  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Drives in three in rout

    Guerrero went 2-for-2 with three walks, a double and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

    Arizona did its best to pitch around Guerrero, but the 26-year-old slugger still delivered a two-run double in the sixth inning and an RBI single in the seventh. It was his seventh multi-hit performance in 14 June contests, a stretch in which Guerrero is slashing .315/.403/.500 with seven doubles, one homer, two steals, eight runs and 11 RBI.

  • C.J. Kayfus 1B | CLE

    Guardians' C.J. Kayfus: Knocking on MLB door

    Kayfus is batting .318/.386/.583 with 22 extra-base hits, 22 RBI and 20 runs scored over 40 games for Triple-A Columbus.

    Kayfus has rocked two minor-league levels in 2025. He lasted just three weeks at Double-A Akron -- where he slashed .364/.475/.591 over 18 games -- before a promotion to the Clippers at the end of April. His primary position is first base, but the organization has him learning corner outfield. He's appeared in seven games (six starts) in left field and 17 (14 starts) in right. While he's currently blocked at first base by Carlos Santana and Kyle Manzardo, the Guardians are getting sub-par production in right field, which could be an option for Kayfus.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Homers in win

    Schanuel went 1-for-5 with a home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.

    Schanuel opened the scoring in the first inning Wednesday with a 396-foot blast off lefty Ryan Yarbrough, his fifth homer this season. The 23-year-old Schanuel has been hot at the plate, going 6-for-19 (.316) with a pair of long balls in his last four games. Overall, he's batting .281 with a .773 OPS, 37 runs scored, 25 RBI and three stolen bases across 297 plate appearances this year.

  • Nick Kurtz 1B | ATH

    Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Belts another ninth-inning homer

    Kurtz went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored, an additional RBI and a double in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

    Kurtz notched an RBI single in the sixth inning and added a solo blast to center field in the ninth. The long ball was Kurtz's third in his past four games, and all three have come in the ninth frame. The rookie slugger has collected his homers in bunches this season -- of his other five home runs, four came in a four-game span in late May.

  • Spencer Steer 1B | CIN

    Reds' Spencer Steer: Cranks two-run shot Wednesday

    Steer went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Twins.

    Steer walloped his sixth homer of the season and recorded his second game with multiple extra-base hits in 2025. The 27-year-old utility man had a sluggish start to his season while dealing with a shoulder injury, posting a .549 OPS through May 10, but he's settled in at the plate nicely over the past month-plus. Across his last 33 games, Steer is hitting .272 with three homers, seven doubles and 13 RBI.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Three hits Wednesday

    Aranda went 3-for-5 with two RBI on Wednesday against the Orioles.

    Aranda capped off the Rays' comeback win with a two-run single in the seventh inning. The performance marked his seventh multi-hit game across 16 starts in June, and he's gone 20-for-56 with 10 RBI, eight runs scored and one home run in that span.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Homers again

    Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Nationals.

    Toglia has started three straight games since being recalled by Colorado on Monday and has showcased the power that was missing earlier in the season. He homered in a second consecutive contest Wednesday with a solo blast in the sixth inning and has three total since his promotion. While that production is encouraging, he has struck out once in every contest and has a 38.2 percent overall strikeout rate across 220 plate appearances for the season.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Pushes hitting streak to nine games

    Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Mets.

    Olson blasted his 15th long ball of the season, pushing his hitting streak to nine games and his on-base streak to 25. During this latter period (110 plate appearances), the All-Star first baseman is slashing a healthy .271/.355/.542 with six big flies, eight doubles, 20 RBI and 16 runs scored. Olson has seen a considerable boost in RBI production since Ronald Acuna rejoined the lineup -- the former has collected 17 RBI over his last 23 games after recording just 28 across his first 49 outings without Acuna.

  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Almost back to throwing

    Manager Rob Thomson said Wednesday that Harper (wrist) has improved strength and range of motion, and the first baseman is "getting close" to throwing, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    The 32-year-old has been fielding grounders since landing on the injured list June 7 due to wrist inflammation, but he has yet to be cleared to resume throwing or swing a bat. Harper may not require a rehab assignment before rejoining the active roster, but he'll need to get back to full baseball activities before a potential return date comes into focus.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Sitting Wednesday

    Soderstrom is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Astros on Wednesday.

    Soderstrom will sit for the second time in four days while Max Schuemann, Denzel Clarke and Brent Rooker man the outfield for the Athletics. Soderstrom has gone 10-for-52 (.192) with two steals, one triple, two home runs and 10 RBI since the beginning of June.
