  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Chance to return Monday

    Davis (concussion) has resumed most baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

    Davis has been on the 7-day injured list since June 14 and had continued to experience some mild symptoms as of Friday. As a result, the earliest he will be activated from the IL is Monday, though his absence could extend beyond that.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    Pirates' Martin Perez: Five innings in rehab outing

    Perez (groin) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and no walks while striking out four across five innings in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

    Perez pitched in his first game since landing on the 15-day injured list May 28 and threw 63 pitches. The total was slightly below his goal of 75 pitches heading into the day, though Perez likely did enough to prove he's ready to be activated for his next turn through the rotation. The earliest he might return from the IL would be Friday at Atlanta.

  • Spencer Steer 1B | CIN

    Reds' Spencer Steer: Belts two-run blast

    Steer went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to Boston on Saturday.

    Steer gave the Reds an early lead with his two-run shot to left field in the first inning. It was his ninth long ball of the season and his third through 19 contests in June. Steer is slashing .234/.326/.401 with 45 RBI, 33 runs and 12 stolen bases on the campaign.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Launches 13th homer

    De La Cruz went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.

    De La Cruz gave Cincinnati a 3-0 lead with his third-inning solo shot, but that turned out to be the final run the Reds scored in the game. The star shortstop came into the contest 0-for-10 with five strikeouts over his previous three contests, so the three-hit effort was a nice way to get back on track. De La Cruz now has 13 long balls on the campaign, and he's added 32 RBI, 48 runs, a league-leading 37 steals and a .240/.338/.444 slash line.

  • Frankie Montas RP | NYM

    Reds' Frankie Montas: Notches quality start Saturday

    Montas allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innings in a no-decision against Boston on Saturday.

    Montas held the Red Sox scoreless through four frames before giving up one run in each of the fifth and sixth innings. He still departed in line for the win but settled for a no-decision due to an eighth-inning Boston rally. Montas recorded his fifth quality start of the campaign and his third over his past five outings. He's registered a 4.48 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 53:27 K:BB through 66.1 innings on the season.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Racks up three hits

    Winn went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Giants.

    Winn is batting .286 (22-for-77) over 19 contests in June, and he's notched four extra-base hits over his last nine games. The shortstop has taken over the leadoff spot on a nearly full-time basis, and it's because he's been one of the Cardinals' most consistent hitters this season. The 22-year-old is slashing .300/.344/.435 with four home runs, 27 RBI, 30 runs scored, eight stolen bases, 14 doubles and three triples over 68 games.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Reaches 10-homer mark

    Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Giants.

    Goldschmidt is 8-for-26 (.308) with two homers during his six-game hitting streak. He helped the Cardinals keep pace early in this contest before they ran away with the lead at the end. The first baseman has endured a tough campaign with a .230/.300/.364 slash line, 10 homers, 31 RBI, 36 runs scored, three stolen bases and nine doubles over 73 games.

  • Giants' Michael Conforto: Drives in three

    Conforto went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Cardinals.

    Conforto has struggled mightily since returning from a hamstring injury. He's gone 6-for-55 (.109) over 16 games in June, a stretch poor enough to cost him an everyday role in left field -- he's been operating as a strong-side platoon player over the last couple of weeks. The outfielder is at a .232/.290/.409 slash line with eight home runs, 25 RBI, 22 runs scored and no stolen bases across 214 plate appearances.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Launches seventh homer

    D'Arnaud went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Yankees.

    While his playing time has been limited in June, d'Arnaud is starting to make the most of it. He has a homer in two of his last three games, giving him seven long balls on the year. The catcher is at a .242/.310/.464 slash line with 24 RBI, 21 runs scored, 13 doubles and no stolen bases over 171 plate appearances. While Sean Murphy has struggled at the plate this season, he's hitting .244 in June, which has been enough to keep d'Arnaud in the backup catcher role.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Crushes homer in loss

    Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Ozuna opened the scoring with his first-inning homer. He's up to 21 long balls on the year, and he's hit five of them while batting .315 (23-for-73) over 19 contests in June. That's right on track with where he's been all year -- the 33-year-old is hitting .312 with a .986 OPS, 64 RBI, 45 runs scored and no stolen bases over 74 games this season while maintaining his usual spot in the heart of Atlanta's order.
