Cubs rally with 3 runs in 9th to top Cardinals 5-4
Pinch-hitter Mike Tauchman doubled in Dansby Swanson with the winning run as the Chicago Cubs scored three times in the ninth inning to rally for a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardi...AUGUST 2 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dansby Swanson - Reaches three times in win Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Swanson continued his recent run of improved play and extended his hitting streak to three games. Over his last 10 contests, the shortstop is batting .343. It's been a disappointing season overall for Swanson, as he's batting just .223 with a .647 OPS, with the former in line to be a new career worst. However, he could be turning a corner, and fantasy managers should remain patient down the stretch based on Swanson's track record.

Seiya Suzuki - Hits 16th home run Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Suzuki recorded his second straight two-hit game and blasted his 16th home run of the season in the process. The outfielder hit a career-high 20 long balls last year, and after missing some time earlier this season with an oblique injury, he seems to be making a push to surpass that total.

Cody Bellinger - Hot streak continues Thursday Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Bellinger was part of a three-run rally for the Cubs in the ninth inning as he connected for his 11th home run of the season to cut his team's deficit to 4-3. Since returning from the injured list Tuesday, the 29-year-old has rattled off three straight multi-hit efforts with two home runs, five runs scored and five RBI. Bellinger is heating up at the right time for fantasy managers.

Cubs reliever Adbert Alzolay to have right forearm surgery
Chicago Cubs right-hander Adbert Alzolay will need surgery on his injured right forearmAUGUST 1 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mike Tauchman - Idle Thursday Tauchman isn't in the Cubs' lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.
Impact Tacuhman is not in the starting lineup for the third consecutive day after he didn't start in Wednesday's 13-4 victory over the Reds. Since returning from the injured list due to a groin injury, the 33-year-old is 4-for-31 in an 11 game span. Cody Bellinger is the designated hitter Thursday with Pete Crow-Armstrong entering the lineup in center field, batting eighth.

Adbert Alzolay - Will undergo surgery Alzolay will undergo surgery on his right forearm, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact The date of Alzolay's surgery and the type of procedure he will receive have yet to be determined, though more details will come once he receives a second opinion. The 29-year-old righty has been sidelined since May due to his forearm strain, and a return timeline likely won't be available until after he goes under the knife.

Kyle Hendricks - Grabs third win Hendricks (3-9) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Reds on Wednesday.
Impact Aside from a three-run home run by Jake Fraley in the fifth inning, Hendricks had a strong start. He didn't allow a baserunner the first time through the order and got through his five frames on 73 pitches (44 strikes). Hendricks ended July with a 5.25 ERA over 24 innings, winning two of his five starts and allowing a total of four homers. For the season, he has a 6.86 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 60:26 K:BB through 20 appearances (15 starts). He is projected to make his next start at home versus the Twins.

Benjamin Cowles - Likely out for season Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said Wednesday that Cowles will likely miss the rest of the minor-league regular season as a result of being hit on the wrist by a p...
Impact Cowles was placed on Somerset's 7-day injured list this past Saturday before he was dealt to the Cubs three days later as part of a two-prospect package that sent reliever Mark Leiter to the Yankees. The Cubs were presumably aware of the nature and severity of Cowles' injury before the trade was agreed upon, and the wrist issue shouldn't dramatically affect the 24-year-old infielder's long-term outlook. He had been in the midst of a productive season with Somerset prior to getting hurt, slashing .292/.372/.471 with nine home runs and 14 steals over 88 games.

Pete Crow-Armstrong - Solid effort in big win Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 13-4 win over the Reds. He also stole a base.
Impact The return of Cody Bellinger from a finger injury for Tuesday's game was seemingly bad news for Crow-Armstrong, though the former served as the DH the last two days, which kept Crow-Armstrong locked into center field. Bellinger should eventually see more time in the field, and Mike Tauchman is still around as well, so Crow-Armstrong could see his role decrease. The 22-year-old has struggled at the plate with a .194 average, though he has boosted his fantasy value with 19 stolen bases.

Nico Hoerner - Scores twice, steals base Wednesday Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 13-4 win over the Reds. He also stole a base.
Impact It's been a bit of a down year for Hoerner, who's batting .252 with a .670 OPS after hitting .283 with a .729 OPS last season. The infielder also has a solid total of 17 stolen bases this year, though he ran wild in 2023 with 43 steals. It doesn't seem like Hoerner will match last year's production overall, but if he can reach base consistently down the stretch, he could be a fantasy difference-maker due to his ability on the basepaths.
