  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Belts two homers

    Ortiz went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's win against Pittsburgh.

    Ortiz opened the game's scoring with a two-run shot in the third inning and added a solo blast in the fourth. It was his first long ball since May 23, snapping a 28-game drought. Ortiz has gone 14-for-33 (.424) over his last eight games and now owns a .217/.275/.297 slash line through 78 appearances.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Crosses plate three times in win

    Abrams went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Padres.

    Facing the team he made his big-league debut with in 2022 after being a first-round pick in 2019, Abrams had another impressive performance from the top of the Nationals' order. The 24-year-old shortstop has seven multi-hit efforts in his last 14 games, a blistering stretch in which he's slashing .368/.455/.596 with three homers, five steals, six RBI and 17 runs scored.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: On base twice in win

    Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-3 with a triple, an RBI and a walk Monday against the Brewers.

    Kiner-Faelfa delivered the game-winning run on an RBI triple in the sixth inning, his first extra-base hit since June 10. He's had a tough month, going 13-for-64 with five RBI, one stolen base and one run scored across 20 games. Despite the struggles, Kiner-Falefa remains the Pirates' everyday shortstop.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Moves to leadoff

    Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 with two walks, a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.

    Perdomo batted leadoff for a second straight game, as the Diamondbacks are without Corbin Carroll (hand), who is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list. That means Perdomo will likely replace Carroll as the leadoff hitter against right-handers, while Ketel Marte maintains his role atop the order against lefties. Perdomo has experienced a slight downturn during June -- he's batting .190 (15-for-79) with a .624 OPS -- but he's contributed seven extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored over 20 contests.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Flirts with cycle

    De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Yankees.

    De La Cruz knocked an RBI triple during the Reds' three-run fourth inning and added an RBI single in the fifth. He capped off his big night with a solo shot in the eighth. It was his 18th long ball of the year and sixth in his last 11 contests. De La Cruz has gone 24-for-72 (.333) in June, raising his season slash line to .272/.348/.513 with 35 extra-base hits and 55 RBI.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Returning to lineup in four spot

    Swanson is starting at shortstop and batting fourth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    After getting his first day off of the season Sunday, Swanson will return to the lineup Monday in St. Louis, and he's in a prime position to produce as the team's cleanup hitter against lefty starter Matthew Liberatore. Over the past three years, Swanson's OPS is 107 points higher when facing southpaws as opposed to righties.

  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: Produces clutch RBI in win Sunday

    Iglesias went 1-for-2 with three RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win against the Royals.

    Iglesias didn't start but got an opportunity to impact the game upon entering as a pinch hitter for Jake Cronenworth in the seventh inning. Iglesias came through with a two-run single in that frame to tie the score, then notched a walk-off fielder's choice in the ninth. Iglesias endured an 0-for-17 stretch at the plate earlier this month but has one hit in each of his past three games, going 3-for-7 with four RBI during the latter span.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: On base four times Sunday

    Edwards went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

    The 25-year-old infielder continues to pile up hits in June. Edwards is slashing .357/.430/.414 through 18 contests on the month, and while a lack of power still limits his fantasy ceiling -- he has yet to hit a homer in 2025 -- he's supplied three steals, five RBI and 10 runs during that span as the Marlins' leadoff hitter.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Goes yard again

    Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Phillies.

    Lindor homered for a second straight game, following up Saturday's solo shot with a solo homer off Max Lazar in the eighth inning Sunday. Lindor supplied two of the Mets' four hits on the day. Since the start of June, Lindor is 17-for-74 (.230) with four home runs and three stolen bases.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Getting first day off of season

    Swanson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    After starting Chicago's first 76 games, Swanson will get his first day off of the season Sunday, with Nico Hoerner getting the nod at shortstop in his stead. Swanson played in at least 147 games in both of his first two years with the Cubs, and he played in all 162 games during his last season in Atlanta back in 2022. Swanson should return to the lineup Monday in St. Louis.
