Sabrowski comes off the 60-day IL after missing over three months with his elbow injury. He’ll be a middle-inning option for the Cleveland bullpen now that he’s healthy enough to compete in such a role.

The homer gives Crow-Armstrong 33 on the season, and nine of those have come in his torrid August. The 24-year-old MVP candidate also singled and walked while scoring a second run. A remarkable season for Crow-Armstrong that has shown that 2025 wasn’t just not a fluke, but a mere appetizer of what he’s capable of.

Arozarena hit two homers Saturday in the comeback victory over the Cubs — including the walk-off — and he went deep to leadoff the game for the second day in the row. That gave Seattle a 1-0 lead, and they were outscored 19-1 from that point on. Arozarena has enjoyed a very solid (probably last) season with the Mariners with 20 homers, 58 RBI and an .836 OPS.

Happ was one of two Cubs to drive in five runs — joining Pedro Ramírez — in a 19-2 shellacking of the Mariners. He hit one of two grand salamis — the other also by Ramírez — on the day, with his coming in the third inning off Bryce Miller. Happ has now plated 57 runners, and he’s up to 22 homers. Those numbers aren’t without their charm, but that .218 average leaves a lot to be desired.

After back-to-back walk-off losses, the Cubs decided to take that out of play and win by 17 runs. Ramírez was responsible for several of those plate-crossings, as he also scored three runs in the game. The 22-year-old infielder has his third homer of the year, and he’s hit a very solid .285/.343/.424 since being promoted. He may never be a star, but Ramírez has enough upside to someday be a fantasy regular.

In Bryce Miller’s last two starts, the Mariners have been outscored 41-2. The second number isn’t his fault, the first one he’s at least partially responsible for, obviously. The right-hander could not find the strike zone for the overwhelming majority of the outing, and he walked seven while throwing just 60-of-104 pitches for strikes. Miller was as good as any pitcher in baseball at one point, but he’s been borderline atrocious since the All-Star break. He’ll face the Blue Jays in Toronto next weekend if Seattle doesn’t alter the rotation.

Imanaga labored over his two innings, needing a whopping 72 pitches to get his six outs. The southpaw gave up a leadoff homer to Randy Arozarena, and then an error by Carson Kelly in the second allowed the second run to cross. It’s the second time in three starts that Imanaga has scuffled, with a 10-strikeout effort against the White Sox sandwiched between. Imanaga will get the chance to rebound against the Reds on Saturday.

Lake Bachar got the start and took the loss after giving up one run over his two innings. It’s also worth noting that Khristian Curtis worked the final three innings of this game, and was more effective while allowing no runs and no hits in that action. Mlodzinski will likely work in bulk again versus the Cardinals next weekend, but that hasn’t been made official just yet. You don’t need to wait for that news to not use him.

Snell has been outstanding since returning from the injured list, and has given up a total of two runs over those 17 innings with a K/BB of 18/7 in that timeframe. The left-hander whiffed six in this one, and generated a solid 17 swings and misses over 94 pitches — 62 of those for strikes. He’ll have a good chance to keep the good run going against the Tigers next weekend.

Adell drove in five runs over the last two days, and that brings his RBI total up to 79 on the season. He would need 21 more over the next 31 games to reach 100, but that’s not out of the question, especially since he’s stinging the baseball as of late.

DeLauter showed that the hamstring can’t be bothering him too much with a pair of three-baggers to give him three triples on the campaign. He also singled and walked to push his rookie slash to .288/.363/.450. When he’s been healthy enough to play, DeLauter has looked the part. The question is if he can stay on the field long enough for that to matter, at least in terms of fantasy prospectus.
