McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and two runs scored Friday against the Twins.

McCarthy was a major catalyst of Colorado's rally late in the game, reaching base on a single and coming around to score in the eighth inning, before blasting his two-run homer one frame later. The performance extended his hitting streak to 10 games, during which McCarthy has gone 16-for-44 (.364) with two long balls, seven RBI and seven runs scored.

Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and three total RBI in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Twins.

Goodman delivered his home run in the top of the ninth inning, giving the Rockies a brief lead in the contest. He is coming off a poor homestand in which he went only 2-for-21 with eight strikeouts, but he snapped out of that slump with his showing Friday. Goodman now has 22 homers on the campaign and has an exceptional .271 ISO across 319 plate appearances.

Sugano did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Twins. He struck out two.

The Japanese right-hander quickly put Colorado in a hole by serving up two-run homers in the first and second innings before surrendering three more tallies in the fifth. The Rockies stormed back to temporarily take the lead in the ninth inning and get Sugano off the hook for the loss before Minnesota walked it off in the 10th. The no-decision ends a run of four straight wins for Sugano, though he had an inflated 5.14 ERA during that stretch since he allowed six earned runs versus the A's on June 29. A matchup with the Marlins is likely on deck for him next week.

McGreevy did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing five hits and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Marlins. He struck out four.

McGreevy delivered his 10th quality start and fourth scoreless outing of the season Friday, but his winless streak still extended to eight games since St. Louis failed to score any runs. The right-hander has a 3.12 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 57:21 K:BB across 90.1 innings this season, though his record stands at 3-6 due largely to the lack of run support.

Dubon went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 3-1 win over San Francisco.

Dubon logged his third multi-hit effort in his last five games, a span in which he's gone 9-for-22 (.409). The utility man hasn't been particularly active on the basepaths this season -- this was just his second steal on four attempts, with both successful thefts coming in June. He's now batting .267 with a .735 OPS, eight home runs, 43 RBI, 34 runs scored, 15 doubles and two triples over 76 contests.

Iglesias pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-1 win over San Francisco.

Iglesias has run into some struggles lately, allowing four runs (two earned) over his last 5.2 innings. He took two losses in that five-game span, while Friday's outing marked the first time in eight appearances in June in which he didn't allow a hit. Iglesias is still a perfect 16-for-16 in save chances while pitching to a 1.37 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB over 26.1 innings this season. While there are some warning signs, Iglesias doesn't appear to be at risk of losing the closing job any time soon, especially while Robert Suarez (elbow inflammation) is on the injured list.

Meyer (9-0) earned the win Friday against the Cardinals, allowing two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander spent the week on the bereavement list but returned to the active roster Friday without missing a turn through the rotation, picking up his third consecutive victory and tying a franchise record with his ninth straight winning decision. Meyer gave up just a pair of singles in addition to the free passes despite generating just eight whiffs on 89 pitches. The 27-year-old has been pitching well all season but has been particularly sharp across his past five outings with a 1.78 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB over 30.1 innings.

Waldrep allowed two hits and four walks while striking out three over two scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 3-1 win over San Francisco.

Waldrep made his 2026 debut with Atlanta on Friday after a delayed start to the season due to surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. The right-hander had produced a 3.52 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB across three minor-league levels prior to his call-up. Waldrep doesn't appear to be fully stretched out -- he threw 55 pitches (28 strikes) in Friday's game. He also has some control issues to work through before he can be trusted with a starting role. Atlanta has a gap in its rotation that will likely last through July, so it's possible Waldrep and Atlanta's starter Friday, Reynaldo Lopez, end up working in some sort of tandem arrangement. Atlanta hasn't revealed its plans for the next time this spot in the rotation comes up next week at home versus St. Louis.

Lopez allowed one run on four hits and struck out one without walking a batter over three innings in a no-decision versus San Francisco on Friday.

Lopez threw 35 of 57 pitches for strikes. He's not fully stretched out after spending time in the bullpen for the last two months. He now has a 3.47 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 40:21 K:BB through 46.2 innings over 19 games (six starts) this season. Hurston Waldrep pitched two scoreless innings in relief during Friday's game, but he also walked four batters. The last spot in Atlanta's rotation figures to be in flux at least through the All-Star break. Lopez could ultimately stretch out more, but it wouldn't be surprising if some sort of piggyback arrangement emerges since Waldrep also isn't fully stretched out after returning from elbow surgery he underwent in February. This spot in the rotation comes up again at home versus St. Louis next week.

Rea did not factor into the decision Friday in Milwaukee, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over five-plus innings. He struck out four.

The right-hander held the Brewers scoreless through five frames, but he was pulled after allowing the first two batters of the sixth inning to reach, with one of those coming around to score. Rea has been an inconsistent rotation option for the Cubs this year with a 4.80 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 63:31 K:BB across 84.1 innings, though he's given up just one run on eight hits with a 7:3 K:BB over 10.1 frames in his past two starts.
