Imanaga (7-3) earned the win Saturday, allowing five hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings against the Red Sox. He struck out five.

Imanaga carved up the Red Sox lineup Saturday, notching his fifth scoreless start of the season. The left-hander was stellar in his first MLB season in 2024, logging a 2.91 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 173.1 innings across 29 regular-season starts, and he's been even better so far in his sophomore campaign. Through 13 starts in 2025, he owns a 2.40 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 75 innings. Virtually the only thing that's slowed Imanaga down has been a strained left hamstring that sidelined him for much of May and June.

Moniak went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Twins.

Moniak didn't let the All-Star break slow him down. He's now 16-for-36 (.444) over 11 contests in July, with four of those being multi-hit efforts. He's also collected seven extra-base hits, eight RBI and two stolen bases this month, which has been enough for him to hold onto a fairly regular role in the lineup. Moniak plays all over the outfield and occasionally at designated hitter, though those opportunities could dry up if his hitting goes cold. He's put together a steady season so far with a .268/.318/.527 slash line, 13 home runs, 35 RBI, 34 runs scored, 11 doubles, six triples and five stolen bases across 258 plate appearances.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Twins.

McMahon's third-inning blast tied the game at 3-3. He's come out of the All-Star break hot, homering in consecutive games while driving in a total of four runs. The infielder entered the break with just one long ball over his previous 20 contests, so it remains to be seen if he can keep his power trending upward. For the season, he has a .214/.309/.392 slash line with 15 homers, 32 RBI, 39 runs scored and two stolen bases over 96 contests as the Rockies' starting third baseman.

Tovar went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Twins.

Tovar lost most of the first half of the season to hip and oblique injuries, which has made it tough for him to get in a rhythm. He's now 4-for-8 across two games after being activated off the injured list for the start of the second half. The shortstop is batting .272 with a .747 OPS, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases across 146 plate appearances this season and should settle into a starting role as long as he can stay healthy.

Goodman went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Twins.

Goodman got some time off around his All-Star Game appearance, but he should continue to see starting catcher duties moving forward. He's up to 18 homers on the year, including four over 10 contests in July despite hitting a modest .243 (9-for-37) this month. The 25-year-old is at a .282/.329/.528 slash line with 55 RBI, 48 runs scored, 18 doubles, four triples and one stolen bases through 86 games in a breakout campaign.

Ritter is expected to miss "a few days" of action after needing stitches to close a cut on his right middle finger during Saturday's contest versus Minnesota, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Ritter was hurt when a pitch hit his finger while he was laying down a sacrifice bunt in the sixth inning. The infielder had to leave the contest and received three stitches, but X-rays returned negative. It appears Ritter has avoided a serious injury, but he'll likely need to be held out of action for a few days. Orlando Arcia replaced him in the field Saturday and could get a few starts at second base while Ritter is out.

Senzatela (4-13) allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over seven innings to earn the win over the Twins on Saturday.

Senzatela had his longest outing of the season and just his second quality start all year, ending a three-game losing streak in the process. During that streak, he allowed 12 runs, including four home runs, over 15 innings. Senzatela wasn't exactly dominant Saturday, but he was efficient, needing just 78 pitches (52 strikes) to get through his seven frames. Overall, he's at a 6.41 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 52:34 K:BB through 98.1 innings over 20 appearances (19 starts) this season. He's lined up for a road start in Baltimore for his next outing.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a home run, a walk and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Yankees.

Harris made an impact at the plate Saturday, launching his first home run since June 13 and drawing his first walk since May 18. The 2022 National League Rookie of the Year has endured a brutal 2025 campaign, slashing .211/.236/.324 with 23 extra-base hits, 46 RBI and 12 stolen bases over 95 games. While his defense remains elite, Harris entered the game with a 48 wRC+ -- the second lowest in the league -- making him a liability for Atlanta this season.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

Lowe extended the Nationals' lead to 4-2 with a 402-foot blast in the sixth inning. The first baseman has three hits in two games since returning from the All-Star break, and he's homered twice with eight RBI and nine runs scored through 14 contests in July. For the season, he's slashing .231/.296/.401 with 15 home runs, 62 RBI, 45 runs scored and one stolen base across 408 plate appearances.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a home run, five RBI, one run scored, one walk and one stolen base in Saturday's 12-9 loss to the Yankees.

Albies launched his ninth home run of the season and racked up five RBI in Saturday's loss, though a bullpen meltdown spoiled the victory. The switch hitter has struggled throughout 2025, entering the game with a .614 OPS, 21 extra-base hits, 33 RBI and seven stolen bases across 96 games. He's come out of the All-Star break hot, however, with two homers and nine RBI through the first two games of the second half.
