Springs (7-6) allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Tuesday.

Springs continued a strong stretch -- over his last five starts, he's given up just nine runs (seven earned). He's not overwhelming hitters with strikeouts, and he continues to be prone to the long ball -- he's allowed five homers in that five-start span, including a solo shot to Eli White in Tuesday's outing. For the season, Springs has a 3.92 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 81:38 K:BB with 17 homers allowed over 103.1 innings across 19 appearances (17 starts). He is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the surging Blue Jays over the weekend.

Kim went 1-for-4 on Tuesday against the Tigers.

Kim made his season debut Friday but was out for the rest of the Rays' weekend series due to a calf issue. He returned Tuesday, playing shortstop and hitting fifth. Kim's lone hit was a single to lead off the second inning, but most importantly, he came out of the game healthy.

Burger went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 13-1 victory over the Angels.

Burger amassed a season-high four RBI, recording at least three hits for the fifth time this season as well. The 29-year-old corner infielder has been quite a big disappointment overall -- his .673 OPS in 2025 would be a career low if it sticks -- but he's at least fared a bit better at the plate after heading to the minor leagues earlier this year for a brief time. Across his last 41 contests, Burger is batting .258 (41-for-159) with eight homers, eight doubles, 21 RBI and 17 runs scored.

Langford went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 13-1 victory over the Angels.

Langford has been dropped from the second spot in the lineup since coming off the injured list, but it didn't take him long to respond by setting a season high in RBI on Tuesday. While it was certainly an encouraging performance, it's possible the speedy outfielder will need to string together some more positive showings before manager Bruce Bochy considers moving him back up the lineup given his recent struggles. Across his last 221 plate appearances, Langford is slashing a woeful .204/.285/.357 with eight home runs, six doubles, 23 RBI and seven stolen bases.

Keaschall (forearm) took batting practice and faced live pitching Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Keaschall will likely soon start playing rehab games. The 22-year-old was given a recovery timeline of two months or more after being diagnosed with a fractured right forearm in late April. He'll likely need a lengthy rehab assignment, so it looks like he could return in late July or early August at this point.

Wilson was diagnosed with a left hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch in the bottom of the first inning during Tuesday's 10-1 win over Atlanta, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

Wilson was pulled from Tuesday's contest immediately after getting plunked, but he seems to have escaped with little more than a bruise on his hand after X-rays returned negative. The 23-year-old shortstop should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, though the Athletics may still give him a day or two off to heal.

Altuve went 2-for-3 with four RBI, a double, a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 extra-inning loss to Cleveland.

Altuve has opened July with at least one hit in six of his first eight games, tallying multiple knocks in five of these outings. Although he had a .627 OPS as of May 19, the star second baseman has since returned to the form fantasy managers have grown accustomed to seeing over the years. Over his last 187 plate appearances, Altuve is slashing an outstanding .311/.374/.585 with 12 home runs, seven doubles, 36 RBI and three stolen bases.

Martinez went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Tuesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over Houston.

Martinez smacked his first career grand slam in the 10th frame en route to setting a career high in RBI. The switch-hitting center fielder extended his hitting streak to five games and should see a bump in playing time with Lane Thomas (foot) on the injured list, but it's still been a tough season for him at the plate overall. Through 264 plate appearances, Martinez is slashing .238/.264/.371 with six home runs, 13 doubles, 30 RBI and five stolen bases.

O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

It was O'Hearn's first multi-RBI effort since June 11, and he's now logged at least one hit in six of his last eight outings. The All-Star slugger has cooled off significantly following an excellent start to the season, during which he had a .986 OPS as of May 27, but he should remain locked into the strong side of a platoon at first base with Coby Mayo while Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) is on the shelf. Over his last 124 plate appearances (32 games), O'Hearn is slashing just .208/.306/.321 with two home runs, six doubles, 11 RBI and 14 runs scored.

Duran went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's victory against the Rockies.

Duran knocked an RBI single in the sixth inning before belting a solo shot in the seventh. It was his seventh long ball of the season but just the second over his last 23 games. Duran owns a .259/.315/.427 slash line with 40 extra-base hits and 47 RBI through 92 contests this season. He also has 15 stolen bases but has not swiped a bag since June 20.
