  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Swipes another bag

    Ohtani went 0-for-4 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-2 win against the Astros.

    Though Ohtani had a three-game multi-hit streak snapped, he extended his streak of contests with a stolen base to three. The slugger has elevated his acumen on the basepaths to even greater heights this season, as he's already set a career high with 27 steals while getting caught just four times. Of course, Ohtani has excelled in other ways as well, slashing .314/.404/.639 with 32 home runs, 76 RBI and 82 runs in what has been an MVP-caliber campaign so far.

  • Jorge Soler RF | ATL

    Giants' Jorge Soler: Bat stays hot in win

    Soler went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

    Soler posted a trio of three-hit games during this weekend's four-game series versus the Rockies, going 9-for-15 with four RBI and three walks in that span. The slugger has batted .359 (14-for-39) over 11 contests since the All-Star break, though it helps that the Giants have faced the Rockies in seven of those games. For the season, he's up to a .240/.330/.419 slash line through 93 contests.

  • Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Goes yard twice

    Schwarber went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and three total RBI in Sunday's loss to the Guardians.

    Schwarber took Guardians rookie starter Joey Cantillo deep two times, belting a leadoff home run in the opening frame followed by a two-run shot in the third inning. The 31-year-old drove in all three Phillies runs Sunday, recording three RBI for the second straight game. After coming out of the All-Star break slowly, Schwarber is now riding a four-game hitting streak during which he has racked up five extra-base hits, four walks and eight RBI.

  • Kris Bryant DH | COL

    Rockies' Kris Bryant: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Bryant is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Bryant sat out Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader and will hit the bench Sunday for a second straight game. He's gone 4-for-16 with a double, a walk, four runs and eight strikeouts in four games since being activated from the injured list Tuesday.

  • Jorge Soler RF | ATL

    Giants' Jorge Soler: Three hits in nightcap

    Soler went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in a 5-0 win over the Rockies in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

    Soler was 0-for-3 with a walk in the first game, but he bounced back with a strong showing in the nightcap for his third multi-hit effort in the last four games. The 32-year-old is batting .253 with nine extra-base hits and eight RBI over 21 contests in July. For the season, he's up to a .235/.378/.467 slash line with 12 home runs, 39 RBI, 56 runs scored, one stolen base and 22 doubles over 92 games.

  • J.D. Martinez DH | NYM

    Mets' J.D. Martinez: Sitting Sunday

    Martinez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Martinez will get a breather after striking out in all four of his plate appearances Saturday. Brandon Nimmo will serve as the designated hitter Sunday and bat third against Atlanta right-hander Reynaldo Lopez.

  • DJ Stewart RF | NYM

    Mets' DJ Stewart: Optioned to Syracuse

    The Mets optioned Stewart to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

    The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for outfielder Jesse Winker, who was acquired by the Mets on Saturday. Stewart has struggled in July, batting 3-for-25 with six walks and eight strikeouts, and has a slash line of .172/.326/.298 across 187 major-league plate appearances this season.

  • Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Belts homer No. 20

    Schwarber went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-0 rout of the Guardians.

    The veteran slugger reached 20 homers on the season when he took Nick Sandlin deep in the fourth inning, one of four Phillies long balls on the afternoon. It was Schwarber's first multi-hit performance since he returned from a groin strain in early July, and his first game with multiple extra-base hits since June 22. On the season, he's slashing .245/.370/.447 with 60 RBI and 67 runs in 93 contests.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | ATL

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Launches homer No. 30

    Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Mets.

    He took Tylor Megill deep in the fourth inning, the first of three solo shots by Atlanta off the right-hander. Ozuna has gone yard in back-to-back games to reach 30 on the season, and he's finishing July in style, slashing .404/.466/.827 over the last 14 contests with seven homers and nine RBI.

  • Harold Ramirez DH | WAS

    Nationals' Harold Ramirez: Three hits, three RBI off bench

    Ramirez went 3-for-3 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Cardinals.

    Ramirez came into the game as a pinch hitter for Jesse Winker, who was pulled because he was traded to the Mets. Ramirez immediately took advantage with an excellent performance that included his first multi-hit effort since June 29. The veteran outfielder is hitting .308 (8-for-26) in July, and he may see a larger role now that Winker is out of the picture. For the season, Ramirez is slashing .275/.291/.338 with two home runs, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases over 213 plate appearances between the Rays and Nationals.
