Willy Adames SS | SF
Brewers' Willy Adames: Drives in four runs
Adames went 3-for-4 with a triple, two doubles, four RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 12-0 win over the Marlins.
Adames knocked an RBI double in the third inning and then cleared the bases with a triple in the sixth. In what's mostly been a down year for him, the 28-year-old shortstop has rebounded a bit over the last few weeks. In his last 21 games, Adames has gone 23-for-81 (.284) with 12 extra-base hits and 25 RBI. His season slash line now sits at .215/.299/.413 with 48 extra-base hits through 561 plate appearances.

Patrick Corbin SP | TOR
Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Strikes out eight, earns 10th win
Corbin (10-13) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against the Pirates. He struck out eight.
After allowing 14 runs in his previous two starts, Corbin bounced back with a quality start in earning his 10th win. He was staked to a 6-1 lead and recorded two outs in the seventh but was bounced after a Ji Hwan Bae double plated a second run for the Pirates. The 6.2 innings represented Corbin's longest outing since July 9 and the eight strikeouts were his second highest total of the season. Corbin will look to follow up on this strong performance in his next start, scheduled to occur this weekend in Milwaukee.

Matt Olson 1B | ATL
Braves' Matt Olson: Reaches 50 homers
Olson went 2-for-3 with two homers and four RBI in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Phillies.
Olson got Atlanta on the board with a three-run homer off Michael Lorenzen in the third inning before adding a solo blast, his 50th of the season, in the sixth. Olson has been on a sensational run of late -- he's hit safely in nine straight games, going 17-for-33 (.515) with seven homers and 15 RBI in that span. He leads the league in both homers and RBI (127) while batting a career-best .279 with a 1.000 OPS through 645 plate appearances this season.

Michael Lorenzen RP | TOR
Phillies' Michael Lorenzen: Grabs win in nightcap
Lorenzen (4-2) earned the win Monday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over five innings in a 7-5 victory over Atlanta. He struck out three.
Lorenzen's final line could've looked much better if it wasn't for Matt Olson -- the first baseman drove in all four Atlanta runs with a pair of home runs. Still, Lorenzen pitched well enough to earn the win behind the Phillies' seven-run outburst. Since he no-hit the Nationals on Aug. 9, the 31-year-old Lorenzen has struggled to a 7.96 ERA in his subsequent five starts (26 innings). Overall, he sports a 4.06 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP and 107:43 K:BB across 25 starts (148.2 innings) between the Phillies and Tigers this season. Lorenzen's currently lined up for a rematch with Atlanta on the road in his next outing.

Jacob Miller SP | MIA
Marlins' Jacob Miller: Back from IL
Miller (undisclosed) has turned in a 4.82 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB in 18.2 innings in five games since being reinstated from Single-A Jupiter's 7-day injured list Aug. 8.
Miller was on the shelf for about two months before slotting back into the Jupiter rotation. In 59.1 innings in the Florida State League this season, the 20-year-old right-hander owns a 4.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 50:25 K:BB.

David Peralta LF | SD
Dodgers' David Peralta: Held out Monday
Peralta (elbow) isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Peralta was removed from Sunday's contest after being drilled by a pitch, and while his X-rays returned negative, he'll be kept out of Monday's clash. Chris Taylor draws the start in left field and will bat seventh in Peralta's absence.

Wander Suero RP | ATH
Dodgers' Wander Suero: Sent to IL
Suero was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to lower-back tightness.
It's unclear as to when Suero first started to experience back tightness, but he'll be shut down for at least the next 15 days. Gavin Stone was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.
-
Kirby Yates RP | PIT
Braves' Kirby Yates: PIcks up extra-inning save
Yates picked up the save Monday against Philadelphia, striking out two in a perfect inning.
Closer Raisel Iglesias entered the ninth with a save opportunity but allowed the Phillies to tie the game and send it to extras. When Atlanta reclaimed the lead, Yates needed only 14 pitches to slam the door and earn his fourth save of the season. While save opportunities are rare, Yates holds a 2.75 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 75 strikeouts in 55.2 innings as he maintains a high-leverage role in the backend of the Atlanta bullpen.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Marlins' Jorge Soler: Starts hitting progression
Soler (oblique) has been cleared to begin a hitting progression, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Soler has been rehabbing from a right oblique strain in Miami, and he's been cleared to start ramping up his baseball activities. He'll be eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Sept. 16 against Atlanta, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to go after missing the minimum.

Bryce Harper 1B | PHI
Phillies' Bryce Harper: Homers, scores three runs in loss
Harper went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta.
His two-run game-tying blast came with two-outs in the ninth to send the game to extras. Harper entered the opening game of Monday's double-header with a modest four-game hit streak that only slightly masked a 4-for-32 homer-less slump over his past nine games. Harper is now slashing .296/.396/.484 with 16 homers, 60 RBI, 71 runs and nine steals in 405 at-bats over 109 games.
