On the year, he's hitting .264/.341/.388 with five homers, 22 RBI, 30 runs and two stolen bases across 77 contests.

Bennett (7-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four.

Bennett ran into trouble during a three-run third inning but was able to work through it and turn in a strong enough outing to pick up his seventh win. The soft-tossing southpaw has been steady and reliable as a rookie, allowing three or fewer runs in 10 of 12 starts while logging at least five innings in each outing. Across 71.1 innings, Bennett owns a 2.90 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB and is tentatively scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Athletics.

Alvarez turned in his second four-hit game of the season and recorded his first three-extra-base-hit performance of 2026. His third double came in the seventh inning and drove in two runs to extend Houston's lead. The superstar slugger has now reached base safely in 18 consecutive games and continues to put together an outstanding campaign. Through 111 contests, Alvarez is slashing .330/.442/.650 with 35 home runs, 24 doubles, 84 RBI, 77 runs scored and one stolen base.

Vargas went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Rays.

Vargas popped his home run in the ninth inning to give the White Sox some additional insurance. It was his second long ball of the weekend series against Tampa Bay and brings his total to 24 on the season. Vargas has continued to flash power, but he's otherwise struggled out of the All-Star break, hitting only .197 with seven RBI across 16 games.

Caballero went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Cubs.

Caballero supplied all of New York's offense, taking Colin Rea deep for a two-run homer in the third inning. The blast snapped an 18-game homer drought dating back to his two-homer performance July 6. The infielder has gotten off to a slow start in the second half, batting 9-for-43 (.209) over 13 games, but he has found success on the basepaths with five stolen bases over that span. For the season, Caballero is slashing .241/.292/.384 with 11 home runs, 12 doubles, 40 RBI, 37 runs scored and 27 stolen bases across 96 games.

Benintendi now has 57 RBI on the season and is well on pace to post his highest total since the 2021 campaign.

Bednar recorded his 24th save Sunday against the Cubs, allowing one walk while striking out one over 1.1 scoreless innings.

He induced a flyout from Ian Happ to escape the threat, then worked around a walk to Pedro Ramirez in the ninth to lock down his 24th save of the season. The veteran closer has now held the opponent scoreless in 23 of his last 24 appearances while converting 13 saves during that stretch. On the year, Bednar owns a 2.61 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 54:15 K:BB across 48.1 innings.
