  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: Produces clutch RBI in win Sunday

    Iglesias went 1-for-2 with three RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win against the Royals.

    Iglesias didn't start but got an opportunity to impact the game upon entering as a pinch hitter for Jake Cronenworth in the seventh inning. Iglesias came through with a two-run single in that frame to tie the score, then notched a walk-off fielder's choice in the ninth. Iglesias endured an 0-for-17 stretch at the plate earlier this month but has one hit in each of his past three games, going 3-for-7 with four RBI during the latter span.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Three hits, steal in win

    Durbin went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 9-8 win over Minnesota.

    The stolen base was Durbin's first since May 30, though he's been productive at the plate recently, going 11-for-32 (.344) with an .854 OPS in his last nine contests. The rookie third baseman is slashing .228/.318/.332 with three homers, 25 RBI, 25 runs scored and six steals across his first 213 plate appearances.

  • Tyler Rogers RP | TOR

    Giants' Tyler Rogers: Earns hold Sunday

    Rogers picked up a hold in a scoreless inning during Sunday's 9-5 win over the Red Sox, allowing two hits while striking out one.

    The 34-year-old surrendered a pair of singles, though Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran was thrown out trying to stretch the first one into a double. Rogers was effective while earning his second hold in as many days, throwing 10 of his 12 pitches for strikes. The right-hander now owns a 1.24 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and a 31:4 K:BB across 36.1 innings in 38 appearances this season.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Won't be given red light on bases

    Young went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a caught stealing in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

    He's reclaimed the full-time job in center field, starting seven straight games while batting .286 (6-for-21), but Young is having major issues on the basepaths. He beat the throw but overslid second base and got tagged out by Mookie Betts on Sunday, and his last successful steal attempt came back on May 6 -- he's 0-for-5 over his 23 games, and on the season Young's gone a brutal 5-for-13. It's a huge blow to the fantasy value of a player that went 33-for-43 on SB attempts in 2024, but Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports that manager Dave Martinez still has confidence in Young's ability to contribute with his legs. "I want him to steal in that spot, down a run," the manager said after the game. "But I also want him to stay on the base. He had the base stolen easy. He just overslid." Young's defense should keep him in the lineup regardless, but given his lack of power and regular spot at the bottom of the order, he offers little to fantasy rosters if he isn't racking up steals.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Sheds splint, starts swinging

    Chapman (hand) said Sunday that he's no longer wearing a splint and has resumed one-handed swinging in the batting cage, MLB.com reports.

    Chapman was placed on the 10-day injured list June 10 due to a right hand sprain, but he was cleared to resume baseball activities last week and ditched his splint Friday. Though Chapman is limited to taking one-handed swings for now, he could be ready to start taking full swings beginning Tuesday, per Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. The third baseman remains unlikely to return before the end of June, though he's hopeful he'll return before the All-Star break, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Casey Schmitt is expected to continue handling an everyday role at the hot corner until Chapman is activated.

  • Kyle Stowers LF | MIA

    Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Ends power drought

    Stowers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

    The 27-year-old took Bryce Elder deep in the second inning to get the Marlins on the board. It was Stowers' 11th long ball of the season but his first since May 14, snapping a 31-game drought in which he's slashed a meager .228/.291/.297 with only five RBI. Stowers is showing signs of coming out of the slump even apart from the home run, however -- over his last 10 contests, he's gone 7-for-27 (.259) with three extra-base hits and a 5:6 BB:K.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: On base four times Sunday

    Edwards went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

    The 25-year-old infielder continues to pile up hits in June. Edwards is slashing .357/.430/.414 through 18 contests on the month, and while a lack of power still limits his fantasy ceiling -- he has yet to hit a homer in 2025 -- he's supplied three steals, five RBI and 10 runs during that span as the Marlins' leadoff hitter.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Crosses plate twice in loss

    Acuna went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Marlins.

    The 27-year-old continues to make up for lost time, after his season debut was delayed for two months while he completed his recovery from knee surgery. Acuna's hit safely in 16 of 19 June contests, slashing .409/.530/.682 during that span with five homers, two steals, nine RBI and 23 runs.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Launches three-run homer

    Turang went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Twins.

    Turang launched a 412-foot blast off David Festa in the fifth inning, his fifth of the year, that would prove to be a difference maker in Milwaukee's eventual one-run victory. Turang's now hit safely in seven straight games, going 11-for-29 (.379) with a .992 OPS in that span. Overall, he's slashing .274/.352/.367 with 50 runs scored, 30 RBI and 16 stolen bases through 322 plate appearances this season.

  • Matt McLain 2B | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Slugs homer as No. 2 hitter

    McLain went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over St. Louis.

    McLain gave the Reds an early lead when he belted a first-inning home run, which extended his hit streak to 10 games. A season-opening slump prompted manager Terry Francona to drop McLain to eighth or ninth in the order over the last several weeks, but he moved into the No. 2 spot Sunday for just the second time since mid-May. In his last 15 games, McLain has posted a .340/.421/.560 line with three home runs and eight RBI, and his continued surge at the plate could result in him settling into the two hole on a more consistent basis.
