Dominic Canzone DH | SEA
Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Goes yard in three-hit effort
Canzone went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a double and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.
Canzone rattled off three hits, with his most important one being a three-run homer in the seventh inning to put the Mariners ahead 4-3. The 28-year-old has had a tame July, slashing .219/.286/.391 with three homers, 12 RBI and five runs scored across 16 contests, but he has otherwise been among the club's top offensive performers this season. Overall, Canzone is hitting .260/.332/.512 with 16 homers, 46 RBI and 35 runs scored over 91 games.

Andres Munoz RP | SEA
Mariners' Andres Munoz: Dominant in 18th save
Munoz picked up the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers. He struck out three across a perfect inning.
Entering with a two-run cushion, Munoz made quick work of the Rangers in the bottom of the ninth, striking out the side in order to secure his 18th save of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander has been locked in since mid-June, riding a 13-inning scoreless streak with eight saves during the stretch. Overall, Munoz owns a 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 58:15 K:BB across 37.1 innings this season.

Jacob deGrom SP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Allows one run in no-decision
DeGrom did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks over five-plus innings against Seattle. He struck out four.
DeGrom fired off five frames of one-run ball before allowing a pair of singles to open the sixth frame, prompting the Rangers to pull him at 90 pitches (66 strikes) in favor of Robby Ahlstrom. Ahlstrom closed the inning with no damage to preserve a 3-1 advantage, though struggles from the relievers after him kept Texas and deGrom from picking up the win. The 38-year-old hasn't put up the elite numbers he's regularly produced throughout his big-league career, but the two-time Cy Young Award winner has still been plenty serviceable in 2026. DeGrom, who will likely finish July winless, will take a 7-6 record with a 3.67 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 132:24 K:BB across 110.1 innings (20 starts) into his next outing, lined up for next weekend on the road in Houston.

Logan Gilbert SP | SEA
Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Nears quality start Sunday
Gilbert did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a 6-4 win over the Rangers. He struck out four.
Gilbert wasn't at his best but was still serviceable, falling one out shy of recording a quality start. Known for his ability to generate whiffs, the right-hander's four strikeouts marked his fewest since May 4 and was just the fourth time he hasn't racked up at least five punchouts this season. The 29-year-old will take an 8-6 record with a 3.44 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 133:27 K:BB across 125.2 innings (21 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Twins.

Jackson Jobe SP | DET
Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Completes four-inning rehab start
Jobe (elbow) struck out four and allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks across four innings in a rehab start Saturday with Double-A Erie.
Jobe is now four starts into his rehab assignment and has thus far looked sharp in his comeback from Tommy John surgery, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB in 11.1 innings across stops with three affiliates. According to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, Jobe will next throw a bullpen session at Comerica Park before making another rehab start with Triple-A Toledo.

Junior Perez LF | CHW
White Sox's Junior Perez: Slugs pinch-hit homer
Perez went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Astros.
Perez hasn't been in the lineup since before the All-Star break, though he made an impact with his bat while coming off the bench Sunday. He took Miguel Ullola deep to left field in the eighth inning for his third career home run across 36 plate appearances. Despite flashing power in his limited sample in the majors, Perez has recorded just six hits and is striking out at a 38.9 percent clip.

Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW
White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Tallies 22nd homer
Vargas went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Astros.
Vargas provided the game-winning runs for the White Sox with his two-run homer in the sixth inning. He now has 22 home runs on the season, though only three have come in July. Vargas has also hit just .221 in July, though he's still managed to chip in 11 RBI and 15 runs scored across 20 games during the month.

Munetaka Murakami 1B | CHW
White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: Pops pair of homers
Murakami went 3-for-5 with two home runs, six RBI and three runs scored Sunday against the Astros.
Murakami was hitting only .184 with a 35.4 percent strikeout rate across his first 11 games since returning from the injured list, but he snapped out of that skid in impressive fashion Sunday. He popped a two-run and solo homer, and he also chipped in a two-RBI single. Murakami now has a modest three-game hitting streak with only two strikeouts in that span, so he looks to be regaining a rhythm at the plate.

Spencer Miles RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Spencer Miles: Expected to stay in bullpen
Miles struck out four and gave up three hits and no walks over 3.2 innings of relief during Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Rays.
After starting in his prior appearance July 17 against the White Sox, Miles received another turn through the Toronto rotation but was deployed out of the bullpen while Braydon Fisher opened the game and recorded the first four outs of the contest. Miles is likely to fill a more traditional relief role moving forward, as Max Scherzer (back/thumb) is slated to return from the 15-day injured list to fill the fifth spot in the rotation Monday in Washington. If Toronto deals away starters like Kevin Gausman or Shane Bieber at the trade deadline, however, Miles could be needed in the rotation once again.

Jeremy Pena SS | HOU
Astros' Jeremy Pena: Homers twice in loss
Pena went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 12-3 loss against the White Sox.
Pena wasted no time making an impact, leading off the game with a solo homer against Erick Fedde before taking the right-hander deep again in the third inning. The shortstop has caught fire of late, homering five times over his last six games after hitting just six long balls through his first 53 contests of the season. During that six-game stretch, Pena is batting 13-for-26 (.500) with eight RBI. For the season, he's slashing .319/.373/.504 with nine doubles, 11 home runs, 30 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 249 plate appearances.
