David Fry C | CLE
Guardians' David Fry: Provides cushion in win
Fry went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-5 win over the Astros.
Fry provided insurance with a solo blast in the ninth inning, paving the way for Cleveland to snap a 10-game losing streak. He continues to be the designated hitter against left-handers, but Fry doesn't have a lock on that role. Since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list, he's batting .153 (9-for-59) with three home runs and five RBI over 26 games.

Christian Yelich LF | MIL
Brewers' Christian Yelich: Salvages day with late homer
Yelich went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-1 win over the Dodgers.
Yelich went hitless with two strikeouts in his first three at-bats before delivering a two-run shot off Julian Fernandez in the seventh inning. The round tripper extended Yelich's on-base streak to 19 games. During that stretch, he's 27-for-76 (.355) with five homers and three stolen bases.

Agustin Ramirez C | MIA
Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Cracks homer, double in win
Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 5-1 victory over the Reds.
Ramirez extended Miami's lead to 5-1 with a 420-foot solo shot off Cincinnati reliever Brent Suter in the seventh inning. The rookie backstop previously notched his 16th double of the season off starter Brady Singer. Ramirez has been a solid performer through his first 65 big-league games, slashing .245/.291/.479 with 14 homers, 39 RBI and 35 runs scored across 275 plate appearances.

Anthony Santander RF | TOR
Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Still not hitting
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Santander (shoulder) has not resumed hitting but could do so "hopefully soon," Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Santander's progress from a left shoulder subluxation has been slow, as he's already missed nearly six weeks of action and still isn't ready to swing a bat. Once cleared to swing, Santander will need time to ramp things back up and is sure to require a rehab assignment before being activated. He is not eligible to return until late July after being shifted to the 60-day injured list last week.

Masataka Yoshida LF | BOS
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Likely returning Wednesday
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Yoshida (shoulder) will "most likely" be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Yoshida has played five rehab games between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, going 4-for-14 with a 2:2 K:BB. He is with the Red Sox in Boston and will go through a workout Monday and "probably" another one Tuesday, according to Cora, before being activated for his season debut if all goes well. Yoshida's role upon his return is unclear, as Boston has already been struggling to find regular playing time for all its outfield and designated-hitter options. Yoshida made three starts at DH and two in left field during his rehab assignment.

Rafael Devers 3B | SF
Giants' Rafael Devers: Multi-hit effort in victory
Devers went 2-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.
Devers singled in the fifth inning before coming around to score. He added another single in the sixth, marking his first multi-hit performance since June 26. The 28-year-old has now tallied at least one hit in six consecutive games, slashing .333/.444/.476 with four RBI, three runs scored, three doubles and a 4:6 BB:K across 27 plate appearances during that span.

Mike Trout CF | LAA
Angels' Mike Trout: Hits 14th homer Sunday
Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to Toronto.
Trout got the Angels on the board with a first-inning solo shot and also reached via a free pass for the fourth straight contest. While the veteran slugger has reached base safely in each of the past 11 games in which he's started, he doesn't have any multi-hit performances during that span, though he's posted a 15:14 BB:K . Trout has played 63 games this season (already more than he played in 2024 or 2021) and is slashing .231/.254/.443 with 14 home runs, 32 RBI, 32 runs and two stolen bases.

Austin Hays LF | CIN
Reds' Austin Hays: Provides lone offense
Hays went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Philadelphia.
Only Hays could solve Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler, who allowed just the one hit and did not walk a batter. Hays is batting .206 (7-for-34) over nine games since coming off the injured list June 27, but it's been an impactful .206 with three doubles, one triple, two home runs and six RBI.

Randal Grichuk RF | KC
Diamondbacks' Randal Grichuk: Plays against righty
Grichuk started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a double in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Kansas City.
Grichuk typically starts against left-handers but was used against a righty (Michael Lorenzen) in the series finale between the two teams. Arizona's usual DH against righties, Pavin Smith, was placed on the 10-day injured list with an oblique injury. Grichuk could get additional opportunities while Smith is unavailable, but manager Torey Lovullo likes to exploit lefty-righty matchups whenever possible. That means one of the three lefty-hitting outfielders could see time at DH against righties.
