Drury went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.

Drury's ninth-inning solo shot came with the Reds far out of contention for a win, but it at least gave fantasy managers who roster him something to smile about. The long ball was his 16th of the campaign, tying the career-best mark he established in more than twice as many games in 2016. Drury's breakout 2022 campaign also includes a solid .279/.337/.541 slash line and 40 RBI over 267 plate appearances.

Rosario went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Rosario is hot to end June, hitting safely in nine of his last 10 games. He's gone 18-for-40 (.450) in that span, though only four of those hits have gone for extra bases. The shortstop has raised his batting average from .265 to .293 in that span, and he's up to a .723 OPS after Wednesday's impressive performance. He's added nine steals in 11 attempts, two home runs, 22 RBI and 39 runs scored through 285 plate appearances.

Urias went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Rays.

The 25-year-old launched a two-run shot during Tuesday's victory and went deep again during Wednesday's contest. Urias posted a .478 OPS across his first 19 games in June, but he's gone 6-for-14 with two home runs, a double, six RBI and three runs in his past four contests.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to a sore left hand, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The lefty-hitting Gorman was on the bench for Tuesday's win while lefty Braxton Garrett was on the hill for Miami, but the hand injury explains why the rookie is out of the lineup Wednesday against a righty (Sandy Alcantara). According to Jones, Gorman initially picked up the injury in Monday's 9-0 loss, when he fouled a ball off the bottom of the hand. He was able to field grounders and take swings Wednesday, and with the benefit of a team off day Thursday, Gorman could be ready to play this weekend in Philadelphia. Brendan Donovan will replace Gorman at the keystone in Wednesday's series finale.

Miller is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Miller is on the bench for the second game in a row, after he was excluded from the lineup for the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader. With Franmil Reyes back from the injured list and Oscar Gonzalez having taken hold of an everyday role in the outfield, Miller looks like he'll be playing on only a part-time basis versus right-handed pitching. Miller should still have a regular spot in the lineup versus lefties.

The Mariners recalled Haggerty from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

The addition of Haggerty, who has played second base, shortstop and all three outfield spots between the majors and minors this season, will give Seattle some more versatility off the bench. The Mariners optioned corner infielder Kevin Padlo to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for Haggerty.

Rosario went 4-for-8 with two RBI and a run scored across both halves of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

Rosario went 3-for-4 in the afternoon game, which included the game-winning hit, a two-run single in the eighth inning. He was a little quieter in the nightcap. His four hits paced the team in the doubleheader, as all other Guardians hitters combined for six hits across the pair of contests. The shortstop is slashing .282/.314/.380 with two home runs, 21 RBI, 37 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 10 attempts across 65 games this season.

Rodgers went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Rodgers delivered an infield single to drive in a run in the second inning and followed that up with an RBI sacrifice fly four frames later. He has tallied at least one hit in eight of his last nine games, also recording six RBI and four runs scored in that span. Rodgers continues to steadily improve his line, as he's now hitting .259/.308/.412 across 276 plate appearances on the season.

Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Gonzales (heel) has been participating in baseball activities while in a walking boot, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Gonzales isn't expected to shed his boot for another 7-to-10 days, but it's encouraging that he's been able to swing and play catch while in the boot. It seems likely that the 23-year-old will still be sidelined several more weeks, but he's made encouraging progress so far.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Chavis will take a seat for the Pirates' second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher, and he looks as though he may be in danger of moving into a short-side platoon role. The lefty-hitting Josh VanMeter will replace him at first base Wednesday, and the rehabbing Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) will be another candidate to poach playing time from Chavis against right-handed pitching once Tsutsugo comes off the injured list.
