Stowers went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run during the Marlins' 5-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

Stowers extended Miami's lead to 5-1 in the sixth inning with a solo long ball off Xzavion Curry. It continued Stowers' hot streak at the plate, with the 28-year-old outfielder up to 16 home runs on the season after logging four homers over his last six games. He'll end the month of July with a .812 OPS with seven home runs and 13 RBI over 98 plate appearances.

Mack went 2-for-4 with a run, a double and a two-run single during the Marlins' 5-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

Mack contributed to the Marlins' four-run fourth inning by smacking a single to left field that plated both Heriberto Hernandez and Jakob Marsee, before coming home on an RBI single from Xavier Edwards. It was the ninth multi-RBI game of the season for Mack, three of which have come since the All-Star break. He has a .723 OPS with 10 home runs and 32 RBI over 212 plate appearances this season.

Junk (5-6) earned the win against the Mets on Friday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and two walks while striking out four across five innings.

The lone run Junk gave up in the fifth inning was unearned due to a fielding error by Kyle Stowers, and it was the first time since April 28 against the Dodgers that Junk did not yield an earned run in a start. The right-hander is one win shy from matching his total from 2025 and sits at a 4.58 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 78.2 innings this season. Junk is lined up to face Atlanta on the road next week.

Fairbanks earned the save in Friday's 5-2 win over the Mets, striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.

Fairbanks opened the ninth inning with a four-pitch strikeout of Marcus Semien, and the endgamer needed just three more pitches to successfully close out Friday's game. Fairbanks has converted save chances in each of his last three outings and is up to 16 saves on the season, tied with Tanner Scott and Devin Williams for seventh most in the National League. It continues a trend in the right direction for Fairbanks, though he sports a 6.55 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 34.1 innings this season.

Elder (7-6) earned the win against the Nationals on Friday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts over six innings.

Elder allowed a solo homer in the fourth inning but otherwise kept the Nationals' potent lineup at bay despite throwing just 52 of 93 pitches for strikes with only six whiffs. After posting a bloated 8.10 ERA in June, the 27-year-old rebounded with a 3.00 mark and two quality starts over four July outings. He'll carry a 3.84 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 101:40 K:BB across 119.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Marlins next week.

Griffin (12-3) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Four of the six runs charged to Griffin came via the long ball, and he allowed 10 hard-hit balls overall. It ended a streak of 11 straight starts yielding three earned runs or fewer for the southpaw, who has now recorded just 18 punchouts over his past five outings. Griffin owns a 3.06 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 116:30 K:BB across 129.1 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Phillies next week, though he could potentially be traded with Monday's deadline approaching.

Leahy did not factor into the decision Friday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out three across six innings.

Leahy kept Toronto off the board through five innings, but any chance of logging his first win since July 4 was dashed after he gave up an RBI double to Kazuma Okamoto in the sixth inning to tie the game at 1-1. It was the third consecutive quality start for Leahy and his sixth of the season, and he has a 3.44 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 91:35 K:BB over 107.1 innings. His next start is lined up for next weekend at home against the Rockies.

Abrams went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.

Abrams reached base in his first four plate appearances, and his performance was highlighted by a solo shot in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old entered the night on a 1-for-14 skid over his previous four games, but he'll finish a stellar July with a 1.150 OPS and 10 long balls over 23 games. For the season, he's slashing .290/.367/.563 with 28 homers, 83 RBI, 69 runs scored and 19 steals across 458 plate appearances.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Nationals.

Olson opened the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning before coming around to score after a double in the sixth. The 32-year-old hit just .226 over 27 July contests but still managed nine homers in the month and matched his season homer total (29) from both 2024 and 2025 on Friday. On the year, he's slashing .263/.340/.529 with 29 long balls, 67 RBI, 75 runs scored and two steals across 483 plate appearances.

Harris went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Nationals.

Harris broke the game open with a 421-foot blast off Foster Griffin in the sixth inning, reaching the 20-homer mark for the second straight year. The 25-year-old entered the game on an 0-for-11 skid but will finish July with an .806 OPS, 14 extra-base hits and 21 RBI over 27 games. For the season, he's slashing .292/.321/.496 with 20 long balls, 64 RBI, 54 runs scored and six steals across 418 plate appearances.
