Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte blasted a solo home run, his 28th of the season, Monday night in a 7-6 extra-inning victory versus the Cleveland Guardians. Marte wasted no time on Monday chasing the first pitch of the game from Logan Allen and dropping it over the fence. The switch-hitting veteran's power surge continues as tonight's home run makes it 11 long balls in the last month. He is also well on pace to break his single-season career-high in home runs (32) and RBI (92). The 30-year-old is in the midst of a career year and was undoubtedly one of the best bargains in fantasy drafts this season.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez smacked the longest homer of the 2024 season, his 13th on the campaign. The home run was a solo homer that landed at the top of the upper deck of Marlins Park in right-center field and traveled 480 feet at 116.4 mph. After the trade of Jazz Chisholm, Sanchez has been entrenched into the No. 3 spot in the lineup daily. The 26-year-old is slashing .241/.289/.414 with 13 home runs, 43 RBI, and eight stolen bases over 103 games in 2024. Sanchez produces enough to be rostered in 15-plus team leagues but will need to hit more to be added in standard 12-team formats.

San Francisco Giants closer Camilo Doval picked up his 21st save of the season in convincing fashion in a 4-1 victory over the Nationals. Doval came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by three and shut the door by striking out the side. The 27-year-old has converted 21 of 25 save opportunities this season and has provided a strong 12.00 K/9 rate. However, his 4.29 ERA is higher than fantasy managers would like to see, and it could be in part due to his bloated 5.57 BB/9 rate. Job security and high-end strikeout upside should keep Doval in the conversation as a higher-end fantasy option, but he will remain in just the mid-hier tier of options if his walk issues continue to plague him.

San Francisco Giants shortstop/outfielder Tyler Fitzgerald continued to provide plenty of power in Monday's 4-1 win over the Nationals. Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a single and a leadoff homer. The 26-year-old got things started for the Giants, jumping on a Patrick Corbin fastball and depositing it in the left-field seats for his 12th long ball of the season. Fitzgerald had an impressive HR streak in July and has now homered in back-to-back games and three of his last four. He is now slashing .314/.373/.650 with 29 runs scored, 24 RBI, and seven stolen bases in just 153 plate appearances. It seems unlikely that he will sustain this rate of high offensive production, but Fitzgerald is providing elite fantasy output right now.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman continued his strong offensive August in Monday's 4-1 win over the Nationals. Chapman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a strikeout. The 31-year-old obliterated a third-inning Patrick Corbin breaking ball deep into the left-field seats for his 18th long ball of the season. Chapman has already surpassed his HR total from last season and is batting .353 with three HR in 17 August at-bats. He has also cut his strikeout rate down to a respectable 23.9% and the Giants have started hitting better lately as a team, so he could be a fantasy catalyst for the month of August.
