Moreno went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 15-5 win over the Athletics.

Moreno hit the first of three Arizona home runs during a seven-run fifth inning and one of five the team slugged overall. The blast was his first in 28 games and seventh of the season. Moreno's been on a tear this month, going 23-for-63 (.365) with a .920 OPS across 17 contests in July.

Rea (7-7) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings to take the loss versus the Tigers on Wednesday.

Rea gave up all four runs on a pair of long balls -- a solo shot by Spencer Torkelson in the second inning and a three-run blast by Hao-Yu Lee in the fourth. Rea has allowed 13 runs (12 earned) over 21.1 innings in July, giving up five homers in that span. For the season, the right-hander has a 4.85 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 81:38 K:BB through 105.2 innings over 21 appearances (17 starts). Rea is tentatively projected to make his next start on the road in St. Louis.

Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Tigers.

Suzuki provided all of Chicago's offense in the first inning when he delivered his 17th home run of the season. The talented outfielder has hit five of those long balls in 16 games this month, and he's sporting a robust .996 OPS in July. Suzuki seems poised to once again post big numbers as a key cog of Chicago's potent offensive attack.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Astros.

Hernandez has three multi-hit efforts over six games since the All-Star break, going 8-for-25 (.320) despite striking out 10 times in that span. He's also logged two steals since the break and has seven thefts on nine attempts this year. The outfielder is batting .246 with a .793 OPS, 13 home runs, 37 RBI, 25 runs scored, 10 doubles and one triple over 254 plate appearances. Hernandez is seeing steady playing time as Miami's primary left fielder.

Ruiz went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Astros.

Ruiz's playing time remains fairly sparse. That hasn't stopped him from racking up six steals over 13 contests in July despite going just 5-for-25 (.200) at the plate this month. The speedy outfielder is now batting .243 with an .836 OPS, five home runs, 22 steals, 10 RBI and 25 runs scored across 128 plate appearances. He doesn't have an everyday spot in the lineup but has seen fairly steady playing time versus left-handers recently.

Alcantara (10-6) allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out three over seven-plus innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Astros.

Alcantara had limited the damage to two runs through seven frames, but he gave up three more runs on homers by Yordan Alvarez and Isaac Paredes in the eighth. Alcantara has gone at least six frames in all four of his starts in July, allowing 10 runs over 28 innings with a 26:6 K:BB this month. For the season, the veteran right-hander has a 4.01 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 110:38 K:BB across 143.2 innings through 22 outings. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Phillies.

Iglesias secured the save Wednesday against San Diego, allowing one run on one hit and no walks in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.

Atlanta summoned Victor Mederos to record the final three outs of a 7-1 game, but he coughed up four runs to create a save situation in the ninth inning. Iglesias was shaky himself, serving up a solo home run to Luis Rengifo but held on to put out the fire. Although Iglesias has blown just one save and sports a 2.57 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 40:7 K:BB with 20 saves over 35 innings in 2026, he has given up 10 runs across his last 19.1 frames after opening the year with a scoreless streak of 15.2 innings.

King took a no-decision Wednesday against Atlanta, allowing one run on five hits and four walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

The Atlanta bats brought a run across during the first inning but were unable to score against King the rest of the way. The seven punchouts were the right-hander's most since his May 18 start versus the Dodgers, and he's now fired at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer in five of his past six outings. King will carry a strong 3.24 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 103:49 K:BB over 119.1 innings into what shapes up as a soft home draw against the last-place Rockies.

Perez took a no-decision Wednesday against the Padres, allowing no runs on one hit and four walks in four innings. He struck out three.

Making his return from the 15-day injured list with a bruised forearm, Perez fared about as well as Atlanta could have hoped for Wednesday. The 35-year-old southpaw showed some signs of rust with a lack of control -- matching a season high in walks -- but he still turned in his first scoreless start since April 28 against Detroit. Perez will take a 3.38 ERA, his best mark since 2022 with Texas, 1.20 WHIP and a 65:36 K:BB over 85.1 innings into his next scheduled outing in New York against the last-place Mets.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Bohm opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning before driving in a run on a single in the eighth. It was the 29-year-old's fourth multi-hit effort in six games since returning from the All-Star break, a stretch that includes three extra-base hits and six RBI. On the season, he's slashing .225/.283/.374 with 13 homers, 53 RBI, 33 runs scored and a steal across 399 plate appearances.
