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.

Zack Gelof 3B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Perfect at plate Tuesday
Gelof went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Pirates on Tuesday.
Pittsburgh was unable to retire Gelof, who collected three of the Athletics' eight hits. He knocked an infield single in the first inning that resulted in three runs, though Gelof was credited with just one RBI, as two of the scores were the result of an error. Gelof added a solo homer in the sixth, but his performance wasn't enough to prevent the Pirates from pulling out the win via a late comeback. Gelof has somewhat quietly put together a 20-game hitting streak, during which he's batting a scorching .372 with four homers, six doubles, 13 runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases.

Bryan Reynolds LF | PIT
Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Clubs two homers among four hits
Reynolds went 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs, three total runs and three total RBI in a 6-5 win against the Athletics on Tuesday.
The A's got off to a 4-0 lead after one inning, but Pittsburgh managed to come back largely on the strength of Reynolds' bat. The veteran outfielder clubbed a solo shot in the sixth inning to close the deficit to two runs, and then tied the score 5-5 with a two-run blast to right field in the seventh. Reynolds extended his on-base streak to 23 games, a stretch during which he's batting .361 with six homers, eight doubles, 13 RBI, 19 runs and two stolen bases. That's pushed his season OPS to .870, his highest mark since the 2021 campaign.

Kodai Senga SP | NYM
Mets' Kodai Senga: Struggles in return start
Senga (0-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Reds, allowing four runs on four hits while striking out five over four innings in his return from the injured list.
Making his first start since April 26, Senga's return from the injured list got off to a disastrous beginning. Before recording his first out, he served up a three-run homer to Sal Stewart, and later in the opening frame Spencer Steer added a solo shot. To Senga's credit, he settled in afterward and held Cincinnati hitless over the next three innings, topping out at 97.9 mph with his fastball, but the damage had already been done. The outing did little to improve what has been a difficult season for the right-hander, as his ERA remained at an ugly 9.00. He also owns a 1.88 WHIP and a 28:17 K:BB across 24 innings and will seek to collect his first win of the season in his next start, slated to be against the Cubs.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Three knocks in Tuesday's win
O'Hoppe went 3-for-4 with a double and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.
O'Hoppe has hit well in June, going 12-for-37 (.324) across 12 games this month. The catcher has five extra-base hits and five RBI in that span, though he's also posted a 0:10 BB:K. For the season, O'Hoppe is hitting .235 with a .652 OPS, three home runs, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases over 50 games. He's trending up, but he needs to find a bit more over-the-fence power.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Homer, triple in win
Neto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.
Neto entered Tuesday's game with no extra-base hits over his previous six contests. He changed that with a third-inning solo shot. The shortstop is batting just .223 on the season, but he's added a .761 OPS, 14 homers, 33 RBI, 50 runs scored, 14 doubles, two triples and 11 stolen bases through 71 contests. His blend of power and speed makes him a reliable source of counting stats in fantasy.
