    Padres' Jason Adam: Registers 20th hold Sunday

    Adam earned a hold against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.

    Adam was summoned from the bullpen with San Diego nursing a two-run lead in the seventh inning and got the job done, working around a two-out single to record a scoreless frame. The right-hander was credited with his 20th hold of the season -- third-most in the majors behind Abner Uribe (25) and Bryan Abreu (22). Adam was named to his first All-Star Game on Sunday as a reward for a dominant campaign during which he's posted a 1.61 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 52:19 K:BB over 44.2 innings spanning 44 appearances.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Multi-hit effort in victory

    Devers went 2-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

    Devers singled in the fifth inning before coming around to score. He added another single in the sixth, marking his first multi-hit performance since June 26. The 28-year-old has now tallied at least one hit in six consecutive games, slashing .333/.444/.476 with four RBI, three runs scored, three doubles and a 4:6 BB:K across 27 plate appearances during that span.

  • Luis Matos RF | MIL

    Giants' Luis Matos: Drives in two on Sunday

    Matos went 1-for-5 with a two-RBI double in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

    Matos cracked a ground-rule double to right-center field in the fifth inning, driving in two runs and giving the club a 5-1 lead. The 23-year-old outfielder has now recorded three doubles in his last four games. Since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, Matos is slashing .231/.286/.462 with three doubles, two RBI and one run scored across 14 plate appearances. He has started each of the two games against a lefty but has only started one of four games against righties since his most recent promotion.

  • Brady House 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: On base four times in loss

    House went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

    All three knocks were singles, but it was still an impressive performance from the rookie third baseman, who also avoided striking out in the contest, only the second time in his last 11 games he's done so. House is still looking for his first big-league homer as well as some consistency at the plate -- through his first 18 contests and 78 plate appearances for the Nationals, he's slashing .247/.282/.288 with three doubles, two steals, four runs, eight RBI and a 4:20 BB:K.

  • Dodgers' Julian Fernandez: Poised for promotion

    The Dodgers will call up Fernandez from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Monday's game in Milwaukee, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Fernandez has collected a 4.08 ERA and 32:10 K:BB over 28.2 inning this season with Oklahoma City. The 29-year-old's only big-league experience came back in 2021, when he permitted eight runs over 6.2 frames in six appearances for the Rockies. Fernandez is not on the Dodgers' 40-man roster, which is currently full, so the club will need to free a spot.

  • Jack Wenninger SP | NYM

    Mets' Jack Wenninger: Having breakout campaign

    Wenninger struck out a season-high 11 batters for Double-A Binghamton on Sunday, allowing one unearned run on two hits and two walks over six innings.

    In the process, the 23-year-old right-hander crossed the 100-K threshold on the season, becoming the sixth pitcher in the minors this season to reach triple digits in strikeouts. Wenninger, a sixth-round pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Illinois, has taken a big step forward this year in his first taste of Double-A, posting a 2.76 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 100:20 K:BB in 81.2 innings. Wenninger's best pitch is a nasty splitter, and he has a deep enough arsenal to profile as a rotation option once he's ready for the majors, even if he doesn't have the pure upside of other Mets prospects like Jonah Tong or Nolan McLean.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Breaks home run drought

    Toglia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Sunday against the White Sox.

    Toglia had gone 13 starts since homering, but he ended that drought Sunday with a two-run blast in the fifth inning. Despite the lack of power, he's in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 7-for-23. Since being recalled June 16, Toglia has 10 RBI and five runs scored across 18 contests while hitting .250.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Might take Fedde's spot in rotation

    The Cardinals are having "internal discussion" about McGreevy replacing Erick Fedde in the rotation and starting Saturday against Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Fedde has been pummeled for 17 runs over his last three starts and lasted only 1.1 frames in Sunday's loss to the Cubs. The team is expected to use its off day Monday to decide whether to let Fedde take his next turn Saturday or give that opportunity to McGreevy instead. McGreevy also started Sunday at Triple-A Memphis, so he is on the same schedule as Fedde, though he was torched for eight runs over three innings in Sunday's outing. In three starts and one relief appearance with the Cardinals in 2025, McGreevy holds a 4.22 ERA and 16:3 K:BB over 21.1 innings.

  • Erick Fedde SP | CHW

    Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Next start undetermined

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was noncommittal when asked Sunday whether Fedde would make his next start, which is tentatively set for Saturday versus Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "I think we have to use [Monday] as a day we take a step back and figure out what that looks like," Marmol said, regarding his plans for the rotation.

    Fedde was charged with three earned runs on two hits and four walks while recording only four outs in Sunday's loss to the Cubs. He's been clobbered for 17 earned runs with a 2:9 K:BB over 10 innings covering his last three starts. Michael McGreevy started Sunday at Triple-A Memphis and would likely be the replacement in the rotation for Fedde if the Cardinals decide to make a change.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Spoils shutout Sunday

    Murphy went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Orioles.

    The backstop was the only Atlanta hitter to have much success against Trevor Rogers and the Baltimore bullpen, accounting for his team's only extra-base hits and its only run with his ninth-inning shot off Seranthony Dominguez. Murphy has gone yard four times in his last seven games, batting .318 (7-for-22) over that impressive span with two doubles and nine RBI. As a result, the playing-time split between him and rookie Drake Baldwin may be tipping Murphy's way heading toward the All-Star break.
