Ozuna went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double during Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Yankees.

Ozuna put the Braves on the board with his 436-foot shot to left in the sixth inning, and he also hit a two-bagger earlier in the contest. The 29-year-old has a .273/.372/.530 slash line with four homers, five doubles and 11 RBI through 19 games.

Blackmon went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Diamondbacks.

Blackmon scored on a Nolan Arenado homer in the fourth inning and a Daniel Murphy single in the eighth after previously plating Trevor Story with the aforementioned double. It was the sixth consecutive multi-hit game for Blackmon, who is 17-for-23 with two homers, eight RBI and 10 runs scored in that span. The outfielder has hit safely in 15 straight games and now owns a .500/.527/.721 slash line with three homers, 20 RBI and 18 runs scored in 17 contests.

Harper went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, two runs scored and a walk Tuesday against the Orioles.

Harper hit a clutch two-run home run in the eighth inning to tie the game at five. It was his fourth home run of the season, and second in as many games. Through 48 plate appearances this season, Harper has a stellar .324/.479/.676 line with 12 runs scored and 10 RBI.

Blackmon went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and one RBI in Monday's 12-8 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Blackmon simply can't be stopped right now. His fifth straight multi-hit game boosted his season slash line to a ridiculous .484/.514/.703 through 16 games. The veteran outfielder is on a 14-game hitting streak and has already reached the 20-RBI mark.

Harper went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 13-8 win over the Braves.

Harper put the Phils ahead early with his third home run of the season and later singled and scored on a J.T. Realmuto long ball. Just like that, the 27-year-old outfielder is batting over .300 and his OPS is once again north of 1.000. He also chipped in his first stolen base last week.

McCutchen is not in the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

McCutchen has struggled out of the gate this season, hitting .133/.206/.167 through nine games. He sits for the second time in the last three games, though his previous time on the bench came in game one of a doubleheader Sunday. Jay Bruce moves to left field in his absence, with Phil Gosselin serving as the designated hitter and occupying McCutchen's usual leadoff role.

Winker went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Brewers.

Batting fifth as the DH, Winker drove in two runs on a single in the first inning and followed up with his first long ball in the fourth. Winker started against opposing lefties Eric Lauer and Brett Anderson on Friday and Saturday, something he did on only seven occasions last season. He's one of the few Reds batting above .240 and should at least remain a fixture against right-handed pitching.

Blackmon went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Seattle.

Blackmon continues to swing a red-hot bat, collecting his fourth straight multi-hit performance and ninth in 15 games this season. His slash line is up to .458/.492/.695, while he has 18 RBI and 13 runs scored.

McCutchen is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Braves.

McCutchen unsurprisingly won't start both ends of the doubleheader, and he'll take a seat for the matinee. Adam Haseley, Roman Quinn and Bryce Harper will start from left to right in the outfield for Game 1.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's loss against the Giants.

Turner went yard for the first time this season and is now riding a three-game hitting streak. The slugging third baseman is hitting .333 with two extra-base hits and four RBI during that stretch.
