  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in four-hit game

    Perdomo went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox.

    Perdomo's bat had gone a little quiet over the previous week -- he was just 3-for-29 across his previous seven games. The shortstop started the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning and added an RBI single in the eighth to help fend off the Red Sox's late push. Perdomo is up to a .287/.385/.452 slash line with 17 homers, 90 RBI, 88 runs scored and 24 stolen bases over 141 contests in an excellent breakout campaign at age 25.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Goes yard in easy win

    Adames went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI on Friday in an 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

    Adames clobbered his 27th long ball of the season, which brings him closer to recording his third 30-homer campaign in the past four years. The slugging shortstop posted a .636 OPS through the end of June, but he's been a high-end fantasy producer ever since. Since the start of July, Adames is slashing .261/.345/.565 with 18 big flies, 42 RBI, 41 runs scored and four stolen bases over his last 238 plate appearances to boost his OPS to .745 for the year.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Launches 22nd home run

    Swanson went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and a stolen base in Friday's 11-5 win over the Nationals.

    Swanson now has four home runs in his last eight games and 22 for the season. That puts him five behind his career high of 27 long balls, which he recorded back in 2021 while playing for Atlanta. Swanson is also up to 70 RBI on the year, though he has some work to do to match his career best of 96 RBI. The Chicago shortstop has tacked on 12 stolen bases in 2025, giving him double figures in homers and steals for the fifth time in his career.

  • Maximo Acosta SS | MIA

    Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Coming back in majors

    The Marlins will recall Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville before Friday's contest against the Phillies, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

    Acosta will take the roster spot vacated by the injured Connor Norby (undisclosed) and could see ample playing time at third base, at least until Graham Pauley (oblique) returns. The 22-year-old Acosta went went just 4-for-24 during his nine games with the big club, though three of those hits left the ballpark. Acosta has slashed .229/.315/.377 with 13 homers and 31 steals this season with Jacksonville.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Cranks 15th homer in loss

    Betts went 1-for-4 with a solo home in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Pirates.

    The 32-year-old shortstop smacked his 15th homer of the year, and he now has at least one hit in five of his last six outings. Betts has found himself in a season-long slump -- his .701 OPS is well on pace to be the worst mark of his career by far -- but his overall fantasy upside should remain decent from the top part of the Dodgers' lineup. Through 568 plate appearances, Betts is slashing a pedestrian .250/.322/.379 with 18 doubles, 61 RBI, 83 runs scored and eight stolen bases.

  • Luke Williams SS | ATL

    Braves' Luke Williams: DFA'd by Atlanta

    Atlanta designated Williams for assignment Thursday.

    Williams went just 4-for-30 at the plate with Atlanta this season while recording five RBI and scoring five runs. Williams' defensive versatility could allow him to get claimed by another team, though he remains a non-factor on offense.

  • Pirates' Termarr Johnson: Power lacking at Double-A

    Johnson is slashing .270/.353/.386 with nine home runs and 20 steals in 109 games for Double-A Altoona.

    His slash line doesn't excite, but he's been 15 percent better than the average Eastern League hitter. For what it's worth, Johnson's been racking up hits of late, batting .370 with a .446 OBP over his last 18 games, although none of his 27 hits during this stretch have left the yard. Johnson will likely be given more opportunities than his overall skill set might otherwise warrant due to the fact he was the No. 4 overall pick in 2022, but his dynasty stock is trending down. He hasn't slugged over .400 since he was at High-A in 2023 and he doesn't project to add defensive value at second base.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ha-Seong Kim: Belts game-winning homer

    Kim went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

    The 29-year-old clubbed the first pitch he saw from Drew Pomeranz in the seventh inning over the left-field fence, erasing a 1-0 deficit in an eventual 5-1 win. Incredibly, it was the first home run by an Atlanta shortstop this season, as the team has gotten a league-low .535 OPS at the position in 2025. The long ball was the third of the year in 26 games for Kim, who should handle starting duties the rest of September after making his Atlanta debut Tuesday.

  • Nasim Nunez SS | WAS

    Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Pops first two career homers

    Nunez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Marlins.

    Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth in his first action with the Nationals since June 8, Nunez connected on his first two career homers in his 75th big-league game, launching a solo shot off Eury Perez in the second inning and a two-run blast against Luarbert Arias in the eighth. Nunez isn't known for his power -- he has only nine career homers in the minors -- but if he gets semi-regular playing time in September, he could make an impact on the basepaths. Between Triple-A and the majors this season, the 25-year-old infielder has gone 44-for-51 on stolen base attempts over 86 games.

  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Braves' Nick Allen: Consigned to bench role

    Allen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    As anticipated, Atlanta's waiver pickup of Ha-Seong Kim earlier in the week has resulted in Allen losing hold of his everyday role at shortstop. Kim will occupy the position for the second game in a row and will likely get an extended evaluation in September, leaving Allen to settle for limited playing time in a utility role. Allen offers strong defense at shortstop, but with a measly .534 OPS over 405 plate appearances on the season, he hasn't hit well enough to profile as a viable everyday player.
