  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: First career homer

    Ritter went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Reds.

    Ritter continues to get regular run with Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) sidelined, but he's struggled to find a rhythm at the plate. Ritter did manage his first career home run with a two-run blast in the third inning Saturday, which is his first extra-base hit since June 27. Tovar has begun a rehab assignment, so Ritter's regular playing time is likely to decrease significantly coming out of the All-Star break.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Reaches 20-steal mark

    Abrams went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers.

    Abrams reached the 20-steal mark for the third year in a row with his theft in the third inning. He's been more efficient on the basepaths this year, getting caught just twice so far after going 31-for-43 on steals attempts in 2024. The shortstop continues to enjoy a breakout campaign atop the Nationals' lineup, with a .287/.353/.483 slash line, 12 home runs, 33 RBI, 61 runs scored, 20 doubles and four triples across 82 contests. He's hit safely in 10 of 11 games in July, batting .293 (12-for-41) this month.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Reaches double-digit homers

    Lopez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Orioles.

    The 26-year-old infielder accounted for all of Miami's offense on the night by taking Andrew Kittredge deep in the ninth inning. Lopez is up to double digits in both homers (10) and steals (10) on the year, and since the beginning of June he's slashing a respectable .270/.333/.418 over 36 games with 21 runs and 28 RBI.

  • Luke Williams SS | ATL

    Braves' Luke Williams: Tough night Friday

    Williams went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts after replacing Austin Riley (abdomen) in the fourth inning of Friday's win over the Cardinals.

    Williams also committed a throwing error at third base after being pressed into duty when Riley exited the game with what the team labeled as lower-abdominal tightness. Williams has seen little action this season in a utility role, going just 2-for-18 in 25 games for Atlanta. There's no word yet on the severity of Riley's injury, but with the All-Star break coming up, he may be held out the rest of the weekend just as a precaution, leaving Williams as the only viable option currently on the big-league roster to fill in at the hot corner.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Launches homer in win

    Adames went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

    Adames opened the scoring with a solo shot in the second inning and added a two-run triple in the fifth as part of a five-run rally for the Giants. Over 10 games in July, Adames has gone 13-for-36 (.361) with seven extra-base hits and 12 RBI. He's starting to cash in on the potential that the Giants saw when signing him to a seven-year, $182 million contract in December. Overall, the shortstop is at a .225/.312/.382 slash line with 12 homers, 48 RBI, 53 runs scored, four stolen bases, 14 doubles and two triples through 94 contests.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Racks up three hits in win

    Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with one run scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.

    Bogaerts has a trio of three-hit efforts over his last 13 games, batting .383 (18-for-47) in that span. All three hits were singles Friday, and the shortstop has just one extra-base hit, a double, across his last 10 contests. The lack of power remains a concern, but the contact-driven surge has him up to a .264/.338/.368 slash line through 92 games this season.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Extends hit streak to six

    Lindor went 2-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run during Friday's 8-3 win over the Royals.

    Over the course of Lindor's six-game hit streak, he is 8-for-23 (.348 batting average) with two doubles, four walks, two homers and eight RBI. The home run was 19th of the season for the All-Star shortstop, who is slashing .263/.335/.465 on the year.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Doubles twice in loss

    Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 4-3 loss to San Diego.

    The two doubles increased Perdomo's total to 20, the third consecutive season he's delivered at least 20 two-baggers. He's overcome a shaky beginning to June and hit safely in 16 of the last 21 contests, posting a slash line of .301/.414/.458 during that span. Other than that stretch in June, Perdomo has been remarkably consistent in 2025 and overall sports a .980 OPS with runners in scoring position, which has fueled a career-high 65 RBI through the first 93 games.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Productive in win Thursday

    Swanson went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Twins.

    Swanson was one of five Chicago players to record multiple hits in the easy win. The shortstop is now riding a nine-game hitting streak, and he's batting .342 this month with a home run, four RBI and seven runs scored. Swanson remains a steady fantasy performer who plays nearly every day, which gives him a stable floor for managers.

  • Aidan Miller SS | PHI

    Phillies' Aidan Miller: Running wild at Double-A

    Miller is slashing .261/.400/.457 with three home runs and 16 steals in his last 25 games for Double-A Reading.

    Miller was known more for his bat than his speed when the Phillies selected him in the first round a couple years ago, but he's been running wild this year for the Fightin Phils. He got off to a slow start at Double-A, but Miller has come on strong lately and is walking at an 18.3 percent clip over this 25-game stretch. Miller has only played shortstop since getting drafted, but there's a chance he will eventually move to third base.
