Gunnar Henderson SS | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Opens scoring with homer
Henderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.
After opening June with no homers or RBI over 10 games, Henderson has two long balls and four RBI across his last five contests. The shortstop opened the scoring when he took George Kirby deep in the third inning. Henderson is batting .225 with a .713 OPS, 15 homers, 36 RBI, 40 runs scored, six stolen bases, 13 doubles and a triple over 74 contests this season. He's just two homers shy of his total from last year, but the rest of his numbers are level or a bit down compared to 2025.

Kyle Bradish SP | BAL
Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Dominant in fourth win
Bradish (4-7) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out 12 over 7.2 innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Wednesday.
Bradish set season highs in innings pitched and strikeouts during this dominant performance. It was a big bounce-back effort after he allowed five runs in each of his previous two starts. The right-hander now has a 4.00 ERA with a 1.51 WHIP and 85:41 K:BB across 81 innings through 15 starts this season. He has issued multiple free passes in seven straight outings and in 13 of his 15 games this year, which continues to limit his overall effectiveness. Bradish is lined up for a favorable road start early next week against the Angels.

Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL
Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Blasts homer in loss
Dubon went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Giants.
Dubon hit a line drive over the wall in left-center field off Matt Gage in the ninth inning to cut Atlanta's lead to 7-4, though Atlanta's comeback bid ultimately fell short. The super-utility man extended his hitting streak to seven games, though his .250/.300/.357 slash line during that stretch is underwhelming since he has exactly one hit in each contest. Dubon led off this game and had a rare start in center field while Michael Harris (back) nurses an injury.

Julio Rodriguez CF | SEA
Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Battling hamstring spasms
Rodriguez was pulled from Wednesday's game against Baltimore due to hamstring spasms, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Manager Dan Wilson said that Rodriguez's hamstring began to bother him after he made a leaping grab in center field, so the Mariners took him out of the game as a precaution. The team may err on the side of caution and hold him out of Thursday's series finale as well, though no decision has been made just yet.

Bryce Eldridge DH | SF
Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Insurance homer in win
Eldridge went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-5 win against Atlanta.
Eldridge continued his hot streak with a homer to center field in the second inning, going back-to-back with Luis Arraez to give the Giants a 5-0 advantage. The 21-year-old Eldridge is batting .400 with three doubles, four home runs and 12 RBI through 15 contests in June and is in the midst of an eight-game hit streak.

Kyle Karros 3B | COL
Rockies' Kyle Karros: Adds homer in loss
Karros went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs.
Karros went deep in the ninth inning, but the Rockies couldn't build a rally after his homer. The third baseman had gone 15 games without a long ball, but he hit .370 (17-for-46) in that span. He's logged six multi-hit efforts over 15 contests in June to keep a steady place in the lineup as the starting third baseman. Karros is batting .249 with a .716 OPS, four homers, 20 RBI, 33 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases across 71 games this season.

Hunter Goodman C | COL
Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Smacks two-run homer
Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs.
Goodman wrapped up the Rockies' six-game road trip with a homer. He went 8-for-25 (.320) with three homers and six RBI during the trip. For the season, the catcher has batted .251 with an .858 OPS, 21 long balls, 39 RBI, 46 runs scored, 12 doubles and five stolen bases over 69 contests. The Rockies continue to have three catchers on the roster, allowing Goodman to get some turns at designated hitter to keep his strong bat in the lineup nearly every day.

Sterlin Thompson DH | COL
Rockies' Sterlin Thompson: Hits first two homers of career
Thompson went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a double in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs.
Thompson homered in the third and fifth innings. This was his first multi-hit effort since June 5, though he's had a tough time getting into the lineup over the last couple of weeks. The left-handed-hitting outfielder has lost out on a regular role as the Rockies get healthier, with Jake McCarthy (illness) rejoining the lineup Tuesday. McCarthy is likely to handle a starting role in left field, so Thompson's time with the big club could come to a close the next time a spot on the 26-man roster needs to be opened. So far this season, Thompson is batting .242 with a .722 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, seven runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 69 plate appearances.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Homers again in win
Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-5 win over Atlanta on Wednesday.
Adames smacked his 12th homer of the season in the second inning off JR Ritchie with a deep drive to left field. The veteran shortstop has now homered in back-to-back games, but he still has just three hits in his past 36 at-bats and is batting .170 through 14 games in June.

Sean Sullivan SP | COL
Rockies' Sean Sullivan: Yields eight runs in loss
Sullivan (0-1) allowed eight runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out two over four innings to take the loss versus the Cubs on Wednesday.
Sullivan threw 56 of 82 pitches for strikes, but the Cubs had no trouble getting to him. The southpaw threw three scoreless innings against the Athletics last week before his major-league debut was cut short by an illness. Sullivan pitched to a 5.76 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 50:10 K:BB over 54.2 innings with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to his call-up, and given his tough home park, he's a risky option at best in fantasy. If Tanner Gordon (hip) remains out next week, Sullivan is tentatively projected to make a home start versus the Red Sox.
