Chicago White Sox stretched a 10-4 lead into six innings, with Kyle Teel supplying a two-run homer and four RBIs while Luis Robert Jr. added a three-run double as part of an 11-hit attack. Yet Atlanta mounted a late charge, with Drake Baldwin delivering a two-run go-ahead single in the eighth after a five-run seventh and two more in the eighth, flipping an eventual 11-10 Braves win. The Sox bullpen faltered late, and manager Will Venable owned the missteps while praising his club’s early offense and baserunning pressure throughout the night.

Fantasy takeaway: Teel and Robert Jr. carried the big-game value, while Andrew Benintendi and Michael A. Taylor contributed multi-category upside in a crowded Sox lineup. For the Braves, Baldwin’s late heroics highlight the depth and clutch potential of Atlanta’s role players. The game underscored how quickly a game can swing on late-inning bullpen breakdowns and timely hits, a reminder to weigh bullpen volatility in late-week lineup decisions.

MLB Players' Weekend returns in style, with players donning tributes to off-field passions, charities and personal influences. Custom bats, cleats and gear dominated social posts as stars showcased whimsy and philanthropy alike, headlined by the Little League Classic between Seattle and New York. Standouts included Harrison Bader's Chug Jug training bat, Yohel Pozo's tribute to his son, and Vladdy Jr. sharing a wholesome birthday moment with Vlaimel. Julio Rodríguez and Francisco Lindor highlighted personal stories that connected on-field play to life off the diamond. The weekend stitched together on-field action with heartfelt causes and vivid fashion across MLB rosters.

Ronald Acuña Jr. returns to the Atlanta lineup, sticking in the third slot as the Braves welcome a Guardians visit. Sean Murphy comes back as well, batting seventh, while Drake Baldwin sits and Marcell Ozuna anchors the DH duties. Cleveland counters with a varied, leadoff-heavy mix: Steven Kwan leads off, Jose Ramirez sits in the prime third spot, and Kyle Manzardo, Daniel Schneemann, CJ Kayfus, Gabriel Arias, and Carlos Santana fill the middle of the order with notable xwOBA signals. The Guardians’ volatility mirrors a league-wide pattern of shifting lineups, while Atlanta’s dynamic through Acuña and company remains the central fantasy driver.

For fantasy managers, Acuña’s health and lineup position keep him near the top of the asset list, with power-speed upside in a top-tier slot. Ozuna’s DH assignment could cap his plate appearances but preserves upside in run production. Murphy’s return to catching duties reenters his fantasy calculus, especially in two-catcher builds or daily formats that prize lineup stabilization. Against a Guardians squad that has rotated through 109 lineups in 120 games, the Braves’ star power edges this matchup, while Cleveland’s leadoff edge with Kwan and Ramirez creates a dual-threat dynamic in DFS and daily fantasy markets.

Week 20 of the 2025 MLB season brings a targeted waiver-wire boost across five standard fantasy categories. Three solid options per category provide a mix of power, speed, and average help for shallow rosters. Key names to grab: Lenyn Sosa, Noelvi Marte and Luis Rengifo bolster Runs; Colson Montgomery, Matt Shaw and Kyle Manzardo supply Home Runs; Spencer Steer, Drake Baldwin and Blaze Alexander drive RBI; Bryson Stott, Andres Giménez and Jakob Marsee add Stolen Bases; Isaac Collins, Ernie Clement and Miguel Andujar push Batting Average. Rostering notes highlight multi-position eligibility and recent August upticks, making these plays viable streamers with strong rest-of-season upside.

These adds come with context: many carry at 35-50% ownership and are stepping into lineups with daily playing time or versatile infield/OF roles. Use them to shore up depth in counting stats while balancing risk in shallow leagues. The list emphasizes players with hot months and clear paths to plate appearance, elevating the chance of contributing across Weeks 20 and beyond.

Atlanta grabbed four wins in five against Miami, and fantasy managers got a handful of clear signal plays. Drake Baldwin jumped from prospect rumor to weekly streamer, homering and driving in runs in the series; Matt Olson and Michael Harris II supplied steady power and multi-hit nights, with Olson delivering a homer and two-hit effort. Marcell Ozuna contributed key hits, and the Braves’ lineup showed depth as Hurston Waldrep settled into a quality start and Edward Cabrera dazzled in a marquee Miami showing. Raisel Iglesias closed out a couple wins, underscoring Atlanta’s home-dominance edge at Truist Park over the Fish.
