Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Twins.

Bellinger blasted his 29th big fly of the year, putting him on the verge of the second 30-homer campaign of his career and his first since his 2019 National League MVP season. The veteran outfielder is on the cusp of recording a 100-RBI season for the second time in his career as well, as he's up to 97 RBI in 2025. Bellinger has also been a five-category contributor for fantasy managers, batting .275 with 81 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 553 at-bats to go with his strong power figures.

Grisham went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Twins.

Grisham now has seven multi-homer games for his career, and five of them have come in 2025. Perhaps even more remarkably, three of these efforts have occurred in his last 26 outings (112 plate appearances), during which Grisham is slashing .223/.339/.606 with 12 round trippers, 25 RBI and two stolen bases to boost his OPS to a career-high .825 for the year.

Suarez went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Royals.

Suarez broke out in a big way -- he entered Wednesday having gone hitless in his last eight games following a two-homer performance Sept. 7 in Atlanta. The All-Star third baseman still has time to turn in the first 50-homer campaign of his career, as he's up to 46 big flies in 2025. That said, Suarez has a miserable .453 OPS over 23 home games since joining Seattle, but his .904 OPS across 20 contests on the road has kept his fantasy value afloat.

The Royals are expected to place Bergert on the 15-day injured list Thursday with forearm tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Bergert reported a problem with his forearm after throwing a bullpen session Wednesday. The 25-year-old's move to the IL will put an early end to his rookie regular season, finishing with a 3.66 ERA and 1.26 WHIP alongside a 73:35 K:BB across 76.1 innings.

Perez went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and two walks in Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.

Perez is now up to 29 long balls and 92 RBI this year, putting him on the precipice of his first 30-homer campaign since 2021 and the second of his career. The veteran backstop has six big flies in September and four in his past four games. Over his last 57 at-bats, Perez is batting just .211 but is slugging .561 with 15 RBI as he also pushes for the third 100-RBI season of his career.

Estevez (back) picked up the save Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing one run on three hits with no strikeouts or walks in the ninth inning.

After leaving Sunday's win over Philadelphia due to mild back tightness, Estevez returned to action Wednesday but was shaky in collecting his MLB-leading 40th save. The earned run was his first allowed since Aug. 13 versus Washington, and the three hits given up were his most since July 3 in Seattle. Estevez has still produced a 2.53 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 52:22 K:BB over 64 innings, and the veteran right-hander appears to be locked in as the Royals' closer to close out his excellent campaign.

Ward went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 9-2 loss to Milwaukee.

Wednesday represented Ward's fifth career multi-homer game and his second of the season. The two RBI gave the veteran outfielder the first 100-RBI season of his career, as well. Despite a subpar .225 average, Ward has set career highs across the board with 33 long balls, 31 doubles, 83 runs scored and 72 walks over 551 at-bats to remain a quality fantasy asset in 2025.

Wallner was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees with right back spasms, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Wallner went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the fifth inning. A day off Thursday for the Twins will give him an additional day to recover before potentially returning to action Friday without missing a start.

Caminero was removed from Wednesday's game against Toronto due to mid-back tightness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Caminero had gone 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts before his back forced him to make an early exit during the seventh inning. The Rays are already labeling him as day-to-day, which suggests the injury isn't too serious, though they may give Tristan Gray or Richie Palacios a start at third base Thursday to give Caminero extra time to recover.

Isbel was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mariners due to left hamstring discomfort.

Isbel grounded out to end the second frame and was replaced in the outfield to start the next half-inning. It remains unclear whether his injury will force him to miss additional time, which would likely provide more opportunities for Tyler Tolbert in center field.
