Miles Mikolas RP | WAS
Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Lit up in third loss
Mikolas (4-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Blue Jays after giving up six runs on nine hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out two.
Mikolas conceded his most runs since surrendering a whopping eight in his second start of the season. This marked already the sixth time this year he fanned two or fewer. Mikolas holds a lackluster 4.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 38:17 K:BB across 66.1 innings ahead of his next scheduled matchup against the Brewers.

Quinn Priester SP | MIL
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Fans seven in six strong innings
Priester (4-2) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta after giving up one run on seven hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.
Priester is beginning to find a rhythm after being lit up for seven runs back on May 2, tossing at least five innings in each of his last seven starts while allowing one run or fewer on five occasions during that stretch. The right-hander matched a season high in strikeouts Tuesday, and he registered his third quality start of the year. Priester has produced a 2.35 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB over his last seven outings (38.1 innings), and he'll look to keep the good times rolling his next time out versus the Cardinals.

Grant Holmes SP | ATL
Braves' Grant Holmes: Mixed results in fifth loss
Holmes (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against Milwaukee after giving up three runs on five hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.
It was a mixed bag for Holmes, who matched his season high in strikeouts but allowed three runs while working fewer than six innings in his third straight start. The 29-year-old right-hander did generate a staggering 20 whiffs Tuesday, but three of his five hits allowed went for extra bases, and two of them left the yard. Holmes will take a 4.07 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 77:32 K:BB through 73 innings into his next scheduled outing versus the Mets, who are slugging a potent .456 against righties since May 1.

Gabriel Moreno C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Pops homer in return
Moreno (hand) went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners.
Moreno missed three games after he suffered an injury to his right hand last Friday. He played the full game Tuesday, so he looks good to resume his status as the Diamondbacks' top catcher. His homer Tuesday was his first since May 23 versus the Cardinals, though he has been steady at the plate with just two hitless efforts in his last 16 games. Moreno is at a .277/.333/.428 slash line with five homers, 20 RBI, 28 runs scored and one stolen base across 51 contests.

Lourdes Gurriel LF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Swats 10th homer
Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners.
Gurriel has hit safely in 15 of his last 16 games, with seven multi-hit efforts in that span. His homer Tuesday was just his fourth extra-base hit during that 22-for-61 (.361) stretch. The outfielder's steady hitting has him up to a .258/.304/.446 slash line with 10 homers, 37 RBI, four steals, 24 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple through 62 contests. Gurriel had a poor start to 2025, but he's been bouncing back from it for the better part of a month to get his numbers roughly in line with his career norms.

Alek Thomas CF | LAD
Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Fills box score Tuesday
Thomas went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and four total runs scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners.
Thomas made some noise from the bottom of the lineup. He's hit safely in five of his last six games, going 9-for-22 (.409). Two of his three homers have come in that short stretch of success, which has helped him maintain a starting role in center field as he works to overcome a poor May. Thomas is now at a .273/.315/.395 slash line while adding 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and four stolen bases across 185 plate appearances.

Bryce Jarvis RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Grabs three-inning save
Jarvis allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners.
Jarvis' first big-league save was of the three-inning variety, and this shouldn't be an indication that he'll get a chance to close any time soon, even with Justin Martinez (elbow) and A.J. Puk (elbow) both on the injured list. This was Jarvis' first major-league appearance since April 18. He struggled as a starter at Triple-A Reno prior to his recall Tuesday, posting a 5.17 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 29:17 K:BB across 31.1 innings for the minor-league affiliate. Jarvis figures to operate as a multi-inning reliever moving forward, though his 6.10 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB across 10.1 innings in the majors this season offer little reason for confidence.

Brandon Pfaadt RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt: Bounces back Tuesday
Pfaadt (8-4) allowed two runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out four over five-plus innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Tuesday.
Pfaadt had five scoreless innings on his ledger before allowing solo home runs to Randy Arozarena and Rowdy Tellez in the sixth. Even with the late fade, this was a massive improvement over Pfaadt's previous two outings, during which he allowed a total of 14 runs over three innings. The right-hander is still at an ugly 5.37 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 55:18 K:BB through 70.1 innings over 14 starts this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Blue Jays next week.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Racks up three hits in win
Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Dodgers.
Bogaerts was recently hampered by a shoulder issue, which may partially explain his recent 5-for-35 (.143) stretch at the plate over his previous 10 games. He broke out of the slump with three singles in Tuesday's win, while also notching his first RBI since May 27. The shortstop continues to hover between .230 and .250 with his batting average -- Tuesday's effort put him at .240 on the year. He's added a meager .649 OPS, three home runs, 13 stolen bases, 23 RBI and 27 runs scored across 65 contests this season.

Luis Arraez 2B | SF
Padres' Luis Arraez: Two doubles in three-hit game
Arraez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and four runs scored in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Dodgers.
Arraez hasn't found any over-the-fence power in June, but he's gone 11-for-42 (.262) with five doubles across 10 games this month. He did his part to get on base frequently Tuesday, and Manny Machado benefited, knocking in Arraez three times in a five-RBI effort. Arraez is at a .281/.314/.405 slash line with three home runs, 15 doubles, three triples, 25 RBI, 31 runs scored and three stolen bases over 60 games this season. He continues to switch between first base and designated hitter, sharing both positions with Gavin Sheets.
