Max Kepler LF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Max Kepler: Delivers walk-off hit
Kepler went 2-for-5 with an RBI double in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning win over St. Louis.
Kepler came through in the 10th inning with a game-winning double to the warning track to complete Arizona's comeback from a 7-0 deficit. Sunday's performance marked the outfielder's third multi-hit effort since making his season debut June 26. The results have been lackluster thus far for the 33-year-old, who's slashing .213/.235/.340 with four extra-base hits (one homer), nine RBI and four runs scored across 15 contests.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Clubs key homer in win
Arenado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals.
Arenado's lone hit was a big one, as his two-run homer in the eighth inning tied the game at 7-7. The 35-year-old has put together a productive July, slashing .250/.321/.563 with four homers, 10 RBI and nine runs scored across 13 contests. Overall, Arenado is hitting .244/.318/.422 with 13 homers, 44 RBI and 46 runs scored across 93 games in his first season with the Diamondbacks.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Hits inside-the-park homer Sunday
Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals.
Perdomo's lone hit was a memorable one, as his line drive to left field in the seventh inning was misplayed by Jose Fermin and resulted in an inside-the-park homer. It's been a fairly pedestrian July for Perdomo, who's hitting just .204 with two homers, five RBI, 10 runs and three stolen bases across 13 games. The shortstop has taken a step back from his breakout 2025 campaign, slashing .238/.355/.358 with seven homers, 36 RBI, 48 runs and 15 stolen bases across 95 contests in 2026.

Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Trio of hits in loss
Burleson went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's extra-inning loss to Arizona.
Burleson recorded three hits, highlighted by a two-RBI single in the third inning. The first baseman is slashing .283/.317/.433 with two homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs and a stolen base through 16 games in July. Overall, he's hitting .280/.342/.468 with 15 homers, 69 RBI, 53 runs and three stolen bases across 97 contests.

Billy Cook CF | PIT
Pirates' Billy Cook: Takes advantage of rare start
Cook went 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Guardians.
Cook was in the lineup for only the fourth time since returning to the majors on June 10, and he took advantage of the opportunity. He played a key role in the Pirates' early offensive production, recording an RBI or a run scored in three of the first six innings. While it was a nice showing, Cook isn't a viable fantasy option due to his lack of playing time.

Blaze Jordan 3B | STL
Cardinals' Blaze Jordan: Drives in three runs Sunday
Jordan went 3-for-5 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.
Jordan opened the scoring with an RBI triple in the third inning before adding a two-run single in the fifth frame. Sunday's performance marked the rookie's second three-hit effort of the season, with his first coming July 3 against the Cubs. He was deployed as the everyday third baseman upon being promoted June 12 but has ceded playing time to Jose Fermin at the hot corner recently. In 88 plate appearances, Jordan is slashing .259/.273/.395 with seven extra-base hits (one homer), 17 RBI and nine runs scored.

Willi Castro 2B | COL
Rockies' Willi Castro: Tallies ninth homer
Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Reds.
Castro led off the ninth inning with a long ball, his ninth home run of the season. He's hitting only .205 since the start of July, though he has managed three home runs with seven RBI and five runs scored across 13 games in that span. After a slow start to the season, Castro has quietly turned things around, as he's hitting .263 with 42 runs and 40 RBI across 85 contests.

Andre Pallante SP | STL
Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Fades late in no-decision
Pallante did not factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out three.
Pallante fired five scoreless frames before running into trouble in the sixth inning, allowing two runs before being pulled, while reliever Ryne Stanek allowed an inherited runner to score. Over his past five starts, Pallante has posted a 4.71 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB across 28.2 innings. Overall, the right-hander owns a 10-6 record with a 4.02 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 75:31 K:BB through 105.1 innings (19 starts) and is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Friday against the Reds.

Nate Lowe 1B | CLE
Reds' Nathaniel Lowe: Launches 11th homer
Lowe went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Rockies.
Lowe wasted no time getting Cincinnati on the board, crushing a three-run homer off Ryan Feltner in his first plate appearance as part of a five-run opening inning. The blast was his 11th of the season, and after enduring a 28-game home run drought, he has now gone deep twice over his last three contests. Across 72 games this season, Lowe is slashing .249/.333/.473 with 11 home runs, 13 doubles, 30 RBI and 22 runs scored.

William Contreras C | MIL
Brewers' William Contreras: Delivers walk-off homer
Contreras went 1-for-2 with a three-run walk-off home run in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Marlins
Contreras entered the game as a pinch hitter for Jake Bauers in the seventh inning and struck out in his first trip to the plate. He got another chance in the ninth with two runners aboard and one out, trailing by a run, and made the most of it by launching a three-run walk-off homer off Pete Fairbanks. The blast was his 10th of the season. Contreras closed the first half in a 2-for-22 slump, so Sunday's heroics could provide some momentum as he looks to regain his rhythm at the plate.
