Taylor Trammell LF | HOU
Astros' Taylor Trammell: Collects trio of hits
Trammell went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a two-RBI double and an additional run scored during Sunday's 11-3 win over Seattle.
Trammell got off to a slow start with Houston this season, going 5-for-35 (.143) with 14 strikeouts before Sunday's outburst. The outfielder notched his second long ball of the campaign, tagging Bryan Woo for a solo shot in the sixth inning. While Trammell has never hit above .200 in an MLB season, his three-hit performance could be enough to spark a hot streak.

Hunter Brown SP | HOU
Astros' Hunter Brown: Lasts just four innings
Brown didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Mariners, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across four innings.
Brown didn't pitch into the fifth inning for the first time this season, continuing his recent stretch of poor play. In his last three starts, Brown has allowed 13 runs with an 18:7 K:BB across 15 innings. He had allowed 21 runs in his first 104 innings of the season. Overall, he has a 2.57 ERA and a 144:36 K:BB. He'll look to get back on track during his next start, which is slated to come against the Athletics.

Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Hit hard by Astros
Woo (8-5) took the loss Sunday against Houston, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk across six innings. He struck out six.
Woo's streak of excellent play came to a crashing halt Sunday, having tallied a 1.11 ERA across his last five starts before tying his season high in runs allowed. He yielded three extra-base hits in the loss, including home runs to Taylor Trammell and Christian Walker. Despite the hiccup, Woo owns a 2.91 ERA and a 115:22 K:BB across 120.2 innings pitched. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Angels next time out.

Garrett Crochet RP | BOS
Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Another W
Crochet (11-4) picked up the win Sunday against the Cubs, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five.
Crochet hasn't lost since May, having racked up seven wins in his last nine starts -- including four consecutive victories. While Sunday's start was excellent, he did snap a streak of nine consecutive outings with at least seven strikeouts. In 135.1 innings this season, Crochet owns a 2.19 ERA and 165:36 K:BB. He's on track to face the Dodgers his next time out.

Wilyer Abreu RF | BOS
Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Two homers in win
Abreu went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Sunday's 6-1 win over the Cubs.
All six of Boston's runs came in the seventh and eighth innings. Abreu led the charge, going yard in both frames. Sunday's performance marked Abreu's fourth multi-homer game of 2025 and brought his homer total to 20 in 310 plate appearances. The 25-year-old had one hit in his last 12 at-bats before the game. In 33 at-bats before that, Abreu hit .303 with five homers.

Masataka Yoshida DH | BOS
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Makes first outfield start
Yoshida started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Cubs.
Yoshida made his first start in the field after a series of appearances as the designated hitter or as a pinch hitter. He was eventually pinch hit for against lefty Drew Pomeranz. Yoshida has gone 6-for-22 (.273) with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored over seven games since coming off the injured list in the week leading up to the All-Star break.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Makes impact as pinch hitter
Bregman entered Sunday's game as a pinch hitter and hit a three-run home run in a 6-1 win over the Cubs.
The Red Sox are managing Bregman's return from a quadriceps injury and held him out of Sunday's starting lineup, but he had an impact off the bench. He helped the team emerge from an offensive slumber that saw the Red Sox score just one run through the first 24 innings of the series. Wilyer Abreu snapped a 21-inning scoreless skid with a two-run homer in the seventh inning, and then Bregman piled on one frame later. Bregman, who finished the game at third base, will start the first two games of the series against Philadelphia on Monday and Tuesday before getting a day off Wednesday.

Zach McKinstry 2B | DET
Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Reaches twice, steals base Sunday
McKinstry went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers. He also stole a base.
McKinstry plated the first run of the game with an RBI single in the top of the second inning. The utility player also swiped his 16th base of the season in 19 attempts. The 16 steals match a career best for McKinstry, who is nearing his career highs for home runs (nine) and RBI (35) in a season as well. The veteran has been a pleasant surprise, and his strong offensive play is keeping him in the lineup most days for Detroit.

Tyler Holton RP | DET
Tigers' Tyler Holton: Picks up fifth win Sunday
Holton (5-3) tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts to earn the win in Sunday's 2-1 victory over the Rangers.
Holton's appearance got off to an inauspicious start, as he uncorked a wild pitch that brought home an inherited runner from third and left Tarik Skubal with a no-decision. However, Holton settled down from there and continued his strong play as of late. Over his last 10 outings, the lefty has allowed just two runs across 14.2 innings while striking out 14. As was the case each of the last two years, Holton has emerged as a valuable bullpen weapon for the Tigers.

Taylor Ward DH | SEA
Angels' Taylor Ward: Drives in four in win
Ward went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and four RBI in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Phillies.
Ward drove in four runs on two doubles, highlighted by a bases-clearing gapper in the Angels' five-run second inning. The 24-year-old has come out hot following the All-Star break, tallying five extra-base hits and eight RBI over the weekend. For the season, he ranks fourth in the American League with 73 RBI while slashing .231/.304/.491 with 23 home runs, 55 runs scored and two steals across 421 plate appearances.
