Isiah Kiner-Falefa CF | BOS
Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Provides offensive spark in win
Kiner-Falefa went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Kiner-Falefa helped spark a late surge from the Pirates' offense, reaching base and scoring in the fifth, sixth, and eighth innings. Since returning from the injured list May 12, the shortstop has slashed .327/.362/.473 with six extra-base hits, six RBI, nine runs scored and two steals. He's had a quietly productive season, slashing .297/.343/.381 with one home run, 13 RBI, 20 runs scored and eight steals across 167 plate appearances.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Short rehab stint on tap
Manager Clayton McCullough said Wednesday that Edwards (back) will play in a couple rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville before rejoining the Marlins "very soon," Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old has been sidelined by a back strain since May 14 and will need a couple games in the minors to get back up to speed before being activated by Miami. After posting a .328/.397/.423 slash line with 31 steals in 70 games last season, Edwards got off to a slower start in 2025 with a .629 OPS and 11 steals through 42 contests.

De La Cruz homered in consecutive at-bats, hitting a 436-foot blast to center in the fourth followed by a 451-foot shot to right center in the sixth.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Posts three-hit effort
Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Marlins.
This was Bogaerts' first multi-hit effort since May 17 versus the Mariners. The shortstop has started to get in a groove, going 5-for-12 over his last three contests. He's back up to a .243/.332/.343 slash line with three home runs, 10 stolen bases, 21 RBI, 22 runs scored and nine doubles through 53 contests. While he's not hitting as well as usual, the 32-year-old remains in a starting role.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Multi-hit effort in defeat
Adames went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Tigers.
Adames singled twice in the loss, delivering his first multi-hit performance since May 16. The 29-year-old shortstop had gone 0-for-11 over his previous three games, and he has been struggling of late. Adames is now slashing .210/.288/.336 with 30 runs scored, 25 RBI, 16 extra-base hits -- including five homers -- two stolen bases and a 26.3 percent strikeout rate across 240 plate appearances this season.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Logs steal Monday
Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Marlins.
Bogaerts continues to be a factor on the basepaths with four steals over his last nine games. His hitting has cooled off in that stretch -- he's gone a modest 6-for-30 (.200) with three walks and six strikeouts, and he hasn't logged an RBI or an extra-base hit since he homered May 14 versus the Angels. The slump has the shortstop down to a .232/.320/.333 slash line with three home runs, 10 steals, 20 RBI and 21 runs scored over 52 contests this season.

Orlando Arcia SS | MIN
Rockies' Orlando Arcia: Headed to Colorado
Arcia agreed to a one-year, major-league contract with the Rockies on Monday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Arcia didn't have to wait long to find work after being released by Atlanta on Sunday. Once his deal with Colorado is finalized, he'll look to join his new club on the current road trip in Chicago, per Alvarez-Montes. Though Arcia has played primarily at shortstop during his career, the Rockies have Ezequiel Tovar locked in at that position on a long-term contract, so Arcia will likely end up seeing most of his opportunities at second base. Rookie Adael Amador has been serving as the Rockies' primary option at the keystone, but he's produced a lowly .473 OPS over 98 plate appearances and could end up being supplanted by Arcia.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Taking part in baseball activities
Edwards (back) has been participating in baseball activities, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Edwards was placed on the 10-day injured list May 18 due to a left mid-back strain and has since been given the green light to resume baseball activities. The club has yet to provide a firm timeline for the 25-year-old, and it remains to be seen whether a rehab assignment will be required before activating Edwards from the IL.

Phillies' Trea Turner: Plates three in loss
Turner went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a sacrifice fly during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.
Turner accounted for three of Philadelphia's four runs Sunday and logged his fifth multi-hit game in his last seven appearances. The shortstop's three RBI marked a season high. On the year, Turner is slashing .310/.365/.443 with five home runs, 14 stolen bases and 37 runs scored.
