Donovan went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Washington.

Donovan ripped his eighth long ball of the year, also pushing his hitting streak up to six games to begin the month of July. Four of his eight homers have come in his last 14 outings, but the utility man's batting average has suffered with the surge in power. Donovan is hitting .235 (12-for-51) with one double, seven RBI and seven runs scored during that period.

Arraez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Arraez broke the deadlock with a solo shot off Merrill Kelly in the seventh inning. Arraez is up to five homers on the year, including two over his last 10 games, a span in which he's gone 14-for-39 (.359). Overall, he's batting .293 with a .736 OPS, 35 RBI, 39 runs scored, four stolen bases, 17 doubles and four triples across 85 games.

Suarez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Suarez threw just 11 of 20 pitches for strikes, but it was good enough to keep a clean line. This was his third straight scoreless outing, and he's allowed just one hit while adding four strikeouts over three innings in that span. He retook sole possession of the major-league lead in saves with his 26th of the year, and he's added a 3.72 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 41:12 K:BB over 38.2 innings.

Pivetta allowed two hits and three walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Pivetta threw 66 of 104 pitches for strikes in a strong start. He didn't get any run support while in the game, but Luis Arraez delivered a solo shot to give the Padres the win in the end. Pivetta has allowed just one run over his last 18.2 innings, adding a 23:3 K:BB in that span. He continues to work toward a career year, with a 3.07 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 114:27 K:BB across 102.2 innings over 18 starts. He is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Phillies this weekend.

Helsley notched the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Washington, allowing one hit and one walk with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

Helsley picked up save No. 18 on the campaign, and he's now tied with three other relivers for the fourth-highest mark in the National League. The 30-year-old right-hander had a very shaky stretch to open June during which he allowed one run in four consecutive outings to begin the month, but he's since settled back in nicely. Over his last six appearances, Helsley hasn't yielded a run while converting each of his five save chances.

Kelly (7-5) allowed one run on four hits and struck out four without walking a batter over seven innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Padres.

Kelly was stuck with an unlucky loss, as he gave up the lone run of the game on a Luis Arraez solo shot to lead off the bottom of the seventh inning. This was the fifth straight start in which Kelly has given up a home run. He's given up 16 runs (13 earned) over 29 innings in that span, which has been one of his more modest stretches in a strong campaign. Overall, Kelly has a 3.41 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 107:29 K:BB across 111 innings over 19 starts. He is projected to start this weekend on the road versus the Angels.

Edwards went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's victory against Cincinnati.

Edwards knocked a two-run double and scored a run during Miami's back-breaking seven-run third inning. He later brought in another run with his sixth-inning single. Edwards has terrorized the Reds in the last two games, going 5-for-9 with three doubles. He has multiple hits in 12 of 31 games since the start of June, going 42-for-126 (.333) in the process. Edwards' slash line is up to .292/.360/.339 with 13 extra-base hits and 37 runs scored through 74 games.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored, an RBI and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Ramirez knocked an RBI double and scored a run during Miami's massive seven-run third inning before doubling and scoring again in the ninth. The rookie slugger has posted back-to-back games with multiple extra-base hits as he continues to impress at the dish. He's now slashing .249/.296/.487 with 33 extra-base hits and 41 RBI through 66 career games. Ramirez has gone 16-for-51 (.314) with five multi-hit performances over his last 13 games.

Martinez (6-9) yielded 10 runs on seven hits and three walks over five-plus innings Tuesday, striking out two and taking a loss against Miami.

Martinez delivered two scoreless frames before the Marlins piled up seven runs in a nightmare third inning. He settled back in before more struggles in the sixth; Martinez put three straight runners on base without recording an out and was charged with all three runs after he was removed from the game. He briefly moved to a bullpen role after allowing seven runs against the Twins on June 19 and has since given up 15 runs over 22.2 innings (5.96 ERA). Martinez's ERA has jumped from 3.48 to 4.85 since the start of June, and he's currently expected to face the Rockies at home this weekend. Martinez could be in danger of being moved to the bullpen again sometime after the All-Star break when Hunter Greene (groin) or Rhett Lowder (forearm) come back from the injured list.

Perez (2-2) yielded a run on two hits over five innings Tuesday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Reds.

Perez coughed up a solo shot to Matt McLain in the first inning but was otherwise nearly untouchable in the win. It was Perez's second straight win after beginning his 2025 campaign 0-2 through four outings. He's produced a terrific 15:1 K:BB while allowing only one run over 11 innings during those two victories. Perez now owns a 4.00 ERA with a 29:11 K:BB through 27 innings this season. He's lined up to start in Baltimore this weekend.
