    Brewers' Luis Urias: Leaves with tight hamstring

    Urias left Sunday's game against the Nationals with right hamstring tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Urias' exit was reportedly precautionary, so it seems as though he'll be considered day-to-day for now. The Brewers have an off day Monday, so it's possible he returns Tuesday against the Mets without missing a start.

  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Day off Sunday

    Lux will sit Sunday against San Francisco, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Lux has had far more than a platoon role this season, though when he does sit, it usually comes against a left-hander. He'll rest here against a particularly difficult one in Carlos Rodon, with Hanser Alberto taking over at the keystone.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Giants' Thairo Estrada: Slugs homer Saturday

    Estrada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 3-2 win agains the Dodgers.

    Estrada put the Giants on the board against Clayton Kershaw in the second inning with a solo shot to left field. The long ball was his fourth of the season and extended his modest hitting streak to four games. Estrada has gone 1-for-3 in each of those four contests and has collected three RBI over that stretch.

  • Mark Mathias 2B | CIN

    Brewers' Mark Mathias: Impressive return to majors

    Mathias went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Nationals.

    Getting the start at second base and hitting ninth, Mathias helped spark a rally from an 8-1 deficit in the seventh inning when he took Patrick Corbin deep, but the Brewers ran out of time to tie things up. The 27-year-old has been extremely productive for Triple-A Nashville this season, slashing .325/.426/.526 through 34 games, but Saturday's homer and steal were his first for Milwaukee in three games as he's bounced on and off the roster. With Kolten Wong (calf) on the shelf, however, Mathias might get a chance to carve out a regular role in the majors in the short term.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Two-run homer in win

    Stott went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's victory over Arizona.

    Stott launched a two-run blast in the second inning that scored Matt Vierling, adding to the Phillies' early lead. The young shortstop struggled in April and May, but he has been on fire in June with hits in six of nine games. Stott also has four home runs this month to go with a .333 June batting average.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Blasts grand slam in win

    Albies went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.

    Albies punctuated Atlanta's eight-run seventh inning with a grand slam to produce the final score. He's hit safely in seven straight games with two homers and 11 RBI in that span, though he hasn't record a multi-hit effort during the streak. For the season, he's posted a .249/.289/.414 slash line with eight long balls, 33 RBI, 33 runs scored, three stolen bases and 15 doubles through 60 contests.

  • Mark Mathias 2B | CIN

    Brewers' Mark Mathias: Recalled by Brewers

    Mathias was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    Mathias appeared in a couple games for the Brewers in late May before heading back to Nashville, but he was brought back Saturday to take the roster spot of Kolten Wong (calf), who landed on the injured list. Mathias will provide infield depth for the Brewers until Wong is ready to return.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Catches breather Saturday

    Marte is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Marte does not sit much, but he will get a breather after snapping a three-game multi-hit streak Friday. Jake Hager will cover the keystone Saturday in Marte's place.

  • Michael Chavis 2B | CIN

    Pirates' Michael Chavis: Tallies 19th RBI

    Chavis went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Friday against Atlanta.

    Chavis hit a ground-rule double in the seventh inning to tally his 19th RBI of the season. He has three extra-base hits in his last nine games, also tallying four RBI and four runs scored in that span. Chavis should remain locked into the starting first base role while hitting cleanup so long as Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) remains sidelined.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | KC

    Diamondbacks' Josh Rojas: Sends home two in loss

    Rojas went 1-for-5 with a two-run double in Friday's loss against the Phillies.

    Rojas doubled home Jake McCarthy and Alek Thomas in the seventh inning to bring the game within one run, but the Phillies still escaped with a win. Rojas now has at least one hit in each of his last three games and in six of his last eight, going 8-for-32 (.250) with four extra-base hits in that longer span.
