  • Brewers' William Contreras: Lifts homer Saturday

    Contreras went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

    Contreras entered the contest 0-for-10 with two strikeouts over his last three games. He was able to end an 11-game homer drought when he went deep in the seventh inning to stretch the Brewers' lead to 3-1. Contreras is batting .283 with a .733 OPS, five homers, 38 RBI, 32 runs scored, one stolen base and 10 doubles over 58 contests this season. He continues to be steady at the plate, though he is on pace for his lowest homer total since he hit eight in his 52-game stint with Atlanta in 2021.

  • David Hamilton 3B | MIL

    Brewers' David Hamilton: Homers in four-hit game

    Hamilton went 4-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

    Hamilton popped the homer in the second inning before adding three more singles. This was his second multi-hit effort over six games in June, matching his total from all of May. The infielder is now batting .243 with a .667 OPS, three homers, 11 RBI, 28 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, three doubles and a triple over 178 plate appearances. Hamilton continues to handle a strong-side platoon role on the left side of the Brewers' infield.

  • Jake Bauers 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Gets on base five times

    Bauers went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, four walks, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

    Bauers didn't get many pitches to hit, but he demonstrated plenty of plate discipline. Remarkably, Saturday marked his second four-walk game in June, the first having come Monday versus the Giants. He has gone 5-for-17 (.294) at the plate with a 10:5 BB:K and two homers over six games this month. Bauers is batting .281 with an .892 OPS, 11 homers, 40 RBI, 37 runs scored, five steals and 12 doubles over 55 games this season. He needs just one more homer to match his career high, one he's reached three previous times (2019, 2023, 2024).

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Goes yard twice

    Turang went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

    Turang opened the scoring in the first inning and followed it up with another solo shot in the eighth. He had gone 15 games without a long ball entering Saturday, and that stretch included six consecutive hitless games from May 25-31. The second baseman has rebounded by going 10-for-22 (.455) in June, lifting him to a .282 average and .891 OPS on the year. Turang has added nine homers (halfway to last year's total) with 37 RBI, 50 runs scored, 11 stolen bases, 13 doubles and two triples over 59 games.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Stays strong in seventh win

    Misiorowski (7-2) allowed one unearned run on four hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out eight over seven innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Saturday.

    Misiorowski was undaunted by Coors Field, giving up just one extra-base hit, which was Kyle Karros' RBI double in the fifth inning. It's just the second run Misiorowski has allowed over his last seven starts, a span in which he's earned six wins and posted a 65:9 K:BB. This was actually one of his poorer games during that stretch from a control standpoint -- he didn't permit more than four baserunners in any outing in May. The ace right-hander is at a 1.50 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 116:22 K:BB through 78 innings over 13 starts this season. His next start is projected to come at home versus the Phillies.

  • Zach Agnos RP | COL

    Rockies' Zach Agnos: Takes loss Saturday

    Agnos (0-1) allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one over three innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Brewers.

    Agnos threw 57 pitches (33 strikes) in his second start of the season. He gave up solo home runs to Brice Turang and David Hamilton. Over 40 innings through 17 appearances this season, Agnos has a 7.65 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB. The right-hander filled in as the Rockies' fifth starter following Tanner Gordon's (hip) move to the injured list, but it's unclear if Colorado will keep Agnos in a starting role moving forward. This spot in the rotation is set to come up again in a road series versus the Athletics next weekend.

  • Tim Mayza RP | PHI

    Phillies' Tim Mayza: Solid campaign continues

    Mayza allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless inning of relief Saturday against the White Sox. He struck out one.

    Although he hasn't seen much high-leverage work in 2026, Mayza has been effective out of Philadelphia's bullpen when called upon. The left-hander has a 3.49 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB across 28.1 innings, picking up a lone hold.

  • Dominic Smith DH | ATL

    Braves' Dominic Smith: Smacks sixth homer in win

    Smith went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Pirates.

    Smith entered the game in an 0-for-14 dry spell at the plate in his last six games, but he launched his first homer since May 20 on Saturday. The veteran slugger has now reached base safely in 10 straight appearances as well. Smith has been effective as Atlanta's primary designated hitter in 2026, hitting .309 with 11 extra-base hits, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored and eight walks over 149 plate appearances.

  • Javier Sanoja 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Pops second homer in win

    Sanoja went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

    Sanoja turned in his fourth three-hit game of the season Saturday. Despite the eruption, the 23-year-old utility man doesn't seem to have a clear pathway to consistent action at any position for the Marlins. Through 146 plate appearances, Sanoja is hitting .267 with two homers, 10 doubles, 22 RBI and three stolen bases.

  • Tyler Zuber RP | MIA

    Marlins' Tyler Zuber: Puts out fire for first save

    Zuber secured the save Saturday against the Rays, allowing no baserunners in one-third of an inning. He struck out one.

    Closer Pete Fairbanks allowed a pair of runs to let the Rays right back into the game, but Zuber quickly extinguished the fire by fanning Junior Caminero for the final out. It's hard to envision Zuber, who saw his first career save chance Saturday, seeing consistent high-leverage work going forward. It was only his second major-league appearance of the year after Zuber opened the year with Triple-A Jacksonville.
