The first baseman is at 18 homers on the year, but he's bounced back nicely after lacking in power in June. For the season, he's slashing .219/.309/.442 with 55 RBI, 35 runs scored, two stolen bases and nine doubles over 327 plate appearances.

Jackson Chourio - Smacks homer in win Chourio went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.
Impact Chourio has six multi-hit efforts and three homers over his last eight games, batting .424 (14-for-33) in that span. The outfielder's surge to start the second half has him up to a .262/.307/.424 slash line with 12 homers, 44 RBI, 46 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 93 contests this season. Chourio's place in the lineup should be even safer over the final two months with Christian Yelich (back) having an uncertain timeline to return.

Colin Rea - Yields two homers Monday Rea allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Monday.

This was the fourth time all year Rea has been tagged for multiple homers, and he's taken a no-decision in each of those instances. The veteran right-hander is now at a 3.59 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 90:35 K:BB through 115.1 innings over 21 appearances (18 starts). Rea is tentatively projected to make his next start on the road versus the Nationals.

Frankie Montas - Traded to Milwaukee The Brewers acquired Montas from the Reds on Monday in exchange for outfielder Joey Wiemer, right-hander Jakob Junis and cash considerations, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact Montas will remain in the NL Central, heading to Milwaukee after compiling a 5.01 ERA and 1.44 WHIP with 78 strikeouts over 93.1 innings in 19 starts with the Reds this season. The right-hander has had a rough three-start run since July 10, allowing 16 runs over 16 innings, raising his ERA from 4.19 to 5.01.

That means Williams will unavailable Monday against Atlanta should a save chance arise.

Trevor Megill - Heads to IL with back injury The Brewers placed Megill on the 15-day injured list with a lower-back injury, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
Impact Megill will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the damage, but the team has already deemed it bad enough to require a stint on the IL. Between this injury and Devin Williams' return to the closer role, fantasy managers should now feel safe in cutting Megill loose.
