Harper went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Athletics.

Harper's solo home run in the seventh inning marked a personal milestone, as he has now homered against all 30 major-league organizations. He also walked twice and added a two-run double in his best effort since returning from the injured list July 9. With one game to go before the break, the National League's starting first baseman in the upcoming All-Star Game is batting .303 with 21 home runs, 61 RBI, 55 runs and four steals across 354 plate appearances.

Bell went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and one additional RBI in Saturday's 10-6 loss to the Reds.

The homer was Bell's first since June 21 and his ninth this season. He's had a disappointing first half with a .230/.292/.360 slash line through 93 games. Bell's strikeout rate isn't far off from his career norm, but the power metrics have cratered and he's not walking as much. The 31-year-old impending free agent will presumably be shipped out of Miami at the trade deadline.

Wade isn't starting Saturday's game against the Twins, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade recently battled a tight hamstring and didn't play Thursday, though he was back in San Francisco's lineup Friday. There's no word that he aggravated the issue, but it's a bit surprising to see him not starting against a right-hander (Simeon Woods Richardson). Wilmer Flores is playing first base and batting seventh for the Giants on Saturday.

Goldschmidt isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Goldschmidt will take a seat to begin Saturday's activities after putting together a five-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 6-for-22 with two homers and four RBI. His absence will move Alec Burleson to first base, allowing Willson Contreras to serve as the DH with Pedro Pages at catcher.

Encarnacion-Strand underwent surgery Thursday to repair ligaments in his fractured right wrist, MLB.com reports.

The recovery time is estimated to be three months, which means Encarnacion-Strand is unlikely to return until the 2025 season. The Reds have been getting by with a combination of Spencer Steer and Jeimer Candelario at first base since Encarnacion-Strand landed on the injured list May 8.

Freeman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Tigers.

Freeman hit a solo home run off Tarik Skubal in the fourth inning and added a single in the eighth. He went 0-for-10 in a tough series against the Phillies but rebounded with his fourth multi-hit effort in 10 July games. On the season, the eight-time All-Star is hitting .294 with 14 homers, 59 RBI, 56 runs scored and four steals across 415 plate appearances.

Wade (hamstring) is batting second and playing first base Friday against Minnesota, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wade sat out Thursday's contest with hamstring soreness, but he's feeling well enough to play Friday. The 30-year-old is 5-for-20 with a solo home run and a double in July.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

Tellez went 5-for-14 with a double and a homer while starting the previous four games, but he'll sit Friday as lefty Garrett Crochet pitches for Chicago. Connor Joe will start at first base and bat third.

Yepez went 1-for-2 with two walks and a double in Thursday's loss to the Mets.

Since taking over the starting job at first base for the Nationals, Yepez has hit safely in seven straight games, batting .308 (8-for-26) with four doubles, two RBI and 4:5 BB:K. Joey Gallo (hamstring) likely won't be ready to come off the IL immediately after the All-Star break, but if Yepez keeps producing, he may not give the job back whenever the veteran slugger does get activated. Gallo's .606 OPS through 165 plate appearances this season is a career low, and Washington has already cut loose struggling players who don't factor into their future plans like Eddie Rosario and Nick Senzel.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 8-0 win over the Orioles.

Busch extended his hitting streak to eight games, and he has eight hits in the last three contests alone. The first baseman has used the hot streak to push his batting average up to .278 and his OPS to a robust .853. Busch continues to see regular playing time in his first season with the Cubs, and he should remain locked into fantasy lineups, particularly while he's producing like this.
