Gorman went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 10-9 loss to Toronto.

Gorman remains stuck in part-time role, but he's been relatively productive lately when given the opportunity to play. Across his last 15 games, the 25-year-old infielder is batting .343 (12-for-35) with four extra-base hits, five RBI and three runs scored. It's unclear if his recent hot streak will earn him more playing time going forward, but Gorman at least has a clearer pathway to at-bats at second base while Brendan Donovan sees extra reps in the outfield amid the absence of Jordan Walker (wrist).

Chourio went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Atlanta.

It was the 11th long ball of the season for Chourio, who's been heating up at the plate recently. Over his last 19 games, the speedy 21-year-old outfielder is batting .309 (25-for-81) with four home runs, four doubles and 14 RBI to go with 15 runs scored and five stolen bases as a five-category fantasy contributor. Chourio has eight multi-hit efforts during this period.

Megill picked up the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Atlanta, throwing a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts.

After giving up two runs in a blown save Saturday against the Padres, Megill righted the ship Tuesday for his 13th save of the campaign. The hard-throwing right-hander has still been excellent for the most part over his last 17.2 innings, posting a 2.04 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB over that span as Milwaukee's clear-cut closer.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies.

Swanson hit his 12th home run of the season and first since May 23 to help lead the Cubs to a big victory. The shortstop is quickly nearing his 2024 total of 16 long balls. Swanson's career high in home runs is 27, which he recorded back in 2021 with Atlanta. He should continue to see regular playing time in the middle of a stacked Chicago lineup, giving him good fantasy upside the rest of the way.

Happ went 2-for-3 with two walks, two home runs, three RBI and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies.

Happ led the way in a big Chicago victory with his first multi-homer game of the season. The veteran outfielder is experiencing a bit of a power surge with four long balls in his last six games, giving him seven for the year. Happ seems to be heating up, as he's boosted his OPS from .709 to .742 this month, and he figures to keep posting strong stats in a formidable Chicago lineup.

Donovan was removed from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to toe discomfort, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

It's unclear what caused Donovan's injury, but his toe forced him out of the game in the ninth inning after he had gone 0-for-3 with a run scored. Fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for now, though Nolan Gorman could pick up some additional starts at second base if Donovan has to miss any amount of time.

Marsh was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to left elbow soreness, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Marsh looked a little uncomfortable after sliding into second base during the second inning, though he wasn't removed until the sixth. The fact that he was able to remain in the game for a while could signal that his injury isn't too serious, though the Phillies will likely offer some more details in the near future. Johan Rojas would be the favorite to pick up some starts in center field if Marsh needs to sit out another game or two.

Chapman (hand) said Tuesday that he expects to miss more than the minimum 10 days while on the injured list, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman was placed on the IL on Tuesday after injuring his right hand while diving back into first base Sunday. The third baseman underwent an MRI on Monday, which showed sprained ligaments in his hand. Chapman said Tuesday that he hopes to return to action before the All-Star break, with the Giants' last game of the first half coming July 13. It's a tough break for the 32-year-old, who had recorded at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 games, batting .395 with three home runs, five RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases over that stretch.

Feltner (back) completed a full bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.

Feltner has been conducting his throwing program at the Rockies' spring training facility in Arizona since being pulled off his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque in late May. The right-hander will likely throw at least a couple more side sessions before advancing to facing hitters and eventually heading back out on a rehab assignment. Given that he's been on the shelf since May 2 due to the back issue, Feltner may need more than one rehab start before he's cleared to rejoin the Colorado rotation, possibly in late June or early July.

Gomber (shoulder) struck out three and allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks over four innings in his rehab start for Double-A Hartford on Wednesday.

Gomber's appearance was his first at any level since March 28, when he made a rehab start in Triple-A Albuquerque's season opener before experiencing a setback in his recovery from left shoulder soreness. The left-hander checked out fine coming out of Wednesday's start, and after completing a bullpen session at Coors Field on Saturday, he's set to report to Albuquerque for his next rehab outing Tuesday. Gomber is expected to cover 65 pitches Tuesday, and if all goes well, he could be a candidate to return from the 60-day injured list and make his season debut with the Rockies.
