Teel went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Twins.

Teel delivered RBI singles in each of the first two innings, continuing his tear at the plate. He's gone 11-for-23 with two homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored across his last six games. Teel has moved up in the White Sox's order as a result of his hot streak, as he's hit third in four of his last five starts and served as the leadoff hitter on the fifth occasion.

Smith went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Sunday against the Orioles.

Smith has seen his playing time slip against right-handed pitching, though he was in the lineup Sunday with Trevor Rogers on the mound. While it was a peoductive day, Smith wasn't able to end his hitless streak, and he now has failed to tally a hit in five straight starts and seven of his last eight. Smith has had a streaky rookie season, and he could see his playing time continue to decline in the final month of the campaign.

Pena went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Sunday against the Orioles.

Pena recorded hits in each of his first two at-bats, the latter of which was an RBI single. He was then awarded third base due to an engagement violation, accounting for his 18th stolen base of the year. While a long stint on the injured list in July has muted his counting stats, Pena has a chance to reach 20 home runs for the first time since his rookie season and has a career-best .842 OPS across 432 plate appearances.

Williams went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored Sunday against the Cardinals.

Williams made his second big-league start and continued to flash his fantasy upside. After homering in his debut, Williams tallied his first steal and has attempted a stolen base in each of his first two contests. His ability to make consistent contact remains a concern, but there is considerable power and speed intrigue in his profile that has already been on display.

Pepiot (9-10) picked up the win Sunday against St. Louis, allowing one hit and one walk across five scoreless innings. He struck out three.

Pepiot had no issues with the Cardinals' lineup, allowing just two baserunners in five innings of work. Surprisingly, he was pulled after five innings and 63 pitches. An injury hasn't been reported, so it seems as though the Rays are limiting his innings in the closing stages of the regular season. Pepiot has thrown a career-high 153 innings in 2025, topping his previous high of 130 innings set last season. The 28-year-old hadn't thrown fewer than 84 pitches in an appearance since June 27. He had allowed 17 runs across four starts spanning 21.2 innings before Sunday's outing. Pepiot is lined up to face the Nationals next weekend.

Simpson went 2-for-3 with a two-RBI triple and a stolen base during Sunday's 7-2 win over St. Louis.

Simpson's third-inning steal of second base was his fourth pilfer in as many games, boosting his season total to 38 steals. The outfielder also logged his third triple of the campaign. Simpson has been on a tear at the plate lately, going 21-for-53 (.396) with six stolen bases and a 5:6 BB:K in his last 13 games.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a single, a run scored and two stolen bases during Sunday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

Lowe's two steals tied his career high, a feat he had accomplished just two times before. The 26-year-old now has 16 steals on the campaign, and he's swiped a bag in three consecutive contests. In August, Lowe is 13-for-61 (.213) with five doubles, eight runs and eight stolen bases.

Caminero went 1-for-4 with a grand slam during Sunday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

Caminero broke Sunday's game open with his fifth-inning grand slam off Matt Svanson. It was the third baseman's second grand slam of his career. The long ball was his 10th of August, putting him in a three-way tie with Shea Langeliers and Vinnie Pasquantino for the most round-trippers in MLB this month. He's 21-for-78 (.269) with 20 RBI and 15 runs scored during that stretch.

Morel went 3-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 7-2 win over St. Louis.

The performance marked Morel's fourth three-hit game of the campaign, and his first since June 7. Since July 31, Morel is 12-for-39 (.308) with three home runs and 20 strikeouts. He's slashing .222/.284/.409 on the season and has been relegated to a short-side platoon role.

Rogers (7-2) picked up the win Sunday against Houston, allowing one run on five hits and three walks across seven innings. He struck out nine.

Rogers' stretch of outstanding play continued against Houston -- he allowed fewer than two runs for a sixth straight start. He's completed at least seven innings in five of those appearances, owning a 1.07 ERA and a 41:7 K:BB across 42 innings during that stretch. The left-hander has a 1.40 ERA in 83.1 innings this season. He hasn't posted a sub-4.00 ERA since the 2021 campaign. Rogers will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come in San Francisco.
