Austin Riley 3B | ATL
Braves' Austin Riley: Stays hot with three hits
Riley went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Brewers.
The third baseman has a history of heating up with the weather, and Riley has reeled off four multi-hit performances over the last five games to fuel a .323/.364/.548 slash line over the last 15 contests. The 28-year-old also has a 3:17 BB:K over that stretch however, continuing a trend that has seen him post his worst plate-discipline rates on the season (6.3 percent walk rate, 27.4 percent strikeout rate) since his rookie campaign in 2019.

Raisel Iglesias RP | ATL
Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Clean inning in lower-leverage spot
Iglesias struck out two in a perfect eighth inning during Monday's 7-1 win over the Brewers.
The right-hander entered the game to protect a four-run lead, with Atlanta adding on some insurance in the top of the ninth. Iglesias has a 7.07 ERA since the beginning of May and hasn't successfully converted a save since May 16, but with no one else in the bullpen having yet taken advantage of the opportunity to lay claim to the closer role, he may only need a few sharp appearances in a row to re-establish himself as the top option for manager Brian Snitker.

Jacob Misiorowski SP | MIL
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Coming up for MLB debut Thursday
The Brewers are expected to call up Misiorowski from Triple-A Nashville to make his major-league debut in a start Thursday against the Cardinals, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Misiorowski has some of the best raw stuff in the minors with a fastball that regularly clocks in the triple digits. Control has been a big issue at times, and he has issued nine walks over his last two starts at Nashville. The control has mostly been better this season, however, with the righty walking two or fewer in seven of his last 10 outings. Overall, Misiorowski has collected a 2.13 ERA and 80:31 K:BB over 63.1 innings with Nashville. The Brewers are unlikely to call him up to make just one start, so Misiorowski should get an opportunity to stick around with the big club for a bit.

Bryce Jarvis RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Heading back to big leagues
The Diamondbacks will recall Jarvis from Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's game versus the Mariners, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Jarvis will provide a fresh bullpen arm following Monday's extra-innings victory over Seattle. The right-hander has made six relief appearances for Arizona in 2025, yielding six runs with a 9:3 K:BB across 7.1 frames.

Jeff Brigham RP | CHC
Diamondbacks' Jeff Brigham: Will be sent back down
The Diamondbacks will option Brigham to Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's contest against the Mariners, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Brigham gave up three runs without recording an out in Monday's game. He will be replaced on the roster and in the bullpen by Bryce Jarvis, who is getting called up from Triple-A.

Andres Chaparro 1B | WAS
Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Recalled from Triple-A
The Nationals recalled Chaparro from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Chaparro was sidelined for the first two months of the season with a strained oblique, but he's earned a promotion after batting .304 with five home runs in 15 games with Rochester. The 26-year-old could see regular playing time against left-handed pitching.

Corbin Carroll RF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Playing through tight hamstring
Carroll has been dealing with a tight hamstring but was in the Diamondbacks' lineup Monday and went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk in a 8-4 win over the Mariners in 11 innings, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
The hamstring issue offers an explanation as to why Carroll was out of the lineup for consecutive games over the weekend against the Reds, although he did appear as a pinch hitter in one of those contests. While Carroll appears set to continue playing through the hamstring issue, it's possible he will be less aggressive on the basepaths. Carroll was unsuccessful in his lone stolen base attempt in June and has just one steal over his last 19 games.
