  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Homers in four-hit game

    Edman went 4-for-5 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.

    Edman had an excellent performance that included his first homer of the season in the third inning. He has logged multiple hits in five of 11 games since he made his season debut June 17 versus the Rays. The utility man is batting .395 with eight RBI, three runs scored, two doubles and one triple over 42 plate appearances.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Season-high 11 strikeouts in win

    Wrobleski (10-2) allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out 11 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Wrobleski's 11 strikeouts were a career high. He was excellent in June, allowing nine runs over 30.2 innings with a 24:4 K:BB. He's won his last three starts and hasn't taken a loss since May 22 in Milwaukee. The southpaw is now at a 2.80 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 64:18 K:BB through 93.1 innings over 15 appearances (14 starts) this season. Wrobleski is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rockies.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Pops solo shot in loss

    Devers went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Devers went deep in the seventh inning for his fourth homer in his last seven games. He's gone 7-for-25 (.280) with seven RBI in that span. The infielder is now hitting .242 with a .763 OPS, 15 homers, 44 RBI, 39 runs scored, 24 doubles and a triple over 85 contests this season. Devers has trended up over the last couple of weeks, and eight of his 15 homers so far this season came in June.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Giants' Luis Arraez: Finishes double shy of cycle

    Arraez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a triple in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    The light-hitting Arraez had a chance at the cycle but couldn't get it done, hitting a deep flyout to left field in the eighth inning. He has gone 17-for-41 (.415) with two homers, six RBI, four doubles and one triple over his last 11 games. The infielder is batting .331 with an .836 OPS, four homers, 32 RBI, 43 runs scored, 18 doubles, seven triples and six stolen bases over 80 contests.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Dealing with abdominal strain

    Chapman was diagnosed with an abdominal muscle strain following his removal from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Chapman said the injury has been bothering him for about a month, but he aggravated it while making a barehanded play in the sixth inning and later had to come out of the game. He's scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday to determine the severity of the strain, at which point the Giants will have a better idea of whether he'll need a stint on the IL. With Willy Adames (back) also dealing with an injury, the Giants are thin on infielders and will likely make a roster move before Wednesday's contest to add depth.

  • Landen Roupp SP | SF

    Giants' Landen Roupp: Pulled early Tuesday

    Roupp (5-8) allowed six runs on five hits and six walks while striking out four over 2.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

    Roupp lacked control -- the six walks represented a season high. This was his shortest outing of the season and guaranteed that he ended a second straight month winless. He has gone 0-7 across his last 11 starts, allowing four or more runs in six of them. Roupp has a 4.55 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 99:40 K:BB through 89 innings over 17 starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Blue Jays in his next outing.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Stays hot with another homer

    Marte went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional RBI in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.

    Marte's homer streak is at four games. They've all been solo shots, but he was able to supply a two-run single prior to his long ball Tuesday. Marte is batting .265 with an .806 OPS, 53 RBI, 47 runs scored, 17 doubles, two triples and one stolen base over 81 contests. He has racked up 49 of his RBI out of the leadoff spot, ranking third in the majors behind James Wood (52) and Shohei Ohtani (50) for RBI from atop the order.

  • Jaden Hill RP | COL

    Rockies' Jaden Hill: Resumes activity

    Hill (shoulder) began throwing weighted balls Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

    This marks Hill's first activity since landing on the injured list. He hopes to begin playing catch soon.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Blasts three-run homer

    Gurriel went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.

    Gurriel has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with six RBI over his last six games. He's logged four doubles in that span, but the homer Tuesday was his first since May 17, before he sustained a hamstring injury. Gurriel is now batting .226 with a .603 OPS, two homers, 19 RBI, nine runs scored, eight doubles and one stolen base over 36 contests this season. He's settled in as the primary designated hitter since Max Kepler returned from an 80-game suspension to take over a platoon role in left field.

  • Brenton Doyle CF | CHW

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Scratched with groin tightness

    Doyle (oblique) was scratched from a rehab appearance with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday due to groin tightness, MLB.com reports.

    Doyle had made four rehab appearances prior to the new injury, collecting four hits across 16 at-bats. The extent of the groin issue is unclear, though it's likely to push back Doyle's potential return by at least a couple of days.
