Story went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Royals.

The shortstop broke open a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning with a two-run single, before adding another RBI knock in the seventh. Story has been able to stay healthy in 2025, and the production has followed -- his 72 RBI through 111 games represent his highest totals in both categories since 2021, his last season as a Rockie, and Story sits two homers and one steal away from his fourth career 20-20 campaign.

Crochet (13-4) picked up the win in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Royals, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out eight.

The southpaw racked up 34 called or swinging strikes among his 105 pitches (66 total strikes) as he delivered his fourth straight quality start and 15th of the season. Crochet leads the American League in wins and strikeouts (183) while sitting second behind Tarik Skubal in ERA (2.18 to 2.24), putting him firmly in the Cy Young conversation. The Red Sox ace is scheduled to make his next outing on the road early next week in Houston.

Kremer (8-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings.

Four of the eight hits allowed by Kremer went for extra bases, including a two-run homer in the second inning by Max Kepler. Still, Kremer was able to settle in thereafter, allowing one run over his final four innings. He's now pitched at least five frames in all but three of his 23 appearances this season and has become a reliable innings eater for the Orioles this season. Kremer owns a 4.35 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 110:35 K:BB in 132.1 innings and lines up for a home meeting with the Mariners next week.

Bergert (1-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks over 5.2 innings as the Royals were downed 6-2 by the Red Sox.

Making his first appearance for Kansas City after being acquired from San Diego as part of the Freddy Fermin trade, Bergert battled Boston ace Garrett Crochet to a 1-1 tie through five frames before the home squad finally pulled ahead for good in the sixth. Bergert tossed 61 of 85 pitches for strikes, falling just short of his first career quality start, and the 25-year-old rookie staked a claim to potentially handle at least one more turn through the rotation while Michael Lorenzen (oblique) completes a rehab assignment. If Bergert does get another start with the Royals, it would likely come at home early next week against the Nationals.

Pepiot (7-9) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Angels. He struck out six.

The right-hander worked through four scoreless innings before Jo Adell got to him for three runs across the fifth and sixth innings. Tuesday's outing followed a rocky July for Pepiot in which he posted a 5.03 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 34 innings across six starts. While his season ERA sits at a respectable 3.77 over 136 innings, a 4.58 FIP suggests more regression could be on the horizon.

Adell went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Rays.

Adell drove in all three of the Angels' runs Tuesday, highlighted by a two-run blast off Ryan Pepiot in the fifth inning. Long known for his raw strength, the outfielder is finally putting together sustained success in the power department, posting a .465 slugging percentage and a career-high 23 homers through 107 games this season.

Soriano (7-9) took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings against Tampa Bay. He struck out four.

The right-hander cruised through three scoreless innings before unraveling in the fourth, giving up seven runs sparked by a two-run homer from Brandon Lowe. Soriano remains a mixed bag for fantasy managers -- while his 4.01 ERA over 137 innings and 24 starts doesn't properly align with his more favorable 3.55 FIP, his modest 7.8 K/9 and elevated 4.0 BB/9 dampen his overall appeal.

Lukes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.

Lukes clubbed his 10th homer of the season to put the Blue Jays on the board in the third inning before the offense caught fire to secure a convincing win. The outfielder had been in a 3-for-25 slump over his previous seven games heading into the series, but he's bounced back by going 5-for-8 with three extra-base hits, two RBI and three walks across the first two games against the Rockies.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over Colorado.

Guerrero notched his seventh three-hit game of the season Tuesday, highlighted by a beautiful opposite-field homer in the sixth inning. While his 2025 slugging percentage (.471) lags behind last year's .544 mark, the 26-year-old remains incredibly productive with 25 doubles, 17 home runs, 60 RBI and an .866 OPS through 113 games.

Varsho went 3-for-5 with a double, two homers and six RBI in Tuesday's victory over Colorado.

Varsho built on his four-RBI effort Monday with a massive six-RBI showing Tuesday, fueled by two home runs. Injuries -- most recently a hamstring strain -- have disrupted his 2025 campaign, but when healthy, the center fielder has flashed serious power, posting a .602 slugging percentage across 28 games. If he can use this explosive series in Colorado as a springboard, it would be a huge boost for a Toronto team that's quickly emerging as a legitimate contender.
