Rocchio went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-6 loss to the Twins.

Rocchio's run-scoring single in the first inning put the Guardians on the board in opening frame for the second time in the last three contests. He also extended a hit streak (five games) and an RBI streak (three). Over a 29-game stretch since June 18, he's never gone more than one game without a hit while slashing .296/.319/.452 with six doubles, four home runs, 16 RBI and 14 runs scored.

Benintendi went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Wednesday against the Rangers.

Benintendi delivered RBI singles in the fourth and sixth innings to help the White Sox to a win. Though that was his first multi-hit game in six starts since the All-Star break, Benintendi has six RBI and two runs scored in that span. He remains on pace to deliver his best season since joining Chicago, and he has a strong chance to top 70 runs driven in for the first time since 2021.

Martinez (foot) started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a walk for Double-A Akron on Wednesday.

Martinez, who appeared in his fourth rehab game, played nine innings and on back-to-back days for the first time during his assignment. The Guardians' original plan was to leave him on assignment through Friday before determining next steps, but per MLB.com, the club will reassess him Thursday.

Stewart went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Seattle.

Stewart's three-run shot in the seventh inning was the winning knock for the Reds. It was his second three-run homer in the last four games and the 21st homer overall for the rookie. He's just 3-for-23 (.130) over six games since the All-Star break, but he's contributed nine RBI during that stretch.

Steer started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Steer checked back into the starting lineup after missing a game due to a rib injury he suffered Monday. Although hitless over his last 11 at-bats, Steer has rebounded this month (.259 average) following a month of June during which he hit just .159.

Moreno went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 15-5 win over the Athletics.

Moreno hit the first of three Arizona home runs during a seven-run fifth inning and one of five the team slugged overall. The blast was his first in 28 games and seventh of the season. Moreno's been on a tear this month, going 23-for-63 (.365) with a .920 OPS across 17 contests in July.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Reds.

Naylor's up to 21 stolen bases on the season, with three coming in his last four games. The first baseman has been hot at the plate as well, logging at least one hit in 13 of his last 14 contests while going 8-for-17 (.471) over his last four games. Overall, Naylor is slashing .261/.323/.359 with eight home runs, 39 runs scored and 37 RBI across 412 plate appearances this season.

Kirk went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 4-2 loss to the Rays on Wednesday.

Kirk smashed his first home run since June 27 to deep left field off of Cam Booser in the seventh inning. The 27-year-old is starting to bounce back after missing over two months with a thumb injury and then putting up mostly middling numbers since his June 12 return. Kirk is now slashing .270/.400/.405 across 45 July plate appearances, albeit with only one long ball and four RBI over a 13-game sample. However, he's been making consistent contact, striking out just three times in that span.

Mesa went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win against the Blue Jays.

Mesa opened the scoring for the Rays in the second inning with an RBI single that plated Chandler Simpson and then provided a much-needed insurance run with a sixth-inning knock off Jeff Hoffman that drove home Junior Caminero. Mesa's bat has come alive in July after a rough June, and he's homered in three of his last four games while recording five RBI. With the recent surge, the 24-year-old has boosted his season slash line to .231/.319/.481 with eight home runs and 17 RBI over 120 plate appearances across 38 games.

Simpson went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a run and a steal in Wednesday's 4-2 win against the Blue Jays.

Simpson continued his hot hitting since the All-Star break with a well-rounded stat line Wednesday. Simpson has gone 10-for-21 (.476) with four stolen bases across his six second-half games while providing great defense in left field. The 25-year-old is now fourth in the AL in stolen bases but has also been caught stealing an MLB-high 11 times over 95 games, nearly matching his 2025 total of 12 across 109 games.
