Nunez went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

With the steal, Nunez is up to 24 thefts on the season. That's good for the National League lead and is tied with Jose Ramirez for most in the majors. Nunez has made the most of his chances on the basepaths considering he's hitting just .202 with a .517 OPS this season. He has yet to hit a home run while adding 18 RBI, 23 runs scored, three doubles and a triple through 63 games, so he'll remain a speed specialist until he can display more pop.

Julien went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Cubs.

Julien has been in the lineup for most matchups against righties across the last two weeks and in nine of Colorado's last 11 games overall. He's gone 8-for-26 with five RBI and six runs scored in that span. In Tuesday's win, Julien delivered an RBI double in the second inning and knocked in two with a single one frame later.

Marte went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI during the Diamondbacks' 10-6 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.

Marte matched a season high with three RBI in Tuesday's loss, two of which came on a single in the eighth to reduce the Diamondbacks' deficit to 6-5. It was also the fifth game of at least three hits for Marte, and it could be the spark he needs to turn things around at the plate after he went 2-for-34 in his nine games prior to Tuesday. He is slashing .253/.305/.450 with 11 home runs and 40 RBI over 272 plate appearances this season.

Edwards went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored during the Marlins' 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Edwards got the Marlins on a board with an RBI single in the first inning before adding another run in the third on a sacrifice fly. It was his third multi-RBI game of the season and the first RBI he's logged since May 29 against the Mets. Edwards is slashing .306/.391/.456 with 11 steals, six home runs and 22 RBI over 285 plate appearances this season.

Stott went 2-for-4 with an RBI double during the Phillies' 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Stott gave the Phillies a 2-1 lead in the ninth inning when his double off Louis Varland brought Bryce Harper home, but Philadelphia was unable to close out the win. Stott has gone 8-for-29 (.276) with one steal, five RBI and four extra-base hits over his last nine games.

Lowe (knee) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Lowe is back in the starting lineup for Pittsburgh after fouling a ball off his right knee during Saturday's game against Atlanta. The injury was deemed not serious, but Pittsburgh wanted to be cautious with its second baseman because it was the same knee that he fractured in September of 2023. Lowe will be back at second base and batting second.

The Padres recalled Wagner from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

He will take the roster spot vacated by Xander Bogaerts and might be around only while Bogaerts is on paternity leave. Wagner has put up a .762 OPS with three home runs and a 21:19 BB:K over 30 games this season for El Paso.

McLain started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 with a double in Monday's 6-2 loss to San Diego.

McLain has hit safely in five of six games in June, going 7-for-18 (.389) with two doubles, three home runs and five RBI during the month. This production has come out of nowhere; he was batting .196 at the end of May and was not in the starting lineup for three of four games prior to Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) landing on the injured list. McLain should continue to get regular run at shortstop with De La Cruz sidelined.

Semien went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-3 win over San Diego.

Semien unloaded for his second homer in as many days, lofting a Randy Vasquez slider over the left-field wall for a solo shot in the second inning. The second baseman has been on a power surge of late, going 7-for-25 (.280) with four homers over his past seven games. On the year, the 35-year-old is slashing .226/.277/.362 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 26 runs and five stolen bases across 65 games.

McLain went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.

It was the second career multi-homer effort by McLain, who has now gone deep in back-to-back games. The middle infielder was virtually unstoppable during spring training earlier this year, posting a 1.540 OPS across 59 Cactus League plate appearances, but he's cooled down dramatically since the start of the regular season. McLain is slashing .206/.303/.368 with eight long balls, 10 doubles, 25 RBI and seven stolen bases through 239 trips to the plate, but he could be starting up a power surge.
