Mookie Betts - Drives in four in loss Betts went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, two walks, four RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 13-8 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Betts has hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games, going 14-for-43 (.326) in that span. He accounted for all of the Dodgers' damage off Michael McGreevy in this contest. The late surge has helped Betts recoup a little fantasy value late in the year after a rough start to the campaign. Overall, he's batting .242 with a .715 OPS, 16 home runs, 51 RBI, 18 doubles, 52 runs scored and one stolen base over 101 games.

Tommy Edman - Supplies three hits in loss Edman went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 13-8 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Edman had gone just 2-for-16 over his previous four games. The utility man was able to deliver a decent performance Tuesday despite the high-scoring loss. Edman is batting .268 with a .748 OPS, five home runs, 28 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles, two triples and five stolen bases over 61 contests.

Eric Lauer - Torched for seven runs Lauer (8-7) allowed seven runs on eight hits, one walk and one hit batsman while striking out two over three innings to take the loss versus the Cardinals on Tuesday.
Impact Lauer was tagged for a pair of home runs in the second inning, but it was a parade of hits in the third inning that brought his start to an early end. With 20 runs allowed (19 earned) over his last 20.1 innings, Lauer is stumbling to the finish line this year. However, the Dodgers need him in the rotation while Roki Sasaki (finger) is out, as Justin Wrobleski has moved to the bullpen. Lauer has put up a 5.23 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 72:35 K:BB through 108.1 innings over 22 games (18 starts) this season. His next start is tentatively projected to be at home versus the Nationals over the weekend. The Dodgers' pitching plans for the next turn through the rotation likely hinge on Shohei Ohtani's availability to take the mound after he was scratched from a start Sunday versus Detroit due to ongoing knee and biceps concerns.

José Fermín - Swipes bag Fermin went 1-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 13-8 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Fermin was atop the order for the second time in five games. He hasn't shown a ton of speed in his first full big-league season, swiping eight bags over 100 games, though he hasn't been caught stealing either. Fermin is batting .240 with a .659 OPS, six home runs, 35 RBI, 25 runs scored and 14 doubles, which isn't exactly a prototypical stat line for a leadoff man, but he fills that role versus southpaws.

Joshua Báez - Pops homer Tuesday Baez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 13-8 win over the Dodgers.
Impact This was Baez's second homer in his last three games. Aside from a three-homer debut, he has struggled a bit in adjusting to the majors. He's batting .175 with a .764 OPS, six homers, 11 RBI, nine runs scored, two doubles and two stolen bases over his first 17 games. Baez is also striking out at a 37.1 percent rate, which is a red flag considering he struck out at a 29.6 percent clip in Triple-A prior to his call-up.
