Dingler went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 11-2 loss to the Cubs.

Dingler hit his deep fly in garbage time with the Tigers down 11-0 in the top of the ninth inning, but fantasy managers don't care when the power arrives. The slugging catcher also went deep twice Monday, and he's now up to 22 home runs overall. Dingler is tied for second at his position in homers with Shea Langeliers, and Hunter Goodman is leading the way among catchers with 31 long balls.

Tatis went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

Tatis fell a triple shy of the cycle and smacked a two-run blast in the eighth inning. Through five games to open the second half, he has tallied three multi-hit efforts with three home runs and nine RBI. For the year, he's slashing .286/.349/.403 with eight homers, 44 RBI, 51 runs scored and 25 steals across 439 plate appearances.

Peterson (5-7) notched the win over Detroit on Tuesday, allowing three hits and issuing one walk while striking out four batters over 6.2 scoreless innings.

Peterson was sharp, yielding just one extra-base hit and four total baserunners. He retired 11 straight batters in one stretch and completed six frames for the first time this season. Peterson has won two of his four starts since joining Chicago in late June, and he's given up two runs or fewer in three of those outings, though the lone exception was a 10-run, 3.2-inning blowup against St. Louis. The veteran lefty has shown enough to hold down a spot in the rotation at least until some of the Cubs' injured starters get healthy, and he's lined up to make his next start on the road against the Cardinals.

Civale allowed two runs on four hits across 2.1 innings of relief in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Tigers. He walked two and struck out two.

After a brief stint with the Cubs last season, Civale made his 2026 team debut in a fairly low-pressure situation, as he entered the game staked to a 9-0 lead. The righty continued his mediocre stretch of play as he saw his ERA climb to 5.49 to go along with a 1.65 WHIP across 77 innings this year. Civale was traded to Chicago on Saturday as some veteran depth, and he's not likely to have a ton of fantasy value the rest of the way.

Machado went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

Machado homered off Reynaldo Lopez in the fifth inning and then JR Ritchie in the sixth. The 34-year-old went 0-for-9 in his first three games back from the All-Star break but looks to be heating up again, going deep three times during consecutive two-hit efforts. For the year, he's slashing .204/.294/.433 with 22 homers, 59 RBI, 50 runs scored and two steals across 413 plate appearances.

Conforto went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Tigers.

Conforto got an opportunity against Detroit righty Brenan Hanifee in the fifth inning, and he made the most of it. The veteran outfielder now has nine home runs on the season, with seven of those coming against righties. Conforto continues to see sporadic playing time in right field with Matt Shaw (hand) on the injured list, and he generally hits the bench against southpaws.

Fortes went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Fortes launched a three-run shot in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the ninth. The home run was the 29-year-old's second in as many games, and he's now driven in six runs while hitting safely in three straight contests. On the season, he's slashing .266/.308/.369 with four homers, 25 RBI and 27 runs scored across 239 plate appearances.

Suzuki went 0-for-3 with three walks, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Tigers.

Despite snapping his nine-game hitting streak, Suzuki still managed to reach base multiple times for the seventh time in his last 10 contests. The outfielder had a delayed start to his regular season due to an injury he sustained during the World Baseball Classic, but he's once again settled in as one of Chicago's offensive leaders. Suzuki is now sporting a robust .832 OPS, and this would be his fourth straight year with an OPS north of .800.

DeLuca went 2-for-6 with three RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Blue Jays.

DeLuca opened the scoring with a two-run single in the first inning before driving in another run with a base hit in the fourth. The 28-year-old has now logged three straight two-hit efforts, tallying six RBI with two extra-base hits and a steal during that span. On the season, he's slashing .261/.295/.435 with six homers, 31 RBI, 24 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 195 plate appearances.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-2 with three walks, one triple, one run and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Tigers.

Crow-Armstrong tied his season high in walks and also matched a season best by reaching base five times overall. After a somewhat slow start to the season, the dynamic center fielder has caught fire since the beginning of June. Crow-Armstrong is batting .350 with 13 stolen bases, 14 home runs, 29 RBI and 33 runs scored across his last 41 games. His combination of speed and power makes him an elite fantasy option, especially when he's getting on base so frequently.
