Jonah Heim C | TEX
Rangers' Jonah Heim: Delivers game-winning hit
Heim went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over the Astros.
Heim's two-run double in the third inning turned out to be the game-winning knock. July is shaping up to be the catcher's best month. Heim, who's batting .224 for the season, is 10-for-38 (.263) with three doubles and six RBI over 10 games this month.

Riley Adams C | WAS
Nationals' Riley Adams: Belts fourth homer
Adams went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's loss to the Brewers.
Getting another start behind the plate and batting ninth, Adams led off the seventh inning by lofting a Quinn Priester slider over the left-field fence for his fourth homer of the year. Adams has started four of five games since Keibert Ruiz (concussion) was placed on the IL, going 3-for-15 with five strikeouts, and his fantasy upside remains limited even with the extra playing time.

Cal Raleigh C | SEA
Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Continues to amaze in two-homer day
Raleigh went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 12-3 win over the Tigers.
Raleigh put on another show, launching a solo shot in the eighth before blasting a grand slam an inning later, pushing his league-leading home run total to 38, just one shy of tying the MLB record for homers before the All-Star break. While the 28-year-old is now batting just 6-for-36 (.167) over his last 10 games, all six hits have left the yard, a testament to his elite power even amid contact struggles.

Victor Caratini C | HOU
Astros' Victor Caratini: Stays hot offensively
Caratini went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Friday's 7-3 loss to the Rangers.
Caratini left the yard for the 10th time this season Friday, clearing the right-field wall to account for two of Houston's three runs in the game. The 31-year-old has a hit in four straight games and has been red-hot to start July, slashing .345/.323/.724 with two doubles, three homers and 11 RBI. The latter two numbers already have matched or eclipsed his highs from any other month this season, and there are still 15 games on the schedule before the calendar turns again.

William Contreras C | MIL
Brewers' William Contreras: Rips two doubles Friday
Contreras 2-for-4 with two RBI, two doubles and a run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over Washington.
It's been a disappointing first half overall for Contreras -- his .348 slugging percentage in 2025 is well short of his .446 mark for his career -- but he's at least fared better in a small sample lately. Across his last seven outings, the star backstop is hitting .310 (9-for-29) with three RBI, four extra-base hits and four runs scored. That said, Contreras has just two outings with multiple extra-base knocks this year, and he hasn't gone deep since June 14.

Sean Murphy C | ATL
Braves' Sean Murphy: Posts sixth career multi-homer game
Murphy went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.
It was the sixth career multi-homer effort by Murphy, who is beginning to make a case for more playing time behind the plate with a recent power surge. The veteran backstop's slugging percentage stood at .423 as of June 26, but he's since raised that figure to .513 for the season. Over his last 10 outings, Murphy is hitting .314 (11-for-35) with six long balls, three doubles and 13 RBI.

Martin Maldonado C | SD
Padres' Martin Maldonado: Resting Friday
Maldonado is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.
Maldonado has not caught more than two games in a row this season, and after catching back-to-back games, Maldonado will yield to Elias Diaz behind the plate Friday. Maldonado has four home runs and a .512 OPS in 138 plate appearances during 2025.
