Adames went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Padres.

Adames went back-to-back with Rafael Devers in the sixth inning for the former's 20th homer of the campaign. Adames' production in August has been a far cry from his output during a prolific July, when he produced a 1.096 OPS across 24 outings. Across 70 at-bats to open this month, the shortstop is batting a paltry .129 with four big flies, six RBI and two stolen bases.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Padres.

That's now six homers during the month for Devers, who also clubbed his 25th of the year Thursday. Devers closed the month of July on a 0-for-14 dry spell at the plate, but he's been far more productive so far in August. Over his last 72 at-bats, the star corner infielder is hitting .250 with two doubles, 10 RBI, 10 runs scored and 11 walks.

Ferrer earned the save in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Mets, allowing one hit and no walks in 1.1 scoreless innings. He struck out three.

Ferrer entered the game with the Nationals nursing a 5-3 lead in the eighth inning, but Washington scored four more runs in the bottom half of the frame to give him a big cushion to work with while recording the final three outs. The 25-year-old southpaw has emerged as the clear favorite for saves following the Kyle Finnegan trade, having now converted each of his four save chances in August. Over his last 18.2 innings, Ferrer sports a 1.93 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB.

Wicks was returned to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Wicks served as the 27th man for the Cubs' doubleheader Tuesday, though he didn't appear in either contest. He's been effective as a starter with Iowa this season, but he has a bloated 9.72 ERA and 2.40 WHIP across 8.1 innings in the majors.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-3 loss to Washington.

Lindor's incredible run continued, as he ran his hitting streak up to nine games and logged multiple knocks for the sixth time during that period. The All-Star shortstop has four homers, four doubles and two stolen bases over these last nine outings, as well. Since the start of August, Lindor is batting a torrid .356 with five long balls, six doubles and 13 RBI covering 73 at-bats.

Doyle went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Thursday's 9-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Doyle blasted his 13th homer of the season, also racking up at least four RBI for the third time this year. The speedy center fielder has been a big disappointment overall following a breakout 2024 campaign -- he has a .683 OPS in 2025 -- but he's working toward closing out another losing season for the Rockies on a high note. Since the All-Star break, Doyle is hitting .395 with six homers, 19 RBI, 16 runs scored and three stolen bases over 86 at-bats.

Freeman went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 9-5 win over Colorado.

The All-Star first baseman extended his hitting streak to six games Thursday, and the homer was his 16th of the year. Freeman slumped a bit back in June and the early part of July, but he's found his groove at the plate over the past month or so. Across his last 33 games (143 plate appearances), Freeman is slashing .323/.399/.540 with six round trippers, nine doubles, 25 RBI and 19 runs scored.

Young exited Thursday's start against Houston with hamstring discomfort, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Young exited in the sixth inning after suffering the injury while covering first base. He was hit hard prior to his exit, allowing seven earned runs on nine hits across 5.1 innings. It is not immediately clear if Young will miss a start or require a stint on the injured list.

Young exited Thursday's start against the Astros after suffering an apparent leg injury, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Young allowed seven earned runs on nine hits and two walks across 5.1 innings prior to his departure and is on the hook for the loss. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, though Young hurt himself while running to cover first base. He was able to walk off the field with trainers.

Buehler could be moved to the bullpen prior to his next scheduled start, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Buehler has struggled with his command all season, but his performance has gone even further downhill of late. He has a 6.5 BB/9 and a 1.72 WHIP across his last five starts, and he's failed to complete at least five innings three times in that span. Richard Fitts would be a candidate to take Buehler's rotation spot, as would Kyle Harrison, Payton Tolle or Connelly Early.
