Thompson went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a double in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs.

Thompson homered in the third and fifth innings. This was his first multi-hit effort since June 5, though he's had a tough time getting into the lineup over the last couple of weeks. The left-handed-hitting outfielder has lost out on a regular role as the Rockies get healthier, with Jake McCarthy (illness) rejoining the lineup Tuesday. McCarthy is likely to handle a starting role in left field, so Thompson's time with the big club could come to a close the next time a spot on the 26-man roster needs to be opened. So far this season, Thompson is batting .242 with a .722 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, seven runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 69 plate appearances.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-5 win over Atlanta on Wednesday.

Adames smacked his 12th homer of the season in the second inning off JR Ritchie with a deep drive to left field. The veteran shortstop has now homered in back-to-back games, but he still has just three hits in his past 36 at-bats and is batting .170 through 14 games in June.

Sullivan (0-1) allowed eight runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out two over four innings to take the loss versus the Cubs on Wednesday.

Sullivan threw 56 of 82 pitches for strikes, but the Cubs had no trouble getting to him. The southpaw threw three scoreless innings against the Athletics last week before his major-league debut was cut short by an illness. Sullivan pitched to a 5.76 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 50:10 K:BB over 54.2 innings with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to his call-up, and given his tough home park, he's a risky option at best in fantasy. If Tanner Gordon (hip) remains out next week, Sullivan is tentatively projected to make a home start versus the Red Sox.

Assad (5-1) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out one without walking a batter to earn the win over the Rockies on Wednesday.

Assad came up an out short of a quality start, but he picked up his second win in a row. He's allowed just two runs over 18 innings across three outings (two starts) in June while filling in for Jameson Taillon (hamstring) in the rotation. Assad now has a 3.89 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB through 44 innings over 11 appearances (five starts) on the year. Taillon is expected to be out beyond the All-Star break and Matthew Boyd (knee/shoulder) is making a rehab start Saturday, so Assad is tentatively projected for at least one more start. He's lined up to face the Mets in New York next week.

Arraez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, four RBI, an additional run scored and a stolen base in the 7-5 win over Atlanta on Wednesday.

Arraez crushed a home run to the Chop House of Truist Park in the second inning of Wednesday's game. This was only Arraez's third homer of the season and first since May 17. The 29-year-old is second in the National League in batting average while hitting .326, driving in 30 runs and scoring 37 while also stealing six bases. Arraez has batted leadoff against the past four right-handed pitchers San Francisco has face, so he should have more run potential going forward if he sticks there.

Beck earned the save Wednesday in the 7-5 win against Atlanta after retiring both batters he faced with one strikeout.

The 29-year-old locked down his first save of the season after Matt Gage's struggles in the ninth created a save situation. Beck has been shuttled back-and-forth between the majors and minors numerous times this season but has largely struggled in the big leagues with an 8.31 ERA and 4:2 K:BB across 10 innings. Despite Wednesday's save, the right-hander isn't likely to see much high-leverage action out of the bullpen for the Giants.

Ritchie (1-2) was tagged with the loss Wednesday in the 7-5 defeat to the Giants after he allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four in five innings.

Ritchie was tagged for five runs early as he gave up three home runs in the first two innings Wednesday. This was Ritchie's first start since being recalled from the minors last week. The 22-year-old was also a bit wild in the game, throwing strikes on only 54 of his 90 pitches and issuing at least three free passes for a fourth time in seven MLB outings. Spencer Strider's (elbow) presence on the injured list should allow Ritchie to pick up another start next week in San Diego.

Whisenhunt (1-0) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings during a 7-5 win against Atlanta. He struck out two.

Whisenhunt was called up for the start after Tuesday's game got suspended and finished earlier Wednesday, with each club netting an extra roster spot. The lefty, who was making his season debut for the Giants, got through five innings without giving up a run but allowed three straight singles in the sixth and was pulled from the game, with two of those runners coming around to score. The 25-year-old had a 3.65 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 13 starts and one relief appearance in Triple-A Sacramento, where he'll likely return following the spot start.

Pratt went 2-for-4 with an RBI, run scored and stolen base in the 9-4 win over the Guardians on Wednesday.

Pratt achieved his first ever hit in the second inning against Gavin Williams with a single to right in his first at-bat of the game. The rookie then lined a ball to right to drive a run home in the eighth to bring the score to 9-4. The 21-year-old has started at shortstop and batted eighth in the batting order his first two game with the ball club.

Chourio went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Guardians.

Chourio extended the Brewers lead to 7-4 in the fourth inning with a homer off of Gavin Williams just over the right-field fence. Fresh off of winning NL Co-Player of the Week with teammate Jacob Misiorowski, Chourio hit his eighth blast of June on Wednesday and has a slash line of .385/.431/.815 with 20 RBI and 17 runs through 15 games this month.
