Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Launches two-run blast
Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.
Marte extended the Diamondbacks' lead with a 111.9 mph, two-run missile in the eighth inning off Jack Dreyer. The second baseman has now homered five times in his past 13 games while slashing .389/.443/.759 with 18 RBI and 12 runs during that stretch. After a quiet start to the season, Marte's recent surge has raised his season line to .262/.317/.462 with 10 homers, 11 doubles, two triples, 35 RBI and 35 runs across 56 contests.

Tommy Troy LF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Clubs first homer
Troy went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.
Troy got the Diamondbacks on the board in the sixth inning, cranking a solo shot into the left-field stands for his first big-league homer and RBI. Called up May 23 in the wake of Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Troy has seen regular opportunities in left field and is making the most of them, slashing .318/.400/.545 with three extra-base hits and seven runs across 25 plate appearances. The 24-year-old's positional versatility should help him maintain a roster spot and compete for playing time even when Gurriel returns to health.

Paul Sewald RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Paul Sewald: Secures 15th save
Sewald picked up the save Monday against the Dodgers. He allowed no hits or walks with no strikeouts across a perfect inning.
Sewald made quick work of the Dodgers in the ninth inning, retiring the side in order on 13 pitches (nine strikes) to secure the victory. The right-hander's 3.63 ERA across 22.1 innings doesn't stand out at first glance, but 20 of his 25 appearances have been scoreless and he has converted 15 of 16 save opportunities. Sewald's 15 saves rank second among National League relievers, trailing only Mason Miller's 17.

Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD
Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Charged with second loss
Sheehan (3-2) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks over 6.1 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out three.
Sheehan was done in by the long ball late, as two of the three hits he allowed left the yard. Tommy Troy connected for a solo homer in the sixth inning before Nolan Arenado added another in the seventh frame, which ultimately proved enough to saddle Sheehan with the loss. Homers have been a recurring issue for the right-hander in 2026, as he has surrendered multiple long balls in four starts and allowed 11 total homers across 58 innings. The 26-year-old will carry a 4.50 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 62:14 K:BB across 11 starts into his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Angels.

Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Strong showing in no-decision
Rodriguez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings against the Dodgers. He struck out three.
Rodriguez didn't punch many tickets, but he was able to navigate a busy third inning and keep the Dodgers offense quiet. The veteran has now allowed one or fewer runs in seven of 12 starts as part of a resurgent 2026 campaign. The southpaw will take a 5-1 record, 2.24 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 52:26 K:BB across 72.1 innings into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals.

Jared Young 1B | NYM
Mets' Jared Young: Clubs homer in loss
Young went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Mariners.
Young opened the scoring for the Mets with a 424-foot solo blast off Emerson Hancock in the fifth inning. Since returning from the injured list May 26 following left knee surgery, Young has gone 4-for-16 (.250) with two solo homers, five runs and three walks across six appearances. He should continue to push for opportunities at first base and designated hitter against right-handed pitching, though Jorge Polanco (Achilles) could return from the injured list as soon as this week and cut into his playing time.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Mets' Marcus Semien: Goes deep again Monday
Semien went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss against the Mariners.
Semien rocketed the seventh pitch of his at-bat against Emerson Hancock over the left-field fence in the sixth inning to give the Mets a brief 2-1 lead. It marked Semien's second homer in as many days and third long ball across his past seven games, during which he has gone 8-for-23 (.348). It's been a challenging first season in New York for the second baseman, who's hitting .228 with a .630 OPS, six homers, 23 RBI, 23 runs and five stolen bases across 60 games.

Cole Young 2B | SEA
Mariners' Cole Young: Lifts Seattle to win in 10th inning
Young went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Monday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Young lifted the Mariners to victory, delivering a walk-off bloop single in the 10th inning. He's riding a five-game hitting streak, going 7-for-18 (.389) with a homer, three RBI, four runs and two walks during the stretch. With steady playing time at the keystone this season, Young is slashing .250/.325/.363 with 15 extra-base hits (four homers), 30 RBI, 26 runs and two stolen bases across 61 appearances.

Colt Emerson 3B | SEA
Mariners' Colt Emerson: Drives third homer
Emerson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
In a lefty-lefty matchup against Sean Manaea in the third inning, Emerson yanked an outside sweeper over the right-field fence for a solo homer to open the scoring. He has now gone deep in two of his past three games. The 20-year-old hasn't looked overmatched since being promoted, slashing .250/.340/.568 with three homers, three doubles, a triple, eight RBI and seven runs across 50 plate appearances.

Sean Manaea RP | NYM
Mets' Sean Manaea: Effective across five frames
Manaea allowed one run on a hit and a walk while striking out four over five innings of bulk relief Monday against the Mariners.
Entering after an inning from Austin Warren, Manaea was stellar in stifling the Mariners offense, with a solo homer by Colt Emerson in the third inning accounting for the only damage. Monday marked Manaea's first turn through the rotation, albeit behind an opener, and it went quite well considering he entered the contest with a 5.56 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 34 innings. The southpaw is tentatively scheduled to take the ball Sunday against the Padres, though it remains to be seen whether he starts outright or works behind an opener once again.
