  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Continues power surge

    Goodman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and two walks Tuesday in a 7-3 win against the Cubs.

    Goodman got Colorado off to a good start with a two-run blast off Colin Rea in the first inning. The long ball was his seventh over his past 12 contests, a span in which the backstop is batting .256 with 14 RBI, 11 runs and two stolen bases. Goodman broke out with 31 homers over 144 contests last season, and he's on pace to easily exceed that mark this year with 18 home runs through 61 games. Goodman leads MLB catchers in long balls and ranks fourth among qualified backstops in OPS (.845)

  • Colin Rea SP | CHC

    Cubs' Colin Rea: Surrenders seven runs Tuesday

    Rea (5-4) took the loss against Colorado on Tuesday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings.

    Rea fell behind quickly when he gave up a two-run home run to Hunter Goodman in the first inning. The Rockies got to him for three more runs in the second, with Ezequiel Tovar contributing a solo homer, and Chicago never got close after that. The seven earned runs Rea allowed were a season-worst mark, and the veteran hurler ended with more walks (three) than punchouts (two) while notching just five whiffs. His season ERA jumped up to an undesirable 5.19, which is accompanied by a 1.43 WHIP and 54:25 K:BB through 69.1 innings across 14 appearances (11 starts).

  • Freddy Peralta SP | NYM

    Mets' Freddy Peralta: Tagged for six runs Tuesday

    Peralta (4-5) took the loss Tuesday against St. Louis, surrendering six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five across six innings.

    A disastrous third inning did Peralta in as five batters reached base, leading to a four-run frame that put St. Louis firmly in control. The right-hander compounded the damage in the fifth when Alec Burleson launched a two-run homer to extend the lead. The six runs allowed were a season high, but Peralta continued his streak of having surpassed 90 pitches in each of his last 13 starts. He now owns a 4.04 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 79:32 K:BB across 78 innings. Peralta is scheduled to make his next start at home against Atlanta.

  • Rockies' Tomoyuki Sugano: Improves to 6-4

    Sugano (6-4) earned the win over the Cubs on Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five-plus innings.

    Sugano cruised through five frames, allowing just one run. He remained in the game to begin the sixth and gave up a homer to Michael Busch followed by an Alex Bregman single before getting pulled. Though Bregman eventually came around to score, Sugano got enough support to notch the victory. The right-hander has now yielded three or fewer runs in five straight starts, compiling a decent 4.10 ERA across 26.1 frames during that span. He's been a steady but unspectacular part of the Rockies' rotation, posting a 4.08 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 39:20 K:BB through 68.1 innings spanning 13 starts. Sugano's home park and low strikeout numbers greatly dampen his appeal in fantasy.

  • Dustin May SP | STL

    Cardinals' Dustin May: Blanks Mets in stellar win

    May (4-6) earned the win Tuesday against the Mets, tossing six scoreless innings on four hits and one walk while striking out six.

    May was at his best Tuesday, working a season-high 101 pitches with 70 going for strikes and racking up an impressive 31 called and swinging strikes. It was the right-hander's first scoreless start of 2026, and he's now recorded a quality start in eight of his last 11 outings. May now owns a 4.21 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 66:20 K:BB through 72.2 innings and lines up for a home outing against San Diego next.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Smacks homer in Miami

    Moreno went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run during Arizona's 10-6 loss to Miami on Tuesday.

    Moreno reduced the Diamondbacks' deficit to 3-2 with a solo homer off Max Meyer in the fourth inning. Moreno has gone deep in back-to-back games and is up to five home runs on the season. He's slashing .257/.335/.429 with three steals and 22 RBI in 161 plate appearances.

  • Corbin Carroll RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Goes deep again

    Carroll went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during the Diamondbacks' 10-6 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.

    Carroll opened Tuesday's scoring with a solo home run in the first and tied things up at 6-6 in the eighth when his groundball out brought Tommy Troy home. Carroll is up to 11 home runs on the season, four of which have come over his last seven games. He is slashing .283/.372/.558 with seven steals, 33 RBI and 42 runs over 269 plate appearances this season.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Drives in three runs Tuesday

    Marte went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI during the Diamondbacks' 10-6 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.

    Marte matched a season high with three RBI in Tuesday's loss, two of which came on a single in the eighth to reduce the Diamondbacks' deficit to 6-5. It was also the fifth game of at least three hits for Marte, and it could be the spark he needs to turn things around at the plate after he went 2-for-34 in his nine games prior to Tuesday. He is slashing .253/.305/.450 with 11 home runs and 40 RBI over 272 plate appearances this season.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Yields four runs in no-decision

    Gallen did not factor into the decision Tuesday against Miami. He allowed four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three across 5.1 innings.

    It was the second straight start in which Gallen gave up nine hits. He's also given up at least four earned runs in three consecutive outings and in six of his last eight starts. Over 69.2 innings, the veteran right-hander has a 5.43 ERA and 1.55 WHIP, both of which are worst in the National League among qualified starters in 2026. Gallen's next start is slated for this weekend on the road against the Reds.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Drives in two runs Tuesday

    Edwards went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored during the Marlins' 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    Edwards got the Marlins on a board with an RBI single in the first inning before adding another run in the third on a sacrifice fly. It was his third multi-RBI game of the season and the first RBI he's logged since May 29 against the Mets. Edwards is slashing .306/.391/.456 with 11 steals, six home runs and 22 RBI over 285 plate appearances this season.
