Mesa went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Mesa extended the Rays' lead to 8-3 with a 107.1 mph, two-run shot as part of a five-run eighth inning. Sunday marked the outfielder's first multi-hit effort of the season and his first homer since his season debut May 25. With most of his action coming against right-handed pitching, the 24-year-old is slashing .200/.319/.350 with two homers, five RBI and six runs scored across 48 plate appearances.

Seymour allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings of bulk relief in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Entering after 1.2 innings from Casey Legumina, Seymour totaled 72 pitches (41 strikes) and allowed both of his runs in the fifth inning, his final frame, including a solo homer by Donovan Walton. Sunday marked Seymour's second extended outing after he started and covered four innings Monday, having previously logged no more than two innings in any appearance this season. Overall, the southpaw owns a 4.93 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB across 38.1 innings (28 appearances), and if he remains in the rotation, his next outing is lined up for Saturday against the Nationals.

Schmitt went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored, a steal and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 5-1 victory over the Cubs.

Schmitt didn't drive in a run but still made an impact offensively, reaching base three times and coming around to score in the eighth inning after swiping second base. Sunday marked the 27-year-old's 21st multi-hit effort of the campaign after recording 15 such games across 95 contests in 2025. Through 64 games in 2026, Schmitt is slashing .276/.308/.510 with 15 homers, 38 RBI, 32 runs and six stolen bases.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Following an RBI double from Drew Gilbert to open the scoring, Chapman crushed a sinker over the center-field wall to extend the Giants' lead in the fifth inning. The third baseman has been on fire in June, slashing .415/.519/.902 with six homers, 20 RBI and 17 runs scored through 13 games. Overall, he's hitting .261/.348/.414 with seven homers, 39 RBI and 35 runs scored across 71 contests in 2026.

Webb (4-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing an unearned run on seven hits and no walks over eight innings against the Cubs. He struck out seven.

Webb's strong run continued Sunday, as the right-hander kept the Cubs off the board through the first seven frames before a Casey Schmitt throwing error in the eighth inning paved the way for Chicago's lone run scored. Webb has been nothing short of magnificent through three outings in June, posting a 0.39 ERA, 0.61 WHIP and 18:1 K:BB across 23 innings. He'll carry a 3.46 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB across 75.1 innings (12 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Marlins.

The Cubs acquired Zulueta from the Mariners on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Seattle designated Zulueta for assignment Wednesday, but he'll regain a spot on the 40-man roster with his move to a new organization. The right-hander has posted an inflated 5.75 ERA over 20.1 innings in 22 appearances with Triple-A Tacoma so far this season, but he boasts impressive velocity and has struck out 21.4 percent of the batters he's faced. The Cubs are expected to assign him to Triple-A Iowa.

Rea (5-5) allowed four runs on six hits across 4.2 innings and took the loss in Sunday's 5-1 defeat to the Giants. He walked three and struck out two.

Rea worked as the bulk pitcher behind opener Ryan Rolison, and the former struggled upon entering the contest. The veteran righty has now taken the loss in his last two appearances, during which time he's allowed 11 runs across 9.1 innings, which has pushed his season ERA up to 5.35. Rea doesn't strike out many batters, with only a 6.8 K/9 on the year, and that limits his margin for error as well as his fantasy upside. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next scheduled appearance, which is currently lined up for Saturday against the Blue Jays, though it's unclear if he'll start of work behind an opener again.

Kelly (4-2) earned the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing one hit and no walks in two scoreless innings of work. He struck out three.

While the 28-year-old right-hander last saw a save opportunity during his May 12 outing versus Toronto, he's remained a key cog in Tampa Bay's bullpen despite losing the closer job to Bryan Baker. Kelly boasts a 2.27 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB across 31.2 innings this year, also racking up 14 holds.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Giants.

Crow-Armstrong did his job as Chicago's leadoff hitter, but the rest of the lineup failed to produce much. The talented center fielder is in the middle of a hot stretch, as he's now riding a five-game hitting streak and is batting a robust .405 over his last 10 contests with four home runs and four stolen bases. Crow-Armstrong is a dynamic player capable of producing both power and speed, just as long as he's making consistent contact at the plate.

Wood went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Mariners.

Wood matched a season high in total bases Sunday, also pushing his hitting streak up to six games in his seventh effort of the year with at least three hits. The star outfielder has mashed three homers in his past four contests, and he is now slashing .281/.414/.558 with 20 long balls, 46 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 66 runs scored over 336 plate appearances in 2026.
