Jump (3-2) allowed five runs on 11 hits and struck out five without walking a batter over 4.2 innings to take the loss Monday versus the Dodgers.

Jump had walked at least one batter in each of his first six starts. The Dodgers didn't waste time with the bats, as the 11 hits were a season high against Jump, who wasn't up to the challenge of one of the most fearsome lineups in baseball. Despite his poor performance Monday, the rookie southpaw still has a 2.93 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB over 40 innings. He'll look to get back on track at home versus the Marlins over the weekend.

Montgomery went 1-for-5 with a double and an RBI on Monday against the Orioles.

Montgomery made his lone hit of the game count when he delivered the game-winning run with a double in the eighth inning. He now has at least one hit in five of his last six games, though he's gone just 6-for-23 with just two RBI, two doubles, and two runs scored in that span. Overall, Montgomery has mostly produced as expected across 333 plate appearances, striking out at a 31.8 percent clip while also slugging 20 home runs.

Arias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's loss to the Rangers.

Arias got Cleveland on the board with a 107.5 mph solo shot to left-center field in the fifth inning, accounting for his lone hit of the game. The 26-year-old has started three straight games and five of the past eight contests at third base as the Guardians look to patch things together at the hot corner while Jose Ramirez (hand) is sidelined. Overall, Arias is slashing .217/.254/.400 with three homers, six RBI, four runs and a stolen base across 63 plate appearances this season.

Cauley went 1-for-3 with a triple, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.

Cauley slotted in at second base and hit seventh in his major-league debut. The 23-year-old showcased his speed with a triple in the seventh inning for his first big-league hit, eventually coming around to score before crossing the plate again in the ninth frame after reaching on a walk. Cauley could see extended opportunities at the keystone ahead of Nicky Lopez, allowing Ezequiel Duran to continue operating in a super-utility role.

Latz picked up the save in Monday's 6-3 victory over Cleveland. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out one over two innings.

Latz was called upon in the eighth inning for a six-out save and delivered without issue, retiring all six batters he faced to secure his 17th save of the season. The southpaw has been excellent all year, posting a 1.76 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 41:9 K:BB across 41 innings (32 appearances). Latz has fired 11 scoreless outings over his past 12 appearances and hasn't blown a save since May 13.

Messick (7-5) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks over 6.2 innings against the Rangers. He struck out five.

Messick got through six innings with two runs allowed but lost steam in the seventh frame, surrendering another two runs and ultimately taking the loss. The 25-year-old followed a dazzling first 12 starts of the season with a somewhat disappointing June, going 1-4 with a 4.26 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB across 31.2 innings (five starts). Messick will take a 2.85 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 106:29 K:BB across 101 innings (17 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the White Sox.

Neto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Mariners.

Neto was coming off 1-for-13 performance over three games versus the Athletics over the weekend. He bounced back with a third-inning homer, his fifth long ball in his last 13 contests. The shortstop is batting .226 with a .779 OPS, 18 homers, 40 RBI, 59 runs scored, 17 doubles, two triples and 11 stolen bases over 83 games this season. Neto has offered upside in just about everything except batting average, which continues to be depressed by his 32.3 percent strikeout rate.

Johnson (1-3) allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and a hit batsman while striking out three and walking none over five innings to take the loss Monday versus the Mariners.

Johnson wasn't able to build off his dominant win over the Orioles from his last start. The Mariners were able to get to him in the third and fourth innings, and the Angels' offense wasn't able to offer a response. Johnson is now at a 7.40 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB over 24.1 innings through seven games (four starts) this season. The right-hander is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Red Sox.

Caratini went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks against Houston in a 5-4 victory Monday.

Caratini went back-to-back with Royce Lewis in the fourth inning to give the Twins a 2-0 lead. After going deep just three times over his first 52 contests of the campaign, Caratini has swatted four home runs across his past 10 games. He's had a standout June, batting .355 with five homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs and a 9:11 BB:K over 19 contests. Ryan Jeffers (hand) could return to action at some point in July, but Caratini may have done enough in Jeffers' absence to retain more than a typical backup's workload.

Naylor went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Naylor was held hitless for the third time in 11 games since he returned from shin and wrist issues that cost him a few contests in the middle of the month. He picked up his second steal in that span Monday, giving the first baseman 15 thefts on 18 attempts this season. He's also batting .254 with a .684 OPS, eight home runs, 34 RBI, 31 runs scored and 11 doubles over 79 contests.
