Dominic Canzone DH | SEA
Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Stays hot with three hits
Canzone went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Mets.
Canzone logged his third multi-hit effort over the last four games. The 28-year-old is doing his part to maintain his status as the Mariners' strong-side platoon option at designated hitter. He has gone 9-for-23 (.391) over his last seven games, lifting him to a .264 average and .840 OPS with seven home runs, 23 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base over 53 contests this season.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Triples in three-hit game
Soler went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 9-8 loss to the Rockies.
Soler logged his first three-hit game of the campaign, highlighted by a two-RBI triple in the eighth inning that tied the game, though the Angels ultimately fell. It marked the veteran slugger's first triple of the season and his first since 2024, giving him just five three-baggers across 13 big-league campaigns. On the year, Soler is slashing .221/.301/.404 with nine homers, 33 RBI and 27 runs across 56 games.

Andrew Benintendi DH | CHW
White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Belts homer in loss
Benintendi went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk Monday in a loss to Minnesota.
Benintendi plated Chicago's first run of the game with a single in the third inning and hit the second of back-to-back homers following Miguel Vargas' blast in the fifth. Benintendi has gone deep twice in his past three games after hitting just three homers across his first 51 contests of the campaign. The veteran outfielder has a career-best mark of 20 home runs, which he's achieved three times in his 11-year career, including in each of the past two campaigns.

Masataka Yoshida DH | BOS
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Atones for miscue
Yoshida went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 9-4 win over Cleveland.
Yoshida's two run-single during a six-run seventh inning gave Boston a lead it never relinquished. The go-ahead hit atoned for a fourth-inning miscue, when he lost sight of a fly ball in left field that led to the Guardians taking a lead. Yoshida is getting regular work with Roman Anthony's rehab from a finger injury taking longer than originally anticipated. The outfield/DH logjam that had limited Yoshida's playing time earlier in the season has cleared up for the time being.

Brent Rooker DH | ATH
Athletics' Brent Rooker: Launches eighth homer
Rooker went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 13-8 loss against the Yankees.
Rooker did his damage with the Athletics trailing by a large margin, launching a 108.6 mph solo homer in the seventh inning to cut the deficit to 13-4. The 31-year-old has struggled to find his footing in 2026 and entered Sunday's contest in a notable slump, going 1-for-21 (.048) across his previous six contests. Overall, Rooker is slashing .194/.278/.368 with eight homers, 26 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases across 41 games this season.

Canzone went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

He has gone deep in three of his last four games and has a total of six extra-base hits over his last eight contests. For the season, he's batting .250 with an .826 OPS, seven homers, 23 RBI, 18 runs scored, 10 doubles and a stolen base across 141 plate appearances in a strong-side platoon role.

George Springer DH | TOR
Blue Jays' George Springer: Idle for day game
Springer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Joc Pederson DH | TEX
Rangers' Joc Pederson: Ignites comeback win
Pederson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Royals.
Pederson ignited a three-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning with a leadoff homer. That was the first of five consecutive hits, culminating with Ezequiel Duran's walk-off single to wipe out Kansas City's lead. The home run was Pederson's second in as many games and the fifth across his last five contests.

Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Takes step forward in recovery
Stanton (calf) has begun running outside, per MLB.com.
It's a notable step in Stanton's movement toward a return to action, as he hadn't previously been cleared to run. The slugger underwent imaging earlier this week, and the encouraging results of those tests prompted team doctors to allow Stanton to begin running. It's still not clear when the 36-year-old will be ready to be activated from the injured list though, and he may need a rehab assignment first given that he hasn't played since late April.
