Bratt allowed two runs on eight hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Monday.

This was the longest of Bratt's three starts in the majors so far. He allowed a pair of solo home runs and no additional extra-base hits. The southpaw has a 5.06 ERA and 7:6 K:BB through his first 10.2 innings in the majors, so he has some work to do before he can be trusted in fantasy. Bratt is tentatively projected to make his next start on the road versus the Nationals.

Holton picked up the save in Monday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Cubs. He allowed one unearned run on two hits and no walks with no strikeouts over one inning.

After closer Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth inning to force an extra inning, Holton was called upon to finish things off in the 10th frame. Entering with a three-run lead, the southpaw allowed the automatic runner to score and brought the winning run to the plate with two outs, but he induced a weak groundout from Carson Kelly to secure his first save of the season. Holton has been a reliable middle reliever in 2026, posting a 3.05 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 37:10 K:BB with nine holds across 44.1 innings.

Pratt went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in an 8-3 victory versus the Mets on Monday.

Pratt achieved a career milestone in the second inning when he crushed a 393-foot solo shot to center field for his first major-league homer. The rookie shortstop didn't stop there, adding a pair of singles and tacking on his seventh steal of the season. Pratt now has five multi-hit efforts across his past nine games and is batting an even .400 (12-for-30) over that span. He's not projected to be a big power bat, but Pratt has been contributing enough with his speed, plate discipline and defense to have a stranglehold on a near-everyday role at shortstop for Milwaukee.

McNeil went 1-for-1 with two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

McNeil hit for Alika Williams in the seventh inning and delivered a two-run single to restore the Athletics' lead. The veteran utility man has had to settle for a part-time role for much of the season. He's hitting .269 (7-for-26) over 11 contests in July. Overall, McNeil is batting .236 with a .610 OPS, three home runs, 30 RBI, 26 runs scored, 11 doubles and two steals over 88 contests.

Peralta (5-9) took the loss against Milwaukee on Monday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings.

Peralta fell behind quickly, giving up two runs on two hits and a walk in the first inning. He gave up three more runs across his next two frames and then watched from the dugout as two additional runs were charged to him following his departure in the sixth. The veteran righty did manage to complete five innings for the first time in his past four starts, but that's small consolation given that the seven earned runs were the second-most he's given up in an outing this season. It's been a rough first campaign in New York for Peralta, as his 5.01 ERA is fourth-worst among qualified big-league hurlers.

White went 4-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

This was White's first multi-hit effort, coming in his third career game. The infield prospect is getting a chance to play steadily while Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee) are out. White batted .303 with an .834 OPS over 55 games for Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his call-up coming out of the All-Star break. The Athletics' infield is a bit crowded when everyone's healthy, so it'll be up to White to force his way into the lineup on a consistent basis.

Taillon did not factor into the decision of Monday's extra-inning loss, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Tigers. He struck out six.

Making his first start since June 7 after landing on the injured list with a left hamstring strain, Taillon was ambushed early, allowing all four runs in the first inning on back-to-back homers by Riley Greene and Dillon Dingler. It has been a challenging season for Taillon, as after posting an ERA below 4.00 and winning at least 10 games in each of the past two regular seasons, the veteran right-hander has stumbled to a 2-5 record with a 5.38 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 65:25 K:BB across 72 innings (14 starts) in 2026. His next outing is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Pirates.

Wilson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Wilson has six multi-hit efforts during his eight-game hitting streak. He's also homered in two of his last three contests, supplying four RBI in that span. The shortstop is batting .292 on the year and has added a .738 OPS, six homers, 30 RBI, 29 runs scored, 10 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 60 games.

Harris allowed a hit and a walk while striking out three in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Harris hadn't converted a save since June 12, and he had blown his two most recent chances. Over his last eight outings, he's gotten back on track, giving up one run on five hits and four walks while adding 17 strikeouts. He has seven saves in 11 chances as well as 10 holds as he continues to fill a high-leverage role in the Athletics' late-inning committee. Harris has added a 3.30 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 60:28 K:BB through 43.2 innings, adding some tantalizing strikeout upside despite the obvious risks involved with his 5.8 BB/9 and a hitter-friendly home park.

Misiorowski allowed an unearned run over four innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Monday, allowing four hits and walking one batter while striking out six.

Misiorowski hadn't pitched since July 7 coming into Monday, as a bout of arm fatigue resulted in him missing his final scheduled start before the All-Star break. The flamethrowing righty put up great numbers in his return to the mound against New York, yielding just an unearned run and notching 16 whiffs, but he was pulled after 65 pitches. Manager Pat Murphy said prior to the contest that the team was planning to shorten some of Misiorowski's starts in the second half, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and Murphy also said after the contest that the hurler was "a little bit out of it" and affected by the long layoff while also suggesting that Misiorowski didn't quite have his legs under him, according to Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee. The good news is that Misiorowski's arm didn't seem to be the issue, but it sounds like the All-Star pitcher will be carefully monitored by Milwaukee moving forward.
