Bellinger went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and a second run scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over the White Sox.

Bellinger is swinging a hot bat with a homer in consecutive games and five multi-hit efforts over his last six contests. He's 12-for-22 (.545) in that longer span. On the year, the outfielder is up to a .283/.336/.511 slash line with 26 homers, 81 RBI, 75 runs scored, 22 doubles, five triples and 11 stolen bases over 124 contests. He is on pace to exceed the 30-homer mark for the first time since his 47-homer season in 2019.

Warren (8-6) allowed four unearned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win over the White Sox on Thursday.

An Anthony Volpe error in the second inning ultimately led to a Miguel Vargas grand slam. Those were all the runs on Warren's line, and they were all unearned, leading to no damage on his ERA, though he was limited to five innings and 93 pitches (51 strikes). It's an improvement on Warren's last two starts, when he failed to reach the five-inning mark altogether. He's allowed 12 runs (six earned) across 13.2 innings over his last three outings. On the season, he has a 4.30 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 149:60 K:BB through 136 innings over 28 starts. The right-hander is projected for a road start versus Houston next week.

Martin allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Thursday.

Martin gave up a two-run home run to Cody Bellinger in the first inning and yielded a solo shot to Jazz Chisholm in the second. The Yankees continued to give Martin trouble, and while he didn't yield any additional runs, his pitch count got up early and he was pulled at 81 pitches (50 strikes). This was the first time he's failed to complete four innings all year and just the second time in 21 appearances (20 starts) he's fallen short of five frames. The right-hander has a 4.03 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 85:38 K:BB through 116 innings. His numbers don't pop off the page, but he's been a reliable innings-eater for the White Sox. He's projected to make his next start at Minnesota.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with one run scored in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

This was Lindor's 10th multi-hit effort in his last 15 games, a span in which he's batting .455 (30-for-66). All three of his hits were singles Thursday, and he has a modest nine extra-base hits (four home runs, five doubles) during that hot stretch. The shortstop is up to a .269/.336/.457 slash line with 25 homers, 27 doubles, 24 stolen bases, 73 RBI and 91 runs scored over 132 contests this season.

Romero allowed one hit and no walks with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning for the save Thursday against Pittsburgh.

Romero picked up his fifth save of the season, and each of which have come following the trade of Ryan Helsley. Riley O'Brien worked a clean eighth inning for a hold, and Romero should continue sharing ninth-inning work with O'Brien based on matchups to finish out the campaign. Romero owns a 2.25 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB over 48 innings in 2025.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a second run scored in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

Alonso is the 10th player in the majors to reach the 30-homer mark this season. He's one of two players to have at least 30 homers and 30 doubles, joining the Angels' Taylor Ward. Alonso has hit eight of his long balls and eight of his 34 doubles over 25 games in August, batting .295 (31-for-105) this month. He's hitting .267 with an .862 OPS, 108 RBI, 72 runs scored and one stolen base across 134 games on the year.

Holmes allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Thursday.

Holmes gave up the opening run on a sacrifice fly in the first inning, and it was his own two-out error that allowed the Marlins to build a rally in the third. Holmes has given up 14 runs (12 earned) over 25 innings across his five starts in August, adding a 20:10 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's at a decent 3.60 ERA but with a 1.31 WHIP and lackluster 111:56 K:BB through 142.1 innings across 27 starts. Holmes will get an extra day of rest thanks to Jonah Tong's major-league debut Friday, but it's unclear if the Mets will stick with a six-man rotation across multiple turns. Holmes' next start is projected to be a tough matchup in Detroit, but he could be a candidate for the bullpen if his struggles continue in September.

Walker went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Thursday's 4-3 win over Colorado.

Walker delivered his first multi-homer game of the season, and he continues to provide healthy production since the start of July. Over his last 200 plate appearances, the slugging first baseman is slashing .279/.345/.514 with 11 long balls, nine doubles and 37 RBI. Walker also has at least one hit in six of his last seven outings.

Faucher struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Faucher took care of business on a tidy seven pitches (six strikes) to secure his second save in as many outings. It's been an uneven August for the right-hander -- he's taken two losses while adding three saves and a hold, and he's given up four runs (two earned) over 10 innings. On the year, he's 13-for-18 in save chances with six holds, a 3.35 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB through 51 innings. Faucher looks to still have the edge over Ronny Henriquez for save chances, though the Marlins haven't produced a lot of those opportunities this month.

Abreu notched the save Thursday against Colorado, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

Abreu secured his fourth save of the year and extended his scoreless streak to 13 innings. With Josh Hader (shoulder) likely to be out until the playoffs, Abreu has established a fairly strong grip on Houston's closer gig. The veteran right-hander has a 1.47 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 93:25 K:BB over 61.1 innings.
