    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Adds insurance with homer

    Marte went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

    Marte extended his hitting streak to 10 games when he took Erik Miller deep in the seventh inning. The second baseman has been scorching hot in that span, going 22-for-42 (.524) with four homers, 17 RBI and seven multi-hit efforts. The surge has him batting .273 with an .802 OPS on the year, and he's added nine homers, 32 RBI, 34 runs scored, 11 doubles, two triples and zero stolen bases over 51 contests. Marte has made a home for himself atop Arizona's order and is still tracking toward a quality year in run production.

    Diamondbacks' Paul Sewald: Allows run but converts save

    Sewald allowed one run on one hit and struck out one without walking a batter to earn the save in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

    Sewald served up a solo shot to Willy Adames, but the Giants never mounted a real threat to the Diamondbacks' lead. This is the first time all year Sewald has allowed a run while converting a save. He hasn't been all that dominant with a 3.98 ERA, though his 0.79 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB are strong marks through 20.1 innings this year. Sewald has converted 13 of 14 save chances in 2026, and his next save will be the 100th of his career.

  • Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Earns fifth win

    Rodriguez (5-1) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Giants.

    Rodriguez has quality starts in four of his five outings in May, and he's earned three wins this month. He's allowed just six runs over 33.2 innings in that span, a strong rebound after some struggles in the latter half of April. The southpaw is enjoying an impressive bounce-back campaign after two years of struggles, pitching to a 2.31 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 49:25 K:BB through 66.1 innings over 11 starts. The walk rate (3.4 BB/9) is in line with his career norms, but a career-low BABIP (.259) has allowed him to find more success than usual. Rodriguez's next start is projected to be a tough one at home versus the Dodgers early next week.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Blasts homer in loss

    Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mariners on Tuesday.

    Soderstrom logged two of the A's four hits in the defeat, and he kept the team from being shut out with a solo blast to center field off Andres Munoz in the ninth inning. The 24-year-old snapped a 17-game homerless stretch during which he batted just .169 with only four RBI. Soderstrom broke out last season with an .820 OPS and 25 home runs across 158 contests, but he's far below those paces this year with six homers and a .682 OPS through 52 games.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Notches steal in loss

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.

    Bogaerts has logged four steals over his last eight games despite going 4-for-28 (.143) in that span. The shortstop's strong April has given way to a shaky May -- he's been held hitless 12 times in 23 contests this month, batting just .203 in that span. For the season, he's hitting .245 with a .685 OPS, seven home runs, nine steals, 24 RBI and 22 runs scored over 52 games.

  • Gage Jump SP | ATH

    Athletics' Gage Jump: Takes loss in MLB debut

    Jump (0-1) allowed four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out five batters over five innings in a loss to Seattle on Tuesday.

    Jump was added to the 40-man and 26-man rosters ahead of Tuesday's contest and made his first appearance as a major leaguer. The left-hander retired the first three batters he faced but then had a rough second inning, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk. Jump gave up another run on five hits and a hit-by-pitch over the following two frames but did manage to finish the start with a 1-2-3 fifth inning. He displayed decent strikeout stuff overall, notching 13 whiffs and five punchouts. Jump could be lined up for additional starts while Aaron Civale (shoulder) remains on the injured list.

  • Padres' Ramon Laureano: Lifts solo shot

    Laureano went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.

    Laureano's last two hits have been long balls, a welcome improvement after he went 14 contests without a homer earlier in May. The outfielder is up to seven homers, 21 RBI, 22 runs scored, five stolen bases, five doubles and two triples while hitting .211 with a .676 OPS over 50 contests this season. He is just 4-for-27 (.148) over nine games since his last multi-hit effort.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Hits long ball in loss

    Machado went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.

    Machado is still struggling to make consistent contact. He has just three hits over his last seven games, but all three have gone over the fence. The third baseman's extended slump -- 21 games without a multi-hit effort -- has him at a .173 batting average and .616 OPS this season. He's added nine homers, 27 RBI, 27 runs scored and a stolen base over 52 contests.

  • Padres' Randy Vasquez: Tagged for three homers in loss

    Vasquez (5-3) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.2 innings to take the loss versus the Phillies on Tuesday.

    Vasquez gave up three solo home runs in this outing over the first three innings, and that was too much for the Padres to recover from. He's given up at least one long ball in just five of his 11 starts, and he's yielded seven homers across his last six outings. The right-hander still has a 3.28 ERA despite a pedestrian 1.23 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB through 60.1 innings this season. Vasquez is projected to make his next start in a rematch in Philadelphia.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Blasts homer in win

    Realmuto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

    Realmuto ended a 29-game homerless drought with his second-inning blast. He missed time due to back spasms during that stretch. The catcher is batting a meager .206 (13-for-63) over 18 contests in May, with just three of his hits going for extra bases. On the year, he's hitting .231 with a .621 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, 11 runs scored and a stolen base over 35 games.
