Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Doubles in win
Adames went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Angels.
Adames lined a double to left field in the second inning, marking his second two-bagger over the last three games. The veteran shortstop has recorded three doubles in July, during which he's batting just .197 with 13 RBI, 10 runs scored, four home runs and a stolen base in 74 plate appearances. He's now slashing .225/.276/.429 with 50 runs scored, 45 RBI, 18 long balls and two stolen bases across 416 plate appearances on the campaign.

Cooper Pratt SS | MIL
Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Stuffs stat sheet Saturday
Pratt went 3-for-3 with a home run, three total RBI and a stolen base in an 8-5 win over Colorado on Saturday.
Pratt accounted for Milwaukee's second run with a solo homer in the second inning, laced a run-scoring single in the fourth and hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth. The rookie finished with his second career three-hit performance and his second career long ball. Both of Pratt's home runs have come since returning from the All-Star break, and he's batting .364 (8-for-22) with four RBI and two thefts across seven contests during that span.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Powers Nats to win
Abrams went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
The star shortstop drove in two with a two-bagger in the third inning before wrapping up the scoring for the Nationals with a solo shot off Mitch Bratt in the fifth. Abrams has gone yard five times in the last six games, and on the year he's up to 25 homers and 17 steals, one of just two players in the majors this season to have already reached the 25-15 plateau -- with the other being his teammate James Wood (28 HR, 15 SB).

Brady Ebel SS | MIL
Brewers' Brady Ebel: Electric at Single-A
Ebel went 24-for-75 (.320) with four home runs, five doubles, 14 RBI, seven stolen bases and a 22:15 BB:K over his last 21 games with Single-A Wilson.
Ebel hit just .180 and posted a .588 OPS over his first 32 games of the season, but he started to heat up in mid-May, and thanks to his recent hot stretch he now owns a .252 batting average and .811 OPS on the season. The Brewers selected the 19-year-old in the first round in 2025, and he is showing why.

Elly De La Cruz SS | CIN
Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Nabs two steals in win
De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals.
While De La Cruz has just two hits over his last four games, he's also logged four steals in that span. The shortstop hasn't been as prominent on the basepaths this season due to hamstring and ankle injuries that bookended his June, but he's starting to pick up the pace again. He's batting .276 with an .852 OPS, 17 home runs, 18 steals, 46 RBI, 56 runs scored, 15 doubles and four triples through 83 contests on the year.

Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Grabbing seat Friday
Pratt is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.
After starting all three games versus the Mets earlier this week, Pratt will receive a day of rest in Friday's series opener. Joey Ortiz will slide over to shortstop, and David Hamilton will occupy third base in his first game back from the injured list.

Joseph Ortiz SS | MIL
Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Reaches four times in win
Ortiz went 3-for-3 with a triple, a double, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Mets.
Ortiz filled the stat sheet Wednesday while ultimately coming a homer shy of a cycle. He put the Brewers ahead in the second inning with a two-run, two-out triple, his first three-bagger this season. Ortiz has been hot since the All-Star break, going 7-for-17 with two homers, four extra-base hits, six RBI and three steals in six games. He's now slashing .239/.310/.352 with five homers, eight steals, 29 runs scored and 28 RBI across 262 plate appearances this season.

Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL
Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Exiting starting lineup
Tovar is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.
Tovar went hitless in the first two games of the series and is just 2-for-32 at the dish across his last 10 contests. Willi Castro will slide over to shortstop, and Edouard Julien will handle second base for the Rockies on Wednesday.
-
Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: On base four times in Tuesday's win
Lindor went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.
The star shortstop's injury woes have been a big contributing factor in a lost season for the Mets, but Lindor is finally beginning to build some momentum at the plate. He's banged out seven hits in the last three games, and over 16 contests in July he's produced a .271/.358/.475 slash line with three doubles, three homers, eight runs and eight RBI.
