Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran had a solid overall offensive performance in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Astros. Duran went 4-for-4 with two singles, a double, a two-run home run, three runs scored, and a walk. The 27-year-old put the Red Sox ahead for good, taking an eighth-inning Kaleb Ort fastball to the opposite field, putting it in the Crawford boxes. Duran has been a five-category fantasy contributor this season, slashing .292/.350/.511 with 17 HR, 87 runs scored, 64 RBI, and 31 stolen bases in 576 plate appearances. He should continue to help fantasy managers down the stretch, especially if the Red Sox continue to produce overall offensively.


Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna continued to provide elite power in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Phillies. Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and two strikeouts. The 33-year-old clobbered a fifth-inning Zack Wheeler fastball 432 feet to straight-away center to put the Braves up by one. Ozuna has once again been a top fantasy contributor, slashing .309/.382/.597 with 37 HR, 80 runs scored, and 94 RBI in 531 plate appearances. Only Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani have more HR than Ozuna, proving that he is still an elite source of power for fantasy managers.


Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll had a good day at the plate in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins. Carroll went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, and a strikeout. The 24-year-old drove a fifth-inning Edward Cabrera fastball to the opposite field, placing it over the left-field fence for his 14th long ball of the season. Carroll's season numbers still leave a lot to be desired. However, he has picked things up in the second half of the season, slashing .252/.339/.612 with nine HR, 31 runs scored, 19 RBI, and three stolen bases in 103 at-bats. The lack of steals is disappointing, but fantasy managers can't complain too much given the amount of power Carroll has provided.


New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto continued his excellent offensive season in Tuesday's 9-5 extra-innings loss to the Guardians. Soto went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk, and a strikeout. The 25-year-old got things started for the Yankees, lining a first-inning Matthew Boyd offspeed pitch just over the right-field wall to score the first run of the game. Soto has been just as good as fantasy managers were expecting, even better in the power department. He now owns a .299/.431/.603 slash line with 35 HR, 104 runs scored, 88 RBI, and five stolen bases in 562 plate appearances.


New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge went 2-5 in Tuesday's ballgame with a homer, double, walk, and three RBI as his team lost to the Cleveland Guardians 9-5 in extra innings. Judge is having a historically good season in 2024, as he currently leads the league in homers (45), RBI (114), and OPS (1.172). The 32-year-old will continue to lead the Yankees down the stretch as they look to make the postseason and win the AL East division.
