Smith went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Smith doubled to right field during the fifth inning and added a walk in the ninth before coming around to score. The 30-year-old has now logged at least one hit in four straight games, slashing .571/.625/.929 with four runs scored, three RBI, two doubles and a home run across 16 plate appearances during that span. The first baseman has provided an offensive boost since signing with the Giants on June 4, slashing .364/.395/.545 with seven RBI, four runs scored, three doubles, a homer and a stolen base across 38 plate appearances.

Steer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Steer started the previous four games but will head to the bench Sunday. He has a .233/.267/.326 slash line and 33.3 percent strikeout rate through 12 contests in June. Christian Encarnacion-Strand will shift to first base while Connor Joe receives a start in left field.

Benson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

The Tigers are deploying a lefty opener in Tyler Holton, but right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long is slated to work in bulk relief. Benson will begin the contest on the bench but could be a candidate to replace Connor Joe in left field once Gipson-Long takes the mound.

Greene (groin/back) will head to Goodyear (Ariz.) for rehab and treatment, MLB.com reports.

A recent MRI confirmed Greene has a Grade 1 groin strain, and the right-hander was given an epidural for the back. Grade 1 is the mildest of the groin strains, which might indicate a minimum stay on the 15-day injured list, but the back issue has an undetermined recovery time. His return could push out to early July.

Marte went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over San Diego.

Marte's infield single in the bottom of the ninth inning produced the first of five runs, giving Arizona a comeback victory. The hit also extended the second baseman's on-base streak to 12 contests, during which Marte has gone 15-for-43 (.349) with 11 walks, four home runs, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored. He's slashing .295/.418/.564 with 12 home runs and 23 RBI over 44 games on the season.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Padres.

Perdomo delivered a bases-loaded triple as part of a five-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning and then beat a throw at the plate to register the winning run. The three RBI bumped his season total to a career-high 49 (second on team) over 69 games. There's been nothing fluky about Perdomo's run production in 2025; his .279 BABIP is tied for 111th in MLB, and his barrel (4.9 percent) and hard-hit (33.5 percent) rates have jumped up significantly beyond his career norms.

Acuna went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and three runs scored in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Colorado.

Acuna's red-hot 2025 rolled on, as he notched his fourth consecutive multi-hit game and launched his seventh home run of the season. The 2023 National League MVP didn't make his season debut until May 23 after recovering from a torn ACL, but he's been among the league's top hitters since. The superstar is slashing .387/.471/.707 with 10 extra-base hits and 13 RBI over 87 plate appearances across 20 games.

Dollander (2-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks over six innings against Atlanta. He struck out four.

Dollander allowed plenty of baserunners but managed to complete six innings for the second time in 11 big-league starts while keeping Colorado within striking distance. Like the rest of the pitching staff, the rookie has endured significant struggles this season, posting a 6.57 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 50.2 innings.

Strider (1-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Rockies. He struck out 13.

​​Strider returned to form Saturday, racking up a season-high 13 strikeouts in a dominant outing. The right-hander's 2025 campaign has been challenging to say the least, as a hamstring injury derailed his return from elbow surgery. On the season, the 26-year-old owns a 4.35 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over 31 innings in six starts.

Mauricio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Rays.

Mauricio struck out in two of his four plate appearances, but he made the most of his lone hit by taking Drew Rasmussen deep to right field in the fifth inning. It was the second long ball and second RBI of the campaign for the young infielder, who has gone 1-for-13 at the plate over his past four games. Mauricio is batting just .188 through 36 plate appearances, but he's getting consistent playing time and has started seven of the Mets' past eight contests.
