Braves rally in Chicago to avoid a sweep as Ha-Seong Kim belts a 391-foot go-ahead three-run homer in the seventh, bringing in Albies and Harris II. Albies adds a solo shot in the eighth, and Eli White drives in a run to push the lead to 4-1. Bryce Elder works seven strong, one earned on four hits with six strikeouts, and Raisel Iglesias closes the door in the final frame. Momentum shifts home for a Seattle series, with Chris Sale set to start and a chance to carry this lift into a productive run for fantasy rosters.

Kyle Tucker finally snapped at Wrigley, belting a go-ahead three-run homer off Joey Wentz to lift Chicago to a 4-3 win over Atlanta. Shota Imanaga turned in six solid frames as the Cubs withstood a Braves rally, and Daniel Palencia closed it out. Tucker departed in the sixth with left calf tightness, adding another wrinkle to his injury-plagued season. The Cubs’ win showcased lineup depth, plus a defensive shuffle with Willi Castro spilling into right in the seventh.

With Tucker's health uncertain, address the Cubs' outfield depth and potential platoon options, especially Castro and Eli White, who contributed to the late-out effort. The injury history—finger issues and a hairline fracture—keeps Tucker on the fantasy radar for remaining weeks, but risk management becomes essential as Chicago navigates upcoming road trips and possible lineup tweaks.

Atlanta fell 13 9 to Chicago in a wild series opener that flipped early momentum. Spencer Strider could not locate the zone, delivering 3 innings of 10 hits and 7 earned runs, lifting his season ERA to 5.24. The Braves finally cracked the scoreboard when Ronald Acuña Jr drove in Matt Olson for the first run in the fifth, followed by Michael Harris II and Jurickson Profar launching two run homers in the sixth. Profar added a third run with a homer in the eighth as Vidal Bruján pushed Eli White across on an RBI single for a sixth run.

Chicago built the high scoring night by abusing Strider and then rolling with consistent power from its lineup, a sharp contrast to Braves on the road streak. Bryce Elder is lined up to take the ball next, in hopes of righting the ship for Atlanta. The White Sox prevailed with a homer heavy attack, making this opener feel like a swingy fantasy episode where multi category contributions from Acuña, Olson, Harris II, Profar and Bruján could shift the next day’s lineup chips.

Fantasy takeaway centers on the Braves to lean on Acuña Jr, Olson, Harris II and Profar for offensive consistency, with Bruján and Eli White offering depth and potential stolen base or run scenarios. Striders next start becomes a focal point for Braves backers, while Elders matchup will be watched closely for potential bounce back performances as Atlanta looks to even the series.

At the MLB Speedway Classic in Bristol, former Clemson baseball standout Eli White put on a spectacular performance for the Atlanta Braves. White belted two home runs and drove in four RBIs during the Braves' 4-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. His first homer, a three-run shot, traveled 411 feet in the second inning, giving the Braves an early lead. He followed that up in the seventh inning with a 413-foot blast, marking his sixth home run of the season and pushing his total RBIs to a career-high of 24.

In his sixth MLB season, White has played more games than ever before, showcasing his value to the team. His impressive batting average of .254 reflects his consistency at the plate. The game held at Bristol Motor Speedway, a site known for its rich sports history, was a memorable day for White, a testament to his growth and potential as he continues to shine in the major leagues.
