De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base in a 4-1 win over Atlanta on Monday.

De La Cruz tripled and scored a run in the first inning and then singled and scored again in the third. He also stole his 49th base of the season in the fifth frame. The 22-year-old extended his hit streak to 10 games, and his major-league leading stolen base total is 19 ahead of Brice Turang's 30. On the season, De La Cruz is hitting .258 with 17 home runs, 44 RBI and 67 runs scored across 431 plate appearances.

Greene (7-4) earned the win against Atlanta on Monday, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out seven over seven scoreless innings.

Greene didn't allow an extra-base hit and cruised to his second consecutive win and third straight quality start. The 24-year-old has been dominant in July, yielding just one run in 20 innings with 24 strikeouts. On the season, he owns a 3.14 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 133:48 K:BB across 117.1 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Rays this weekend.

Lopez (7-4) took the loss against the Reds on Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

Lopez allowed more than three earned runs for the first time all season in his second consecutive loss. He generated 13 swinging strikes on 85 pitches but also yielded nine hard-hit balls and saw his ERA rise above 2.00 for the first time this year. The 30-year-old still leads all starting pitchers with a 2.12 ERA to go along with a 1.19 WHIP and 100:36 K:BB across 101.2 innings. He will try to rebound in a road matchup with the Mets this weekend.

Bell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional RBI in Monday's loss to the Mets.

Bell took Mets starter David Peterson deep in the fifth inning before adding an RBI groundout in the ninth. The 31-year-old has struggled mightily during the month of July, batting just .136 with two home runs, seven RBI and three runs scored in 15 games.

Diaz picked up his 12th save of the season Monday against Miami, allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk in one inning. He struck out one.

The Marlins gave Diaz and the Mets a big scare in the ninth inning, loading the bases with just one out. An RBI groundout from Josh Bell cut the lead to 6-4, but Diaz induced a pop out to end the game. The 30-year-old has been excellent since returning from suspension July 6, allowing just one earned run in 5.2 innings while going 5-for-6 in save opportunities.

Chirinos (0-2) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing five earned runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out four in five innings.

Chirinos was hoping to rebound after a brutal start his last time out in which he allowed three long balls and seven earned runs, but Monday's outing wasn't much better as the right-hander yielded two more home runs. The 30-year-old has failed to find his footing in 2024, logging a dismal 6.30 ERA and 1.87 WHIP with a 25:13 K:BB in 30 innings. The right-hander will not be a recommended fantasy option for his next start, currently scheduled for this weekend in Milwaukee.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's win against Miami.

Lindor took Marlins starter Yonny Chirinos deep in the fourth inning before launching another home run in the ninth off JT Chargois to propel the Mets to victory. The 30-year-old registered his second multi-home run game of the season while adding his 20th stolen base for good measure. The star shortstop has had an excellent July thus far, slashing .294/.429/.588 with six home runs, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and five steals in 18 games.

Peterson (5-0) picked up the win Monday against Miami, allowing two earned runs on six hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out four.

Peterson wasn't flashy, but he allowed two earned runs or fewer in a sixth consecutive start, logging a 2.53 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 30:18 K:BB in 32 innings during that stretch. The southpaw's poor 36:23 K:BB in 48.2 innings limits his upside, but he has been solid for the Mets this season with a 3.14 ERA. He will look to keep rolling his next time out, a start which is tentatively scheduled for this weekend against Atlanta.

Ray (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

As expected, Ray has been cleared to return during San Francisco's upcoming series against the Dodgers after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery. He may face some limitations during his first big-league start since March 2023, though he tossed 78 pitches and worked into the sixth inning during his final rehab outing Friday for Triple-A Sacramento.

Winn (elbow) has been shut down from throwing after experiencing discomfort in his elbow over the weekend, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Winn has been out since June 22 with a nerve issue in his right elbow and he appears to have suffered a setback in his recovery. The timeline for the right-hander's return is unclear at this point and with just over two months remaining in the season, it's possible that the Giants could opt to shut him down completely if his issues persist.
