Shane Drohan SP | MIL
Brewers' Shane Drohan: Earns fourth win
Drohan (4-2) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out two.
Drohan didn't miss many bats with just five whiffs and two strikeouts, but he managed to churn out a quality start and earn the win. Since entering the rotation June 1, the southpaw has posted a 3.22 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 33:12 K:BB across 36.1 innings over seven starts. The 27-year-old rookie is tentatively lined up to make his final start before the All-Star break on the road Saturday against the Pirates.

Brandon Pfaadt SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt: Tosses five scoreless frames in win
Pfaadt (2-1) earned the win over San Diego on Monday, allowing four hits while striking out six batters over five scoreless innings.
Pfaadt put on an ultra-efficient performance, throwing 54 of 72 pitches for strikes and issuing zero walks. All four of the hits the right-hander surrendered were singles, and he didn't allow any Padres to reach second base. Pfaadt is still getting stretched back out after working out of the Arizona bullpen for over a month and then spending some time in the minors, but he's been great since returning to the big club while allowing just one run across 10.1 innings over two starts. He's lined up to next toe the rubber this weekend in what's projected to be a tough road matchup against the Dodgers.

Juan Soto LF | NYM
Mets' Juan Soto: Blasts clutch homer Monday
Soto went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run, a steal and three walks in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win over Atlanta.
Soto's lone hit was a huge one -- with the Mets down to their final out in the ninth inning, he walloped a three-run homer to give his club the lead, though they would ultimately need an extra inning to emerge victorious. Known for his elite plate discipline, Monday marked the 27-year-old's second three-walk game and 12th contest with multiple free passes this season. While New York has struggled as a team, Soto has continued to produce, slashing .301/.414/.570 with 19 homers, 46 RBI, 41 runs and seven stolen bases across 72 appearances.

Matt Olson 1B | ATL
Braves' Matt Olson: Launches two homers in loss
Olson went 2-for-5 with two homers, three total RBI and a walk in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.
Olson left the yard twice, demolishing a solo homer to right field off Freddy Peralta in the third inning before coming through with a game-tying, two-run shot to left field off Devin Williams in the ninth inning to force an extra frame. This was a series to remember for Olson, who homered twice in both Friday's win and Monday's loss to bookend the four-game set against the rival Mets. It has been another stellar season for the veteran first baseman, who is slashing .273/.344/.546 with 24 homers, 23 doubles, 57 RBI and 61 runs across 89 contests.

Luke Weaver RP | PIT
Mets' Luke Weaver: Holds on for first save
Weaver picked up the save in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win over Atlanta. He allowed one unearned run on a hit and two walks with a strikeout over one inning.
With closer Devin Williams having blown the initial save in the ninth inning, Weaver was called upon to pitch with a two-run lead in the 10th frame. The 32-year-old allowed the automatic runner at second base to score and loaded the bases with two outs but got Mauricio Dubon to ground out to secure the victory for the Mets. It marked Weaver's first successful save in three opportunities this season, though he has otherwise excelled in a setup role with a 1.89 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 42:11 K:BB and 11 holds across 38 innings.

Devin Williams RP | NYM
Mets' Devin Williams: Charged with blown save Monday
Williams blew the save in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win against Atlanta. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk with no strikeouts over two-thirds of an inning.
Williams entered with a two-run cushion in the ninth inning but was unable to secure the victory, surrendering a game-tying two-run homer to Matt Olson before eventually being lifted for Brooks Raley, who recorded the final out of the frame to send the game to an extra inning. While Williams has been shaky with a 4.85 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 29.2 innings this season, Monday marked just his second blown save in 15 opportunities. Having pitched in back-to-back games, the right-hander will likely be unavailable for Tuesday's series opener against Kansas City.

Raisel Iglesias RP | ATL
Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Blows first save of 2026
Iglesias blew the save in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets. He allowed three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out one over one inning.
Iglesias entered with a one-run cushion in the ninth inning but was unable to secure the victory, surrendering a three-run homer to Juan Soto. Atlanta tied the game in the bottom half of the inning, but New York ultimately prevailed in 10 frames. Monday marked Iglesias' first blown save of the season after he entered the contest a perfect 17-for-17 in save opportunities. The right-hander now owns a 2.37 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB across 30.1 innings in 2026.

Reynaldo Lopez RP | ATL
Braves' Reynaldo Lopez: Solid in no-decision
Lopez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings in a 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets. He struck out five.
With the exception of a Carson Benge solo homer in the second inning, Lopez was effective before departing after 80 pitches (52 strikes). In three starts since being moved back into the starting rotation, the right-hander has allowed three runs with a 12:3 K:BB across 13 innings. Overall, Lopez owns a 4-1 record with a 3.18 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 51:24 K:BB across 56.2 innings (21 appearances) and is lined up to make his next start Saturday against the Cardinals.

Freddy Peralta SP | TB
Mets' Freddy Peralta: Lasts 4.2 frames in no-decision
Peralta did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk over 4.2 innings in a 7-6 extra-inning win against Atlanta. He struck out six.
The right-hander allowed two unearned runs in the second inning before surrendering a solo shot to Matt Olson in the third frame. After throwing 103 pitches (61 strikes), Peralta was lifted following 4.2 innings, marking the first time he failed to complete five innings in consecutive starts this year after logging four frames in his previous outing. It has been a disappointing first season with the Mets for the 30-year-old, who owns a 5-7 record with a 4.68 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 98:39 K:BB across 100 innings (19 starts). Peralta's final start before the All-Star break is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Red Sox.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Blasts three-run homer in win
Abrams went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a steal in Monday's win over the Astros.
Abrams tallied a trio of hits, highlighted by a three-run blast in the third inning that left the bat at 108.1 mph. Monday marked the shortstop's sixth three-hit game of the season and his first since June 13. Over his past 15 contests, the 25-year-old is slashing .228/.262/.526 with five homers, 10 RBI, eight runs and three stolen bases.
