Joe Mack C | MIA
Marlins' Joe Mack: Pops second homer
Mack went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's win over the Pirates.
The rookie catcher hit his second career homer in the second inning off Paul Skenes, giving the Marlins a 2-0 lead they wouldn't relinquish. Mack is starting to find a groove at the plate in the majors, slashing .313/.371/.531 over 10 games in June with a double, both his long balls, five runs and eight RBI.

Heriberto Hernandez LF | MIA
Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Belts sixth homer
Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Pirates.
Getting the start in left field and batting fifth, Hernandez took Paul Skenes deep in the second inning to open the scoring in a 4-2 victory. The 26-year-old outfielder has been locked in this month, slashing .333/.368/.694 through 10 games in June with four of his six homers on the season, along with eight runs and eight RBI. The surge has moved Hernandez to the top of the depth chart in left field, allowing Kyle Stowers to see more time at first base.

Bryce Eldridge DH | SF
Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Logs RBI in win
Eldridge went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.
Eldridge drew a walk in the fifth inning and hit an RBI single in the seventh. The 21-year-old has logged at least one hit in 15 of his last 16 games, batting .439 with 16 runs scored, 12 RBI and four home runs in 68 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .317/.405/.548 with 18 runs scored, 14 RBI and five long balls across 121 plate appearances this season.

Davis Schneider LF | TOR
Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Goes yard Sunday
Schneider went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.
Getting the start at second base and batting eighth after Andres Gimenez (wrist) was a late scratch, Schneider took advantage of the opportunity by taking Jake Bird deep in the sixth inning to tie the game at 3-3, before the Blue Jays bullpen melted down in the ninth. The hits were his first in two games since rejoining the big-league roster, while the homer was just his second of the season in 40 MLB contests. If Gimenez ends up missing more time, Schneider could be in line for more than a short-side platoon role, as Ernie Clement would slide over from second base to cover shortstop.

Nathan Lukes RF | TOR
Blue Jays' Nathan Lukes: Three hits in Sunday's loss
Lukes went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.
Batting second and getting the start in center field before shifting to right when Myles Straw entered the game in the seventh inning, Lukes put together another strong performance. The 31-year-old has hit safely in 16 of 18 games since coming off the IL in late May, slashing .358/.419/.448 in 75 plate appearances over that stretch with three doubles, a homer, five RBI and nine runs.

Camilo Doval RP | PIT
Yankees' Camilo Doval: Fans two, nabs win in relief
Doval (3-0) earned the win over Toronto on Sunday, striking out two batters in a scoreless inning of relief.
Doval entered the game in the bottom of the eighth frame with the score tied 3-3. He kept things that way by retiring the side in order on 15 pitches, with two of his outs coming via punchout. Doval then moved into position for the victory when New York put up five runs in the top of the ninth. The veteran righty has been a high-leverage part of the Yankees' bullpen this season, though he hasn't been a particularly appealing fantasy asset with just one save and three holds. Doval does have three victories, however, and he has a fine 1.16 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB over 26.2 innings despite a poor 5.06 ERA.

Erik Sabrowski RP | CLE
Guardians' Erik Sabrowski: Ready for rehab assignment
Sabrowski (elbow) joined High-A Lake County on Sunday to begin a rehab assignment, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Sabrowski didn't end up pitching Sunday after Lake County's game against West Michigan got rained out, but he'll likely be on the pitching schedule for the affiliate's next contest Tuesday. The southpaw reliever has been on the shelf since May 25 due to elbow inflammation and is expected to make multiple appearances in the minors before rejoining the Cleveland bullpen. Despite not recording any saves over his 25 appearances on the season while Cade Smith has been locked in as the Guardians' closer, Sabrowski has been an underrated fantasy asset; the 28-year-old sports a 1.71 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB and has collected two wins and 18 holds across 21 innings.

Yimi Garcia RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Recovery time still an issue
Garcia (elbow) has yet to pitch on back-to-back days during his rehab assignment, or even twice in three days, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
The right-hander did show improved velocity during his most recent appearance for Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, but as yet he hasn't been able to bounce back quickly after an outing as he completes his recovery from surgery late last season to remove scar tissue from his elbow. That could delay Garcia's 2026 debut if the Blue Jays want to make sure he can handle a more regular usage pattern before adding him to an already overworked bullpen. Over his last four rehab appearances between Single-A Dunedin and Buffalo, Garcia has a 4.91 ERA and 1.91 WHIP over 3.2 innings with a 4:3 K:BB.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Moves up to 20 thefts
Chisholm drew three walks, scored one run and stole two bases over three plate appearances in Sunday's 8-3 victory versus the Blue Jays.
Chisholm didn't start the contest, but he entered as a pinch hitter for Amed Rosario in the sixth inning. Chisholm took a walk and subsequently stole second base, though he was ultimately caught in a rundown between third and home following a groundball. The speedy infielder walked in each of his other two plate appearances, and he followed one of those free passes with another steal. Chisholm is up to 20 thefts on the season, marking the fourth straight year he's reached that milestone. He ranks fifth in the majors in that category while adding nine homers, 29 RBI, 35 runs and a .229/.318/.400 slash line through 274 plate appearances.

Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF
Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Multi-hit effort in win
Lee went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.
After going hitless in his previous two outings following an 18-game hitting streak, Lee bounced back Sunday with a pair of singles. The 27-year-old outfielder singled in the third inning and added another base hit in the fifth before coming around to score. He's recorded seven multi-hit performances through 13 appearances in June, slashing .431/.453/.490 with 11 runs scored, five RBI and three stolen bases across 53 plate appearances on the month.
