Acuna went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic.

Acuna has gone 4-for-32 (.125) with a 3:13 BB:K and two steals on three attempts over his last eight games. This was just his second game without a strikeout in that span, but his timing at the plate appears to be just a bit off right now. For the season, the star outfielder has struggled more than usual, batting .232 with a .745 OPS, 13 homers, 17 steals, 35 RBI, 44 runs scored, 12 doubles and one triple over 79 contests.

Harris went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic.

Harris restored a two-run lead for Atlanta with his ninth-inning blast. The outfielder had gone all of August without a homer prior to Sunday, though he hit .307 (23-for-75) with nine doubles and a triple during his power drought. For the season, Harris is batting .294 with an .813 OPS, a career-best 21 homers, 71 RBI, 62 runs scored, 30 doubles, one triple and seven stolen bases over 125 contests.

Suzuki went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, three walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Mariners.

Suzuki reached base five times, matching a season high with three runs scored in the blowout victory. The right fielder has been strong at the plate in August, hitting .269/.374/.500 with four homers, 14 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases across 20 contests this month. Overall, Suzuki is slashing .270/.363/.479 with 22 homers, 74 RBI, 74 runs and three stolen bases over 113 games in 2026.

Cox went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Cox connected on a solo homer in the second inning to extend the Giants' lead to 3-0, though the club would ultimately relinquish the advantage. It marked his first RBI since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 14, with the 25-year-old going 5-for-21 (.238) with two extra-base hits and two runs across seven games since rejoining the big-league club. Overall, Cox is slashing .255/.255/.489 with five extra-base hits (two homers), four RBI, seven runs and four stolen bases in 50 plate appearances this season.

Mitchell suffered a right forearm contusion Sunday against Atlanta, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Mitchell was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning, and he was unable to take the field in the top of the fifth. After undergoing additional imaging, the result was determined to be a contusion, and he can be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's day off for Milwaukee.

Mitchell (arm) exited Sunday's contest against Atlanta in the fifth inning after being hit by a pitch, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Mitchell took a 94.4 mph fastball from Tyler Mahle off his right hand/wrist with two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, and although he was able to finish the frame, Luis Lara replaced him in the outfield to open the top of the fifth. Mitchell developed quite the welt on his arm, and the team decided to pull him from the contest. The 27-year-old will likely undergo further evaluation, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Mariners. He also stole a base.

Crow-Armstrong led the offensive attack for the Cubs on a day when they recorded 17 hits and went deep four times. The star outfielder did his part with his 33rd home run of the season in the eighth inning, and he also tallied his 32nd stolen base. Crow-Armstrong has already become the first Chicago player to post consecutive 30-30 campaigns, and he could register his first career 40-40 campaign with a hot finish to the year.

Happ went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, an additional run scored and five total RBI in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Mariners.

Happ had a massive performance as the Cubs rolled to an easy victory. The veteran outfielder got a rest day Saturday, but he went deep in both of his starts over the weekend against Seattle, and he's now up to 22 home runs in 127 games this season. Happ's career high in homers is 25, which he recorded on two different occasions, and he's closing in on that mark in 2026.

Conforto went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Mariners.

Conforto was one of four Chicago players to go deep in the comfortable win. The veteran outfielder now has 11 home runs across 87 games this season to go along with 31 RBI and a .760 OPS. Conforto remains a threat when deployed against right-handed pitching, but his current role is too inconsistent to drive much fantasy value, except for in daily formats whenever he's in the lineup in a favorable matchup.

Merrill went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Twins.

Merrill has gone deep in consecutive games and is up to 21 homers on the year. He's also avoided striking out over his last two games after racking up 20 strikeouts in a 15-game span from Aug. 5-21. The outfielder is now batting .240 with a .707 OPS, 66 RBI, 67 runs scored, 20 doubles, two triples and 24 stolen bases across 128 contests this season.
