Kyle Teel C | CHW
White Sox's Kyle Teel: Goes yard Tuesday
Teel went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Twins.
Teel and Lenyn Sosa went back-to-back in the seventh inning against Thomas Hatch. Teel is on a heater right now, going 19-for-47 (.404) with three home runs, nine runs scored, 10 RBI and an 8:10 BB:K over his last 13 games. He has five home runs in 215 plate appearances this season.

Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW
White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Trio of hits in rout
Baldwin went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored during Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Twins.
Baldwin reached in four of his five plate appearances, drawing a walk in addition to his trio of singles. The 25-year-old has recorded multiple hits in three of his last four games, and he's 17-for-49 (.347) with two home runs and three doubles across his last 16 outings.

Wilmer Flores 1B | SF
Giants' Wilmer Flores: Blasts two-run shot Tuesday
Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 7-4 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.
The homer was Flores' 15th of the year, and he now has one hit in four of his past five outings. The veteran slugger had 46 RBI through May 31, but he's cooled down dramatically ever since. Over his last 201 plate appearances (55 games), Flores is slashing a frigid .230/.303/.343 with five homers, five doubles and 20 RBI since the start of June.

Ryan Walker RP | SF
Giants' Ryan Walker: Locks down 13th save
Walker picked up the save Tuesday against the Rockies, striking out one in a clean ninth inning.
Walker secured his 13th save of the season, and he's quickly taken over as the Giants' top closer following the season-ending injury to Randy Rodriguez (elbow). Walker has successfully converted each of his last three save opportunities, and he's conceded just one earned run over his last 10.2 innings since the start of August. The right-hander also has an 11:1 K:BB during that stretch, and he should be rostered in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Logan Webb SP | SF
Giants' Logan Webb: Fans seven in 13th win
Webb (13-9) earned the win Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out seven.
Even though Webb's streak of starts of at least six innings was stopped at six, he still turned in a decent outing at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The All-Star right-hander has fired fewer than five frames just twice all year, and he's now fanned at least five on 24 occasions among his 29 outings. Webb owns a steady 3.17 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 194:39 K:BB across 178.2 innings, and he's next lined up to take the hill early next week at home against the division-rival Diamondbacks.

Ivan Herrera DH | STL
Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Smacks two-run homer in victory
Herrera went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.
That's now two homers in as many days to open the month of September for Herrera, who has three long balls in his past five outings. The 25-year-old backstop also has an active eight-game hitting streak, during which he's batting .375 with six RBI and five runs scored. Herrera's OPS sits at a career-best .818 for the campaign as well.

JoJo Romero RP | MIL
Cardinals' JoJo Romero: Nails down save No. 6
Romero struck out one in a clean ninth inning for the save Tuesday against the Athletics.
Romero recorded save No. 6 for the year, and each of those have come in the aftermath of the Ryan Helsley trade. With Riley O'Brien (shoulder) being day-to-day, Romero looks to be St. Louis' go-to weapon in the ninth inning for the time being. Romero had a 6.10 ERA through April 30, but he's posted a 1.12 ERA over his last 40.1 innings since the start of May to bring his ERA to a career-best 2.13 for the season.

Eli White CF | BOS
Braves' Eli White: Pops solo homer in loss
White went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.
White launched his eighth homer of the year and his first since Aug. 5 versus Milwaukee. Barring an injury to any of Atlanta's key players, the 31-year-old utility man should continue to play a part-time role to close out the campaign. For the season, White is batting a poor .233 with eight doubles, three triples, 31 RBI, 39 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 240 at-bats (95 games).

Caden Dana SP | LAA
Angels' Caden Dana: Starting Wednesday
The Angels will recall Dana from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Wednesday's game against the Royals in Anaheim, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
With Victor Mederos (shoulder) and Tyler Anderson (oblique) both on the injured list, the Angels will turn to Dana to fill one of the openings in the rotation. The 21-year-old righty hasn't fared well in the majors throughout his young career, allowing 16 earned runs in 16.1 innings while striking out 14 batters and walking 12 over five appearances (three starts) over the past two seasons. He also carries a 5.93 ERA through 82 frames in Triple-A this season, making him a risky streaming option for Wednesday.

Shota Imanaga SP | CHC
Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Logs sixth straight quality start
Imanaga (9-6) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out two.
While he fell one strikeout shy of tying his season-low output, Imanaga extended his streak of quality starts to six. The left-hander has permitted more than three runs on just three occasions in 21 starts this season and has pitched at least five frames in all but two outings. Imanaga sports a 3.15 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 97:23 K:BB over 123 innings, and he'll be trying to add to his streak of quality starts in a rematch with Atlanta early next week.
