  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Logs steal Thursday

    Volpe went 2-for-3 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over the White Sox.

    A two-game stretch out of the lineup earlier in the week didn't immediately fix Volpe's problems at the plate, as he entered Thursday stuck in an 0-for-23 slump. He was able to break out of it with a multi-hit effort, and his RBI in this contest came on a sacrifice fly. He also logged his 16th steal of the season, which was his first since Aug. 6 versus the Rangers. He has had few opportunities on the basepaths this month -- Volpe is batting a mere .169 (14-for-83) in August, dragging his average for the season down to .207 through 132 games. He's added a .668 OPS, 18 home runs, 66 RBI, 57 runs scored, 27 doubles and four triples. Volpe remains the Yankees' starting shortstop, but Jose Caballero offers another speedy option at the position if Volpe's performance becomes too poor for manager Aaron Boone to tolerate.

  • Trent Grisham CF | NYY

    Yankees' Trent Grisham: Continues power surge

    Grisham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Thursday's 10-4 win over the White Sox.

    Grisham has clubbed six homers among 10 total hits over his last nine games, adding seven RBI in that span. The outfielder's power surge has him up to 27 long balls this season, 10 more than he's had in any other year in his career. He's racked up 53 RBI, 68 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple, one stolen base and a .248/.354/.476 slash line through 117 games in 2025.

  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Homer, steal in Thursday's win

    Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 10-4 win over the White Sox.

    Chisholm logged a steal for the second game in a row, and he's also swatted four homers while supplying eight RBI over his last five games. The 27-year-old continues to put up strong power and speed numbers with 26 homers and 24 steals through 102 contests. He's added 66 RBI, 63 runs scored and a .242/.338/.495 slash line, with the low average being about the only flaw in his overall performance this year.

  • Cody Bellinger LF | NYY

    Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Launches homer in Thursday's win

    Bellinger went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and a second run scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over the White Sox.

    Bellinger is swinging a hot bat with a homer in consecutive games and five multi-hit efforts over his last six contests. He's 12-for-22 (.545) in that longer span. On the year, the outfielder is up to a .283/.336/.511 slash line with 26 homers, 81 RBI, 75 runs scored, 22 doubles, five triples and 11 stolen bases over 124 contests. He is on pace to exceed the 30-homer mark for the first time since his 47-homer season in 2019.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Overcomes defensive miscue

    Warren (8-6) allowed four unearned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win over the White Sox on Thursday.

    An Anthony Volpe error in the second inning ultimately led to a Miguel Vargas grand slam. Those were all the runs on Warren's line, and they were all unearned, leading to no damage on his ERA, though he was limited to five innings and 93 pitches (51 strikes). It's an improvement on Warren's last two starts, when he failed to reach the five-inning mark altogether. He's allowed 12 runs (six earned) across 13.2 innings over his last three outings. On the season, he has a 4.30 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 149:60 K:BB through 136 innings over 28 starts. The right-hander is projected for a road start versus Houston next week.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Labors early in no-decision

    Martin allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Thursday.

    Martin gave up a two-run home run to Cody Bellinger in the first inning and yielded a solo shot to Jazz Chisholm in the second. The Yankees continued to give Martin trouble, and while he didn't yield any additional runs, his pitch count got up early and he was pulled at 81 pitches (50 strikes). This was the first time he's failed to complete four innings all year and just the second time in 21 appearances (20 starts) he's fallen short of five frames. The right-hander has a 4.03 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 85:38 K:BB through 116 innings. His numbers don't pop off the page, but he's been a reliable innings-eater for the White Sox. He's projected to make his next start at Minnesota.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Racks up three hits in win

    Lindor went 3-for-5 with one run scored in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

    This was Lindor's 10th multi-hit effort in his last 15 games, a span in which he's batting .455 (30-for-66). All three of his hits were singles Thursday, and he has a modest nine extra-base hits (four home runs, five doubles) during that hot stretch. The shortstop is up to a .269/.336/.457 slash line with 25 homers, 27 doubles, 24 stolen bases, 73 RBI and 91 runs scored over 132 contests this season.

  • JoJo Romero RP | MIL

    Cardinals' JoJo Romero: Collects fifth save Thursday

    Romero allowed one hit and no walks with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning for the save Thursday against Pittsburgh.

    Romero picked up his fifth save of the season, and each of which have come following the trade of Ryan Helsley. Riley O'Brien worked a clean eighth inning for a hold, and Romero should continue sharing ninth-inning work with O'Brien based on matchups to finish out the campaign. Romero owns a 2.25 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB over 48 innings in 2025.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | BAL

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Reaches 30-homer mark

    Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a second run scored in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

    Alonso is the 10th player in the majors to reach the 30-homer mark this season. He's one of two players to have at least 30 homers and 30 doubles, joining the Angels' Taylor Ward. Alonso has hit eight of his long balls and eight of his 34 doubles over 25 games in August, batting .295 (31-for-105) this month. He's hitting .267 with an .862 OPS, 108 RBI, 72 runs scored and one stolen base across 134 games on the year.

  • Clay Holmes SP | CHC

    Mets' Clay Holmes: Takes no-decision versus Miami

    Holmes allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Thursday.

    Holmes gave up the opening run on a sacrifice fly in the first inning, and it was his own two-out error that allowed the Marlins to build a rally in the third. Holmes has given up 14 runs (12 earned) over 25 innings across his five starts in August, adding a 20:10 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's at a decent 3.60 ERA but with a 1.31 WHIP and lackluster 111:56 K:BB through 142.1 innings across 27 starts. Holmes will get an extra day of rest thanks to Jonah Tong's major-league debut Friday, but it's unclear if the Mets will stick with a six-man rotation across multiple turns. Holmes' next start is projected to be a tough matchup in Detroit, but he could be a candidate for the bullpen if his struggles continue in September.
