DeGrom (10-9) earned the win Monday, allowing a hit and no walks over seven scoreless innings in an 8-1 win over the Athletics. He struck out eight.

Coming off a disastrous eight-run outing last time out, deGrom looked like his peak self, allowing just one hitter to reach base across seven shutout frames. The 38-year-old continues to rack up strikeouts, as he's now punched out eight-plus batters 10 times this season and boasts a 10.9 K/9. DeGrom will take a 4.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 167:37 K:BB across 137.1 innings (26 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Rays.

Pratt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 17-3 loss to the Cubs.

Pratt launched a two-run homer over the left-field fence in the seventh inning, though it had little impact on the result as the Cubs cruised to a blowout victory. It marked the shortstop's first homer since July 25. Through 187 plate appearances, the 22-year-old rookie is slashing .270/.339/.371 with three homers, 22 RBI, 25 runs and 12 stolen bases.

The Astros will recall Blanco from Triple-A Sugar Land to start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander will make his return to the Astros after he had submitted a 7.71 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with 20 strikeouts across 23.1 innings in his five appearances (four starts) before he was demoted to Triple-A on Aug. 16. Blanco was roughed up for 10 earned runs in just 2.1 innings in his most recent start for Sugar Land, so fantasy managers can't stream him with much confidence Tuesday. He could be in line for just a spot start for the Astros while the team looks to build in a day of rest for all members of the rotation.

Seymour (9-6) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing three runs on six hits while striking out 10 without issuing a walk over 6.1 innings.

Seymour generated 19 whiffs on 52 swings while recording his second double-digit strikeout performance of the season. He notched seven of his 10 strikeouts over the first three innings, including coming one pitch away from an immaculate inning in the first. Seymour surrendered a solo homer to Mark Vientos in the seventh before exiting and watching another score from the dugout. He has now delivered a quality start in five of his last eight outings. Despite losing three straight starts, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) across 17 innings, he's racked up 23 strikeouts during that span. Seymour owns a 4.21 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 138:32 K:BB across 113.1 innings heading into his next scheduled start against the Rangers.

Conforto went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run in Monday's 17-3 win over Milwaukee.

With position player Andrew Vaughn pitching, Conforto came off the bench and crushed a three-run homer in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old's playing time is somewhat sporadic, but he's brought some juice with three homers over his past seven contests. Overall, Conforto is hitting .235/.325/.479 with 13 homers, 37 RBI, 29 runs and a stolen base in 246 plate appearances.

Hoerner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.

Hoerner contributed early in the blowout win, launching a solo homer to left field in the first inning. It marked the 29-year-old's first long ball since Aug. 4, as he slashed .287/.309/.333 with eight RBI, seven runs and five stolen bases during the 22-game homer drought. On the year, Hoerner is hitting .263/.319/.362 with eight homers, 62 RBI, 55 runs and 22 stolen bases across 135 contests.

Stock (1-3) earned the win Monday against the Rays, allowing five hits while striking out four over 5.1 scoreless innings.

Stock kept Tampa Bay off the board into the sixth inning en route to his first MLB win since 2019. The 5.1-inning effort marked the deepest start of his major-league career and represented a major bounce-back after he surrendered seven runs to Milwaukee in his previous outing. Across six starts for the Mets this season, Stock owns a 5.88 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB over 26 innings. He's slated to make his next start Monday against the Marlins.

Munoz blew the save Monday against Boston, allowing one run on one hit and no walks in 1.1 innings. He struck out three.

It was a rare instance where Munoz was tasked with recording more than three outs, and he took his fourth blown save in his last 10 outings and ninth of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander endured a rough month of August, posting a 5.56 ERA with five saves in nine chances covering 11 appearances, so he's certainly testing Seattle's trust with him in its closer role.

Harrison (10-4) took the loss Monday, allowing nine runs on 10 hits and two walks over 3.2 innings against the Cubs. He struck out three.

Harrison was thrashed from the get-go, giving up a pair of homers in a four-run first inning and ultimately surrendering five long balls in the disastrous outing. The southpaw will close August with a 5.01 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 23.1 innings (five starts). With an overall 3.45 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 130:29 K:BB over 107 innings (22 starts), Harrison will look to get back on track next time out, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Reds.

Arozarena went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two additional runs scored in Monday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to Boston.

The 31-year-old outfielder racked up a season-high-tying four RBI on Monday, tallying his second four-hit attack of 2026. Arozarena has remained a fantasy stalwart this season, slashing .274/.371/.465 with 21 big flies, 62 RBI, 20 stolen bases and 88 runs scored over 561 plate appearances for his sixth straight 20-homer, 20-steal campaign.
