Tawa went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-3 win over the Dodgers.

Tawa put the Diamondbacks ahead for good with his fourth-inning blast. Prior to Friday, he had gone 0-for-7 over three games during his current stint in the majors. He's hitting .187 with a .586 OPS, two homers, 12 RBI, seven runs scored, three doubles and two steals across 90 plate appearances with the Diamondbacks this season. Tawa started at first base for the second game in a row after Pavin Smith was designated for assignment Thursday. First base is a weakness in Arizona's lineup, so Tawa may be able to carve out a short-side platoon role alongside Ildemaro Vargas at the position.

Peters went 4-for-4 with a double, a triple, a two-run home run, four total RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 14-1 win over the Athletics.

Peters became the third player to hit for the cycle this season, joining Pete Crow-Armstrong and Bryce Harper, and the seventh to do so in franchise history. Furthermore, Peters became the third player since the expansion era (since 1961) to complete the cycle by getting two hits in the same inning, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. This was Peters' third multi-hit performance since the beginning of July, a span during which he's hitting 12-for-27 (.444) with two homers, three doubles, a triple, five RBI and six runs scored.

Rodriguez (8-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Friday.

Rodriguez got off to a shaky start, allowing back-to-back home runs to Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages to begin the bottom of the first inning. It got better for Rodriguez after that, and he ended up with his fifth straight quality start after settling down. He's allowed just six runs over 32.2 innings in that span. The veteran southpaw continues to impress with a 2.29 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 79:39 K:BB through 114 innings over 19 starts this season. Rodriguez has benefited from a career-best .248 BABIP while allowing just 12 homers this season compared to 25 over 154.1 innings in 2025.

Burke (6-4) earned the win Friday against the Athletics after tossing seven innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and striking out nine.

Burke came just two strikeouts shy of matching his season high in that category, and this was the fourth time in his last five outings he's fanned at least eight. With a 1.69 ERA across 32 innings over that five-game stretch, Burke heads into the All-Star break full of momentum. He'll aim to carry his impressive run of results into his next start, tentatively scheduled for Friday, July 17, on the road against the Blue Jays.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Bogaerts made an early impact by taking Shane Bieber deep in the first inning. This was Bogaerts' first long ball since May 30 versus the Nationals, and he hit just .196 during the 33-game power drought. On the season, the veteran shortstop is batting .225 with a .648 OPS, nine homers, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and seven doubles across 89 games.

Sears (2-2) allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Blue Jays on Friday.

Sears gave up one run in the fourth inning and left a mess on the bases in the fifth. Jhony Brito wasn't able to prevent additional damage, giving up a three-run home run to Kazuma Okamoto to tack on two extra runs on Sears' line. Over four starts, Sears has a 5.03 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB through 19.2 innings. It's not yet clear if Sears will maintain a spot in the rotation after the All-Star break.

Civale (5-7) was tagged with the loss Friday against the White Sox after allowing four runs on six hits and a walk across 2.1 innings. He struck out four.

Civale worked behind Jacob Lopez, who tossed 1.2 scoreless innings as the opener, but he didn't have his best stuff against one of the hottest lineups in the American League. Civale has dropped his last six starts, posting an inflated 10.17 ERA over 23 innings in that stretch. Civale doesn't look like the pitcher who posted a 2.70 ERA over his first nine starts of the campaign. He's tabbed to make his next start on the road against the Diamondbacks on Monday, July 20.

Okamoto went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-3 win over the Padres.

Okamoto has three homers and eight RBI over his last four games. The third baseman has often collected his homers in bunches this season, and he's up to 22 on the year. He's batting .238 with a .786 OPS, 62 RBI, 49 runs scored, 11 doubles and no stolen bases through 91 contests in a near-everyday role.

Caminero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Mariners.

Caminero went yard for a second straight game, and the star third baseman extended his impressive power stretch -- he's launched five homers in 10 games since the beginning of July and 13 over his last 17. Caminero now has 28 homers on the year and is hitting .280 with a .927 OPS across 92 games.

Varland allowed a run on three hits and struck out one over one inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Padres.

Varland was scored upon for just the second time in his last 11.1 innings, and he also has an 18:3 K:BB during that span. However, he was able to convert the save despite the rough performance. Varland is 19-for-19 in save chances with a 1.10 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 67:13 K:BB through 49 innings this season.
