Korey Lee’s two-way night headlines a rough White Sox showing, as he became only the third to catch and pitch in one game for Chicago, a feat last seen in 1902. In a 12-1 loss to Kansas City, Lee tossed two innings, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 31 pitches, mixing an 89.5 mph fastball with a 42.8 mph floater for laughs and edge.

He borrowed Colson Montgomery’s glove in the eighth and Shane Smith’s in the ninth, a childhood throwback that underscored his versatility and team-first mindset. While the night belonged to the Royals’ blowout, Lee’s moment carved a tiny, bright notch in White Sox lore.

The anecdote sits alongside Ohtani’s legendary two-way exploits as context, a reminder of the evolving two-way conversation in baseball while Lee’s feat remains a rare modern SF-style moment for Chicago.

Ohtani commanded the mound and the lineup, striking out nine over five innings while unveiling a curveball he’d been holding back. His new pitch helped limit Cincinnati to a single run and kept the Dodgers in control, while Teoscar Hernández, Michael Conforto, and the surprisingly productive pages in Andy Pages and Dalton Rushing supplied the offense. LA nudged ahead, threatening a sweep of the Reds and signaling Ohtani’s continued two-way value as a focal Dodgers weapon.

With five different contributors chipping in, including a late insurance blast from Conforto, the Dodgers showcased a balanced attack that should keep fantasy managers watching LA’s lineup as August unfolds. The combination of Ohtani’s evolving repertoire and a Saturday supporting cast hints at a broader role for him in both departments, strengthening his fantasy ceiling in all formats.

Dodgers 7, Reds 0 keeps LA in a tight NL West race with 30 games left. Pages ripped two homers as Lux's old team, Cincinnati, handed out rings to the champs while Sheehan logged seven scoreless innings. LA piled on late; the win underscored a healthier, deeper roster as the stretch drive begins.

Los Angeles received welcome returns from Scott and Yates; Kiké Hernández was activated, and Muncy and Kim could be back soon. With Betts, Freeman, and Teoscar handling the heart of the order, this team looks primed for another deep run, even as the Padres threaten down the stretch.

Milwaukee sits atop the MLB Power Rankings as NL West and AL West races tighten. Pasquantino anchors the Royals’ late-season surge after an AL Player of the Week run. Skenes continues historic ascent for Pittsburgh, while Laureano’s glove and Cal Raleigh’s season-long power pace shape the fantasy outlook. Ohtani’s Dodgers-Padres duel, Alvarez’s looming return, and Roman Anthony’s big-league debut add high-leverage fantasy angles for the stretch run.

Basallo’s starting role and Bubba Chandler’s arrival fuel waiver-wire chatter, and the piece blends current form with long-term upside to guide rosters through a chaotic, chaotic August-to-October sprint.
