  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Two doubles in three-hit game

    Arraez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and four runs scored in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Arraez hasn't found any over-the-fence power in June, but he's gone 11-for-42 (.262) with five doubles across 10 games this month. He did his part to get on base frequently Tuesday, and Manny Machado benefited, knocking in Arraez three times in a five-RBI effort. Arraez is at a .281/.314/.405 slash line with three home runs, 15 doubles, three triples, 25 RBI, 31 runs scored and three stolen bases over 60 games this season. He continues to switch between first base and designated hitter, sharing both positions with Gavin Sheets.

  • Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Goes yard Tuesday

    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.

    Lowe extended his hit streak to four games and snapped a 19-game homerless drought when he clubbed a first-inning homer off Griffin Canning. The long ball was Lowe's ninth of the year, and he's slashing .230/.293/.381 with 41 RBI and 22 runs scored over 276 plate appearances.

  • Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Nationals recalled Chaparro from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

    Chaparro was sidelined for the first two months of the season with a strained oblique, but he's earned a promotion after batting .304 with five home runs in 15 games with Rochester. The 26-year-old could see regular playing time against left-handed pitching.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Belts 14th homer

    Olson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in a 7-1 win against Milwaukee on Monday.

    Olson broke a 1-1 tie and put Atlanta up for good with a two-run blast to center field in the fifth inning. The veteran first baseman has knocked in eight runs over his past five contests despite going a modest 4-for-16 at the plate during that span. Olson has also walked six times during the five-game stretch, and all four of the hits (two doubles and two homers) have gone for extra bases. He's up to 14 home runs, 39 RBI and an .817 OPS on the campaign.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: Goes grand for walk-off

    Naylor went 3-for-5 with a grand slam, an RBI double, a walk and two total runs scored in Monday's 8-4 extra-innings win over the Mariners.

    Naylor entered Monday in a 2-for-21 skid to begin June. The first baseman broke out in a big way, which included his first two extra-base hits of the month, the latter of which was a walk-off grand slam in the 11th inning. Naylor is up to a .290/.346/.457 slash line with eight homers, 44 RBI, 32 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and nine stolen bases over 64 contests this season.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Three-hit effort in win

    Freeman went 3-fo-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Padres.

    Freeman had been in a bit of a rut prior to Monday, going just 1-for-16 with two walks and six strikeouts over his last five games. He broke out of the slump with his third multi-hit effort of June. The first baseman has been one of the hottest hitters in the majors since late April, so a brief slump is nothing to be worried about. He's posted a .351/.418/.591 slash line with nine home runs, 41 RBI, 36 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases through 56 games.

  • Spencer Steer 1B | CIN

    Reds' Spencer Steer: Not in lineup Monday

    Steer is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    With Steer getting the night off against Cleveland right-hander Luis L. Ortiz, Christian Encarnacion-Strand will man first base and bat cleanup. Santiago Espinal is at third base and batting seventh. Steer is slashing .226/.294/.327 with four home runs, 20 RBI, 24 runs scored and three stolen bases across 238 plate appearances this season.

  • Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Three hits in Sunday's loss

    Lowe went 3-for-4 with a double in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

    The first baseman produced his first three-hit performance since May 3, accounting for half of the Nationals' knocks on the day. Lowe's homer drought stands at 19 games, but his bat may be coming around -- over the last 10 contests, he's batting .289 (11-for-38) with two doubles and six RBI.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Plates three in loss

    Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run double and an RBI fielder's choice during Sunday's 4-3 loss to San Francisco.

    Olson notched his second three-RBI game of the campaign Sunday and has logged a hit in nine of his last 11 appearances. The first baseman is 10-for-40 (.250) with eight RBI, seven runs scored and a 7:9 BB:K during that span. On the year, Olson is slashing .236/.342/.460 with 13 long balls.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Stays hot in win

    Encarnacion-Strand went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Encarnacion-Strand got the Reds on the board with a 403-foot blast in the fourth inning. He enjoyed an ideal return to action over the weekend, homering in all three games while collecting seven hits and six RBI. The 25-year-old is now slashing .229/.257/.486 with five home runs, 11 RBI and seven runs scored across 74 plate appearances this season, and he earned his second start at third base Sunday.
