McLain went 1-for-2 with an RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Twins.

McLain has been a pretty big disappointment with a .619 OPS this season, but he's slowly beginning to find a rhythm recently. The 25-year-old second baseman is slashing .293/.396/.463 with two home runs, two doubles and eight RBI over his last 48 plate appearances (13 games). McLain lost all of last season due to injury and has consistently hit ninth for over a month, but perhaps manager Terry Francona will consider moving the middle infielder back up the order if he continues to swing a hot bat.

Steer went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Twins.

Steer walloped his sixth homer of the season and recorded his second game with multiple extra-base hits in 2025. The 27-year-old utility man had a sluggish start to his season while dealing with a shoulder injury, posting a .549 OPS through May 10, but he's settled in at the plate nicely over the past month-plus. Across his last 33 games, Steer is hitting .272 with three homers, seven doubles and 13 RBI.

Lodolo (5-5) notched the win Wednesday against the Twins, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out four.

After matching a season high with six earned runs allowed his last time out, Lodolo rebounded with his ninth quality start of the year. The southpaw whiffed 12 on the evening, and there's a chance he would've come out for the seventh inning had Wednesday's contest not been called in the sixth frame due to a second rain delay. Lodolo sports a 3.71 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 74:18 K:BB across 85 innings in 2025, but he's in for a tough matchup versus the Yankees in his next scheduled outing.

Ramos went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Guardians on Wednesday.

Ramos cut a four-run Giants deficit in half with a two-run blast in the fifth inning, but that was the only time San Francisco was able to score in the game. The talented 25-year-old's long ball snapped a 12-game homerless stretch and marked his 12th home run this season. Ramos is just 1-for-13 at the plate over his past four contests, but he's been solid overall this season, posting an .831 OPS through 315 plate appearances.

Verlander (0-4) took the loss against Cleveland on Wednesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 4.2 innings.

Verlander was activated Wednesday after spending nearly a month on the IL due to a pectoral injury. The veteran's return outing was a bit of a mixed bag; he notched a healthy 12 whiffs and six punchouts over 4.2 frames but was also touched up for seven hits, the most harmful of which was a three-run homer by Daniel Schneemann in the fourth inning. Verlander came close to a full workload with 83 pitches (56 of which were strikes), so the most positive takeaway from this outing is that the pec issue appears to be in the rearview mirror. After 11 starts, Verlander is still searching for his first win as a Giant, and his next opportunity for that is projected to be a favorable home matchup against Miami.

Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Nationals.

Toglia has started three straight games since being recalled by Colorado on Monday and has showcased the power that was missing earlier in the season. He homered in a second consecutive contest Wednesday with a solo blast in the sixth inning and has three total since his promotion. While that production is encouraging, he has struck out once in every contest and has a 38.2 percent overall strikeout rate across 220 plate appearances for the season.

Beck went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Nationals.

Beck went yard for the first time since May 17, a total of 27 games. He hit for a decent .255 average in that span, though he had only eight extra-base hits with six RBI and eight runs scored. Beck is still locked in as the primary left fielder for Colorado, but he has been out of the lineup six times in the last 17 contests.

Parker (4-8) took the loss Wednesday against the Rockies, allowing one run on six hits over six innings. He struck out eight.

While the Nats failed to provide enough run support in an eventual 3-1 defeat, it was an impressive outing from Parker, who set a season high in strikeouts while allowing just one run on Michael Toglia's sixth-inning solo homer. It's an encouraging bounce-back effort from Parker, who gave up six runs in only 3.1 innings against the Marlins his last time out. Overall, the left-hander sports a 4.59 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP and 58:31 K:BB across 15 starts (80.1 innings) this season.

Halvorsen picked up the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Nationals, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Halvorsen has converted the Rockies' last two save opportunities. He's turned in four consecutive scoreless innings, striking out five while allowing just one hit in that span. Overall, the right-hander has logged five saves while posting a 4.25 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB across 29.2 innings this season. The demotion of Zach Agnos last weekend should leave Halvorsen as Colorado's top option for saves, though Tyler Kinley could also be in the mix.

Marquez (3-8) earned the win Wednesday over the Nationals, allowing six hits and two walks over 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two.

It was a strong effort from Marquez, who's allowed just one run over 10.2 innings in his last two starts. The right-hander's lowered his ERA to 6.11 with a 1.64 WHIP and 50:24 K:BB across 15 outings (73.2 innings) this season. Marquez is currently in line for a tough home matchup with the Dodgers in his next start.
