Profar went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta scored only one run on the night, and it came when Profar spoiled Edward Cabrera's shutout bid in the sixth inning. Profar has gone yard three times in the last five games, and he's been setting the table effectively for the team from the leadoff spot -- over his last 16 games, he's slashing .238/.377/.460 with with two steals, six RBI, nine runs and a 13:13 BB:K.

Chisholm isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Although Chisholm doesn't typically step out of the lineup against southpaws, the Yankees will keep him and his left-handed bat on the bench Saturday against fellow lefty Framber Valdez. Jose Caballero will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth.

Wells isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Wells will get a breather Saturday while the lefty-throwing Framber Valdez takes the mound for the Astros. Ben Rice will start behind the plate and bat fifth.

Hernandez isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

After going 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Friday's win, Hernandez will step out of the starting nine for the first half of Saturday's twin bill. His absence will create an opening in the lineup for Dane Myers to start in left field while batting sixth.

Vierling appeared as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling pinch hit for Kerry Carpenter in the eighth inning to face Los Angeles lefty Reid Detmers, and Vierling promptly launched a home run to erase a 5-3 deficit. While Vierling has struggled for much of the season, he has been better lately with a .273 batting average over his last 15 games. The veteran should continue to see regular time in center field with Parker Meadows (quad) on the injured list.

Lopez isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez will grab a seat in the dugout to begin Saturday's activities after going 2-for-8 with a run scored through the first two games of the series. Javier Sanoja will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Torkelson went deep for the second straight game, and he now has 25 long balls this season. That puts him within one of Riley Greene's team-leading total, and Greene has only gone deep once over his last 16 games, so Torkelson could catch him soon at this rate. The 25-year-old is also approaching his career high of 31 home runs, which he recorded back in 2023.

Melton (2-1) allowed one run on two hits across 3.1 innings of relief to earn the win Friday against the Angels. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Starter Tarik Skubal had an uncharacteristically poor start and only lasted 4.2 innings, which opened the door for Melton in the middle of the contest. The rookie looked good for the second straight game in relief, and he's only allowed one run over 5.1 innings since shifting to the bullpen. The long-relief role limits Melton's fantasy upside the rest of the season, though it looks like he'll be an important player for the Tigers down the stretch.

Brasier allowed two runs on three hits across an inning of relief in Friday's 5-0 loss to the Cardinals. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Brasier allowed at least one run in a third straight appearance, and over his last five outings, he's allowed a total of eight earned runs. Before the rough patch, the veteran righty had a 0.93 ERA for the season, but that's climbed to 3.91. Brasier should still see some important innings out of Chicago's bullpen moving forward, though he won't get save opportunities with Daniel Palencia emerging as the team's closer. New acquisitions Taylor Rogers and Andrew Kittredge also figure to see more high-leverage work than Brasier, which limits the latter's fantasy appeal.

The Marlins added Gusto to their roster as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Gusto will make his Marlins debut Saturday while starting the first game of Saturday's twin bill. The 26-year-old rookie logged a 4.92 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 86 innings with the Astros, though he pitched six innings of one-run ball during his most recent MLB outing July 30 against Washington. He'll likely head back to Triple-A following the doubleheader.
