 31 innings in the second half. The 32-year-old is set to face the Marlins when he takes the mound again.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Pops grand slam in loss

    Young went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Monday's 10-5 loss to the Yankees.

    The Nationals outfielder finally tallied his first long ball in his 314th plate appearance of the season. Young took New York reliever Mark Leiter deep to right field in the ninth to shave his team's deficit to five runs. With Young stuck in a short-side platoon role, it is difficult to capitalize on his best quality for fantasy -- speed. Overall, the 26-year-old is slashing .231/.302/.282 with 29 runs scored and 24 RBI while going 13-for-23 on stolen base attempts.

  • Brad Lord RP | WAS

    Nationals' Brad Lord: Shelled in loss

    Lord (4-7) coughed up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings and took the loss Monday against the Yankees. He struck out five.

    The Washington right-hander was tagged for a season-worst six earned runs in this 78-pitch outing. This marks the second consecutive poor appearance for Lord, who had been solid in the second half prior to this start, pitching to a 3.45 ERA across 31.1 frames. After conceding two runs over the first four innings, Lord unraveled in the fifth, giving up five runs on five hits, capped by a Jazz Chisholm two-run homer. Across 100.2 total innings, the 25-year-old now sports a 3.84 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 82:33 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start at home against Tampa Bay this weekend.

  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Shuts down Atlanta in seventh win

    Cabrera (7-7) earned the win Monday against Atlanta, allowing one hit and two walks in seven shutout innings. He struck out 10.

    Atlanta offered little resistance against Cabrera, who matched a season high in strikeouts and set a season best in hits allowed. It was also a resounding rebound performance from the 27-year-old right-hander, who was knocked around for a season-high 11 hits his last time out against the Cardinals. Cabrera sports a 3.32 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 136:41 K:BB across a career-high 124.2 frames, and he's set to face a tough matchup in New York against the division-rival Mets this weekend.

  • Braves' Spencer Strider: Tough-luck loss in rebound effort

    Strider (5-12) took the loss Monday against the Marlins, allowing one run on three hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out three.

    It was a much-needed bounce-back showing by Strider, who had given up 20 runs over his prior three outings to Monday. It was the first time the hard-throwing right-hander threw at least seven frames since June 29 versus the Phillies, and he yielded fewer than two runs for the first time since July 18 against the Yankees. Strider still has work to do in order to improve his 4.95 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 96.1 innings, and he'll draw a stiff challenge in Philadelphia for his next scheduled outing.

  • Jose Siri LF | LAA

    Mets' Jose Siri: Starting up rehab at Single-A

    Siri (tibia) is expected to report to Single-A St. Lucie on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Siri has been on the shelf since April 17 due to a fractured left tibia, but he's finally gearing up for a return. With the Mets having acquired Cedric Mullins at the trade deadline to serve as their primary center fielder and with the Tyrone Taylor still available to fill in for Mullins against left-handed pitching, the Mets likely won't be in much of a rush to bring the right-handed-hitting Siri back from the 60-day injured list.
