Yankees' Yerry De Los Santos: Demoted to Triple-A
De Los Santos was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Monday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.
De Los Santos allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings in Monday's contest, so the Yankees will send him down in favor of a fresh arm. Fernando Cruz (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday in a corresponding move.

Drake Baldwin C | ATL
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.

Brandon Woodruff SP | MIL
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.

Bryce Miller SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryce Miller: Not sharp in win
Miller (3-5) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Padres on Monday.
Miller had a terrible second inning, allowing solo shots to Gavin Sheets and Jake Cronenworth and a two-run home run to Fernando Tatis. Other than that, Miller turned in a passable start, though he's still shaking off the rust after missing more than two months due to elbow inflammation. He's allowed eight runs over his last 10 innings while posting an 8:3 K:BB in that span. Overall, he has a 5.98 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 47:26 K:BB through 58.2 innings across 12 starts this season. Miller is projected for a road start in Cleveland this weekend.

Yandy Diaz DH | TB
Rays' Yandy Diaz: Ties career-high homer tally
Diaz went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 9-0 win over Cleveland.
Diaz smashed his 22nd homer of the year, tying the career high he set during the 2023 campaign. The infielder doesn't offer much in the way of speed -- he has three stolen bases in 2025 -- but he's been an excellent four-category fantasy contributor since the start of June. Diaz is hitting .312 with 14 big flies, 40 RBI and 39 runs scored over his last 269 at-bats.

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.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Racking up homers in August
Caminero went 4-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI, two additional runs scored and one stolen base in Monday's 9-0 win over Cleveland.
Caminero pushed his hitting streak up to five games, and he now has four homers over his past four outings. The four-hit game was Caminero's third of the year, and Monday marked his fourth multi-homer effort of the campaign as well. The slugging third baseman is on a tear in August, batting .301 with 12 round-trippers, two doubles, 23 RBI and two steals over his last 83 at-bats.

Colton Cowser CF | BAL
Orioles' Colton Cowser: Continues to heat up with homer
Cowser went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 4-3 loss to Boston.
Cowser extended his hitting streak to six games and clubbed his 12th homer of the year. The outfielder has been pretty productive in the month of August, batting .241 with three doubles, three big flies, nine RBI and one stolen base over his last 54 at-bats. The three-hit game Monday was also Cowser's third of the campaign.

Aroldis Chapman RP | BOS
Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Shuts door for 25th save
Chapman notched the save in Monday's 4-3 win over Baltimore, tossing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.
The All-Star southpaw's spectacular campaign continues, as he's now rattled off 13 consecutive scoreless appearances. Chapman is putting together arguably the best season of his outstanding career, submitting a 1.06 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 71:14 K:BB over 51 innings. He's also successfully converted 25 of his 27 save chances as Boston's closer.

Jarren Duran LF | BOS
Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Swats 13th homer in win
Duran went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Monday's 4-3 win over Baltimore.
The homer was Duran's first since Aug. 4 versus the Royals and his 13th of the season. The month of August has been a quiet one for the 28-year-old outfielder, who posted a potent 1.093 OPS through 23 games in July. Over his last 74 at-bats, Duran is hitting just .216 with five doubles, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored and three stolen bases.
