Abreu went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a walk, a stolen base and two total RBI in a 5-2 victory versus the Rockies on Tuesday.

Abreu kicked off the scoring in the contest with an RBI triple in the first inning. He added a 443-foot solo homer in the fifth and also logged a stolen base following a walk in the third. Abreu went deep only twice over 34 games from May 10 to June 19, but he's now homered twice in his past three contests. That's pushed him to 10 long balls and 38 RBI through 75 games, and his .795 OPS in on pace for a career-best mark over a full season.

Messick (7-4) took the loss Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out 10 over 7.2 innings.

Messick gave Cleveland arguably the best start of his career Tuesday, as he threw 63 of his 95 pitches for strikes and generated an impressive 17 whiffs while racking up a career-high 10 strikeouts. The left-hander retired 11 of the first 12 batters he faced before Colson Montgomery delivered an RBI single to open the scoring. Messick later surrendered a solo homer to Miguel Vargas in the sixth, which ultimately proved to be the deciding run in a low-scoring contest. The outing continued an excellent stretch for the 25-year-old, who has now allowed two or fewer earned runs in seven of his last nine starts and has recorded 19 strikeouts over his last 13.2 innings. He'll carry a 2.67 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 101:29 K:BB into his next scheduled start at home against Texas.

Gray (9-1) earned the win over Colorado on Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and three walks while striking out 11 batters over seven innings.

Gray was magnificent Tuesday, racking up 16 whiffs and a season-high 11 punchouts. It was particularly promising for his fantasy managers to see his swing-and-miss stuff working, as the veteran right-hander entered the contest with a career-low 7.1 K/9. Gray did give up another long ball -- his fifth across his past four starts -- but it was a solo shot that accounted for the only run Colorado scored while the hurler was in the game. Gray lowered his season ERA to 2.91 with the impressive performance, and he's tied for second in MLB with nine victories.

Manager Mark Kotsay said after Tuesday's game against San Francisco that Gelof didn't suffer a fracture in his hand and won't require stitches, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old suffered a laceration and contusion when Matt Chapman stepped on his hand in the second inning of Tuesday's contest, but it doesn't seem like Gelof suffered any major injuries during the encounter. That said, Max Muncy could still see an uptick in playing time if Gelof needs to miss a game or two.

Burke (5-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out six over 6.1 innings.

Burke kept Cleveland off the board through four innings, aided by stranding two runners in scoring position during the third, before the right-hander served up a solo homer to Kahlil Watson to lead off the fifth. Burke again escaped trouble later in the inning, stranding the bases loaded. The 25-year-old has now earned a win in three of his last four starts while recording 27 strikeouts during that span. Burke will carry a 3.71 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 87:30 K:BB into his next scheduled start on the road against Baltimore.

Rojas allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out four batters over two innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Rojas got a chance to start Tuesday after Joe Ryan was scratched due to an illness. Rojas had thrown just 33 pitches in his lone rehab appearance before being activated off the IL on Sunday following a triceps injury, so he wasn't expected to go very deep, and that indeed proved to be the case. With that said, the lefty probably could have covered more innings if not for his lack of control -- he needed 50 pitches to cover two frames, with only 25 of his offerings going for strikes. On the plus side, Rojas struck out four and managed to work around his wildness to allow just one run. Ultimately, it was Austin Voth who took on the bulk of the innings in his first appearance as a Twin, eating up four innings with 96 pitches. Neither Rojas nor Voth figure to enter the rotation since Ryan has been cleared to return Wednesday.

Dingler went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

Dingler had three of Detroit's eight hits as a team as he continued to lead the Tigers' offensive attack. The catcher now has 10 multi-hit efforts across 19 games this month, and he's batting a scorching .385 overall in June with seven home runs and 22 RBI. Dingler is showing no signs of slowing down in what's shaping up as a true breakout campaign for the 27-year-old.

Aranda went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Royals.

Aranda has a modest six-game hitting streak going, continuing what's been a steady campaign at the dish while hitting primarily either second or third in the Rays' lineup. Through 328 plate appearances, the first baseman is slashing .278/.381/.447 with 12 home runs, 10 doubles, 44 RBI and 38 runs scored.

Corniell (0-1) took the loss against the Marlins on Tuesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 3.1 innings.

Corniell relieved Cal Quantrill in the third inning and struggled, allowing one run in the fourth before enduring a four-run fifth. In just two major-league appearances between 2025 and 2026, the 23-year-old has surrendered eight earned runs across just five frames. It's unclear what his role will be moving forward, but if he remains part of the equation for replacing Jack Leiter (ankle), he could pitch again this weekend against the Blue Jays.

Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

Nimmo came on strong late, homering in the eighth inning before adding an RBI triple in the ninth. While the long ball was his first of the month, the 33-year-old is hitting .312 in June and is riding a seven-game hitting streak that includes five multi-hit efforts. On the year, he's slashing .271/.337/.435 with eight home runs, 28 RBI, 32 runs scored and three steals across 332 plate appearances.
