  • Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Clubs homer No. 24

    Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

    Schwarber tagged David Peterson for a solo homer in the fourth inning, marking the slugger's fourth home run in his last 11 outings. During that stretch, Schwarber is 11-for-40 (.275) with nine RBI, 11 runs scored and two strikeouts. On the year, he has the fifth-most homers in baseball.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Homers twice in loss

    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 14-6 loss to the Mariners.

    Suzuki registered his fourth multi-homer game of the season and second already this month, but it wasn't enough as Chicago's pitching staff struggled badly Sunday. The outfielder is now up to 20 long balls this year, which is the third straight season he's reached that plateau. Suzuki's power surge also has him in the top 10 in the majors in home runs, giving him plenty of fantasy appeal so far in 2025.

  • Jared Young 1B | NYM

    Mets' Jared Young: Sitting after two straight starts

    Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Young had served as the Mets' designated hitter while the team faced right-handed starting pitchers in the first two games of the series, but he'll give way to Starling Marte in the series finale while southpaw Jesus Luzardo toes the rubber for Philadelphia. Young and Marte could be deployed in a soft platoon at DH until Mark Vientos (hamstring) makes his return from the injured list.

  • Padres' Trenton Brooks: Heading to bench Sunday

    Brooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Brooks had started at designated hitter in three of the Padres' last four matchups with right-handed pitchers and has gone 2-for-7 with a home run and two doubles in five games overall since being called up from Triple-A El Paso on June 15, but he's not yet locked in as a regular in the San Diego lineup. With Gavin Sheets getting a day off from playing the outfield and serving as the DH, the Padres won't have a lineup spot available for Brooks on Sunday.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Playing through groin issue

    Manager Bob Melvin said Devers, who is batting second as the designated hitter Sunday against the Red Sox, is playing through a minor groin injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Devers' presence in the lineup speaks to the mildness of the injury, but it will delay him from seeing time at first base with his new team. The 28-year-old has gone 4-for-20 in his first five games with the Giants and launched his first homer since the trade in Saturday's victory.

  • Trevor Larnach LF | MIN

    Twins' Trevor Larnach: Back in action Sunday

    Larnach (hand) will serve as the Twins' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Larnach didn't start the first two games of the series after being scratched Friday due to a bruised right hand, but he's made enough improvement to give it a go. The 28-year-old heads into Sunday's contest in the midst of a lull at the dish, slashing .176/.275/.353 with one home run, five RBI and five runs over his last 11 games.

  • Ben Rice 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Ben Rice: Snaps homerless skid

    Rice went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple and two total RBI in a 9-0 win against the Orioles on Saturday.

    Rice was the only Yankee with multiple-extra base hits Saturday, as he swatted a solo homer in the second inning and added a run-scoring triple in the fifth. The long ball was his first in 14 games and just his second in June. Rice is batting .173 through 52 at-bats this month, but he's at least managed to keep strikeouts down with a 17.9 percent K rate during that span.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Hits first homer with Giants

    Devers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox.

    Devers' first home run with his new team was a two-run shot in the third inning off former teammate Brayan Bello, and it proved to be the difference in the game. Since joining the Giants, the 28-year-old slugger has gone 4-for-20 with two extra-base hits and three RBI over five games as the team's designated hitter. On the season, he's slashing .267/.393/.497 with 16 homers, 61 RBI, 48 runs scored and one stolen base across 356 plate appearances.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Homer powers victory

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and four RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over Atlanta.

    Ramirez knocked out his 11th home run of the season, a big three-run home run that proved to be all the Marlins would need to win the game. The rookie has been excellent in his debut campaign while splitting time between catcher and designated hitter, slashing .239/.290/.458 in his 201 at-bats. The hits have come in bunches for the 23-year-old lately -- he has five multi-hit games over his last 13 contests, but only 13 total hits over that same timeframe -- so the next step will be finding a way to develop more consistency.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Idle Saturday

    Stanton isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Orioles.

    Stanton is 5-for-15 through his first five games since returning from the IL, and he'll take a day to rest Saturday. His absence will move Aaron Judge to the DH spot while Jasson Dominguez, Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger start across the outfield.
