Semien went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Semien went yard for a second straight game, tagging Kaleb Ort for a solo shot in the eighth inning. The second baseman is up to 12 home runs on the season, five of which have come in the last 13 games. Semien is 15-for-51 (.294) with 16 runs scored and 14 RBI during that stretch.

Short went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-1 loss to Texas.

Short notched his first long ball with the Astros in his 10th game with the team, tagging Nathan Eovaldi for a solo shot in the sixth inning. The round tripper was Short's first in the big leagues since 2023, as he went homerless in 88 plate appearances with three different teams during 2024. He's slashing .286/.348/.524 since being called up July 2.

Flaherty didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Seattle, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over five innings.

Flaherty punched out at least seven batters for a fourth straight outing, and he hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start during that stretch. The four-start spurt has come immediately after a pair of appearances in which Flaherty allowed eight and seven runs, respectively. He owns a 4.65 ERA and a 124:40 K:BB across 100.2 innings this season, with his strikeout total ranking 15th in MLB.

Gilbert didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Detroit, allowing two unearned runs on six hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.

Gilbert had allowed four earned runs in three of his last four starts, but he managed to slow down a strong Tigers offense Sunday. Both runs scored while Gilbert was on the mound came after an error in the first inning. Dillon Dingler delivered the blow with a two-RBI double. Since returning from the injured list June 16, Gilbert has a 4.40 ERA and a 44:9 K:BB across 30.2 innings.

Arozarena went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI double during Sunday's 8-4 win over the Tigers.

Arozarena hit his ninth home run in 13 games, a remarkable stretch for the 30-year-old who homered just eight times in his first 356 plate appearances of 2025. Sunday's outing also marked Arozarena's eighth multi-hit performance in 15 games. He'll take a .251/.357/.463 slash line into the All-Star break.

Young went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 8-4 win over Detroit.

Young and Jorge Polanco hit back-to-back solo home runs as part of a four-run ninth inning. The long ball was Young's second of his rookie campaign, and he'll take a five-game hit streak into the All-Star break. He's 7-for-18 (.389) with four RBI and four runs scored during that stretch.

Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI double, an additional run scored and a stolen base during Sunday's 8-4 win over the Tigers.

Rodriguez reached safely in four of his five plate appearances Sunday and swatted a homer for a third consecutive game. The 24-year-old is up to 14 home runs and 17 stolen bases on the season. In his last seven games, Rodriguez is 9-for-29 (.310) with five doubles, seven RBI and nine runs scored.

Rodriguez left Triple-A St. Paul's 10-9 win over Iowa on Saturday in the fourth inning due to an apparent side injury, MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-2 with two RBI prior to his departure.

Rodriguez returned to the St. Paul lineup Tuesday after missing more than a month of action with a right hip injury, but he's now dealing with a new health concern. He'll likely be held out through the All-Star break before St. Paul determines whether he'll require another stint on the 7-day IL.

Speier was charged with a blown save in Sunday's 8-4 win over Detroit, allowing one run on one hit in the seventh inning.

Speier was taken deep by All-Star Riley Greene, and saddled with his fourth blown save of the year. Speier had gone four consecutive outings without surrendering an earned run prior to Sunday's hiccup, and he should remain an integral part of Seattle's bullpen as its lone active left-hander. Through his first 36.2 frames, Speier owns a strong 2.70 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 51:9 K:BB with 10 holds.

Legumina allowed one run on one hit over two-thirds of an inning in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Tigers. He struck out one.

It's been a rough July thus far for Legumina, who's yielded eight runs over 2.1 innings (three appearances) this month to swell his ERA from its June 29 figure of 3.31 to 5.14 following Sunday's showing. Legumina did submit eight consecutive scoreless outings to wrap up June, but he figures to continue working in lower-leverage spots until he gets back on the right track.
