Ceddanne Rafaela

BOS Center Fielder #43

Ceddanne Rafaela went 0-for-4 with two RBI and a caught stealing against the Blue Jays on Monday.

Rafaela was hitless on the night, but he still knocked in two runs. Maybe it’s not repeatable, but it’s impressive that the 24-year-old rookie has 73 RBI while mostly batting ninth this season. His .245 average isn’t pretty, but the RBI total to go along with 15 home runs and 19 stolen bases is valuable in fantasy. It also seems like Rafaela has the speed to steal a lot more bases if he could get on base at a higher clip next season.
Wilyer Abreu

BOS Right Fielder #52

Wilyer Abreu went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, a double and an RBI against the Blue Jays on Monday.

Abreu hit an RBI double off Chris Bassitt in the third inning to give the Red Sox a 2-0 lead. It was his 33rd double of the season. Abreu continues to show he can hit. He’s hitting .259 with 15 home runs, 58 RBI and eight stolen bases in 386 at-bats this year.
Chris Bassitt

TOR Starting Pitcher #40

Chris Bassitt allowed three runs (two earned) in 4 1/3 innings and took the loss against the Red Sox on Monday.

Bassitt gave up four hits, walked seven and struck out two. He also had a balk. Bassitt wasn’t hit hard, but was clearly off his game as he allowed seven free passes. It’s the second straight start where he’s failed to complete five innings. Bassitt is 10-14 with a 4.16 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 168 strikeouts in 171 innings on the season. The 35-year-old right-hander is lined up to face the Marlins at home on the final day of the season.
Tanner Houck

BOS Starting Pitcher #89

Tanner Houck tossed five scoreless innings and got the win in the Red Sox’ 4-1 victory over the Blue Jays on Monday.

Houck gave up one hit, walked one and struck out none. He threw just four innings in his last start as the Red Sox are managing his workload. Houck threw 60 pitches in his last start and 57 pitches on Monday. It’s unclear if the Red Sox will use him again against the Rays later this week, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if he’s shutdown. It might be a foregone conclusion that Houck is done if the Red Sox are eliminated from playoff contention. If his season is over, he finished 9-10 with a 3.12 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 154 strikeouts in 178 2/3 innings.
Cody Bellinger

CHC Center Fielder #24

Cody Bollinger went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Phillies on Monday.

Bellinger is in the middle of a 2-for-19 slump over his last five games. It hasn’t been a great season for him with a .263 average, 18 home runs and 73 RBI. Bellinger has five games to end it on a high note before heading into an offseason where he has a decision to make on the looming player option in his contract.
Kyle Schwarber

PHI Left Fielder #12

Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a solo home run against the Cubs on Monday.

Schwarber’s home run was his 37th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Caleb Kilian in the third inning. He’s hitting .250 with an .855 OPS and 100 RBI on the year. Schwarber hadn’t had 100 RBI in a season until 2023 and has now reached that milestone in two straight seasons.
J.T. Realmuto

PHI Catcher #10

J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Cubs on Monday.

Realmuto’s home run was his 14th of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Caleb Kilian in the second inning. Realmuto is 24-for-78 (.307) with six home runs and 17 RBI over his last 21 games. A midseason knee injury put a damper on his season, but he’s showing that he can still be a really good fantasy catcher.
Caleb Kilian

CHC Starting Pitcher #45

Caleb Kilian allowed six runs (five earned) in 5 2/3 innings and took the loss as the bulk reliever against the Phillies on Monday.

Killian gave up eight hits, walked four and struck out three. He was making his first appearance of the season. Killian had made four starts for the Cubs over the last two years and had a 12.42 ERA in those games. He didn’t do much better against the Phillies here. Killian is off the fantasy radar. It’s unclear if the Cubs plan on using him again in the final week of the regular season.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola allowed two runs in six innings and got the win in the Phillies’ 6-2 victory over the Cubs on Monday.

Nola gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out seven. He held the Cubs without a run for the first six innings, but ran into trouble in the seventh inning without recording an out. It was all fairly typical for Nola. With the Phillies clinching the division on Monday, he might not make another start in the regular season. If he doesn’t, he’ll finish the year 13-8 with a 3.52 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 190 strikeouts in 194 1/3 innings.
Luis Guillorme

ARI Second Baseman #13

Diamondbacks sent 2B Luis Guillorme outright to Triple-A Reno.

Guillorme was DFA’d last week. He could still be brought back if the D’backs run into any infield troubles the rest of the way.
