Los Angeles Angels outfielder
Jo Adell exited Sunday's game after reportedly feeling nauseous, according to manager Ray Montgomery. He was replaced by
Matthew Lugo in the top of the ninth inning and finished 1-for-4 with a strikeout and a two-run home run in the first inning, his 35th of the season. Adell is likely day-to-day as the Angels monitor his availability for Monday's game. The 25-year-old is slashing .243/.303/.507 with an .810 OPS and has clearly unlocked his power stroke, making this his most productive season as a big leaguer.

Los Angeles Angels catcher
Logan O'Hoppe is set to undergo concussion evaluation after being struck in the head by a warmup swing from
Jacob Wilson in the seventh inning, forcing him to leave Sunday's game. Manager Ray Montgomery said O'Hoppe is feeling "OK," but the Angels will prioritize his health before clearing a return to the lineup. Fantasy managers should monitor updates closely as his status remains uncertain. O'Hoppe is slashing .217/.260/.386 with a .646 OPS and has hit 19 home runs in 109 games during his fourth season.

New York Mets right-hander
Brandon Sproat made his MLB debut Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds, turning in a strong six-inning performance despite taking the loss. Sproat allowed three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out seven, flashing plenty of upside in a quality outing. The 24-year-old threw 88 pitches, 58 for strikes, good for a 66 percent strike rate. With more opportunities to grow and refine his command, Sproat has the potential to become a key piece in the Mets rotation as they push for a playoff spot.

Houston Astros starting pitcher
Framber Valdez had his turn in the rotation pushed up to Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The Astros decided to scratch
Luis Garcia who was going to start this game, and give the ball to Valdez. The southpaw wasn't great on the mound, but the biggest blow was a two-run home run by
Jake Burger in the sixth inning. He tossed seven innings, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out five batters in the loss. Valdez has been inconsistent on the mound lately, so fantasy managers will take this performance even if it wasn't an elite outing.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher
Jacob Misiorowski looked outstanding on the mound during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Coming into this start, Misiorowski had struggled lately with three earned runs or more in each of his last four starts. The rookie right-hander was able to bounce back nicely on Sunday. He tossed seven innings, allowing one run on three hits while striking out eight batters in the win. The hope is that this will help him get back on track down the stretch of the season. The upside alone makes Misiorowski worth rostering in most fantasy formats. His next start will come against the St. Louis Cardinals next weekend.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman
Andrew Vaughn was nearly unstoppable at the plate during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After an epic beginning to his career in Milwaukee, Vaughn saw his numbers take a dip there for a bit. Now, Vaughn appears to be back after a strong performance on Sunday. He went 4-for-5 at the plate with three singles, a double, and one RBI in the blowout win. His overall numbers aren't great because of his previous time with the Chicago White Sox. However, Vaughn has been a stud with the Brewers and should be rostered in at least deep leagues.

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher
Daniel Palencia (shoulder) is likely to miss time after suffering an injury during Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Palenica was removed from Sunday's outing due to tightness in his right shoulder. Before exiting, Palencia was destroyed for five earned runs on four hits with one walk in the loss. There is no word on how long Palencia will be sidelined, but a trip to the injured list seems likely.
Brad Keller is likely going to be the next man up in the bullpen, but
Porter Hodge should also be in the mix for saves in Chicago.

Seattle Mariners catcher
Cal Raleigh slugged his league-leading 53rd home run of the season in an 18-2 thrashing of the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. Raleigh's three-run jack in the top of the ninth against right-hander
Rolddy Munoz traveled 426 feet. The AL MVP candidate finished the afternoon 2-for-6 with an additional run scored. He's now slashing .243/.351/.581 with an AL-high 113 RBI, 94 runs scored, and a surprising 14 stolen bases over 619 plate appearances. Raleigh is just one homer from tying the legendary Mickey Mantle for most by a switch-hitter in a single season. With another three weeks left in the regular season, Raleigh also has a good chance to reach the 60 mark. He's already in uncharted territory as the first catcher to smash at least 50 in a season.

The Texas Rangers will shut down right-handed reliever
Josh Sborz (shoulder) for the rest of the season, manager Bruce Bochy told reporters. Sborz hasn't pitched in the majors at all this year after undergoing shoulder debridement surgery last November. The 31-year-old threw 12 innings in the minors this season, but he wasn't able to regain his velocity and will now turn his attention to a return in spring training. Sborz also dealt with shoulder problems in 2024 and totaled just 16 1/3 innings in the majors as a result. In his most recent full campaign, 2023, he logged a 5.50 ERA (3.35 xERA) with a 1.15 WHIP and 66:17 K:BB over 52 1/3 frames. While Sborz had trouble keeping runs off the board that regular season, he helped pitch the Rangers to a World Series title in the playoffs with 12 innings of one-run ball.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder
Alec Burleson (wrist) is expected to come off the 10-day injured list before Monday's series opener against the Seattle Mariners. Burleson will end up with a minimum IL stay after landing on the shelf with right-wrist inflammation on Aug. 29. He underwent a pain-killing injection shortly after going on the IL, and it helped lead to a quick recovery. The 26-year-old will return with a .286/.337/.451 line, 16 homers, 60 RBI, 47 runs scored, and five stolen bases over 472 plate appearances. With three weeks left in the season, Burleson will have a chance to reach the 20-HR mark for the second straight year.

Minnesota Twins outfielder
Byron Buxton (knee) exited the team's game against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday with a left-knee contusion. Buxton suffered the injury on a hit by pitch in the top of the fifth inning, but he stayed in until the Twins replaced him in center field with
James Outman in the bottom of the sixth. Buxton finished the afternoon 1-for-2 with a solo home run, giving him the first 30-homer season of his career. The oft-injured 31-year-old standout has played in 109 games - his most since 2017 - and slashed a robust .271/.332/.562 with 74 RBI, 85 runs scored, and 21 stolen bases in 467 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates on Buxton's knee.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander
Tomoyuki Sugano (foot) left his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday with discomfort in his right foot, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Sugano limped off the mound and into the clubhouse in the fourth inning after he was struck by a 95.8 mph grounder off the bat of
Hyeseong Kim. The Orioles replaced Sugano with lefty
Grant Wolfram, ending a rough afternoon for the 35-year-old. He allowed four earned runs on seven hits, including three homers, with one strikeout and no walks over three innings. In his first season in the majors, Sugano has gone 10-7 with a 4.57 ERA, a 1.34 WHIP, and 96:35 K:BB across 143 2/3 frames. He's scheduled to make his next start on Sept. 14 against the Toronto Blue Jays, but that could change depending on the severity of his foot injury.
Update: X-rays on Sugano's foot were negative, according to Kubatko.--Connor ByrneSource: Roch Kubatko - MASNSports.com

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop
Trea Turner (hamstring) exited Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins with a strained right hamstring, according to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Turner reached on an error in the seventh inning and then removed himself from the game. The Phillies subbed in
Edmundo Sosa to replace Turner, who finished the day 1-for-4 with a solo home run. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Turner end up on the 10-day injured list, which would be an unwelcome late-season development for both the Phillies and fantasy managers. The 32-year-old star has put together another terrific campaign, having slashed .305/.356/.458 with 15 homers, 69 RBI, 94 runs scored, and 36 stolen bases in 637 plate appearances. Turner is on track to win his second career batting title.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto is off on Sunday against the Athletics. Oswald Peraza will fill in at short and hit sixth versus A's right-hander Luis Severino. This appears to be a routine rest day for Neto, who has gotten off to a sluggish start in September. The 24-year-old has played in six games this month and gone just 2-for-21 with a home run, eight strikeouts, and two walks. Neto has put together an impressive season, though, having slashed .257/.317/.475 with a career-high 25 homers, 60 RBI, 81 runs scored, and 24 stolen bases in 533 plate appearances.

Chicago Cubs outfielder
Pete Crow-Armstrong (knee) is sitting on Sunday against Washington Nationals left-hander
Andrew Alvarez.
Kevin Alcantara will take PCA's place in center field and bat ninth. Crow-Armstrong left the Cubs' 2-1 loss to the Nats on Saturday shortly after fouling a ball off his right knee, but it seems he avoided any major damage. The team diagnosed Crow-Armstrong with a contusion, and he'll get at least one day off to recover from it. Although the 23-year-old All-Star had a terrible August (.446 OPS), he has still provided plenty of fantasy value this season with a .789 OPS, 28 homers, 85 RBI, 84 runs scored, and 32 stolen bases in 571 plate appearances.
