Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-6 win over the Padres.

Raleigh is the first player to 50 home runs this season, and he's five ahead of Shohei Ohtani and Kyle Schwarber for the MLB lead through Monday's action. He also became the second switch hitter in MLB history to reach the 50-homer threshold, joining Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle in the exclusive club. With eight long balls over his last 16 games, Raleigh is on another one of the power surges that have propelled him into MVP contention. He's also supplied 107 RBI, 86 runs scored, 19 doubles and 14 stolen bases while batting .247 with a .949 OPS through 129 contests. With 30 games left on the schedule and the Mariners in the thick of the playoff race, Raleigh will likely continue to see enough playing time to give him a shot at the 60-home run mark.

Polanco went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-6 win over the Padres.

Polanco hit a two-run home run in the second inning and plated two more runs on a double in the fifth as the Mariners rallied for the lead. This was his third multi-hit effort in his last six games, and it's the first time he's driven in multiple runs since Aug. 5 versus the White Sox. Over the last seven games, Seattle has faced six left-handed pitchers, affording Polanco a chance to play in the field at second base over Cole Young. For the season, Polanco has a .252/.318/.458 slash line with 20 homers, 59 RBI, 49 runs scored and six stolen bases through 110 contests.

De Los Santos was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Monday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.

De Los Santos allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings in Monday's contest, so the Yankees will send him down in favor of a fresh arm. Fernando Cruz (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday in a corresponding move.

Miller (3-5) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Padres on Monday.

Miller had a terrible second inning, allowing solo shots to Gavin Sheets and Jake Cronenworth and a two-run home run to Fernando Tatis. Other than that, Miller turned in a passable start, though he's still shaking off the rust after missing more than two months due to elbow inflammation. He's allowed eight runs over his last 10 innings while posting an 8:3 K:BB in that span. Overall, he has a 5.98 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 47:26 K:BB through 58.2 innings across 12 starts this season. Miller is projected for a road start in Cleveland this weekend.

Diaz went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 9-0 win over Cleveland.

Diaz smashed his 22nd homer of the year, tying the career high he set during the 2023 campaign. The infielder doesn't offer much in the way of speed -- he has three stolen bases in 2025 -- but he's been an excellent four-category fantasy contributor since the start of June. Diaz is hitting .312 with 14 big flies, 40 RBI and 39 runs scored over his last 269 at-bats.

Caminero went 4-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI, two additional runs scored and one stolen base in Monday's 9-0 win over Cleveland.

Caminero pushed his hitting streak up to five games, and he now has four homers over his past four outings. The four-hit game was Caminero's third of the year, and Monday marked his fourth multi-homer effort of the campaign as well. The slugging third baseman is on a tear in August, batting .301 with 12 round-trippers, two doubles, 23 RBI and two steals over his last 83 at-bats.

Cowser went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 4-3 loss to Boston.

Cowser extended his hitting streak to six games and clubbed his 12th homer of the year. The outfielder has been pretty productive in the month of August, batting .241 with three doubles, three big flies, nine RBI and one stolen base over his last 54 at-bats. The three-hit game Monday was also Cowser's third of the campaign.

Chapman notched the save in Monday's 4-3 win over Baltimore, tossing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.

The All-Star southpaw's spectacular campaign continues, as he's now rattled off 13 consecutive scoreless appearances. Chapman is putting together arguably the best season of his outstanding career, submitting a 1.06 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 71:14 K:BB over 51 innings. He's also successfully converted 25 of his 27 save chances as Boston's closer.

Duran went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Monday's 4-3 win over Baltimore.

The homer was Duran's first since Aug. 4 versus the Royals and his 13th of the season. The month of August has been a quiet one for the 28-year-old outfielder, who posted a potent 1.093 OPS through 23 games in July. Over his last 74 at-bats, Duran is hitting just .216 with five doubles, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored and three stolen bases.

Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a homer, a steal, a walk and two additional runs scored in Monday's 10-4 rout of the Twins.

The Toronto second baseman tallied a homer and a steal in the same game for the seventh time in his six-year career. Gimenez stretched his team's lead to 5-0 with a 422-foot solo shot off Minnesota starter Joe Ryan in the second. The 26-year-old entered this contest mired in a cold spell, slashing a paltry .188/.297/.188 in 37 plate appearances since returning from an ankle injury Aug. 12. Perhaps this performance will get Gimenez going, as his elite glove continues to keep him in the starting lineup.
