Bo Bichette SS | TOR
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Enjoys huge game in Colorado
Bichette went 3-for-6 with two home runs and six RBI in a 15-1 rout of the Rockies on Monday.
Bichette quietly gave the Blue Jays an early lead with a run-scoring single in the first inning. His remaining two knocks were much louder -- he belted a 413-foot, two run homer in the third inning and added a 434-foot, three-run blast in the seventh. Bichette has been red-hot during the second half of the campaign, batting .385 with 21 RBI through 18 contests. However, Monday's outburst stood out in that it included two home runs; prior to the performance, he had gone deep just once over his previous 23 contests.

Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Reaches base twice
Kim went 1-for-3 with a walk Monday against the Angels.

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Homers, plates season-high four
Arias went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Mets.
The homer was Arias' eighth of the season, and his four RBI set a season high as well. The 25-year-old infielder has been impressive at the plate in a limited sample size since coming off the injured list, which could help him eventually work his way up the batting order. Arias is hitting .290 with two big flies, two doubles, seven RBI and one stolen base over his last 31 at-bats (eight games).

Jeremy Pena SS | HOU
Astros' Jeremy Pena: Rips pair of doubles in win
Pena went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, one RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-2 win at Miami.
The Houston shortstop occupied his usual leadoff spot and cracked a couple of two-baggers off Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara to reach the 20-double mark for the fourth consecutive season. Since returning from a rib injury Aug. 1, Pena has gone 5-for-13 across three contests. Through 85 total games and 364 plate appearances, the 27-year-old is now slashing .324/.380/.491 with 11 homers, 49 runs scored and 41 RBI while going 15-for-17 on steal attempts.

Franyerber Montilla SS | DET
Tigers' Franyerber Montilla: Done for season with ACL tear
Single-A Lakeland placed Montilla on its full-season injured list Monday after he recently sustained a torn ACL, Lynn G. Henning of The Detroit News reports.
Lenning relays that Montilla suffered the injury in an infield collision, resulting in the 20-year-old's placement on Lakeland's 7-day IL on July 21. Before getting hurt, Montilla slashed .270/.367/.390 with three home runs and 29 stolen bases in 300 plate appearances for Lakeland on the season. Since he'll require surgery to address the torn ligament in his knee, Montilla's absence is likely to stretch into the 2026 season.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Ends power drought
Neto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a two-RBI double during Sunday's 8-5 win over the White Sox.
Neto had gone 17 consecutive games without a round tripper, a dry spell that tied his season long, before tagging Sean Burke for a solo shot in the sixth frame Sunday. The performance marked Neto's first game since June 24 with multiple RBI. In his last 10 games, Neto is 10-for-37 (.270) with nine RBI and three runs scored.
