Ryan Vilade contributed significantly in the Tigers' 11-7 victory over the Guardians, going 2 for 4 with a walk, two singles, and three RBI.

Anthony Volpe played a key role in the Yankees' 10-3 victory over the Astros, going 1 for 5 with a home run and three RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance, highlighted by his power display, should reassure fantasy managers about his potential for run production, despite a batting average that hovers around the .250 mark. His ability to contribute across multiple categories, with 24 runs scored and 7 stolen bases so far this season, keeps his fantasy stock stable.

Seth Brown went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Athletics' 15-8 loss to the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact: This season, Brown has struggled mightily at the plate, posting a meager .179 batting average with a high strikeout rate. His power stroke in this game could hint at potential improvements, but fantasy managers should remain cautious given his overall performance this year.

Willy Adames went 1-for-4 in the Brewers' 6-5 win over the Royals, delivering a key home run along with three RBI and scoring once.

Pete Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and three RBI in the Mets' 7-5 victory over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: This performance might seem like a beacon of hope for fantasy managers, but it's just a small uptick in what has been a challenging season for Alonso. With a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .212 and a BABIP of .206, it's clear Alonso has been struggling to find consistent success at the plate.

Alex Verdugo went 3-for-5 in the Yankees' 10-3 victory over the Astros, including a home run and four RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Verdugo's solid contribution to the Yankees' lineup, particularly his ability to drive in runs, evidenced by his season RBI tally now standing at 21.

Cal Raleigh went 1-for-1 with a home run, two runs scored, and four RBI in the Mariners' 10-6 victory over the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a season average of .213, Raleigh's power numbers have remained solid with nine homers. His high strikeout rate (.331) is an issue, but a low BABIP (.237) suggests some bad luck as well.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Muncy's ability to contribute significantly for the Dodgers. His season-long stats, including a .263 batting average and nine home runs, make him a solid power-hitting option at third base. While his strikeout rate remains high, his consistent RBI production and slugging ability should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.

Bryce Harper went 3-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, and two runs scored in the Phillies' dominant 10-1 victory over the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact: This game continues a positive uptick in Harper's season. He's homered in three straight games and is now batting .263 with nine homers and 28 RBI through 33 games.

Corbin Carroll went 2-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in the Diamondbacks' 6-2 victory over the Reds.
