Quero went 2-for-4 with three RBI on Sunday against the Twins.

Quero has started every other game across the last 10 days, forming an impressive duo with Kyle Teel behind the plate. The sporadic playing time makes it difficult to count on Quero for fantasy production, but he has delivered when in the lineup. In 14 games during August, he has gone 15-for-49 with one homer, eight RBI and four runs scored.

Teel went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Twins.

Teel delivered RBI singles in each of the first two innings, continuing his tear at the plate. He's gone 11-for-23 with two homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored across his last six games. Teel has moved up in the White Sox's order as a result of his hot streak, as he's hit third in four of his last five starts and served as the leadoff hitter on the fifth occasion.

Smith went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Sunday against the Orioles.

Smith has seen his playing time slip against right-handed pitching, though he was in the lineup Sunday with Trevor Rogers on the mound. While it was a peoductive day, Smith wasn't able to end his hitless streak, and he now has failed to tally a hit in five straight starts and seven of his last eight. Smith has had a streaky rookie season, and he could see his playing time continue to decline in the final month of the campaign.

Pena went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Sunday against the Orioles.

Pena recorded hits in each of his first two at-bats, the latter of which was an RBI single. He was then awarded third base due to an engagement violation, accounting for his 18th stolen base of the year. While a long stint on the injured list in July has muted his counting stats, Pena has a chance to reach 20 home runs for the first time since his rookie season and has a career-best .842 OPS across 432 plate appearances.

Williams went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored Sunday against the Cardinals.

Williams made his second big-league start and continued to flash his fantasy upside. After homering in his debut, Williams tallied his first steal and has attempted a stolen base in each of his first two contests. His ability to make consistent contact remains a concern, but there is considerable power and speed intrigue in his profile that has already been on display.

Santana allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning Sunday against the Rockies.

Santana entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a four-run lead. He allowed a double and a walk with two outs but managed to turn in his sixth consecutive scoreless outing. Santana briefly struggled after taking over the closer role, but he has converted four of his last five save chances while striking out eight across his last 10 appearances.

Skenes (8-9) picked up the win Sunday against the Rockies, allowing three hits and no walks across seven scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Skenes got his revenge from an Aug. 2 start against Colorado, when he yielded four runs in five innings. Sunday's outing pulled Skenes out of what could be considered a rough patch for the 23-year-old phenom, as he had yielded six runs in 10 innings across his past two appearances. Skenes has logged seven or more Ks in four of his last five starts. He'll take a 2.07 ERA into his next start, which is slated to come in Boston next weekend.

Brown (0-1) took the loss Sunday against Pittsburgh, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

The 25-year-old was recalled from Double-A Hartford to make his MLB debut Sunday, and he was hit hard by the Pirates. Brown surrendered a pair of extra-base hits, including a three-run home run by Jared Triolo. Brown posted a 3.14 ERA and a 57:13 K:BB across 43 innings with Hartford. German Marquez (biceps) is nearing a return, but if Marquez isn't ready to go, Brown would likely draw another start next weekend against the Cubs.

Triolo went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run and a stolen base during Sunday's 4-0 win over the Rockies.

Triolo has homered in back-to-back games, a streak that immediately followed a homer drought that lasted over two months and spanned 85 at-bats. Sunday's long ball was Triolo's fifth of the season, and his stolen base put his season total at nine. Triolo has a hit in each of his last five games, going 8-for-17 (.471) with four extra-base hits during that stretch.

Pepiot (9-10) picked up the win Sunday against St. Louis, allowing one hit and one walk across five scoreless innings. He struck out three.

Pepiot had no issues with the Cardinals' lineup, allowing just two baserunners in five innings of work. Surprisingly, he was pulled after five innings and 63 pitches. An injury hasn't been reported, so it seems as though the Rays are limiting his innings in the closing stages of the regular season. Pepiot has thrown a career-high 153 innings in 2025, topping his previous high of 130 innings set last season. The 28-year-old hadn't thrown fewer than 84 pitches in an appearance since June 27. He had allowed 17 runs across four starts spanning 21.2 innings before Sunday's outing. Pepiot is lined up to face the Nationals next weekend.
