Brady House SS | WAS
Nationals' Brady House: Added to roster ahead of debut
The Nationals selected House's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Monday. He will start at third base and bat sixth in the Nationals' series opener versus the Rockies.
Reports surfaced Sunday indicating that House was on his way to the big leagues, and the move is now official. The top prospect earned a promotion after slashing .304/.353/.519 with 13 home runs in 65 contests with Rochester. He will take over as the Nationals' everyday third baseman.

Ryan Ritter SS | COL
Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Scores three runs
Ritter went 1-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored Sunday against Atlanta.
Ritter singled in the seventh inning, giving him one hit in seven of his eight starts since his promotion June 6. This marked the first multi-run game of his career, and he's also chipped in four RBI. While Ritter is getting decent results in the short term, he's also striking out at a 40.3 percent clip across 32 plate appearances.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Continues to rake in easy win
Turner went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored Sunday's 11-4 victory over Toronto.
It was the fourth multi-game of the month so far for Turner, who rapped his eighth extra-base hit of June. The All-Star shortstop has been a force atop the Phillies' lineup -- he's slashing .311/.374/.553 with 14 extra-base knocks, 16 RBI, 20 runs scored and nine stolen bases over his last 115 plate appearances (25 games). Turner has nine multi-hit efforts during that stretch, and he's recorded at least one hit in 19 of those contests.

Nationals' Brady House: Set to join big club
The Nationals are expected to call up House from Triple-A Rochester ahead of Monday's series opener versus the Rockies, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
House has been on a heater at Triple-A, batting .365 with three home runs over 12 games in June. The 22-year-old is widely viewed as one of Washington's top hitting prospects, and on the season, he owns a .304/.353/.519 slash line with 13 home runs in 65 contests with Rochester. Jose Tena was sent down to Triple-A after the Nationals' 3-1 loss to Miami on Sunday, clearing the way for House to begin his time in the big leagues as the team's primary option at third base. House may need to get off to a good start with Washington to hold off Amed Rosario and Paul DeJong (orbital) for playing time at the hot corner over the balance of the season.

Elly De La Cruz SS | CIN
Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Homers in fourth straight contest
De La Cruz went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, an additional RBI and three total runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Detroit.
De La Cruz has home runs in four straight contests and at least one hit in his last six -- he's gone 12-for-26 (.461) with six extra-base hits in that span. De La Cruz's recent hot stretch has boosted his slash line to .273/.352/.498 with 16 homers, 50 RBI, 57 runs scored and 20 stolen bases through 310 plate appearances this year.

Jose Iglesias SS | SD
Padres' Jose Iglesias: Picking up start at 3B
Iglesias will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
With Manny Machado getting a day out of the dirt and serving as the team's designated hitter, the Padres will have room in the infield for Iglesias, who picks up his second start in eight games. Iglesias is slashing just .244/.309/.285 over 138 plate appearances in his first season in San Diego, and playing time could remain scarce for the veteran while the Padres have all of their key infielders available.

Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Getting rare off day
Winn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Winn started the previous 35 games but will hit the bench Sunday while in the midst of a 9-for-49 (.184 batting average) slump. Jose Barrero will take over at shortstop and bat ninth versus Milwaukee righty Quinn Priester.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Instrumental in comeback win
Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Padres.
Perdomo delivered a bases-loaded triple as part of a five-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning and then beat a throw at the plate to register the winning run. The three RBI bumped his season total to a career-high 49 (second on team) over 69 games. There's been nothing fluky about Perdomo's run production in 2025; his .279 BABIP is tied for 111th in MLB, and his barrel (4.9 percent) and hard-hit (33.5 percent) rates have jumped up significantly beyond his career norms.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Goes deep Saturday
Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.
Swanson took Pittsburgh reliever Ryan Borucki deep in the sixth inning, giving him 13 home runs on the season. The shortstop has been solid recently with a .278 batting average and two long balls across his last five games. Swanson should be able to surpass last season's total of 16 homers fairly soon if he stays healthy, and his career high of 27 long balls also remains well within reach.
