  • Sal Frelick RF | MIL

    Brewers' Sal Frelick: Taking seat Sunday

    Frelick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    After starting the last three games, Frelick will join Christian Yelich and Brice Turang on the bench as Milwaukee leans heavily on right-handed bats to counter Mets southpaw Sean Manaea. Brandon Lockridge will spell Frelick in right field and bat eighth.

  • Jakob Marsee CF | MIA

    Marlins' Jakob Marsee: Getting day off in series finale

    Marsee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    For the first time since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Aug. 1, Marsee will have a seat with Atlanta sending lefty Joey Wentz to the hill. Derek Hill will cover center field in place of Marsee, who has gotten off to a blazing start to his MLB career by slashing .448/.568/.793 to go with one home run, five stolen bases, six runs and six RBI through his first 10 games.

  • Jake Fraley RF | TB

    Reds' Jake Fraley: Losing work to Marte

    Fraley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    The Reds have faced exclusively right-handed starting pitchers in their four-game series in Pittsburgh, but the left-handed-hitting Fraley has still found himself on the bench for three of those contests. Fraley appears to have moved into a part-time role while Noelvi Marte has become the primary option in right field after trade-deadline pickup Ke'Bryan Hayes displaced him at third base.

  • Heliot Ramos RF | NYY

    Giants' Heliot Ramos: Tallies two hits in loss

    Ramos went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Washington.

    Ramos singled in the third inning and added another base hit in the eighth before coming around to score. The 25-year-old outfielder has delivered four multi-hit performances in his last six games, slashing .400/.483/.400 with five runs scored, an RBI and a 4:3 BB:K across 29 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .274/.349/.417 with 62 runs scored, 51 RBI, 14 home runs and six stolen bases across 507 plate appearances in 115 games.

  • Kyle Tucker RF | LAD

    Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Scores twice, swipes base Saturday

    Tucker went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Cardinals. He also stole a base.

    Tucker, who recently downplayed the impact a lingering finger injury has had on his swing, still has just one home run since the All-Star break. However, the talented outfielder was productive Saturday all the same. Tucker's fantasy ceiling is a bit lower if he's not leaving the yard consistently, but he can still deliver in other ways, including on the bases, as he now has 24 stolen bases this season in 26 attempts. His career high is 30 steals, which he recorded back in 2023 with the Astros.

  • James Wood RF | WAS

    Nationals' James Wood: Launches homer No. 25

    Wood went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

    The young outfielder took Carson Whisenhunt deep for a solo shot in the first inning, the first of three Washington long balls on the afternoon. Wood snapped a 21-game power drought with the blast, a stretch in which he'd slashed a miserable .113/.211/.150 with a 42.2 percent strikeout rate. While that slump dragged his numbers down, on the season Wood still has 25 homers, 14 steals, 64 runs and 73 RBI in 114 contests with an .841 OPS.

  • Jakob Marsee CF | MIA

    Marlins' Jakob Marsee: Tallies three thefts Saturday

    Marsee went 3-for-6 with a double, two walks, a run, an RBI and three stolen bases across both contests of a doubleheader against Atlanta on Saturday.

    Marsee started in center field in the early game and went a quiet 1-for-4. He shifted over to left field for the nightcap and was much more productive, reaching base in all four of his plate appearances, including with an RBI double in the fourth inning. The speedy rookie also swiped three bags in the loss, more than doubling the amount (two) he logged through his first eight big-league contests. Marsee has made an immediate impact since being called up from Triple-A on Aug. 1, slashing .448/.568/.793 with a home run, five doubles, a triple, five steals, six runs and six RBI through 10 games.

  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Registers two steals

    Tatis went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

    Tatis had gone nine games without a multi-hit performance. His pair of thefts Saturday also marked his first successful steal attempts since July 18 versus the Nationals. The outfielder is now at a .259/.361/.429 slash line, 17 home runs, 24 steals, 45 RBI, 80 runs scored, 19 doubles and two triples over 114 contests. He's been in a lower gear since mid-June, but he still offers enough category coverage to be a fixture in most fantasy lineups.

  • Braves' Michael Harris: Racks up four hits across twin bill

    Harris went a combined 4-for-8 with a home run, a double, a stolen base, two total runs and three total RBI in Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Marlins.

    Harris tallied a pair of hits in each contest, though the biggest damage came in Game 1, when he belted a three-run homer. The 24-year-old continued what has been a scorching second half -- since the All-Star break, he's batting .352 with five homers, five doubles, three triples, nine RBI and 13 runs over 21 games. Harris had a .551 OPS in the first half, but he's pushed that mark up to .645 with his extended hot stretch.

  • Brenton Doyle CF | CHW

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Lifts homer in loss

    Doyle went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Doyle is up to nine homers on the year, including two over seven games in August. He's hit safely in six of those contests, though just two have been multi-hit efforts. The outfielder continues to occupy a starting role despite batting .229 with a .629 OPS across 96 games this season, though he's added 36 RBI, 41 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.
