Crow-Armstrong hit three. Sánchez still owned the mound.
Saturday was a 17-game slate with two doubleheaders, and Wrigley still swallowed it. Pete Crow-Armstrong hit three homers in a 17-5 win. Cristopher Sánchez threw seven scoreless in Anaheim and did not even get the decision.
AthX Engine put the Chicago Cubs first among teams at 32 fantasy points. Sánchez led pitchers at 28. Crow-Armstrong led hitters at 23.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chicago Cubs | 32 | 17-5 | Cubs vs Reds |
| 2 | Kansas City Royals | 16 | 8-3 | Royals vs Guardians |
| 3 | New York Mets | 13 | 6-2 | Mets vs Astros |
| 3 | Pittsburgh Pirates | 13 | 6-2 | Road win at St. Louis |

| 8 | Baltimore Orioles | 10 | 5-3 | Road win at Athletics |
| 10 | Philadelphia Phillies | 9 | 4-2 (10) | Phillies vs Angels |
Chicago sat 16 points clear of Kansas City. Four clubs tied at 9 team FP (Phillies, Nationals, Giants, Red Sox). Philadelphia takes the 10th row because that extras win has a recap.
The Yankees' 12 FP is the full Saturday: a shutout loss in the June 6 makeup, then 9-2 in the nightcap. Arizona's 12 is the same story in San Francisco, a split.
Top pitchers (AthX Engine, August 29, 2026)
| Rank | Player | Team | AthX Engine pitching FP |

| 7 | José Soriano | Blue Jays | 16 |
| 8 | Sean Newcomb | White Sox | 15 |
| 9 | Bailey Ober | Twins | 14 |
| 10 | Matt Wilkinson | Giants | 13 |
Sánchez left a 1-0 game in the eighth and still led the board. Snell struck out 10 in five innings at Comerica and did not take the loss. AthX Engine ranks the line.
Top hitters (AthX Engine, August 29, 2026)
| Rank | Player | Team | AthX Engine hitting FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pete Crow-Armstrong | Cubs | 23 |
| 2 | Carson Kelly | Cubs | 13 |

| 6 | Josh Rojas | Royals | 10 |
| 6 | Andrew Benintendi | White Sox | 10 |
| 9 | Jared Young | Mets | 9 |
| 9 | Lars Nootbaar | Diamondbacks | 9 |
Four Cubs occupy the top of the hitter table. That is a 17-5 afternoon, not a coincidence. Rojas scored 10 after entering as a pinch hitter. Nimmo scored 11 in a Rangers loss at Milwaukee.
Six featured games from Saturday
What stood out
Crow-Armstrong's 23 points sat in a different pile from everyone else. Three homers and six RBI will do that. The Cubs still needed Kelly, Bregman, and Suzuki to turn 23 into a 32-point team night.
Sánchez, Kelly, Bennett, and McLean stacked the pitcher board with zeros. Snell ranking fifth in a 2-1 loss is the board working as designed. The Yankees cracking the team top 10 after getting shut out at 1:05 is the doubleheader tax: Game 2's nine runs still count.
