Adam was diagnosed with a left quadriceps tendon rupture following Monday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Adam went down with what appeared to be a significant left leg injury with one out in the top of the seventh inning. It is now understood to be a quad issue, and the right-hander will now be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Adam is likely done for the season, and in his absence, Adrian Morejon may be thrust into a more prominent role in the back end of San Diego's bullpen.

Kittredge (4-3) tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts to earn the win in Monday's 7-6, extra-inning victory over Atlanta.

Kittredge was tasked with working the top of the 10th inning, and he breezed through the frame on 13 pitches. The righty then earned his second win with his new team when Carson Kelly delivered a walk-off hit in the bottom of the 10th. Since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, Kittredge has a 4.15 ERA and 17 strikeouts across 13 innings, and he's settled into a setup role ahead of closer Daniel Palencia.

Gurriel (lower body) was forced to exit Monday's contest against the Rangers in the top of the sixth inning, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Gurriel was hustling to a flyball in left center before awkwardly falling in the top of the sixth inning. Center fielder Blaze Alexander actually came up with the ball on a diving attempt, recording a lineout by Rowdy Tellez to end the frame. After remaining down for a series of moments, Gurriel required a cart to get off the field. He was able to put weight on his feet and get into the cart himself, but it's a rather significant turn of events regardless. More information on his status will likely come in the near future.

Shaw went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a stolen base and an RBI in Monday's 7-6, extra-inning win over Atlanta.

After an encouraging August in which he batted .240 with an .839 OPS and five home runs across 28 games, Shaw got off to a good start in September. The rookie only swiped one base last month, but he's now got 16 steals overall this season in 19 attempts. Shaw continues to exhibit some growing pains as a 23-year-old, though his mix of power and speed gives him plenty of fantasy upside.

Kelly went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Monday's 7-6, extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Kelly played the role of hero Monday, launching his 14th home run of the season in the bottom of the eighth inning with a runner on to tie the game at 6-6. Then, in the bottom of the 10th, the catcher delivered a walk-off RBI single. Kelly came into the contest batting just .152 with a .346 OPS over his previous 10 games, but he's batting a much better .259 with a .793 OPS overall this year.

Happ went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Monday's 7-6, extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Happ extended his hitting streak to six games, and during that time, he's gone 11-for-25 with the stolen base, three home runs, six runs scored and eight RBI. The veteran outfielder has gone deep on consecutive days, pushing him up to 19 home runs for the season. Happ seems to be rounding into form just in time for the Cubs' stretch run, which is a boon for fantasy managers as well.

Farris will start Tuesday's game versus the Royals in Kansas City, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

After having his contract selected from Double-A Rocket City on Monday, Farris will take the hill Tuesday for his MLB debut. The left-hander owns an impressive 28 percent strikeout rate over 116 innings with Rocket City, and he had covered at least six innings in five of his last six outings in the minors, logging a 2.52 ERA and 1.26 WHIP during that stretch. Farris should have the chance to make multiple turns through the Los Angeles rotation in September.

Pagan blew the save in Monday's 5-4 win over Toronto, allowing three runs on three hits and no walks with no strikeouts in one-third of an inning.

It was the second time this year that Pagan served up multiple home runs, and he's now converted only one of his last four save chances. It's worth wondering if the 34-year-old right-hander's hold on the closer role is slipping a bit -- Pagan has a 6.10 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB across his last 10.1 innings. That said, the door could be opening for the likes of Tony Santillan and Scott Barlow to step in for additional save opportunities. Santillan has a 2.13 ERA since the start of August, and Barlow owns a 1.26 ERA over that same stretch.

Adam (leg) was carted off the field in the seventh inning of Monday's contest against the Orioles, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Adam entered the game in the top of the seventh inning with the score tied 3-3, recording one out before surrendering back-to-back singles, the latter of which he suffered a left leg injury during. The right-hander went down in a heap, potentially sustaining the injury on his follow-through. Unfortunately, Adam appears to be facing a substantial absence with a potentially season-ending injury.

Bichette went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Reds.

Bichette amassed at least four hits for the fifth time this season, and the homer was his 17th on the year. After logging a career-worst .599 OPS during an injury-ruined 2024 regular season, Bichette has returned to form as one of fantasy's top shortstops in 2025. The infielder leads MLB in hits (176), and Bichette is batting a scorching .374 with six long balls, 22 doubles and 39 RBI over his last 211 at-bats since the start of July.
