Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Yankees.

The star first baseman produced the game's first run when he took Cam Schlittler deep in the seventh inning. Olson is up to 34 homers on the season, tied for third in the majors with the Rockies' Hunter Goodman and just one back of the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber and the Astros' Yordan Alvarez, and seven of them have come in his last 12 games -- a stretch in which the Atlanta slugger boasts a .289/.347/.822 slash line with nine RBI and 11 runs.

Steer (wrist) is scheduled to have a splint removed from his right wrist Monday, MLB.com reports.

Once the split is gone, Steer can begin mobility exercises with his hand and wrist. He'll be re-evaluated soon after to determine where the wrist is at in the healing process. Steer could rejoin the team in September.

Burleson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.

Burleson led off the fifth inning by jumping on the first pitch he saw from Michael Lorenzen for his 19th home run of the season, surpassing his total from a season ago. The outfielder has now gone deep four times through eight August games, though his previous three all came during his offensive explosion against the Yankees on August 3. Burleson continues to put together a strong campaign, slashing .283/.349/.478 with 28 doubles, one triple, 78 RBI, 63 runs scored and three stolen bases across 117 games.

Sheets went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

Sheets hadn't homered since June 30 versus the Cubs. During the 31-game power drought, he hit just .155 (13-for-84) with two doubles, five RBI and a 16:14 BB:K. The 30-year-old's slump, combined with the signing of Austin Hays on Sunday, could lead to Sheets losing some playing time, though he's still in the mix at first base, designated hitter and left field. Overall, Sheets is batting .214 with a .713 OPS, 15 homers, 44 RBI, 44 runs scored, 15 doubles and four stolen bases over 110 contests.

The Brewers promoted Burke from Double-A Biloxi to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Burke has had a remarkable season with Double-A Biloxi, slashing .285/.367/.603 with 30 home runs and 28 steals in 96 games. The 23-year-old has shown impressive power throughout his entire professional career since the Brewers selected him 34th overall in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, and if he maintains a similar level of production with Nashville, he could have a shot at making his MLB debut early in 2027.

Busch went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Royals.

Busch enjoyed a nice weekend series against Kansas City, going 6-for-12 with a walk and two runs scored across three games. It continues a good stretch of play this month for the first baseman, who is now sporting an .857 OPS with a home run, four runs scored and five RBI in nine August contests. Busch isn't quite matching last year's breakout campaign, but he's remained a solid fantasy contributor in 2026.

Stowers was removed from Sunday's game against the Angels in the fifth inning due to left hamstring discomfort, Craig Mish of Marlins.tv reports. He went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored before departing.

Stowers appeared to tweak his hamstring while running out of the batter's box on an RBI single in the fifth. After reaching first base, Stowers appeared to be in pain before limping to the dugout and getting replaced by a pinch hitter. Stowers previously opened the season on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, though that injury was to his right leg. The Marlins will presumably send Stowers in for an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury.

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

After starting the past three games, the left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench while southpaw Sean Manaea toes the rubber for the Mets. Rafael Flores will replace Horwitz at first base and bat seventh.

Vaughn will start at third base and bat third in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Vaughn has previously logged 10 total innings at third base across six games this season, but Sunday he'll make his first start at the position since 2021. He won't be a regular option at the hot corner, but David Hamilton is needed at shortstop with Joey Ortiz (neck) and Cooper Pratt (hamstring) both unavailable.

Chaparro went 2-for-2 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored during Saturday's 8-2 win over the Reds.

Chaparro pinch hit for Jose Tena in the sixth inning, and the former answered the call by smacking a two-run double to left field before coming home to score in the same frame. Chaparro added an RBI single and a run in the eighth, and it was the third time this season that he's recorded at least three RBI in a game, all of which have come since the All-Star break.
