Miguel Amaya - Drives in two Saturday Amaya went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
Impact Amaya is now riding a modest two-game hitting streak but it's been a struggle overall for the catcher. He has just a .588 OPS through 83 games, which is a 100 point drop from his figure last season as a rookie. The 25-year-old was a fairly well-regarded prospect on his way up to the majors, but that has yet to translate to significant offensive success. Amaya should continue to see regular playing time, however, as journeyman Christian Bethancourt is the only other catching depth currently on the MLB roster.

Porter Hodge - Earns first MLB win Saturday Hodge (1-1) tossed a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the White Sox. He struck out one.
Impact Hodge continued his strong play and earned the first win of his MLB career Saturday. The 23-year-old rookie has a 2.36 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 30 strikeouts across his first 26.2 innings. The Cubs have gone with veteran Hector Neris as their closer this season, but he's on a one-year contract, meaning Hodge could potentially take over in 2025. The young righty has shown the stuff to be an effective closer at this level.

Héctor Neris - Secures 17th save Neris struck out two over a hitless and scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
Impact Neris' own error led to the leadoff batter in the ninth inning getting aboard, but he was sharp after that to preserve the lead. It was a more confident outing than his shaky performance Friday, though he was able to keep runs off the board in that game as well. Neris has allowed two runs and posted a 19:6 K:BB over his last 15.1 innings, collecting seven saves in that span. For the season, he has a 3.43 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 43:26 K:BB with 17 saves and three holds across 42 innings.

Justin Steele - Strong in no-decision Steele allowed an unearned run on six hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Saturday.
Impact Steele posted his second quality start in a row, but he didn't get enough run support while in the game to collect the win. The southpaw has allowed 16 runs (15 earned) over 43.2 innings across his last seven starts, but a pair of five-run outings have affected those numbers. For the year, Steele is at a 3.16 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 112:31 K:BB through 114 innings over 19 starts. He's projected to make his next outing at home versus the Blue Jays.

Nico Hoerner - Homers in win Friday Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.
Impact Hoerner isn't known as much of a power threat, as this was just his fifth home run of the season and first since June 30. Instead, the infielder is known for his speed, with 20 stolen bases for the season after swiping a career-high 43 bases last year. Hoerner has been making more solid contact lately, and if he can continue to get on base regularly, he should be able to make an impact on the basepaths for fantasy managers.

Isaac Paredes - Goes deep again Friday Paredes went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.
Impact Paredes teed off for his second home run in his last three games and 18th of the season. The infielder got off to a bit of a slow start after getting traded to the Cubs at the end of the July, but in those last three contests, he's gone 4-for-11 with the two long balls and seven total RBI. Paredes was having a solid season in Tampa Bay before the trade, and if he can sustain his recent level of play, a big finish could be in store with his new team.

Ian Happ - Blasts leadoff home run Happ went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.
Impact Happ took the fourth pitch of the game from Garrett Crochet deep for his 19th home run of the season and second in as many games. The veteran outfielder is closing in on his second consecutive 20-homer campaign, which would be the fourth of his career. Happ's career high in home runs is the 25 he recorded back in 2021. If he keeps up his recent power surge, that figure could be in sight soon.

Cody Bellinger - Stays hot in Friday's win Bellinger went 3-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.
Impact The 29-year-old took Garrett Crochet deep in the first inning, helping the Cubs jump out to an early 7-0 lead that the pitching staff nearly fumbled. Bellinger has been locked in since returning from a finger injury in late July, batting .361 (13-for-36) over his last nine games with three homers, eight runs and eight RBI.
