Gelof went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Astros.

Gelof notched his second multi-hit effort in a row and extended his hitting streak to six games. He's also swiped a bag in three straight games. The second baseman is up to 17 homers, 23 steals, 45 RBI, 56 runs scored and a .211/.273/.376 slash line through 121 contests overall.

Sears allowed four hits and two walks while striking out one over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Tuesday.

Sears was given the start on short notice after Osvaldo Bido (wrist) landed on the injured list earlier in the day. It worked out well, as Sears turned in his first scoreless outing since July 30, though the Athletics' bullpen couldn't maintain the 2-0 lead Sears exited the game with after six frames. The southpaw lowered his ERA to 4.18 with a 1.19 WHIP and 123:43 K:BB through 163.2 innings over 29 starts this season. He's lined up to make his next start on the road versus the White Sox in what would be a highly favorable matchup.

Neto went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 10-5 loss at Minnesota.

The Angels shortstop collected the game's first hit when he laced his 31st double of the season in the first inning. Neto later launched a 428-foot, three-run blast off starter Pablo Lopez to pull Los Angeles within two runs. The 23-year-old has rounded into a fantasy star in the second half, hitting .272 (46-for-169) with nine homers, nine doubles, 15 steals, 29 runs scored and 28 RBI across 48 games. Overall, Neto is now slashing .258/.328/.455 with 21 homers, 29 steals, 66 runs scored and 70 RBI in 543 plate appearances.

Wallner went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-5 win versus the Angels.

The 26-year-old slugger stretched the Minnesota lead to 5-0 in the third inning with a titanic 444-foot solo shot off Griffin Canning. Wallner later cracked a two-RBI double in the eighth inning to score the final Twins runs of the game. Since returning to the big leagues July 7, he has played in 50 games while hitting .290 (45-for-155) with 11 homers, 15 doubles, 29 RBI and 23 runs scored and going 3-for-3 in stolen bases.

Lopez (15-8) earned the win Tuesday against the Angels, allowing four unearned runs on eight hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out 10.

The Minnesota righty picked up his sixth consecutive quality start -- and 17th of the season -- with this dazzling 105-pitch performance. Although he generated only 13 whiffs on the evening, Lopez managed to post his third double-digit strikeout game of the season, marking his first since punching out 14 at Oakland on June 23. After pitching to an unsightly 5.11 ERA across 104 innings in the first half, the 28-year-old has returned to ace form since the All-Star break, firing a 1.92 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 62:12: K:BB over 65.1 innings. He lines up to make his next start against the division-leading Guardians on the road next week.

Greene went 2-for-3 with a walk, a triple, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 11-0 win over the Rockies.

Greene has been playing well lately, batting .297 over his last 10 games with four extra-base hits and eight RBI. The young outfielder has all the talent in the world, and he's putting it on display this year with an .837 OPS and 20 home runs across 120 games. As long as Greene stays healthy, he should be primed for a strong finish to the season.

Canning (5-13) took the loss Tuesday against the Twins, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

The 28-year-old suffered through his roughest outing of the season, allowing a career-worst nine earned runs in this 105-pitch showing. Canning yielded three long balls, equaling a season-worst mark from a start against Boston on April 5. This also marks his third consecutive appearance with three or more walks, as Canning has generated just 15 strikeouts against 11 free passes over his last 17.1 innings. Overall, the Los Angeles right-hander has now pitched to an ugly 5.35 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 117:59 K:BB across 156.1 innings this season. He gets some reprieve in his next start, as he's currently scheduled to face the White Sox at home next week.

Meadows went 2-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run, two additional runs scored and three total RBI in Tuesday's 11-0 win over the Rockies.

Meadows has been rolling lately, as he's batting .381 over his last five games with four extra-base hits and 12 RBI. The 24-year-old is starting to live up to his prospect pedigree, and while his season stat line might not reflect it, he's turning into a true fantasy contributor. Meadows should continue to pace Detroit's offense as a dynamic leadoff hitter against righties.

Thomas went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 5-0 victory over the White Sox.

The Guardians' center fielder stretched the team's lead to 4-0 with a 374-foot, three-run homer off reliever Gus Varland in the sixth inning. After floundering with a .148 (12-for-81) batting average in his first 28 games with Cleveland, Thomas has now collected a hit in all eight games he's started this month. The 29-year-old has hit .364 (12-for-33) with three homers, four doubles, four runs scored and nine RBI across nine games in September.

Cannon (3-10) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against Cleveland. He struck out four.

Cannon picked up his fifth loss out of his last six starts with this 91-pitch appearance. The 24-year-old rookie fared well through the first five innings, scattering six hits that produced one run, before unraveling in the sixth. He left two runners on via a walk and single that were promptly driven home when reliever Gus Varland yielded a homer to his first batter faced, Lane Thomas. Cannon has now failed to reach five strikeouts in six consecutive starts, during which he's struggled to a 6.16 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB across 30.2 innings. He is projected to make his next outing against the Angels in Los Angeles next week.
