Marsee went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

The center fielder ended a 28-game homer drought when he took Chase Shugart deep in the ninth inning to cap a 12-4 romp. Marsee's working his way through a rough sophomore slump, but he has hit safely in eight of the last 10 games, although he hasn't had a multi-hit performance since May 29. On the season, the 24-year-old is slashing .202/.326/.308 with four home runs, 17 steals, 18 RBI and 39 runs in 73 contests.

Mack went 2-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

The rookie catcher took Tanner Banks deep in the sixth inning, one of five Miami homers in as 12-4 rout. Mack has gone yard twice in his last three games, and through 12 contests in June, he's slashing .361/.452/.667 with two doubles, three home runs, eight runs and 10 RBI as he solidifies his spot as the team's catcher of both the present and the future.

Caissie went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

The Marlins launched five homers in total, with Caissie's coming to lead off the second inning against Andrew Painter and helping to not only chase the young right-hander from the game, but off Philly's big-league roster entirely. Caissie has just three hits in his last six games, but two of them have left the yard. On the season he's slashing a shaky .209/.268/.384 with seven homers, three steals, 20 runs, 36 RBI and a brutal 40.4 percent strikeout rate in 63 contests.

Junk (shin) was able to throw a light bullpen session earlier this week and could throw a higher-intensity side session in the coming days, MLB.com reports.

Once Junk incorporates all of his pitches in a full-intensity session, he'll move on to facing hitters before eventually heading out on a rehab assignment. After landing on the 15-day injured list May 31 due to right shin bone inflammation, Junk appears to be tracking for a late-June or early-July return from the shelf.

Riley went 4-for-9 with a double and an RBI across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Giants.

After banging out a double in the first game, a contest suspended from Tuesday due to inclement weather, Riley stayed productive with three singles in the nightcap. The veteran third baseman has yet to homer in June, however, with his power drought standing at 23 games during which he's slashed .208/.311/.286 with four RBI. Wednesday's performance was encouraging, but Riley has a long way to go to climb out of an early-season hole that has him sitting with a career-low .647 OPS and just eight long balls through 73 contests.

Olson went 4-for-8 with a walk and a run scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Giants.

All four knocks were singles, but it was still a productive twin bill for the first baseman. Olson extended his hitting streak to seven games in the process, and through 13 contests in June he's slashing .346/.375/.596 with a double, four home runs, six RBI and 11 runs.

Baldwin went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Giants during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

The first-inning long ball off Adrian Houser was hit Tuesday, but the game wasn't actually completed until Wednesday due to inclement weather. Baldwin started at catcher in the contest, then went 1-for-5 with a run scored as the DH in the nightcap --although he did strike out in five of his plate appearances during the twin bill as he works to regain his timing after missing four weeks due to an oblique strain. Through 50 games this season, Baldwin's slashing .298/.381/.540 with 14 homers, 39 RBI and 41 runs.

The Giants optioned Whisenhunt to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

Whisenhunt made a spot start Wednesday in Atlanta and picked up the win, allowing two runs over five frames. The left-hander will rejoin the rotation at Sacramento, where he's collected a 3.65 ERA and 77:30 K:BB over 69 innings this season. Whisenhunt could be the first name called when the Giants need another starter again.

Atlanta optioned Camargo to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Camargo was the 27th man on the roster Wednesday and went 1-for-2 with a double in the nightcap of a doubleheader versus the Giants. He returns to Gwinnett, where the 26-year-old has a .581 OPS with two home runs this season.

The Cardinals optioned Roycroft to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

Roycroft made two appearances during his most recent stint in the majors, getting tagged for four runs over 1.2 innings. He's posted a 15.19 ERA in seven outings in the majors this season. The Cardinals will announce a corresponding roster move prior to Thursday's game versus the Royals.
