Cubs' Michael Conforto: Clubs homer off bench
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.

Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Lifts eighth homer
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.

Cubs' Clay Holmes: Stellar in sixth win
Holmes (6-6) earned the win Monday, allowing five hits and two walks over six scoreless innings against the Brewers. He struck out eight.
Provided with ample run support, Holmes was locked in on the mound, putting together a scoreless outing for the second straight start. Since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, the right-hander has posted a 1.55 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB across 29 innings (five starts). Overall, he owns a 2.09 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 63:27 K:BB over 81.2 innings (14 starts) and is tentatively scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Marlins.

Cubs' Matt Shaw: Hits first home run since return
Shaw went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.
Playing all nine innings for the first time since returning from the injured list Friday, Shaw also hit his first home run since June and just his fifth of the season. The 24-year-old missed two months due to a sprained left hand, but now that he's back, he gives the Cubs a versatile option to use across the field. Shaw's playing time may be too inconsistent to move the needle for fantasy managers in the short term, however.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Homers in three-hit game
Kelly went 3-for-5 with a walk, a solo home run and two total RBI in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers
Kelly hit one of nine Chicago home runs in the rout, launching his 10th long ball of the season in the seventh inning. The veteran Chicago catcher has now recorded double figures in homers in consecutive seasons for the first time in his MLB career. Kelly has largely held off Miguel Amaya for the starting role with the Cubs, and he's been a fairly solid offensive backstop for fantasy managers the last two years.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Keeps rolling Monday
Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers
Suzuki had a rare 0-for-5 game Sunday, but he got right back into the groove Monday. The outfielder recorded his third three-hit effort across his last four contests, and he finishes August batting .303 with a sharp .957 OPS in 27 games. With a prime spot in the heart of a potent Chicago lineup, Suzuki should remain one of the top offensive performers in fantasy baseball during the stretch run.

Cubs' Tyrone Taylor: Posts huge line in rout
Taylor went 4-for-6 with a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.
Taylor may have been a bit overshadowed by Alex Bregman, who recorded his second three-homer game of the month, but he still posted a great line in the easy win. The veteran outfielder has been outstanding for the Cubs since coming over at the trade deadline, as he now has a .409/.460/.545 slash line across 18 games with his new team. Taylor even batted cleanup Monday against Milwaukee lefty starter Kyle Harrison, so he appears to be earning a prominent role in Chicago.

Cubs' Alex Bregman: Blasts off three times again Monday
Bregman went 3-for-6 with three home runs and four total RBI in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.
Bregman wrapped up a strong month with another monster performance. The veteran third baseman matched his career high of three home runs in a game, tying the mark he set just 19 days ago. Overall in August, Bregman recorded 12 long balls and 30 RBI while posting a robust 1.025 OPS across 28 contests. The 32-year-old's slow start to his first campaign with the Cubs feels like a distant memory at this point, and Bregman appears poised to be an offensive force in the final month of the regular season.

Cubs' Justin Steele: Starting rehab assignment Wednesday
Steele will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Steele has managed to successfully toss several bullpen sessions, proving that he's ready to progress to facing live hitters. He'll presumably need to make at least a few appearances in the minors before being activated from the 60-day injured list, at which point he would likely provide support for the Cubs out of the bullpen considering he won't have enough time to build back up to a starter's workload.

Cubs' Pedro Ramirez: Dealing with back spasms
Ramirez isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers due to back spasms, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Ramirez is hitting .333 with two runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored over his last seven games, but he'll be held out Monday with the back issue. It remains to be seen whether he'll be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup.

Cubs' Michael Conforto: Idle versus lefty
Conforto is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
With southpaw Kyle Harrison toeing the slab for Milwaukee, the left-handed-hitting Conforto will head to the bench. Miguel Amaya will take over Conforto's spot as the Cubs' designated hitter and will bat eighth.

Cubs' Pedro Ramirez: Exiting starting nine Monday
Ramirez is out of the lineup for Monday's matchup with the Brewers.
Ramirez will get the night off after he had started in each of the last 14 contests. Matt Shaw will fill in for Ramirez at second base and will bat ninth.

Cubs' Ian Happ: On bench Monday
Happ is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against Milwaukee.
Happ is batting just .157 with a 35.1 percent strikeout rate against left-handed pitchers this season, so the Cubs will keep him on the bench while southpaw Kyle Harrison takes the hill for the Brewers. He'll cede left field to Tyrone Taylor, who will bat out of the cleanup spot.

Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Fades in 10th loss
Imanaga (8-10) took the loss Sunday, allowing six runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings against the Reds. He struck out four.
Imanaga spun three scoreless innings before everything fell apart in the fourth and fifth frames, when he surrendered six runs via three homers. In five August starts, the southpaw posted a 5.96 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB across 22.2 innings. The 32-year-old will take a 4.01 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 148:35 K:BB across 150.1 innings (27 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Friday against the Marlins.

Cubs' Ian Happ: Tallies two hits, two runs Sunday
Happ went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Reds.
Happ recorded his fourth multi-hit performance in his last nine games, and during that stretch, he's batting .323 with three home runs, eight runs scored and 10 RBI. Overall, Happ is sporting a .750 OPS with 23 long balls, 61 RBI and 80 runs scored this season. The 32-year-old remains a steady performer for fantasy managers, as he rarely misses games and delivers similar offensive production every year.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Continues power surge Sunday
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Reds.
A night after going deep three times, Crow-Armstrong led off Sunday's contest with his 37th home run of the season, and he added his 38th long ball in the ninth inning for good measure. That's already a new career best for the 24-year-old superstar, and with 32 stolen bases this year as well, he could be approaching his first 40-40 campaign. Crow-Armstrong's stellar performance has positioned him as a top contender for National League MVP, with Shohei Ohtani looming as his likely top competition for the award. Crow-Armstrong has been particularly dynamic in August with 14 home runs and a 1.098 OPS in 27 games this month.
