Jim Jarvis SS | ATL
Braves' Jim Jarvis: Sent to Triple-A
Atlanta optioned Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old was called up last week and will return to the minors after going 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in his first two MLB games. Jarvis has an .863 OPS with four homers and 15 steals in 33 games at Gwinnett this year and could get another look in the majors later in 2026 if Atlanta needs more infield depth.

Casey Schmitt LF | SF
Giants' Casey Schmitt: Scores three times in win
Schmitt went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, a stolen base, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in Monday's win over the Dodgers.
Schmitt did not drive in a run but was a frequent presence on the basepaths, scoring three times to help the Giants take the first game of the series against their bitter rival. The infielder has been highly productive for an offense that's been largely dormant in 2026, slashing .294/.348/.516 with six homers, eight doubles, a triple, 18 RBI, 17 runs and three stolen bases across 35 appearances. The addition of top prospect Bryce Eldridge to the big-league roster creates additional competition, but Schmitt has performed well enough to continue forcing his way into the lineup regularly.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Tallies three RBI
Adames went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Monday's 9-3 win over the Dodgers.
Adames joined the offensive outburst by delivering a two-RBI single in the seventh inning before driving in another run with a single in the ninth frame. Monday marked the shortstop's first three-RBI effort of the season, as he has still struggled to a .215/.247/.344 slash line with three homers, 12 doubles, 11 RBI, 12 runs and a stolen base through 40 games. Adames has now recorded multiple hits in three of the past four contests and will look to continue trending upward after a difficult start to the campaign.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Delivers lone run in win
Perdomo went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.
Perdomo's first-inning double drove in the only run of the game for his 12th RBI of the season. The shortstop is last season's pace, when he had 30 RBI over the same number of games (37) on the way to 100 RBI. The multi-hit effort was a positive sign for Perdomo, who entered the night batting .138 (4-for-29) over the previous eight contests.

Cooper Pratt SS | MIL
Brewers' Cooper Pratt: No longer slowed by sore foot
Pratt (foot) has appeared in six games after sitting out May 5 due to foot soreness.
Pratt was briefly held out at Triple-A Nashville with a minor foot issue, but he managed to avoid a trip to the injured list. He's struggled a bit at the dish over his last six games, as he's 3-for-24 with one home run, four RBI, two stolen bases and five runs scored.

Yordany De Los Santos SS | PIT
Pirates' Yordany De Los Santos: Activated from MiLB IL
De Los Santos (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.
De Los Santos completed a brief ramp-up period at Single-A Bradenton, where he went 5-for-21 with two home runs and five RBI over five games before being activated. He returned to High-A Greensboro on Friday and is 3-for-9 with a deep ball, four RBI, two stolen bases and two runs scored in two appearances.

Alex Freeland 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Alex Freeland: Heading to Triple-A
The Dodgers optioned Freeland to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.
Freeland has operated as the Dodgers' primary second baseman this season but has slashed an underwhelming .235/.309/.337 with an elevated 28.6 percent strikeout rate. With Mookie Betts (oblique) back from the injured list, the Dodgers will likely slide Hyeseong Kim from shortstop to second base, while Freeland continues to play regularly at Oklahoma City.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Posts three hits in win
Adames went 3-for-6 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Pirates.
Adames is starting to come around at the plate, going 10-for-41 (.244) over his last 10 games. He's still racked up 11 strikeouts without a walk in that span, and he's added just two extra-base hits. The shortstop is batting .209 with a .584 OPS, three home runs, eight RBI, 14 runs scored, 12 doubles and one stolen base over 39 contests. Adames isn't in immediate danger of losing his place in the lineup, but the Giants' infield is crowded with top prospect Bryce Eldridge joining the mix earlier this week, which has pushed Casey Schmitt into a utility role. Schmitt can play shortstop and could apply pressure if Adames starts to slump.

Konnor Griffin SS | PIT
Pirates' Konnor Griffin: Pops third homer
Griffin went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Giants.
Griffin has two homers over his last 12 games, and he's batting .333 (15-for-45) with three steals and seven RBI in that span. The shortstop has found some consistency at the plate lately, as he's been held hitless just once during that 12-game sample. He's batting .256 with a .721 OPS, three homers, 19 RBI, 15 runs scored, nine steals, five doubles and two triples through 35 contests this season.

Oneil Cruz CF | PIT
Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Homer, steal in extra-innings loss
Cruz went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Sunday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Giants.
Cruz went 5-for-14 with two walks during this three-game series in San Francisco. The homer was his first since April 28, ending his season-worst 10-game stretch without a long ball. The outfielder is batting .255 with a .793 OPS, 10 homers, 15 steals, 29 RBI and 31 runs scored over 39 contests this season, providing well-rounded production in the counting stats.
