  • Mariners' Felnin Celesten: Promoted to Double-A

    Celesten was promoted to Double-A Arkansas on Sunday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Celesten will move up a level in the Mariners' minor-league system after he posted a .314 average with 13 home runs, 52 RBI, 64 runs scored and 18 stolen bases over 309 at-bats in 80 contests with High-A Everett so far this year. The 20-year-old is considered to be one of Seattle's top overall prospects, and he'll look to maintain his impressive level of production with Arkansas.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Tagged for eight runs Sunday

    Feltner (3-4) took the loss Sunday against the Reds after allowing eight runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings.

    Feltner never found his footing as Cincinnati broke the game open immediately. Nathaniel Lowe belted a three-run homer in the first inning before Tyler Stephenson followed with a two-run shot later in the frame. Sal Stewart added a three-run homer in the second, and Feltner's day ended after issuing back-to-back walks in the third inning. The eight runs allowed tied his career high, set in 2024, and he has now issued four walks in three of his last five starts. Sunday's outing caused the right-hander's ERA to jump from 4.55 to 5.48. Feltner will look to rebound in his next scheduled start on the road against the Brewers.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Second multi-homer game of 2026

    Riley went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.

    It was the 10th career multi-homer game from Riley, who recorded his second such effort of the campaign. The 29-year-old third baseman might finally be rediscovering his power stroke a bit in July, during which he's walloped four homers over 55 at-bats. Riley, who hit seventh in Atlanta's lineup Sunday, is still hitting just .217 and slugging only .361 en route to posting a career-worst .657 OPS over 398 trips to the plate, also tallying 12 homers, 13 doubles, 47 RBI and a career-high six stolen bases.

  • Zebby Matthews SP | MIN

    Twins' Zebby Matthews: Shelled in blowout loss

    Matthews (4-7) took the loss Sunday against the Cubs, allowing 10 runs (eight earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out four over three innings.

    Chicago's lineup jumped on Matthews early, as Alex Bregman opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the first. After a one-run second, Nico Hoerner cleared the bases with a three-run triple in the third. The right-hander had surrendered seven runs through three innings, but he returned for the fourth and failed to record an out before four straight Cubs reached and two more runs crossed the plate, ending his outing. The eight earned runs were a season high for Matthews. After posting a 4.91 ERA over his final six starts before the All-Star break, Sunday's performance did little to inspire confidence heading into the second half. Matthews will carry a 5.40 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 58:21 K:BB into his next scheduled start at home against the Athletics.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Banner performance in win

    Baldwin went 5-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.

    It was the second career multi-homer game by Baldwin, who also racked up at least four hits for the first time in his career. The All-Star backstop fell into a 1-for-38 tailspin to close out the month of June, but he's getting back on track in July. Baldwin has gone 21-for-57 (.368) with four homers, 15 RBI and one stolen base this month to raise his season slash line to .276/.362/.481 to go with 18 long balls, 54 RBI and two steals across 334 trips to the plate.

  • Grant Holmes SP | ATL

    Braves' Grant Holmes: Nabs sixth win Sunday

    Holmes (6-4) earned the win Sunday against Texas, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out two.

    Holmes wasn't at his best Sunday, tying a season worst in hits allowed while matching a season low in strikeouts. The 30-year-old right-hander hasn't worked into the sixth inning in seven consecutive starts, fanning just two on four occasions while posting a concerning 21:14 K:BB during that span. Holmes will bring what's still a decent 3.70 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 78:41 K:BB over 92.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Baltimore.

  • Shota Imanaga SP | CHC

    Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Tosses seven scoreless innings

    Imanaga (6-8) earned the win Sunday against the Twins, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out four over seven scoreless innings.

    Imanaga threw 63 of his 99 pitches for strikes and kept Minnesota's lineup in check throughout the afternoon. Chicago's offense gave him plenty of breathing room with 10 runs over the first four innings, but the left-hander still turned in his fourth scoreless outing of the season. After enduring a rough four-start stretch in late May that saw him post a 10.80 ERA, Imanaga has bounced back with a 2.31 ERA across his last seven starts. The southpaw is lined up to face the Pirates on the road in his next outing.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Burned by long ball in eighth loss

    Eovaldi (9-8) took the loss Sunday against Atlanta, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out two.

    Eovaldi was never quite able to find a groove Sunday, surrendering one run in each of his four frames of work and three solo home runs on the afternoon. The veteran right-hander has given up at least three runs in all but one of his last 10 outings, though he does have five quality starts during that period. Eovaldi has a 4.21 ERA this year, his worst mark since 2019, but his 1.21 WHIP and 122:28 K:BB over 115.1 innings are more encouraging figures.

  • Angels' Gustavo Campero: Activated and optioned

    The Angels reinstated Campero (hand) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

    Campero has yet to play for the Angels in 2026 but was added to the 40-man roster June 6 and placed on the big club's injured list a week later after having sustained a right hand fracture in late May while playing for Double-A Rocket City. He was able to complete a three-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League within the past week and will now join the Angels' top affiliate in Salt Lake. Campero has handled a versatile role at Rocket City this season, making 30 starts at catcher, 13 in the corner outfield and two at designated hitter while slashing .287/.375/.455 with six home runs and 11 steals across 193 plate appearances.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Goes yard, reaches five times

    Lindor went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two walks in Sunday's 6-1 win over Philadelphia.

    Lindor matched a season high in RBI in what was arguably his best game of the year at the plate, totaling a season-high seven bases. It's been a difficult campaign for the star shortstop amid injury, poor play and trade rumors, so perhaps Sunday's showing will get him going. Through 184 plate appearances, Lindor is slashing .220/.304/.390 with six homers, 18 RBI, two stolen bases and 23 runs scored.
