A 14-11, two 33s, and a 41st homer
September 22, 2026 was a 15-game Tuesday. The Chicago White Sox scored 14 and still needed them after Vinnie Pasquantino hit a ninth-inning grand slam. Jared Jones retired the first 16 Cardinals. Carlos Rodón threw eight scoreless in a doubleheader opener. Yordan Alvarez hit his 41st, and Houston tied Texas atop the AL West.
That is the board: a team table the White Sox owned at 20 FP, a pitcher table Jones and Rodón shared at 33, and a hitter table that started with Randal Grichuk and Pasquantino at 15.
Top team fantasy scores (Tuesday, September 22, 2026)
| Rank | Team | AthX Engine FP | Final | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chicago White Sox | 20 | 14-11 | White Sox vs Royals |
| 2 | Los Angeles Dodgers | 17 | 7-0 | Dodgers vs Padres |
| 3 | Houston Astros | 17 | 7-0 | Astros vs Mariners |
| 4 | Miami Marlins | 17 | 8-2 (12) | Marlins vs Cubs |
| 5 | Arizona Diamondbacks | 15 | 7-2 | Diamondbacks vs Rockies |
| 6 | Athletics | 14 | 9-7 | Carlos Cortes and Zack Gelof went deep (ESPN) |
| 7 | New York Mets | 12 | 6-3 | Sean Manaea struck out nine (ESPN) |
| 8 | Philadelphia Phillies | 11 | 6-4 | Brandon Marsh homered and doubled (ESPN) |
| 9 | Tampa Bay Rays | 11 | 0-2, 6-1 | Split a doubleheader; Drew Rasmussen had 11 K in Game 2 (ESPN) |
| 10 | Cincinnati Reds | 11 | 4-0 | Elly De La Cruz homered in a shutout of Atlanta (ESPN) |
Chicago sits first because a 14-11 with four homers fills a team table the way a 2-0 does not. Three shutouts sit 2-4-and-off-the-board: Los Angeles and Houston at 17, Miami at 17 after 12 innings, Pittsburgh at 7 after Jones's 33. The recaps followed the team board and the pitcher who owned the night.

Jones and Rodón tied at 33, one in a 2-0 and one in a 2-0 doubleheader opener. Rasmussen's 11 strikeouts sat third after the Rays took Game 2. Soroka did it at Coors. Imanaga sat ninth in a 12-inning loss. The ranking is the line. It is not who started the highest-scoring game.
Top hitters (AthX Engine, September 22, 2026)
| Rank | Player | Pos | Team | AthX Engine FP | Line |

| 5 | CJ Abrams | SS | Nationals | 12 | 2-for-4, 2 HR, 3 RBI |
| 6 | Kyle Stowers | OF | Marlins | 12 | 2-for-4, 1 HR, 1 2B, 2 RBI |
| 7 | Carlos Cortes | OF | Athletics | 12 | 2-for-2, 1 HR, 1 3B, 3 RBI |

Grichuk took the hitter board on a 4-for-5 that missed the cycle by a triple. Pasquantino matched him on a slam in a loss. Meidroth's five RBI sat third. Abrams hit two in a 3-1 in Detroit. Alvarez's 41st sat eighth. Nate Lavender, JR Ritchie, Ty Johnson, Erik Tolman, Jack Sinclair, and Noah Schultz were filtered off this table. The hitter board is for bats.
Six featured games from Tuesday
What stood out
The pitcher board belonged to innings that did not need 14 runs. Jones and Rodón tied at 33 on two 2-0s. Rasmussen and Soroka sat next. The 14-11 still owned the team table because four homers and a slam fill a club score the way a one-hitter does not.
The hitter board split a 14-11 down the middle. Grichuk and Pasquantino tied at 15, one on the winning side and one on the slam. Abrams's two homers sat fifth. Alvarez's 41st sat eighth and still moved a division race. That is the version of Tuesday the recaps followed: the loudest team night, three shutouts, a 12-inning spoiler, and the pitcher who retired the first 16.
