Chase Dollander SP | COL
Rockies' Chase Dollander: Working on follow-up exam
Dollander (elbow) is trying to schedule a follow-up exam with Dr. Keith Meister, MLB.com reports.
Dollander has been sidelined since May 15 with a right elbow sprain, and he was originally scheduled to be shut down for 2-to-3 weeks. The report suggests that surgery still isn't a possibility, but instead that Dollander and the team want all of the information before moving forward with his recovery plan. Dollander looks likely to remain sidelined into the second half of the season.

Cole Carrigg CF | COL
Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Strokes triple in MLB debut
Carrigg went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk in Tuesday's 7-3 win against the Cubs.
Carrigg was called up from Triple-A on Tuesday and started in center field while batting seventh. The 24-year-old flashed his speed in his big-league debut when he legged out a triple on a ball he hit down the right-field line. Carrigg could earn himself an everyday role if he hits well immediately, especially given that outfielders Jordan Beck (hamstring), Mickey Moniak (ankle), Brenton Doyle (oblique) and Tyler Freeman (concussion) are all currently on the injured list.

Alec Burleson 1B | STL
Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Blasts ninth homer Tuesday
Burleson went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-0 win against the Mets.
Burleson did his damage in back-to-back plate appearances against Freddy Peralta -- a two-run homer in the fifth, followed by a seventh-inning RBI double. He has now hit safely in nine straight games, recording five multi-hit performances during that stretch. Burleson is batting .329 over his last 20 games, pushing his season line to .293/.360/.472 with nine homers, a team-leading 17 doubles, 46 RBI and 33 runs scored across 275 plate appearances.

Hunter Goodman C | COL
Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Continues power surge
Goodman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and two walks Tuesday in a 7-3 win against the Cubs.
Goodman got Colorado off to a good start with a two-run blast off Colin Rea in the first inning. The long ball was his seventh over his past 12 contests, a span in which the backstop is batting .256 with 14 RBI, 11 runs and two stolen bases. Goodman broke out with 31 homers over 144 contests last season, and he's on pace to easily exceed that mark this year with 18 home runs through 61 games. Goodman leads MLB catchers in long balls and ranks fourth among qualified backstops in OPS (.845)

Colin Rea SP | CHC
Cubs' Colin Rea: Surrenders seven runs Tuesday
Rea (5-4) took the loss against Colorado on Tuesday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings.
Rea fell behind quickly when he gave up a two-run home run to Hunter Goodman in the first inning. The Rockies got to him for three more runs in the second, with Ezequiel Tovar contributing a solo homer, and Chicago never got close after that. The seven earned runs Rea allowed were a season-worst mark, and the veteran hurler ended with more walks (three) than punchouts (two) while notching just five whiffs. His season ERA jumped up to an undesirable 5.19, which is accompanied by a 1.43 WHIP and 54:25 K:BB through 69.1 innings across 14 appearances (11 starts).

Freddy Peralta SP | NYM
Mets' Freddy Peralta: Tagged for six runs Tuesday
Peralta (4-5) took the loss Tuesday against St. Louis, surrendering six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five across six innings.
A disastrous third inning did Peralta in as five batters reached base, leading to a four-run frame that put St. Louis firmly in control. The right-hander compounded the damage in the fifth when Alec Burleson launched a two-run homer to extend the lead. The six runs allowed were a season high, but Peralta continued his streak of having surpassed 90 pitches in each of his last 13 starts. He now owns a 4.04 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 79:32 K:BB across 78 innings. Peralta is scheduled to make his next start at home against Atlanta.

Tomoyuki Sugano SP | COL
Rockies' Tomoyuki Sugano: Improves to 6-4
Sugano (6-4) earned the win over the Cubs on Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five-plus innings.
Sugano cruised through five frames, allowing just one run. He remained in the game to begin the sixth and gave up a homer to Michael Busch followed by an Alex Bregman single before getting pulled. Though Bregman eventually came around to score, Sugano got enough support to notch the victory. The right-hander has now yielded three or fewer runs in five straight starts, compiling a decent 4.10 ERA across 26.1 frames during that span. He's been a steady but unspectacular part of the Rockies' rotation, posting a 4.08 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 39:20 K:BB through 68.1 innings spanning 13 starts. Sugano's home park and low strikeout numbers greatly dampen his appeal in fantasy.

Dustin May SP | STL
Cardinals' Dustin May: Blanks Mets in stellar win
May (4-6) earned the win Tuesday against the Mets, tossing six scoreless innings on four hits and one walk while striking out six.
May was at his best Tuesday, working a season-high 101 pitches with 70 going for strikes and racking up an impressive 31 called and swinging strikes. It was the right-hander's first scoreless start of 2026, and he's now recorded a quality start in eight of his last 11 outings. May now owns a 4.21 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 66:20 K:BB through 72.2 innings and lines up for a home outing against San Diego next.

Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Smacks homer in Miami
Moreno went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run during Arizona's 10-6 loss to Miami on Tuesday.
Moreno reduced the Diamondbacks' deficit to 3-2 with a solo homer off Max Meyer in the fourth inning. Moreno has gone deep in back-to-back games and is up to five home runs on the season. He's slashing .257/.335/.429 with three steals and 22 RBI in 161 plate appearances.

Corbin Carroll RF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Goes deep again
Carroll went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during the Diamondbacks' 10-6 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.
Carroll opened Tuesday's scoring with a solo home run in the first and tied things up at 6-6 in the eighth when his groundball out brought Tommy Troy home. Carroll is up to 11 home runs on the season, four of which have come over his last seven games. He is slashing .283/.372/.558 with seven steals, 33 RBI and 42 runs over 269 plate appearances this season.
