McCullers solid again, Tucker homers, Astros beat Angels 3-1

Goes deep in loss Lagares went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a loss to San Diego.
Impact The Padres threatened to win the game in a blowout, but Lagares' two-run shot in the seventh inning started a mini-rally by the Angels and made the final score respectable. The veteran outfielder has never been much of a power threat, and his five homers on the season are just one short of his career high set in 2015 with the Mets.

Goes deep Saturday Lagares went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Saturday's 4-1 triumph against the Rangers.
Impact Lagares opened the game's scoring with his third-inning solo blast to left though he struck out in his other two at-bats. The long ball was the 32-year-old's second in his last seven games --the same as his total from his first 84 -- and he should see more playing time if he continues to hit well.

Piles up three hits Monday Lagares went 3-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in Monday's 8-7 win over the Yankees.
Impact Lagares flew out his first at-bat but was able to notch a hit his next three times up. He hit a run-scoring triple in the sixth and then singled home what would end up being the game-winning run with two outs and two strikes in the eighth. It was his first three-hit game since August of 2019 as he raised his slash line to .245/.271/.371 with 23 extra-base hits, 30 RBI, 33 runs scored, a steal and 2:54 BB:K over 256 plate appearances. Lagares will have to fight for playing time in a crowded outfield between Justin Upton, Brandon Marsh, Jo Adell and Phil Gosselin.

Swats homer Tuesday Lagares went 2-for-5 with a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in a 14-8 win over the Orioles on Tuesday.
Impact Lagares capped the Angels' five-run second inning with a two-run homer to center field and knocked in another run with a single in the fourth frame. He has been mostly filling a reserve role of late -- prior to Tuesday, he had logged only three at-bats and hadn't gotten a hit since Aug. 17.

Headed for reserve role Lagares is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners and is expected to move into a bench role.
Impact The Angels promoted top prospect Brandon Marsh from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, and he's expected to immediately step in as Los Angeles' everyday center fielder. That will spell an end to Lagares' time as a regular, which wasn't especially fruitful for fantasy purposes. Even though he's currently in the midst of a five-game hitting streak, Lagares is still slashing a middling .226/.253/.353 on the season with only two home runs and one stolen base across 199 plate appearances.

Delivers walk-off hit Lagares went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Orioles.
Impact Lagares came through when it mattered most and ended the game with a two-run walk-off double against Cole Sulser. The 32-year-old has hit safely in seven of his last nine games but is slashing just .226/.249/.360 with two homers, 22 RBI, 22 runs scored and a 4:31 BB:K over 170 plate appearances.
