Wacha threw eight. Washington scored nine.
Friday was a 15-game slate with two different kinds of nights. Michael Wacha allowed four singles over eight shutout innings in Cleveland. The Washington Nationals scored nine against Miami.
AthX Engine put Wacha first among pitchers at 34 fantasy points. George Springer led hitters at 12. Washington led teams at 19.
These rankings are daily production. They are not share prices.

Wacha sat seven clear of Henderson. Skubal and Cease tied at 21, one in a 2-1 win over his former club, one in an 8-1 rout. Schlittler's 18.66 came in a 1-0 Yankees win over Boston. AthX Engine ranks the line, not only the decision.
Top hitters (AthX Engine, August 28, 2026)
| Rank | Player | Team | AthX Engine hitting FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | George Springer | Blue Jays | 12 |
| 2 | Michael Harris II | Braves | 11 |
| 3 | Jackson Merrill | Padres | 10 |
| 4 | Sal Stewart | Reds | 9 |
| 4 | Kazuma Okamoto | Blue Jays | 9 |

| 4 | Lars Nootbaar | Diamondbacks | 9 |
| 4 | Edmundo Sosa | Phillies | 9 |
| 4 | Chandler Simpson | Rays | 9 |
| 10 | Corbin Carroll | Diamondbacks | 8 |
Springer's 4-for-4 sat one clear of Harris. Sosa scored 9 on a pinch-hit grand slam. Merrill's 10 came in a 9-4 Padres loss at Tampa Bay. The hitter board does not require the W.
Six featured games from Friday
What stood out
Wacha's 34 points sat in a different sport from everyone except Henderson's one-hitter-in-all-but-name. A 3-0 eight-inning start with 10 strikeouts will do that. Washington still owned the team board because nine runs beat four singles as a club card.
Sosa ranking with Stewart and Okamoto on one swing is the board working as designed. So is Merrill at 10 in a loss.
