Caglianone went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

Caglianone gave Kansas City an early lead with a run-scoring single off Tarik Skubal in the first inning. He got to Skubal again in the third, this time launching a two-run homer to give the Royals a 3-0 advantage. The long ball was his third over his past three games, and Caglianone is in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak during which he has a 1.278 OPS with four homers and 12 RBI. Since the All-Star break, Caglianone is slashing .291/.309/.595 with six homers and 17 RBI across 21 contests.

Cameron allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Monday.

Cameron was staked to an early 3-0 lead before giving up two runs in the third inning. He still managed to hold the lead until the sixth, when he was charged with two more runs after he departed with two outs. It was a step back -- albeit against one of the league's best teams -- for Cameron, who entered Monday with three straight quality starts on his ledger, giving up just one run over 23 innings during that span. The left-hander lines up to make his next start on the road against the Angels.

Trout went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

Trout gave the Angels an early lead with a 418-foot solo homer to center field in the first inning. However, that was the only run his team scored despite Trout reaching three more times (all on walks). The long ball was just the second over 22 games since the All-Star break for the star outfielder, who is batting a meager .237 during that stretch. Still, Trout is up to 20 home runs on the campaign, marking the 11th time he's reached that mark in his storied career.

Detmers allowed one run on three hits and four walks while striking out six batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.

Though Detmers issued four free passes, he had pretty good control overall, throwing 55 of 88 pitches for strikes. The southpaw didn't give up any extra-base hits and recorded his ninth quality start of the campaign. Detmers still hasn't earned a win since June 16, but this was a promising outing after he had posted a 5.05 ERA across his previous eight starts. He's lined up to make his next appearance at home versus Kansas City.

Latz earned a save against the Angels on Monday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

Latz entered in the bottom of the 10th inning with Texas up 4-1. He had to grind a bit, working around a one-out walk and throwing 24 total pitches, but the right-hander was able to get three outs without allowing any runs. Latz lowered his season ERA to a sterling 1.83 and is now up to 23 saves, sixth-most in the American League.

Gore allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.

Gore was dominant in the outing, racking up 22 swinging strikes and nine punchouts. However, he needed 103 pitches to get through 5.1 frames, and the Rangers' offense didn't come to life until the 10th inning, so he had to settle for a no-decision. Regardless, Gore tied his second-highest strikeout total of the campaign and has now given up just one earned run over 11.1 frames across his past two starts. He's lined up to make his next start on the road against the Athletics.

McNeil went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 10-6 loss to the Rays.

McNeil has logged a steal in three straight contests, doubling his total to six for the year. The veteran infielder is currently holding down a strong-side platoon role at first base, sharing the position with Tommy White in the absence of Nick Kurtz (thumb), who is out indefinitely. McNeil is batting .254 with a .643 OPS, four home runs, six steals, 36 RBI, 32 runs scored and 13 doubles over 357 plate appearances this season, though it's a positive sign that he has a clear path to playing time.

Soderstrom went 1-for-5 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 10-6 loss to the Rays.

Soderstrom was able to steal home after Carlos Cortes forced the Rays into an error when he swiped second. Soderstrom has yet to be held hitless in August, going 10-for-34 (.294) over nine games this month, adding seven extra-base hits and six RBI. For the season, the outfielder is batting .245 with an .812 OPS, 19 home runs, 56 RBI, 57 runs scored, 26 doubles, three triples and two steals over 107 games.

Gelof went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a second run scored in Monday's 10-6 loss to the Rays.

Gelof missed a month due to a knee injury, and he wasted no time in making an impact with a pair of extra-base hits. He's had a decent campaign interrupted by a couple of injuries. On the year, he's batting .277 with an .823 OPS, 12 homers, 31 RBI, 43 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and eight stolen bases over 68 contests. Gelof looks poised for the lion's share of the playing time at third base, though Tommy White and Max Muncy will also be in the mix there as the Athletics' infield remains crowded.

Lopez allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Rays on Monday.

Lopez put forth his longest outing of the season, and it was one of his better performances as well. The Athletics weren't able to hang onto the lead when the bullpen took over, as Seth Johnson and Jose Suarez combined to allow eight runs in the eighth inning. Lopez has allowed eight runs (seven earned) over 26.2 innings across five starts since he re-entered the rotation after the All-Star break. For the year, he's at a 5.38 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 75:44 K:BB through 82 innings across 19 games (16 starts). Lopez's recent pitching is encouraging, but he remains a risky option in fantasy due to a hitter-friendly home park. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Rangers.
