Chas McCormick - Riding five-game hitting streak McCormick went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base Sunday against Atlanta.
Impact McCormick earned his fifth start in a row and has tallied a hit in each game. In that stretch, he's maintained a .350 batting average with one home run, six RBI and four runs scored. In addition to the playing time security stemming from his strong play, McCormick should be helped by the absence of Aledmys Diaz (groin).

Jake Meyers - Swipes first bag Meyers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Sunday against Atlanta.
Impact Meyers recently lost out on regular playing time after falling into a lengthy slump, as he's hit only .188 with four RBI and two runs scored in 23 games since the All-Star break. However, the team was without Jose Altuve (shoulder) on Sunday and Aledmys Diaz (groin) is on the injured list. If Altuve remains out, that could open up regular playing time once again for Meyers.

The 28-year-old utilityman improved his slash line to .222/.265/.328 with 25 runs scored and 20 RBI through 198 plate appearances.

Ryan Pressly - Narrowly snags save Pressly allowed two runs on two hits in one inning against Atlanta on Sunday. He struck out one and earned a save.
Impact Sunday was the first time Pressly's been scored this month; he coughed up an RBI triple to Travis d'Arnaud and a run-scoring groundout to Vaughn Grissom before escaping with his 25th save. Pressly's ERA climbed to 3.11 with a 46:9 K:BB through 39 appearances. He's converted 25 of 29 saves on the year.

José Urquidy - Earns 12th win Urquidy (12-4) yielded two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over Atlanta.
Impact Urquidy coughed up a two-run shot to Matt Olson in the first inning before firing six scoreless frames. The 27-year-old has allowed fewer than three runs in five of his last six starts, posting a 2.52 ERA during that span. He lowered his season ERA to 3.63 alongside a 104:28 K:BB through 134 frames. Urquidy is projected to at home against the Orioles next weekend.

Impact Tucker is quickly approaching his first 20-20 performance at the MLB level; he's knocked 22 home runs and swiped his career-high 19th bag during Sunday's win. He's now slashing .260/.339/.475 with 82 RBI and 43 extra-base hits through 113 games. Tucker is now hitting .382 (21-for-55) during his active 13-game hitting streak.

Impact Taylor was placed on the injured list in early June with left elbow inflammation, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Aug. 11. After his second appearance Tuesday for Sugar Land, Taylor's elbow was bothering him again, but Click suggested that the southpaw isn't dealing with a major setback. All tests on Taylor's elbow revealed nothing concerning, so the 27-year-old could be cleared to restart his rehab assignment after a few days of rest.
