Javier Assad - Back in bullpen Sunday Assad tossed a perfect inning of relief Sunday in the Cubs' 10-2 win over the Royals.
Impact Assad had started in both of his previous two appearances, but he looks poised to stick in a relief role after the Cubs acquired Kevin Gausman and Clay Holmes prior to Aug. 3 trade deadline and broke them into the rotation last week. Pitching out of the bullpen for the first time since July 25, Assad made quick work of the Royals, needing just five pitches to retire the side and close out the blowout win. Expect most of Assad's opportunities moving forward to come in lower-leverage situations.

Matthew Boyd - Continues to provide length Boyd (8-1) earned the win against the Royals on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks in seven innings. He struck out three.
Impact The Cubs scored runs early and often Sunday, helping Boyd to mostly cruise through seven strong frames. The 35-year-old southpaw has been a model of consistency since the beginning of July, logging five quality starts in his past seven outings while tossing at least six innings each time during that period. Boyd will be looking to keep the good times rolling next in a favorable home matchup against the Cardinals, sporting a 3.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 66:23 K:BB over 79.2 innings.

Nico Hoerner - Tallies two hits, steal in win Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Royals. He also stole a base.
Impact Hoerner continued his strong play this month, as he's now slashing .314/.351/.543 with four extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs scored in nine August games. The speedy infielder is also now up to 18 stolen bases in 21 attempts this year, and he's closing in on his fifth straight 20-steal campaign. Hoerner's top fantasy asset remains his wheels, and he's able to swipe more bags when he's swinging a hot bat like he has been lately.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Michael Busch - Records three hits Sunday Busch went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Royals.
Impact Busch enjoyed a nice weekend series against Kansas City, going 6-for-12 with a walk and two runs scored across three games. It continues a good stretch of play this month for the first baseman, who is now sporting an .857 OPS with a home run, four runs scored and five RBI in nine August contests. Busch isn't quite matching last year's breakout campaign, but he's remained a solid fantasy contributor in 2026.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Alex Bregman - Tallies three hits, two RBI in win Bregman went 3-for-6 with a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Royals.
Impact Bregman has mostly underwhelmed in his first season with the Cubs, but he turned back the clock with a vintage productive performance Sunday. The veteran third baseman historically plays better down the stretch, and he should remain in the lineup most days as Chicago jockeys for playoff positioning. Bregman is now slashing .263/,317/.395 with a home run, six RBI and six runs scored across nine games this month.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Amaya - Crushes home run Sunday Amaya went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Royals.
Impact Amaya hit his fourth home run of the season in the seventh inning, getting him up to 21 RBI as well. The 27-year-old catcher has been splitting time behind the plate with Carson Kelly, with Kelly getting the start on both Friday and Saturday before taking a seat Sunday. Amaya is likely still the 1B to Kelly's 1A, so his overall fantasy value will be capped unless his role grows at some point, but he's capable of producing when given an opportunity.
