What happened: Gasper has 10 hits, including three doubles and five home runs, in 24 August at-bats. An Aug. 25 wall double was his eighth of 2026.
Why it matters: The blend of power and plate discipline strengthens his case for regular at-bats as September approaches. He entered August without a major-league home run this season.
By the numbers: August: .417/.576/1.167 with a 1.743 OPS, 12 RBIs, seven walks and six runs in 33 plate appearances.
What to watch: Watch whether Gasper maintains his strike-zone control and carries the power surge into September.
