Abrams went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI double, an additional double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mets in extra innings.

Abrams was 2-for-17 (.118) in his last five outings and had logged just one multi-hit game since May 18. The shortstop burst out of the slump Tuesday, and Abrams is now slashing .269/.338/.486 with nine home runs, 11 steals, 22 RBI and 37 runs this season.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Lowe extended his hit streak to four games and snapped a 19-game homerless drought when he clubbed a first-inning homer off Griffin Canning. The long ball was Lowe's ninth of the year, and he's slashing .230/.293/.381 with 41 RBI and 22 runs scored over 276 plate appearances.

Gore didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks across six innings. He struck out six.

Gore turned in his fourth consecutive quality start, adding to what's been a stellar campaign for the 26-year-old. He allowed a solo homer to Juan Soto in the third inning, marking the first long ball Gore has allowed in six starts. Gore has struck out six or more batters in all but one of his 14 starts this season, and he owns a 2.88 ERA to pair with a 114:22 K:BB over 81.1 innings in 2025. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Marlins on Sunday to close out a two-start week.

Finnegan was charged with a blown save during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing no runs on one hit with one strikeout over 1.1 innings.

Finnegan stepped into the contest in the bottom of the eighth with a one-run lead, two outs and an inherited runner on second base. The 33-year-old closer surrendered a hit to Pete Alonso that plated the runner on second, but Alonso was thrown out attempting to stretch the hit out into a double. Still, the hit tied the game and resulted in Finnegan's fourth blown save of the campaign. In his last 10 appearances, Finnegan has allowed four runs (two earned) on 10 hits and a 6:1 K:BB across 10 innings. He's converted seven of his nine save chances during that stretch.

Canning didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Washington, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Canning was not as sharp Tuesday after blanking the Dodgers over six innings in his previous start. He tied his season highs in hits and earned runs allowed, and he yielded a pair of home runs. Still, it's been a strong season for the 29-year-old, who has taken just one loss since his season debut. He has tallied a 3.22 ERA over 64.1 innings in 2025 and is tentatively lined up to face the Rays on Sunday.

Soto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Nationals.

Soto notched his third multi-hit game in his last four outings and belted his 12th long ball of the campaign. The veteran outfielder struggled to open the year, slashing .224/.352/.393 -- all career lows -- but he has shown signs of life recently. In his last 11 games, Soto is 14-for-37 (.378) with four homers, eight RBI, 14 runs and a 13:5 BB:K.

Gorman went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 10-9 loss to Toronto.

Gorman remains stuck in part-time role, but he's been relatively productive lately when given the opportunity to play. Across his last 15 games, the 25-year-old infielder is batting .343 (12-for-35) with four extra-base hits, five RBI and three runs scored. It's unclear if his recent hot streak will earn him more playing time going forward, but Gorman at least has a clearer pathway to at-bats at second base while Brendan Donovan sees extra reps in the outfield amid the absence of Jordan Walker (wrist).

Chourio went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Atlanta.

It was the 11th long ball of the season for Chourio, who's been heating up at the plate recently. Over his last 19 games, the speedy 21-year-old outfielder is batting .309 (25-for-81) with four home runs, four doubles and 14 RBI to go with 15 runs scored and five stolen bases as a five-category fantasy contributor. Chourio has eight multi-hit efforts during this period.

Megill picked up the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Atlanta, throwing a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts.

After giving up two runs in a blown save Saturday against the Padres, Megill righted the ship Tuesday for his 13th save of the campaign. The hard-throwing right-hander has still been excellent for the most part over his last 17.2 innings, posting a 2.04 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB over that span as Milwaukee's clear-cut closer.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies.

Swanson hit his 12th home run of the season and first since May 23 to help lead the Cubs to a big victory. The shortstop is quickly nearing his 2024 total of 16 long balls. Swanson's career high in home runs is 27, which he recorded back in 2021 with Atlanta. He should continue to see regular playing time in the middle of a stacked Chicago lineup, giving him good fantasy upside the rest of the way.
