Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Continues fantastic campaign
Rodriguez tossed 6.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Tuesday, allowing three hits and issuing three walks while striking out five batters.
Rodriguez got through nearly seven innings on 95 pitches, 58 of which were strikes. The left-hander didn't give up any extra-base hits and held the Cardinals to zero runs, but he was stuck with a no-decision since neither team scored until the ninth inning. Rodriguez looked to be on the decline after posting the two worst ERAs of his career in 2024 and 2025, but he's turned things around dramatically this season, ranking sixth in MLB among qualified starters with a 2.27 ERA through 95 innings covering 16 starts. The veteran hurler's 1.21 WHIP and 70:38 K:BB are less impressive, but he's nonetheless looking like a viable candidate for his first All-Star nod.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Mets' Bo Bichette: Blasts late homer in loss
Bichette went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Cubs.
Bichette launched a two-run homer off Jayden Murray in the ninth inning for his ninth long ball of the year. The 28-year-old has been on fire lately, batting .405 (17-for-42) with 10 RBI over his last 10 games. The hot streak has significantly boosted his season numbers, as he has raised his batting average from .213 on June 2 to .251 entering Wednesday. Through 341 plate appearances, Bichette owns a .674 OPS with 11 doubles, one triple, nine home runs, 44 RBI, 40 runs scored and one stolen base.

Andy Pages CF | LAD
Dodgers' Andy Pages: Tallies three hits Tuesday
Pages went 3-for-5 with a walk, three runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 12-3 victory versus Minnesota.
Pages was one of six Dodgers with multiple hits in the offensive onslaught, and he reached base four times in total. The outfielder was in need of a positive offensive performance, as he entered the game batting just .146 (6-for-41) with 12 strikeouts over his past 10 contests. Pages is nonetheless putting together a career-best campaign, slashing .269/.320/.481 with 15 home runs, 46 runs, 58 RBI and seven stolen bases through 338 plate appearances.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Homers, drives in four Tuesday
Swanson went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Mets.
While it's been a rough season overall for Swanson, he is now riding a modest four-game hitting streak, and he's got two home runs and seven RBI during the hot stretch. The veteran shortstop is still stuck with a subpar .189 batting average and .641 OPS for the year, but he's remained a lineup fixture for the Cubs, and he's at least showing some signs of turning things around.

Alex Call LF | LAD
Dodgers' Alex Call: Clubs first long ball
Call went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks and three total runs scored in a 12-3 win over the Twins on Tuesday.
Despite Los Angeles putting up 12 runs, the team hit only one homer -- Call's 368-foot poke to left field in the ninth inning. It was the first long ball of the season for the veteran outfielder, whose career-high total is just eight homers over 128 contests with Washington in 2023. Call has served in a fourth-outfielder role for the Dodgers throughout the campaign and is slashing a solid .270/.383/.350 with five doubles, 19 runs, 15 RBI, a stolen base and a 16:18 BB:K through 120 plate appearances. He could see more starts in the short term while Kyle Tucker nurses a back injury.

Kodai Senga RP | NYM
Mets' Kodai Senga: ERA reaches double digits
Senga (0-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing seven runs on three hits and five walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings.
Senga opened the game with a promising first inning, striking out two batters, but things unraveled quickly in the second. The right-hander walked two hitters and hit another before Pete Crow-Armstrong launched a three-run homer to cap off a five-run frame. Senga later surrendered a two-run shot to Dansby Swanson in the fourth before his night came to an end. The veteran's recent stretch has been particularly horrid, as he has now allowed 27 earned runs across his last five starts while failing to complete more than four innings in any of them. Still searching for his first win of the season, Senga owns a disastrous 10.08 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 34:22 K:BB through 27.2 innings. He is scheduled for a home matchup against the Phillies next time out, though manager Carlos Mendoza suggested during his postgame press conference that Senga could be removed from the starting rotation in the near future, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Pete Crow-Armstrong CF | CHC
Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Hits key home run in win
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with two walks and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Mets.
Crow-Armstrong took Kodai Senga deep with two outs in the second inning, and the three-run shot ultimately was the difference in the game. The star outfielder has been on a power surge with 10 home runs so far across 18 games in June. Overall, Crow-Armstrong is up to 17 homers to go along with an .895 OPS and 18 stolen bases, and he's emerging as one of the most dynamic players in all of fantasy baseball due to his combination of power and speed.

Nasim Nunez 2B | WAS
Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Swipes two bags in loss
Nunez went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, one run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 14-9 loss to the Phillies.
Nunez drove in two runs and stole a bag in the fourth inning before notching his fourth multi-steal effort of the season in the seventh. It continued a torrid June for the 25-year-old, who's hitting .407 for the month and is currently riding a nine-game hitting streak that includes six multi-hit contests. For the year, he's slashing .242/.325/.287 with seven extra-base hits (no home runs), 26 RBI, 31 runs scored and a major-league-leading 31 stolen bases across 258 plate appearances.

Justin Wrobleski SP | LAD
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Improves to 9-2
Wrobleski (9-2) earned the win over Minnesota on Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over seven innings.
Wrobleski gave up a pair of runs over his first three innings but kept the Twins out of the scoring column over his final four frames. As per usual, he pitched to contact -- notching just nine whiffs and three punchouts -- but that formula has worked well for him this year. Despite a modest 53:18 K:BB through 86.1 innings, Wrobleski has made a strong case for an All-Star bid, as he's tied for second in MLB in victories, ranks 10th with a 2.71 ERA and places ninth with a 1.01 WHIP. The left-hander is also tied for 10th with nine quality starts and has five such performances over his past seven outings.

Jake Bauers 1B | MIL
Brewers' Jake Bauers: Records first triple
Bauers went 1-for-3 with an RBI triple and a walk in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Reds.
After striking out in each of his first two plate appearances, Bauers came through with the game's first run, lacing a triple down the right-field line to drive in a runner. The three-bagger was his first of the season. The hit was a welcome sight for Bauers, who had been struggling at the plate entering Tuesday, batting just .161 with a 40.5 percent strikeout rate over his previous 10 games. The 30-year-old is now slashing .267/.373/.496 with 13 home runs, 12 doubles, 47 RBI, 43 runs scored and five stolen bases across 68 games.
