Jasson Dominguez RF | NYY
Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Tallies two thefts in loss
Dominguez went 1-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases Sunday in a loss to the Reds.
Dominguez reached base only once, but he made the most of his first-inning single by swiping both second and third base. The talented young outfielder has stolen three bases over his past two contests after going without a theft across his first 14 games of the campaign. Dominguez certainly has the potential to notch plenty of steals given his 82nd percentile sprint speed.

Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Continues to be active on basepaths
Chisholm went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases against Cincinnati in a loss Sunday.
New York racked up six thefts as a team Sunday, but none of the base stealers ended up scoring. Chisholm's stolen bases were his eighth and ninth through 17 contests in June, and he's now up to 23 on the campaign, putting him on pace to surpass his career-best mark of 40 steals, which he established in 2024. Chisholm has complemented his work on the basepaths with 11 homers, and he's one of four major-leaguers so far with at least 10 long balls and 20 thefts on the campaign.

Cody Bellinger LF | NYY
Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Reaches 10 thefts
Bellinger went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in a loss to the Reds on Sunday.
Bellinger was one of three Yankees to swipe two bags, but incredibly, none of the thefts led to any runs. Bellinger's steals were his ninth and 10th of campaign, and he's now reached double-digit steals for the seventh time in his career. The veteran outfielder is one of 16 major-leaguers so far in 2026 to reach double-digit homers and thefts.

Ben Rice 1B | NYY
Yankees' Ben Rice: Launches 24th long ball
Rice went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday in a loss to Cincinnati.
Rice produced the lone New York run Sunday with a 375-foot solo homer in the third inning. The slugger has shown no signs of slowing down after a hot start to the season -- over his past seven games, he's batting .310 (9-for-29) with four homers and eight RBI. Rice is among the MLB leaders in several categories, including OPS (1.004, second place), homers (22. fourth place) and RBI (53, tied for eighth place).

Tristan Peters CF | CHW
White Sox's Tristan Peters: Knocks in two
Peters went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Tigers.
Peters was a primary driver of the White Sox's offense Sunday, doubling in a run in the seventh inning before hitting a sacrifice fly in the 10th frame. This marked Peter's first multi-hit effort in his last nine starts, and he's gone just 5-for-28 in that span. Overall, he's been a source of empty batting average in 210 plate appearances this season, though he has been Chicago's primary center fielder and should remain in that role due to his strong ability with the glove.

Luisangel Acuna CF | CHW
White Sox's Luisangel Acuna: Slugs first homer
Acuna went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Tigers.
Acuna has been limited to a short-side platoon role for most of the season, with his start Sunday marking only his fifth against a righty since the start of May. He did manage to make a positive impression with his opportunity, smacking a two-run home run in the sixth inning off Keider Montero for his first long ball of the season. Acuna's lack of playing time keeps him off the fantasy radar in nearly every format, though he has gone 10-for-24 with five RBI and four runs scored since June 1.

Pete Alonso 1B | BAL
Orioles' Pete Alonso: Crushes 18th homer
Alonso went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Sunday's 12-1 victory over the Dodgers.
Alonso added on in the rout, crushing a three-run homer in the seventh inning to extend the Orioles' lead to 10-1. The first baseman has put together a strong June, slashing .290/.398/.609 with seven homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base across 19 games this month. In his first season with Baltimore, the 31-year-old is hitting .249/.337/.475 with 18 homers, 52 RBI, 48 runs and two stolen bases through 79 contests.

Blaze Alexander 3B | BAL
Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Homers in three-hit effort
Alexander went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 12-1 victory over the Dodgers.
Alexander excelled in the blowout win, recording his seventh three-hit performance of the campaign, highlighted by a two-run homer in the eighth inning. The 27-year-old has been on fire in June, slashing .422/.460/.689 with two homers, six doubles, nine RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases across 16 appearances this month while solidifying himself as the Orioles' top option at the hot corner. Overall, Alexander is hitting .312/.362/.447 with three homers, 12 doubles, a triple, 23 RBI, 22 runs and eight stolen bases across 66 contests in 2026.

Brandon Young SP | BAL
Orioles' Brandon Young: Earns sixth win
Young (6-2) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over five innings against the Dodgers. He struck out five.
Young navigated the vaunted Dodgers offense, allowing a run in the first inning before working the next four frames scoreless. Through four starts in June, the right-hander has posted a 3-1 record with a 2.59 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB across 24.1 innings. The 27-year-old has been a pleasant surprise in 2026, compiling a 3.07 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 49:25 K:BB across 67.1 innings (12 starts). Young's next start is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals.

Nathan Eaton CF | BOS
Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Goes yard in loss
Eaton went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Seattle.
Eaton started in right field and delivered Boston's lone run, blasting a solo shot to left field in the third inning. After opening the year with Triple-A Worcester, the 29-year-old was recalled June 8 and has played sparingly since. Across five major-league appearances this season, Eaton has gone 1-for-8 (.125) with two walks, with Sunday's homer accounting for his lone hit.
