  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Logs two hits in loss

    Adames went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a walk during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

    Adames drew a walk in the third inning before coming around to score. The shortstop also tallied a pair of singles in the matchup, marking his second multi-hit game since sitting out June 8 against Atlanta. Over seven games since that absence, Adames is slashing .321/.364/.679 with seven runs scored, six RBI, three home runs and a double across 33 plate appearances.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Multi-hit effort in team debut

    Devers went 2-for-5 with an RBI double during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

    Devers made his Giants debut after being acquired from Boston on Sunday. The 28-year-old lined a double to right field in the third inning, giving San Francisco a 2-1 lead. He later added a single to left field in the ninth, marking his second straight multi-hit game. While he started at designated hitter Tuesday, Devers is expected to see time at first base, per Angelina Martin of NBC Sports Bay Area -- a position he declined to take reps at earlier this season with the Red Sox.

  • Billy Cook CF | PIT

    Pirates' Billy Cook: Poised for promotion

    The Pirates will recall Cook from Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Wednesday's contest in Detroit, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    He will be the roster replacement for Bryan Reynolds, who is headed to the paternity list. Cook hasn't found his power stroke this season at Indianapolis with zero home runs, but he's slashing .458/.536/.542 in June. The 26-year-old could be on the roster for only a few days while Reynolds is away.

  • Ivan Herrera DH | STL

    Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Drives in four runs

    Herrera went 2-for-5 with four RBI in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

    Herrera collected a pair of two-RBI singles, and his night could have been even bigger if not for Michael Taylor robbing him of a home run to lead off the top of the fifth inning. The 25-year-old has now driven in 36 runs in just 41 games for the Cardinals this season. With Brendan Donovan moving up to the leadoff spot, Herrera appears to be cementing himself as St. Louis' new No. 3 hitter against right-handed pitching.

  • Sam Hilliard LF | COL

    Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Splitting time in left field

    Hilliard went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Nationals.

    Hilliard remains a part-time player, but he has started in left field in three of the Rockies' last six games. He launched his first home run Tuesday since May 30, though he does have a total of six extra-base hits across 39 plate appearances with Colorado.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Set to piggyback Sheehan

    Wrobleski is expected to pitch multiple innings in relief Wednesday against the Padres behind starter Emmet Sheehan (elbow), Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

    Sheehan will return from the 60-day injured list to make his 2025 Dodgers debut Wednesday, but because he maxed out at 3.1 innings and 63 pitches over his four-start rehab assignment coming off his May 2024 Tommy John surgery, he'll have his workload monitored carefully. With Sheehan unlikely to cover the five innings he would need to qualify for a win, Wrobleski may be the Dodgers pitcher most likely to factor into any decision Wednesday. Wrobleski will be available on four days' rest and should be capable of working as long as the Dodgers need him to after he allowed one earned run and struck out five over 4.1 innings of bulk relief in his most recent appearance for the big club.

  • Nolan Hoffman RP | PHI

    Phillies' Nolan Hoffman: Acquired by Phillies

    The Phillies acquired Hoffman from the Rangers on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations. Philadelphia selected Hoffman's contract and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Hoffman has been at Triple-A Round Rock all season, collecting a 5.91 ERA and 46:21 K:BB over 35 innings. The 27-year-old has not made an appearance in the big leagues, but he'll now get a spot on Philadelphia's 40-man roster and could have a clearer path to making his MLB debut later on this season.

  • Mickey Moniak LF | COL

    Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Getting consistent playing time

    Moniak went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Nationals.

    Moniak has now started in five of Colorado's last six games and appears to have regained a foothold in the team's regular lineup against right-handed pitching. Tyler Freeman appeared to have supplanted Moniak in right field, but the Rockies have been using Freeman at designated hitter more frequently to keep both players' bats in the lineup. Over his last seven contests, Moniak has gone 7-for-21 with four home runs, one triple, one double and one stolen base.

  • Brady House 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Racks up big-league firsts

    House went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rockies.

    In his second career MLB game, House banged out his first career hit with a single in the sixth inning and then drove in his first run with another knock in the ninth. The 22-year-old has reached base four times in his first nine trips to the plate for the Nationals, and while he has yet to show any power, he homered 13 times in 65 games for Triple-A Rochester prior to his promotion.

  • Nate Lowe DH | CIN

    Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Belts homer No. 10

    Lowe went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rockies.

    The first baseman took Anthony Molina deep in the eighth inning as the Nationals tried to mount a late comeback from a 10-1 deficit. Lowe's up to 10 homers on the season, but Tuesday's effort was only his second multi-hit performance in June, a month in which he's slashing .231/.286/.385 in 15 games.
