  • Mickey Moniak LF | COL

    Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Nearing rehab assignment

    Moniak (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, MLB.com reports.

    Moniak is scheduled to play with Albuquerque during its weekend series and will return to Denver on Sunday to be evaluated by the team's medical staff. He could presumably be activated shortly thereafter, potentially for the start of the Rockies' series against the Red Sox on Monday.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Smacks game-winning homer

    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Tuesday against the A's.

    Lowe struck out in three of his first four plate appearances, though he managed to erase that ugly start to his day by blasting a go-ahead home run in the ninth inning. That marked his 18th long ball of the season and fourth in his last seven starts. While Lowe's power production remains very strong, he has struck out at a 32.3 percent clip while hitting only .161 across 14 games since the start of June.

  • Willi Castro 2B | COL

    Rockies' Willi Castro: Drives in two

    Castro went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

    Castro opened the scoring for the Rockies with an RBI double in the fourth inning, and he knocked in an additional run one frame later. He has had three multi-RBI performances in his last 12 games, also hitting .354 with three homers, 12 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base in that span. That positive production has moved Castro up the Rockies' lineup, as he hit second for the fourth consecutive game against right-handed pitching Tuesday.

  • Jake McCarthy CF | COL

    Rockies' Jake McCarthy: Three hits in win

    McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a run scored Tuesday against the Cubs.

    McCarthy started his second consecutive game after being out of the lineup for five straight contests due to an illness. He tallied Colorado's first hit of Tuesday's game with a single to lead off the fourth inning and also came around to score in the same frame. McCarthy has four multi-hit performances in his last nine starts, and he's also scored five runs to go along with a stolen base in that span.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Homers again Tuesday

    Benintendi went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 12-2 loss to the Yankees.

    Benintendi provided an early spark for Chicago, taking Gerrit Cole deep in the opening frame for a solo shot that gave the White Sox an early lead. The homer accounted for one of just two runs Chicago managed on the night and was Benintendi's eighth long ball of the season. The veteran outfielder has provided solid power lately, homering five times over his last 15 games. On the season, Benintendi is slashing .239/.300/.424 with 10 doubles, two triples, 33 RBI, 29 runs scored and one stolen base across 228 plate appearances.

  • Spencer Jones CF | NYY

    Yankees' Spencer Jones: Rips second homer

    Jones went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the White Sox.

    Jones got the Yankees on the board in the second inning, taking Davis Martin deep for a solo shot that marked his second homer of his rookie campaign. In his next trip to the plate, the outfielder drew a bases-loaded walk to force in another run. Since being recalled June 5, Jones has looked comfortable at the big-league level, going 7-for-22 (.318) with three extra-base hits and four walks. With how he has performed, the 25-year-old should continue to be in starting lineups against right-handers.

  • Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: First to reach 25 homers in 2026

    Schwarber went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Marlins.

    With Tuesday's solo shot, Schwarber became the first player in the major leagues this season to slug 25 home runs. The All-Star slugger also started at first base, marking just his second appearance at the position this year and his first since 2021 with the Red Sox. Schwarber is batting .249 with 35 extra-base hits, 43 RBI, 46 walks and 44 runs scored across 315 plate appearances in 2026.

  • Spencer Steer 1B | CIN

    Reds' Spencer Steer: Launches 11th homer

    Steer went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

    Steer capped off Cincinnati's four-run first inning by taking Kodai Senga deep for a solo shot, his 11th homer of the season. The 27-year-old has been stuck in a deep slump lately, going just 2-for-32 over his last 11 games with both hits leaving the yard. Despite the recent struggles, Steer has still provided solid production this season, batting .249 with a .770 OPS, 12 doubles, 28 RBI, 42 runs scored and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances.

  • Sal Stewart 1B | CIN

    Reds' Sal Stewart: Drives in four during win

    Stewart went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and four RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

    After Cincinnati opened the game with back-to-back walks, Stewart quickly capitalized by launching a three-run homer off Kodai Senga to give the Reds an early lead. He wasn't done there, adding an RBI single in the fifth inning to cap off a four-RBI performance. The long ball was Stewart's 14th of the season. The outburst was encouraging given his recent struggles, as he entered Tuesday batting just .184 with a .584 OPS in June. On the year, Stewart is slashing .252/.350/.456 with 13 doubles, 46 RBI, 39 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 72 games.

  • Brady Singer SP | CIN

    Reds' Brady Singer: Grabs third win

    Singer (3-6) earned the win Tuesday against the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings.

    Singer got off to a strong start, retiring the first six batters he faced before running into trouble in the middle innings. The right-hander allowed seven total baserunners across the third and fourth innings but limited the damage to just one run on a Bo Bichette RBI-single after stranding the bases loaded in both frames. The three hits allowed were a season low, as his 1.61 WHIP this season illustrates the traffic he has allowed on the bases. Singer now owns a 5.32 ERA and 52:23 K:BB across 66 innings and is slated to face the Brewers at home in his next start.
