  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Dealing with hyperextended elbow

    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Stott suffered a hyperextended elbow on a swing during Monday's 5-2 win over the Marlins, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Thomson added that Stott could sit out Tuesday's contest, but the Phillies' second baseman doesn't appear to be dealing with a long-term injury concern. Stott went 1-for-4 with a double in Monday's contest and is slashing .236/.300/.329 with four home runs, 27 RBI, 31 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 271 plate appearances on the season.

  • Phillies' Rafael Marchan: Doubles, scores run in win

    Marchan went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Marlins.

    Marchan's playing time has been scarce in 2025 -- he's appeared in only 19 games -- but he's been effective lately when called upon to fill in for J.T. Realmuto as Philadelphia's backup catcher. Over his last 26 plate appearances (10 games), the switch-hitting backstop is slashing .261/.346/.478 with one home run, two doubles, three RBI and four runs scored. With Realmuto healthy, however, Marchan doesn't have a clear pathway to consistent at-bats.

  • Seth Halvorsen RP | LAD

    Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Works fifth save

    Halvorsen picked up the save, walking one batter in the process, during Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

    The Rockies closer worked his third straight scoreless outing Monday, allowing just one hit over that stretch, to earn his fourth save of the season. The 25-year-old hasn't gotten a ton of save opportunities, and he hasn't been too efficient with them either, blowing two of the six he's had. The right-hander has a 4.40 ERA on the season.

  • Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Gives up four runs

    Palmquist allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two in 4.2 innings during Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

    After a short trip to the minors, Palmquist came back and did not factor in the decision, departing in a one-run game. The 24-year-old has only made it through five innings once this season and has struggled when called upon, pitching to a 7.76 ERA in 26.2 innings over six appearances.

  • Mickey Moniak LF | COL

    Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Doubles up on extra-base hits

    Moniak went 2-for-4 with a triple and a two-run home run during Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

    Moniak delivered the fatal blow to the Nationals, launching a go-ahead, two-run home run in the ninth inning to give the Rockies the lead. The 27-year-old has now homered for the third time in his last six games, hitting .470 over that stretch with five RBI. He is now slashing .237/.289/.462 for the season.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Launches two homers

    Goodman went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

    Goodman's great month of June continued after his second multi-homer game of the season. The 25-year-old has five doubles, two triples, five homers and 13 RBI while batting .364 this month. The catcher's .846 OPS is third-best in MLB among catchers.

  • Kyle Finnegan RP | DET

    Nationals' Kyle Finnegan: Blows second save in a row

    Finnegan was saddled with a blown save after allowing three runs on three hits, walking and striking out none, during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies.

    It was perhaps the worst outing of the season for Finnegan, allowing a season-high three runs and three hits. The 33-year-old has flirted with danger lately, allowing seven hits in his last five games, but this was the first time that he allowed a run credited to him over that stretch. The right-hander is now 18-for-23 on save opportunities for the season.

  • Daylen Lile LF | WAS

    Nationals' Daylen Lile: Homers in big-league return

    Lile went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies.

    The first stint in the big leagues didn't go too well for Lile, hitting just .194 over 11 games, but his second one is off to a much better start. The 22-year-old clubbed the first home run of his season and his career Monday. It's a good start for the young outfielder in his bid to earn more playing time as he, Jacob Young and Alex Call jockey for playing time in center and right field.

  • James Wood RF | WAS

    Nationals' James Wood: Lauches homer in loss

    Wood went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a double in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies.

    The young Nationals outfielder has enjoyed a great season so far, slashing .284/.378/.550 after a multi-hit, multi-RBI game. The last week has gone especially well for the 22-year-old as he is 11-for-27 (.407 batting average) with two home runs, two doubles and six RBI over the last seven games.

  • Taijuan Walker SP | LAA

    Phillies' Taijuan Walker: Filling middle-relief role

    Walker threw a clean sixth inning, fanning one during Monday's 5-2 win over the Marlins.

    Since moving to the bullpen for the second time this season, Walker has worked primarily as a middle reliever for the Phillies. The veteran right-hander has tossed a single inning in each of his last five outings, giving up two runs during that span. Through 11 frames (seven appearances) as a reliever this year, Walker owns a strong 3.27 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB with a save plus a hold.
