Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Homers in loss
Adames went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Thursday's 9-6 loss to the Athletics.
The veteran shortstop scored the first run of the game in the fourth inning, launching a home run to left-center field off Jeffrey Springs. Adames also drew a walk in the sixth before coming around to score. Over 20 appearances in June, the 30-year-old is slashing .171/.232/.434 with 12 runs scored, nine RBI and six long balls across 82 plate appearances.

Tyrone Taylor LF | CHC
Mets' Tyrone Taylor: Returning from injured list
The Mets activated Taylor (hip) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Taylor missed the last month of action while battling a hip flexor strain, but he's ready to roll after going 7-for-15 with a pair of home runs over four rehab games. The right-handed hitter will likely see most of his playing time versus southpaws as a short-side platoon partner for rookies A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge in the outfield.

Brandon Marsh LF | PHI
Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Continues raking Thursday
Marsh went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, one walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.
Marsh's power surge continued Thursday, as he's now launched three homers in his past four games while collecting six RBI during that span. The Phillies have lacked consistency in the heart of their lineup in 2026, whether it be from Alec Bohm, J.T. Realmuto or Adolis Garcia (lat) before he got injured, but Marsh is coming through with a career season. Through 297 plate appearances, the 28-year-old outfielder is batting .324 with 12 big flies, 14 doubles, 41 RBI and eight stolen bases.

Bryce Harper 1B | PHI
Phillies' Bryce Harper: Keeps mashing in win
Harper went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two walks and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.
Harper continues to put together an excellent month of June at the dish, batting .289 with five homers, four doubles, one triple and 13 RBI over his last 76 at-bats. Through 338 plate appearances for the year, the 33-year-old fantasy stalwart is slashing a robust .269/.373/.523 with 18 long balls, 47 RBI, five stolen bases and 54 runs scored.

Tony Santillan RP | CIN
Reds' Tony Santillan: Shelved by oblique strain
The Reds placed Santillan on the 15-day injured list Friday with an oblique strain, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
It's unclear when he was hurt, but Santillan last pitched Monday versus the Brewers. The right-hander had stabilized the Reds' closer job of late, turning in a 1.13 ERA and 6:1 K:BB over his last eight innings while notching three saves. Though he will be eligible for activation July 8, Santillan could be held out until after the All-Star break, given the nature of the injury. Emilio Pagan (hamstring) is on a rehab assignment and is likely to retake the Reds' closer job before Santillan returns from the IL.

Dylan Crews RF | WAS
Nationals' Dylan Crews: Three hits in loss to Philly
Crews went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.
The 24-year-old may finally be showing signs of living up to his draft billing after being the second overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. Crews has four multi-hit performances in the last six games, batting .400 (10-for-25) over that surge with two doubles, a homer, a steal, three RBI and eight runs. Crews also has a 0:7 BB:K during that stretch, and a 2:28 BB:K in 128 MLB plate appearances this season as plate discipline remains his biggest hurdle.

Andres Chaparro 1B | WAS
Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Struggles at plate continue
Chaparro went 0-for-3 with a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.
Getting the start at first base and batting third, Chaparro crossed the plate in the first inning after getting hit by a pitch, but it was his only contribution in a 10-5 loss. Since returning to the majors in mid-May, Chaparro is slashing just .172/.368/.241 with zero homers in 38 plate appearances, but for now he'll continue to operate as a short-side platoon partner for Luis Garcia.
-
Curtis Mead 3B | BOS
Nationals' Curtis Mead: Swats 14th homer
Mead went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.
The 25-year-old went deep for the second straight game and the third time in the last four, ripping a Cristopher Sanchez first-pitch sinker over the left-field fence in the first inning. Mead is still having trouble stringing together base hits -- his last multi-hit performance came June 10, and he's batting just .146 (6-for-41) over 12 contests since then -- but he's already popped for career-best power numbers with 14 home runs and 39 RBI in 237 plate appearances this season.

Jared Young 1B | NYM
Mets' Jared Young: Clubs sixth homer
Young went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.
The 30-year-old replaced Mark Vientos in the top of the seventh inning and led off the bottom of the frame with his sixth homer of the season, driving a Phil Maton curveball over the right-field fence. Young has gone yard twice in the last three games despite getting only five plate appearances as he handles a strong-side platoon role, and over 20 games in June he's managed a lopsided .210/.269/.484 slash line with five home runs and 10 RBI.
