Carroll went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-5 loss to Milwaukee.

Carroll singled in the first inning to extend a hit streak to a dozen games and then later had a run-scoring single and scored as part of the Diamondbacks' five-run sixth. The outfielder is 15-for-46 (.326) with 11 extra-base hits (four home runs), eight RBI, six steals and 10 runs scored during the streak. He's already established career highs in doubles (24), triples (16) and home runs (27) and is now zeroing in on RBI. He's up to 66 for the season, 10 shy of the career-best mark he had in 2023, when Carroll was named the NL Rookie of the Year.

Gurriel went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Brewers.

Gurriel unloaded a three-run home run in the sixth inning, his 19th big fly and fifth in the last 11 games. It was part of a five-run sixth for the Diamondbacks, who took a while to get their bats going after travel delays forced them to arrive in Milwaukee early Monday morning. Gurriel continued to produce with men on base this month, having knocked in 32 runs in 23 August games. He's up to 80 RBI for the season, four shy of the career-best 84 posted in 2021 when Gurriel played for Toronto.

Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double against the Cardinals in a loss Monday.

Reynolds broke a 1-1 tie with a 432-foot, two-run blast in the third inning. He also had a double in the opening frame, giving him multiple extra-base knocks for the first time since he belted two home runs Aug. 13 against Milwaukee. It's been a solid August for Reynolds, who is slashing .310/.375/.586 with four long balls, 10 doubles, one triple, 14 RBI and 10 runs through 23 games this month.

Pages went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Monday's 7-0 win over the Reds.

Pages was productive in every trip to the plate. His first two plate appearances were home runs, a solo shot in the third inning and a two-run blast in the fifth. He reached on an error in the sixth that allowed two more runs to score, and he added a fourth RBI with his sacrifice fly in the eighth. He's had some struggles in August, batting .235 (19-for-81) with four homers and 11 RBI over 23 games this month, but he hasn't lost playing time. Pages is at a .273/.318/.466 slash line with 23 homers, 75 RBI, 60 runs scored, 21 doubles and 13 stolen bases over 128 contests this season.

Sheets went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 9-6 loss to the Mariners.

Sheets has hit well in limited action this month, batting .333 (11-for-33) with three homers and five doubles over 13 games in August. He's reclaimed a starting role in left field while Ramon Laureano shifts over to center to cover the absence of Jackson Merrill (ankle). Sheets is up to a .256/.319/.451 slash line with 18 homers, 59 RBI, 45 runs scored and two stolen bases across 116 contests, though he's likely to be back in a reserve role once the Padres' outfield is at full health.

Laureano went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-6 loss to the Mariners.

Laureano went deep in the seventh inning, but the Padres weren't able to build more of a comeback effort. The outfielder has hit safely in 11 of his last 13 games, going 17-for-46 (.370) in that span. He's moved over to center field in the absence of Jackson Merrill (ankle). For the year, Laureano has 20 homers, 62 RBI, 59 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .297/.360/.542 slash line through 105 contests between the Padres and the Orioles.

Tatis went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-6 loss to the Mariners.

Tatis hit the Padres' third home run off Bryce Miller in the second inning. This ended a 27-game stretch without a homer for Tatis, who hit .255 with 11 doubles in that span. The outfielder's power has been down this year -- his .433 slugging percentage is the lowest of any year in his career. He's batting .263 with an .805 OPS, 18 homers, 54 RBI, 91 runs scored and 26 stolen bases across 129 contests.

Young went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Monday's 10-5 loss to the Yankees.

The Nationals outfielder finally tallied his first long ball in his 314th plate appearance of the season. Young took New York reliever Mark Leiter deep to right field in the ninth to shave his team's deficit to five runs. With Young stuck in a short-side platoon role, it is difficult to capitalize on his best quality for fantasy -- speed. Overall, the 26-year-old is slashing .231/.302/.282 with 29 runs scored and 24 RBI while going 13-for-23 on stolen base attempts.

Siri (tibia) is expected to report to Single-A St. Lucie on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Siri has been on the shelf since April 17 due to a fractured left tibia, but he's finally gearing up for a return. With the Mets having acquired Cedric Mullins at the trade deadline to serve as their primary center fielder and with the Tyrone Taylor still available to fill in for Mullins against left-handed pitching, the Mets likely won't be in much of a rush to bring the right-handed-hitting Siri back from the 60-day injured list.

Scott (ankle) has been hitting and hopes to progress with his outfield work later this week, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

The Cardinals have not revealed a timetable for Scott's return, but it does not seem as though he will be back before the end of August. Scott has been sidelined for the last week-plus with a sprained left ankle. Nathan Church has been seeing most of the action in center field since Scott went down.
