Friedl went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI single and two runs scored during Thursday's 12-5 loss to the Twins.

Friedl's hot stretch at the plate continued Thursday, notching at least one hit for the eighth time in his last nine games. The outing marked his seventh appearance with at least three hits. Since the start of June, Friedl has gone15-for-59 (.254) with four home runs, 13 runs scored, 10 RBI and a 10:10 BB:K. He's closing in on what could be his first All Star Game appearance. Among all qualified outfielders, Friedl ranks fourth in average (.294), fourth in on-base percentage (.384), fifth in hits (80), seventh in runs (47) and 10th in OPS (.829).

Dollander didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Washington, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

Dollander snared a second consecutive quality start Thursday, displaying excellent command despite having walked multiple batters in nine of his previous 10 starts. It was a revenge game for the 23-year-old rookie, who gave up nine runs (six earned) in an appearance against the Nationals back in April. In 56.2 innings, Dollander owns a 6.19 ERA and 48:25 K:BB this year. He's on track to face the Dodgers for his next start.

Halvorsen (1-2) blew the save and took the loss in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to Washington, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit over two-thirds of an inning.

Halvorsen broke a streak of four consecutive scoreless appearances, surrendering a walk-off, two-run homer to James Wood in the bottom of the 11th frame. The outing marked his third blown save of the campaign. In 30.1 innings this season, Halvorsen has a 4.45 ERA and 28:14 K:BB with five saves.

Williams didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Colorado, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Williams allowed his most hits in a start since May 3, but he did an excellent job preventing runs and notched a third consecutive appearance giving up fewer than three earned runs. The 33-year-old hasn't completed six innings in six of his last seven outings, and he has a 5.13 ERA and a 24:6 K:BB in 33.1 innings during that stretch. On the year, Williams has a 5.54 ERA across 74.2 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Padres next time out.

Wood went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run home runs during Thursday's 4-3 win over Colorado in 11 innings.

Wood was the lone source of offense for the Nationals Thursday, tagging Chase Dollander for a two-run homer in the fourth frame and delivering a walk-off blast in the 11th off Seth Halvorsen. The 22-year-old outfielder is in the midst of a breakout campaign, having slugged 20 homers and slashing .284/.380/.564 in 329 plate appearances this season. Wood is one of eight players in baseball to reach the 20-homer milestone, and he's launched four round trippers in his last seven outings.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Brewers.

Swanson reached base three times, highlighted by a 406-foot homer in the fourth inning. The shortstop has now gone deep three times over his past 10 games, a stretch that's included four multi-hit efforts, five RBI and four runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .244/.294/.435 with 14 home runs, 39 RBI, 42 runs scored and seven steals across 310 plate appearances.

Gonsolin (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Gonsolin was placed on the injured list June 7 due to right elbow soreness. Imaging showed that his UCL was intact, but he'll nevertheless now be sidelined until at least early August. The move made room for Jack Little on the 40-man roster.

Marte went 3-for-5 with an RBI double and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-5 win over the Blue Jays.

Marte registered his second three-hit game of the season Thursday while extending the Diamondbacks' lead to seven runs in the sixth with an RBI double. Marte has been hot at the plate in June, slashing .317/.431/.533 with 15 runs scored, four home runs and 11 RBI in 72 plate appearances this month.

Suarez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a two-run double in Thursday's 9-5 win over Toronto.

Suarez put the Diamondbacks on the board in the second inning with a two-run homer off Kevin Gausman before extending the Snakes' lead in the third with a two-run double. Thursday marked Suarez's sixth multi-RBI game of the month, and his 62 RBI this season is second most in the majors behind Pete Alonso (63).

Sheehan was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

This move comes as a surprise given Sheehan was sharp in his 2025 debut with the Dodgers on Wednesday, when he allowed only one earned run across four innings while striking out six. However, with Los Angeles' pitching staff overwhelmed by injuries, the team selected the contract of Jack Little to serve as bullpen depth. The team's plans for Sheehan are unclear, but he'll need to spend at least 15 days with Oklahoma City before being recalled, unless the corresponding transaction is injury related.
