Benson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Marlins.

Benson went 23 games without a home run before launching a solo shot Saturday against the Phillies. He clubbed another round tripper Wednesday, his eighth of the season, to snap a 0-for-12 skid at the plate. In 160 plate appearances this season, Benson is slashing .224/.281/.434.

Norby went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Reds.

Norby tagged Emilio Pagan for a solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning, marking the third baseman's second round tripper in four games. He's gone 6-for-28 (.214) with four runs scored and three RBI in July. On the year, Norby is slashing .240/.289/.366 with 26 RBI and 33 runs scored.

Senzatela (3-13) took the loss Wednesday against Boston, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out three.

Senzatela continues to extend his lead for most losses in baseball, adding a tally in the column for a third consecutive outing. The 30-year-old has failed to exceed four strikeouts in all but one of his 19 appearances. Since the start of June, Senzatela owns a 5.67 ERA and an 18:16 K:BB over 33.1 innings. He'll take a 6.60 ERA into the All-Star break.

Farmer went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Farmer's two-run shot off Isaiah Campbell in the eighth inning snapped a streak of 14 consecutive at-bats without a hit. The utility infielder is up to four home runs on the season, just one shy of matching his 2024 total. He's slashing .219/.262/.348 in 214 at-bats during 2025.

Falter didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Kansas City, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Falter yielded multiple home runs for a second consecutive start, surrendering a solo homer to Salvador Perez and a two-run shot to Jac Caglianone. Falter hasn't completed six frames in seven straight outings, logging a 5.17 ERA and an 18:12 K:BB over 31.1 innings during that stretch. He'll take a 3.79 ERA into the All-Star break.

Winn went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a double in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to Washington.

Winn collected at least three hits for the fifth time this season. The 23-year-old shortstop continues to bat second in St. Louis' lineup on a regular basis, which helps offer him plenty of fantasy upside at a premium position despite a fairly pedestrian campaign at the plate so far. Through 81 outings, Winn is hitting .260 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 53 runs scored and four stolen bases covering 308 at-bats.

Rosario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-2 win over St. Louis.

With his fifth homer of the season, Rosario was able to post at least one hit for the sixth time in his last eight games. The veteran utility man got a chance to face right-hander Andre Pallante on Wednesday, but the former should continue to see the bulk of his playing time versus left-handed pitching. Rosario is batting .305 with three long balls, seven doubles and 10 RBI over 82 at-bats against southpaws while batting just .228 versus righties this year.

Bickford signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Wednesday.

After being released by the Cubs last Wednesday, Bickford will now give some depth to the Phillies' farm system. The 29-year-old righty is off to a great start in the minors this year with a 2.43 ERA and 0.72 WHIP, and if he continues to impress with his new organization, he could earn a spot in Philadelphia's bullpen.

Brasier, who tossed 1.1 scoreless innings in Wednesday's loss to the Twins, has now logged 11 straight scoreless appearances dating back to early June.

In 17 appearances overall this season, Brasier has only been scored on twice, and he's now sitting with a stellar 1.10 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. The veteran righty didn't make his season debut until May 24 due to a strained left groin sustained in spring training, but he's been an effective relief option when healthy. He has no wins or saves and has only recorded one hold, so his fantasy value is capped, though Brasier could have some appeal in deeper leagues due to his strong ratios.

Harper went 4-for-6 with a solo home run, a double and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-0 win over San Francisco.

Harper extended the Phillies' lead to 2-0 in the fourth inning with an opposite-field shot off Justin Verlander, his 10th homer of the year and one of four hits on the day. It was a breakout performance from Harper, who'd been mired in an extended slump prior to Wednesday, going just 5-for-39 (.128) with one homer in his previous 13 contests. Overall, Harper is slashing .259/.370/.449 with 35 RBI, 36 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 289 plate appearances this season.
