Bleday went 4-for-6, hitting for the cycle with three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
Bleday notched the fourth cycle seen in the majors in 2026. He supplied an RBI double in the first inning and plated another run with a triple in the third. He completed the feat by singling in the fourth and hitting a leadoff homer in the sixth. This was just the third multi-hit effort in August for Bleday, who is batting a mere .205 (15-for-73) over 21 contests this month. He doubled his count of extra-base hits for the month with Saturday's performance. Overall, Bleday is batting .224 with a .784 OPS, a career-high 21 homers, two triples, 14 doubles, 51 RBI, 49 runs scored and six stolen bases over 102 contests. He continues to see the bulk of the playing time in left field, and that's likely to remain true while Michael Toglia recovers from a dislocated right shoulder.
