Meyer did not factor into Tuesday's decision against the Mariners, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four across five innings.

Meyer opened his start nicely by striking out three of the first four batters he faced. He faced the minimum number of batters through four innings before giving up two runs in the fifth, but his stat line could have looked far worse after he loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth. Luckily for Meyer, his night ended at two earned runs after Michael Petersen came in and got the Marlins out of the bases-loaded jam. Meyer has given up two earned runs or fewer in seven consecutive starts, going 4-1 with a 1.96 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB in 41.1 innings over that span. He's slated to start this weekend at home against the Guardians in his final turn in the rotation before the All-Star break.

Bregman went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

While it's mostly been a down season for Bregman, he has two multi-hit efforts across his last four games, and he's collected seven RBI in his last eight games. The veteran third baseman has played in all but two of Chicago's contests so far, and he's sporting a .690 OPS with seven home runs and 34 RBI overall. Bregman has traditionally been a better second-half performer during his career, and his consistent playing time gives fantasy managers some hope that he'll build momentum as the year moves along.

Caissie went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk during Miami's 6-5 extra-inning win over Seattle on Tuesday.

Caissie opened Tuesday's scoring with a 418-foot solo home run to right-center field off Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo. It was the 12th home run of the season for Caissie, who has gone deep in three of his last six games. He has a .239 batting average over 246 plate appearances this season, but Caissie has been better at the plate of late, going 12-for-38 (.316) with one steal, four homers and 11 RBI over his last 15 games.

Amaya went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and three runs scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Amaya scored three times for the second time in his last three appearances, and he's batting .286 over his last 10 contests with three RBI and nine runs scored. The Cubs have alternated between Amaya and Carson Kelly in seven straight games, giving both players some fantasy appeal but also capping their respective ceilings. Kelly has been a bit better overall with a .763 OPS compared to Amaya's .725 mark, though Amaya is talented enough to make an offensive impact when given the opportunity.

Hernandez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in the Marlins' 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Hernandez pinch hit for Griffin Conine in the eighth inning, and Hernandez answered the call with a game-tying solo home run off Gabe Speier. It was the 12th long ball of the season for Hernandez, four of which have come over his last four games. He has gone 8-for-20 (.400) with six RBI, six runs scored and seven extra-base hits over his last seven games.

Double-A Pensacola placed Lewis on its 7-day injured list June 27 due to a broken hamate bone in his wrist, FishOnFirst.com reports.

The Marlins haven't issued a target date Lewis' return, but the typical timeline for hamate fractures is 6-to-8 weeks. With that in mind, Lewis appears likely to be sidelined through at least mid-August, with his absence potentially extending into September. Before going down with the injury, the 23-year-old outfielder slashed .240/.315/.512 with 17 home runs and 14 stolen bases over 66 games.

Marsee went 2-for-4 with two RBI during the Marlins' 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Marsee extended Miami's lead to 3-0 with an RBI single in the third inning, but he made his biggest contribution in the 10th with a long, towering single that brought Xavier Edwards home for the game-winning run. This marks the fifth time this season that Marsee has logged at least two RBI and he's reached base safely in each of his last five games, going 5-for-15 with one home run, three RBI and four runs scored over that span.

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

All seven runs came via two Ryan O'Hearn home runs, but Waldrep threw just 45 of 84 pitches for strikes and generated only five whiffs. The 24-year-old has been shaky so far in his return to Atlanta's rotation, allowing 10 earned runs over two starts after throwing two scoreless frames in relief in his first appearance of the season June 28. He'll try to find his footing entering the All-Star break in a road matchup with the Cardinals this weekend.

Skenes (7-8) earned the win against Atlanta on Tuesday, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

Skenes was given a huge lead and ran with it, throwing 66 of 95 pitches for strikes with 12 whiffs while delivering his ninth quality start of the campaign. It was a much-needed outing for the 24-year-old after he surrendered 11 earned runs over his previous two contests. He owns a 3.58 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 123:23 K:BB across 103 innings this season and lines up to make one final start before the All-Star break at home against the Brewers this weekend.

O'Hearn went 4-for-5 with three home runs and 10 RBI in Tuesday's 12-4 win over Atlanta.

O'Hearn launched a grand slam and two three-run shots, driving in 10 of Pittsburgh's 14 runs. Per Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com, O'Hearn became just the 17th player in the modern era to tally at least 10 RBI in a game. The 32-year-old has now hit safely in eight of his past nine starts, including another multi-homer effort June 28. On the season, he's slashing .293/.351/.500 with 16 homers, 61 RBI, 47 runs scored and one steal across 319 plate appearances in what is shaping up to be a career year.
