Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's 14-7 loss against the Red Sox.

Raleigh went back-to-back with Randy Arozarena in the sixth inning and extended a hitting streak to five games, which ties his longest this season. Raleigh launched his 23rd homer, which leads all MLB catchers in the current campaign. The 27-year-old has been hot in the month of July with nine home runs in 22 games. Raleigh has also racked up eight multi-hit games in July, the same amount he had in his previous 80 games this season.

Flexen did not factor into the decision in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Royals, allowing two runs on nine hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out two.

The Chicago right-hander collected his seventh quality start of the season and was in line for a win after the White Sox broke a tie in the bottom of the sixth, only to watch his bullpen blow the lead. After allowing 10 homers over his previous nine starts, Flexen kept the ball in the park in this 97-pitch performance, lowering his season ERA to 5.13 across 112.1 innings. He currently lines up to face the Twins in Minnesota for his next appearance this weekend.

Gilbert (6-7) took the loss Monday against the Red Sox, allowing seven runs on seven hits over 2.2 innings. He struck out four.

Gilbert got through the first two innings clean and then proceeded to allow all seven of his runs with two outs in the third before being pulled. The 2.2 innings is his shortest start of the season and his shortest since 2021. The seven runs allowed are his second most this season, he also allowed four extra-base hits, which is tied for his most in any start in 2024. This can be chalked up to a bad night for the 27-year-old, as he entered Monday with a 1.85 ERA in his previous seven starts.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Monday's 6-3 win versus St. Louis.

The Texas first baseman extended the lead to 6-2 in the seventh inning when he crushed a 407-foot, two-run homer off reliever Chris Roycroft. It marks Lowe's fifth long ball of July, as he has enjoyed a stellar month so far, hitting .291 (23-for-79) with 16 RBI, 11 runs scored and 23 walks. Overall, the 29-year-old is now slashing .272/.366/.403 across 347 plate appearances this season.

Yates earned the save in Monday's 6-3 victory over the Cardinals, pitching a clean inning with one strikeout.

The veteran reliever faced the 5-6-7 hitters in the Cardinals lineup, retiring them in order on 19 pitches to secure his 81st career save. Yates has been especially stingy in July so far, firing a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB across 10 innings. The Texas All-Star has enjoyed a renaissance season, now sporting a 1.17 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 53:18 K:BB over 38.1 innings while going a perfect 19-for-19 in save chances.

Eovaldi (8-4) picked up the win Monday in St. Louis, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out two.

The grizzled veteran collected his 10th quality start of the season in this 82-pitch outing. Despite generating 11 whiffs, Eovaldi managed just two punchouts, equaling a season low reached twice previously. The 34-year-old closes out a stellar month of July over which he didn't walk a batter across 39 innings, pitching to a 3.23 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with 32 strikeouts. Eovaldi is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Red Sox at home this weekend.

Woods Richardson (3-2) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out two.

The Minnesota right-hander struggled mightily in his first career appearance at Citi Field, allowing six earned runs and 10 baserunners, both marks setting season worsts. Things unraveled for Woods Richardson in the fourth when he yielded a leadoff 409-foot solo shot to Pete Alonso. The Twins starter wound up allowing four more runs while retiring just one in the inning before being relieved. Woods Richardson looks to bounce back in his next outing, currently slated to be against the White Sox at home this weekend.

Arozarena exited Monday's 14-7 loss to the Red Sox in the bottom of the seventh inning, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Arozarena collided with the wall in foul territory and was removed from the game out of precaution according to manager Scott Servais, who expects the outfielder to be ready to go Tuesday versus Boston. The outfielder went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored in the contest prior to exiting.

Sammons allowed five runs on four hits across 7.1 innings of relief in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Guardians. He walked one and struck out five.

With Jack Flaherty scratched from his Monday start as the Tigers look to trade him before Tuesday's deadline, the team turned to Beau Brieske as the opener instead, with Sammons used in a bulk role. The 29-year-old found some success in his MLB debut, though he was ultimately done in by three home runs, including a three-run shot by Bo Naylor. While it's a nice moment for Sammons, he's unlikely to have much fantasy impact as an unheralded rookie in Detroit's bullpen.

Perez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-4 loss against the Guardians.

Perez entered as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and then took Hunter Gaddis deep in the ninth for his eighth homer of the year. Perez was initially given the day off, but he continues to be a tough bat to keep off the field for the Tigers. The 24-year-old is hitting .249/.302/.399 with 29 RBI and nine stolen bases through 88 games in his rookie campaign.
