Olson went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a double, a run scored and a walk in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Olson extended his on-base streak to 25 games in his big night at the plate, during which he racked up three RBI for the fourth time in June. Over his last 112 plate appearances, the star first baseman is slashing .304/.420/.522 with three home runs, 11 doubles and 23 RBI. Olson has also tallied at least one hit in 13 of his last 15 outings.

Peralta (8-4) yielded three runs on seven hits over five-plus innings Tuesday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Pirates.

Peralta rolled through five shutout frames before stumbling in the sixth inning. He gave up three straight hits without recording an out, capped off by Nick Gonzales' three-run shot, which ended his outing. Peralta has won three straight starts but has completed only five innings in each of his last two appearances. It was his first start without issuing a walk since April 2. The 29-year-old righty now owns a 2.90 ERA with a 98:34 K:BB through 93 frames. Peralta is lined up for a road matchup against the Mets next week.

Iglesias secured the save in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Mets, allowing one hit and recording the final two outs. He struck out one.

Enyel De Los Santos was unable to slam the door on the Mets, which prompted manager Brian Snitker to turn to Iglesias for his ninth save of the season. It was Iglesias' first save opportunity since he gave up three runs during his June 5 outing, and Tuesday was his first converted save since May 16. Pierce Johnson worked the sixth inning Tuesday, while Dylan Lee may not have been available after throwing 1.1 innings for a save Monday, but it was still an encouraging outing by Iglesias as he tries to reclaim the closer role -- he's posted six straight scoreless appearances with a 5:0 K:BB.

Tucker went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and two RBI in a loss to the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Tucker went 0-for-4 in Monday's contest but has been mostly locked in lately, and Tuesday was no exception. Over his last 10 games, the outfielder has gone 14-for-36 with six extra-base hits, five RBI and eight runs scored. This was the second three-hit effort for Tucker during his recent hot stretch, and he remains an elite fantasy option across all formats, especially when he's seeing the ball this well.

Vargas was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot.

Vargas took a pitch off his foot during the second inning of Tuesday's contest but remained in the game until the fourth. A trip to the injured list is likely in the 33-year-old's future, though there's currently no telling how long he'll be sidelined.

With Ben Brown getting optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Horton figures to stick in the Cubs' rotation when Shota Imanaga (hamstring) returns later this week.

With Imanaga's return imminent, Chicago has to make room in the rotation, and for now it seems like Horton will keep his spot. The Cubs could have gone with a six-man rotation or moved Colin Rea into a long-relief role. However, with Brown getting tagged for eight runs in his start Monday, the team decided he's the one to go for now, with Horton and Rea sticking as starters along with Matthew Boyd and Jameson Taillon. Horton has pitched well during his rookie campaign, compiling a 3.73 ERA across his first eight MLB appearances. He's penciled in to start Friday against the Astros on the road.

Meyer is scheduled to undergo season-ending labral repair surgery on his left hip Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The recovery timeline for Meyer's surgery is roughly 6-8 months, which means his season has officially come to an early end. He'll finish the 2025 campaign with a 4.73 ERA and 1.42 WHIP alongside a 68:20 K:BB earned across 64.2 innings (12 starts).

The Nationals recalled Millas from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

Millas has spent the entire season in Triple-A, where he's slashed .247/.306/.374 across 209 plate appearances. With Keibert Ruiz (head) headed to the injured list, Millas will join the big club to act as the backup catcher behind Riley Adams.

The Nationals placed Ruiz on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a head contusion.

A foul ball connected with Ruiz's head during Monday's contest, though after evaluation, it seems he managed to escape the incident with only a bruise. Riley Adams will take over as the Nationals' primary catcher while Ruiz is out, and Drew Millas will come up from Triple-A Rochester to provide depth behind the plate.

Harper (wrist) will go through his usual pre-game routine prior to Tuesday's game against the Astros, though he isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the series, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The routine includes about 50 swings, fielding grounders and going through a throwing program, and if all goes well, he could take batting practice Wednesday. Harper continues to progress in his recovery from right wrist inflammation, and he appears to be lining up to rejoin the Phillies this weekend or next week, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic, though there's officially no timeline for his return.
