Dallas Keuchel SP | MIL
Brewers' Dallas Keuchel: Set for second start Tuesday
Keuchel is listed as the Brewers' scheduled starter for Tuesday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field.
Keuchel endured a rocky Milwaukee debut this past Wednesday against Texas, covering four innings and striking out four while allowing five earned runs on eight hits -- including two home runs -- and one walk. Don't look for the veteran southpaw's fortunes to improve much as he makes his second turn through the Milwaukee rotation in Colorado, one of the most unforgiving environments for pitchers.

Dodgers' Will Smith: Collects three hits, three RBI
Smith went 3-for-6 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Giants.
Smith tied the game at five runs apiece with an infield single in the fifth and later added a two-run double in the 11th to put the Dodgers on top 9-7, marking his first multi-hit effort since June 11 against the Rangers. Despite his recent struggles at the plate, the catcher has still managed to post eight RBI over his last nine games and is now up to 50 RBI on the season. However, he's also struck out twice in three of his last five contests.

Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored while also drawing two walks in Saturday's extra-innings win over the Giants.
Ohtani took Spencer Howard deep in the top of the third to give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead and later came around to score for a second time in the 11th after drawing a leadoff walk. The slugger is now up to 12 homers in the month of June, with nine of them coming over his last 12 games. Ohtani has also scored two runs in two of his last three games and has drawn at least one walk in eight straight.

Braves' Adam Duvall: Filling in for banged-up Laureano
Duvall will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Brett Sullivan C | COL
Padres' Brett Sullivan: Swats first homer of season
Sullivan went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in an 11-1 victory over Boston on Saturday.
Sullivan got in on another big day for San Diego's offense by smashing a two-run homer to right field in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old was recalled from Triple-A on June 22 to fill in for Luis Campusano, who is on the injured list with a thumb injury. However, Kyle Higashioka has been swinging a hot bat, so Sullivan has made only two starts since the call-up.

Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Tallies three hits, four RBI
Rojas went 3-for-5 with four RBI and a run scored in Saturday's extra-innings win over the Giants.
Rojas recorded RBI singles in two of his first three trips to the plate before also coming around to score himself during a four-run fourth inning for Los Angeles. The shortstop continued to generate offense throughout the night, finishing with a season-high four RBI. Rojas has now recorded multiple hits in four of his last six games, going 10-for-22 (.454) over that stretch with three doubles, four RBI and five runs scored. He's batting .323 overall in June.

Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Chased early in no-decision
Glasnow did not factor into the decision against the Giants on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over three innings while striking out one.
Glasnow didn't have his best stuff Saturday, allowing the leadoff man to reach in each of his three innings of work while surrendering four extra-base hits. It marked the right-hander's shortest outing of the campaign and the second time in his last four starts that he's given up five runs. Glasnow also struck out only one batter in the contest, a season low, after fanning at least nine in four straight starts coming in.
