Andres Gimenez SS | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Swipes three bags Wednesday
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, an RBI and three stolen bases in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox.
The Blue Jays evidently liked seeing Mickey Gasper working behind the plate for Boston, as they went 5-for-5 on steal attempts against him during the game. It was the third three-steal game of Gimenez's career, and his first since July 6, 2023 when he was still playing for Cleveland. It was also the 27-year-old infielder's fourth multi-hit performance in the last 10 contests, a stretch in which he's slashing .355/.394/.548 with three doubles, a homer, four RBI and six runs in addition to Wednesday's thefts.

Gunnar Henderson SS | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Opens scoring with homer
Henderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.
After opening June with no homers or RBI over 10 games, Henderson has two long balls and four RBI across his last five contests. The shortstop opened the scoring when he took George Kirby deep in the third inning. Henderson is batting .225 with a .713 OPS, 15 homers, 36 RBI, 40 runs scored, six stolen bases, 13 doubles and a triple over 74 contests this season. He's just two homers shy of his total from last year, but the rest of his numbers are level or a bit down compared to 2025.

Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL
Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Blasts homer in loss
Dubon went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Giants.
Dubon hit a line drive over the wall in left-center field off Matt Gage in the ninth inning to cut Atlanta's lead to 7-4, though Atlanta's comeback bid ultimately fell short. The super-utility man extended his hitting streak to seven games, though his .250/.300/.357 slash line during that stretch is underwhelming since he has exactly one hit in each contest. Dubon led off this game and had a rare start in center field while Michael Harris (back) nurses an injury.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Homers again in win
Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-5 win over Atlanta on Wednesday.
Adames smacked his 12th homer of the season in the second inning off JR Ritchie with a deep drive to left field. The veteran shortstop has now homered in back-to-back games, but he still has just three hits in his past 36 at-bats and is batting .170 through 14 games in June.

Cooper Pratt SS | MIL
Brewers' Cooper Pratt: First MLB hit and RBI in win
Pratt went 2-for-4 with an RBI, run scored and stolen base in the 9-4 win over the Guardians on Wednesday.
Pratt achieved his first ever hit in the second inning against Gavin Williams with a single to right in his first at-bat of the game. The rookie then lined a ball to right to drive a run home in the eighth to bring the score to 9-4. The 21-year-old has started at shortstop and batted eighth in the batting order his first two game with the ball club.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Hits first home run since May
Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Rockies. He also stole a base.
Swanson has been in a miserable funk at the plate, but he showed some signs of life with his eighth home run of the season Wednesday. It was the shortstop's first long ball since May 18, a span of 24 games. In the time between homers, Swanson batted just .135 with a .414 OPS and a lone RBI. It will take a few more good games for fantasy managers to begin to trust that the veteran is out of his slump.

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Posts first career multi-homer game
Montgomery went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 loss to the Yankees.
It was the first career multi-homer game for Montgomery, who socked a pair of two-run shots Wednesday. The slugging infielder has tallied just seven hits in 40 at-bats during June, but six have gone for extra bases. Through 288 trips to the plate in 2026, Montgomery is slashing .225/.319/.502 with 19 big flies, 13 doubles, 44 RBI and 35 runs scored while hitting primarily for power.

Kevin McGonigle SS | DET
Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Goes deep again Wednesday
McGonigle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Astros.
McGonigle is starting to get his power stroke going, as he now has three home runs across his last nine games. Before that, the rookie infielder had three long balls in his first 72 games of the season. McGonigle was already producing plenty of fantasy value thanks to his .282 batting average and .390 on-base percentage, but the uptick in power production is adding another element to his game.

Bo Bichette SS | NYM
Mets' Bo Bichette: Keeps raking in Cincy
Bichette went 3-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Reds.
The former Blue Jay reeled off his sixth straight multi-hit performance while setting a season high in runs scored. Bichette was sitting on a .570 OPS after an 0-for-7 showing to begin June, but he's been on fire since then, batting .436 (24-for-55) over his last 13 games with five doubles, a triple, three homers, 11 runs and 14 RBI.

Joseph Ortiz SS | MIL
Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Sitting in second straight game
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Ortiz had made four consecutive starts to close out the past week, but he looks like he'll have to settle for a utility role after the Brewers promoted one of their top prospects (Cooper Pratt) from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. Milwaukee will keep Ortiz on the bench for a second straight night while Pratt gets another look as the team's starting shortstop.
