Caballero went 0-for-3 with two stolen bases in a Monday's loss to the Mariners.

Caballero didn't get a hit in the contest, but he was still able to do what he does best, stealing second and third base after reaching on a fielder's choice in the fifth inning. The speedy utility man is up to 37 thefts on the campaign, most in the American League and tied for third in the majors. Caballero has produced modest fantasy stats otherwise, though, slashing .232/.291/.374 with nine homers, 37 RBI and 50 runs over 111 games.

Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in a 5-1 victory against the Rays on Monday.

Arozarena provided the biggest hit of the contest for Seattle, belting a three-run homer in the third inning to break a 1-1 tie. The long ball snapped a 22-game homerless stretch during which the outfielder batted just .182 with a meager five RBI. Since joining Seattle in a deadline deal, Arozarena has posted a .220 batting average along with two homers, nine RBI, 18 runs and four stolen bases across 26 games.

Pepiot (7-6) allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out six batters in six innings in a loss to Seattle on Monday.

Pepiot was given an early one-run lead but allowed five runs across the second through fourth frames and didn't get any additional support from Tampa Bay's offense. The right-hander was particularly impacted by the long ball, as the two homers he served up accounted for four of the Mariners' five runs. Though he wasn't great in the outing, Pepiot did get credit for a quality start, as only two of the runs he surrendered were earned. Since returning from an over-one-month stay on the injured list Aug. 16, Pepiot has given up nine runs across 17.1 frames, but just four of the runs have been earned. He's also posted a solid 16:3 K:BB during that span.

Miller (10-7) earned the win over Tampa Bay on Monday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out 10 batters over seven innings.

Miller was dominant in the outing, racking up 14 whiffs and tying a season high with 10 punchouts. The only run he allowed came on a Josh Lowe solo homer in the second inning, and Miller surrendered just one other hit (a single by Lowe in the fifth). The right-handed hurler has been outstanding of late, allowing just three runs (all on solo homers) over his past four starts covering 24 frames.. Miller has broken through in his second big-league campaign -- he ranks 11th among qualified starters with a 3.23 ERA and fourth with a 0.98 WHIP while registering a 143:33 K:BB over 150.2 innings.

Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's loss to the Tigers.

Benintendi brought the White Sox to within three runs on an eighth-inning solo blast, but that was the final tally for either team. The long ball was the veteran outfielder's first over 13 contests following an uncharacteristic five-homer, five-game stretch in early August. Benintendi's 14 home runs on the campaign are already his most since 2021, when he swatted 17 homers as a member of the Royals.

Martin allowed one run on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters over five innings in a no-decision against Detroit on Monday.

Martin held Detroit scoreless until the fifth inning, when the Tigers pushed across a run on a trio of singles. That was the final frame for the right-hander, and he was in line for the victory until Chicago's bullpen collapsed in the seventh. Martin continued a solid stretch of starts -- over his past four outings, he's given up just four earned runs while posting an 18:7 K:BB over 20 innings. He's tentatively lined up to face the Mets at home in his next start.

Madden allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out two batters over five innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Monday.

Madden was called up from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Monday's outing to make his big-league debut. The right-hander gave up an unearned run in the first inning but hung tough and surrendered just one more run over the remainder of his start. While he struggled with his control at times, issuing three walks and throwing a modest 52 of 87 pitches for strikes, Madden didn't surrender any extra-base hits and showed poise in mostly avoiding damage despite allowing at least one runner to reach base in each of his five frames. However, the 24-year-old didn't didn't display the strikeout stuff he's exhibited in the minors -- Madden has fanned 102 batters over 79 innings at Toledo but punched out just two hitters and induced only eight whiffs Monday. If he gets another turn in the rotation, it's tentatively slated to come against Boston this weekend.

Springer went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Monday's win over Boston.

Springer put the Blue Jays on the board with his three-run shot during the team's five-run fifth inning. He's gone deep four times in his last six contests after hitting just one homer over his previous 24 appearances. Springer bumped his slash line up to .222/.303/.392 with 54 RBI and 38 extra-base hits over 511 plate appearances.

Little allowed a hit in 1.1 scoreless innings against Boston on Monday. He struck out one and earned a save.

Little needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to record four outs and earn his first career MLB save. The Blue Jays went up 7-3 in the ninth inning and Chad Green pitched Friday and Saturday, so the team opted to leave Little out there for the four-out save. Little owns a 3.78 ERA with a 27:14 K:BB through 33 innings this season. He had given up four earned runs over his last nine innings entering Monday's contest.

Holton pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Monday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Top closing option Jason Foley pitched an inning on Friday and Sunday, so the Tigers turned to Holton instead Monday. The lefty needed just 11 pitches to retire Chicago in order and record his fifth save of the season. Holton has been effective with a 2.38 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 75.2 innings this season, though his fantasy upside is capped somewhat due to the lack of regular save opportunities.
