  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Gets aboard three times in loss

    Tatis went 1-for-3 with two walks, one stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.

    Tatis is still shaking off a slump, but he entered Monday 0-for-12 with a 1:5 BB:K over his previous three games. He was able to get aboard three times in this contest. The outfielder has made the most of his trips on base, racking up five steals over his last 11 games despite batting .171 (7-for-41) with eight walks in that span. He's batting .260 with a .796 OPS, 13 steals, 13 home runs, 28 RBI and 44 runs scored over 63 contests this season.

  • Nick Pivetta RP | SD

    Padres' Nick Pivetta: Labors early in no-decision

    Pivetta allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision Monday versus the Dodgers.

    Pivetta allowed multiple runs in the first and third innings, which quickly ran up his pitch count. He finished at 93 pitches (56 strikes) in his shortest outing since a four-inning start at Coors Field on May 11. Pivetta has allowed 10 runs (nine earned) over his last two starts against the Giants and the Dodgers, and in five starts versus NL West rivals, he's allowed a total of 19 runs (18 earned) across 26.1 innings. Overall, he's at a 3.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 79:21 K:BB through 72.1 innings over 13 starts this season. Pivetta is lined up to face another divisional foe this weekend in a road start versus the Diamondbacks, who he has yet to pitch against this season.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Three-hit effort in win

    Freeman went 3-fo-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Padres.

    Freeman had been in a bit of a rut prior to Monday, going just 1-for-16 with two walks and six strikeouts over his last five games. He broke out of the slump with his third multi-hit effort of June. The first baseman has been one of the hottest hitters in the majors since late April, so a brief slump is nothing to be worried about. He's posted a .351/.418/.591 slash line with nine home runs, 41 RBI, 36 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases through 56 games.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Pops homer Monday

    Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run home and an additional RBI in Monday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Padres.

    Smith did his damage early, supplying a sacrifice fly in the first inning before his homer in the third. The catcher opened June in an 0-for-9 skid, but he's since gone 5-for-17 with three extra-base hits over his last four contests. For the season, he's maintained a .320/.423/.503 slash line with six homers, 36 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases over 53 games.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Earns 12th save

    Scott allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out one over one inning to earn the save in Monday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Padres.

    Scott allowed an RBI double to Jackson Merrill in the 10th inning, but he was able to strand the young Padre at second base to end the back-and-forth contest. This was Scott's second save in his last three outings, which comes after manager Dave Roberts indicated the Dodgers are using a committee-based approach to closing duties. That was necessitated by Scott's bumpy stretch from May 20 to June 2, when he allowed 12 runs (10 earned) over six innings while converting just one of four save chances. Nonetheless, he remains in the late-inning mix. He's at a 4.11 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 35:4 K:BB while adding 12 saves and five holds over 30.2 innings this season. The Dodgers are 40-27 following Monday's win, so there are plenty of saves to go around -- they are one of nine teams in the majors so far to accumulate 20 saves as a team.

  • Dustin May SP | STL

    Dodgers' Dustin May: Sloppy work in no-decision

    May allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits and four walks while striking out one over five innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Monday.

    May gave up all six runs within the first three innings. He ended the outing with 89 pitches (48 strikes) but exited with the game tied, sparing him the loss despite not having his best stuff. The four walks were a season high, while the one strikeout matched his season low. May's poor outing put him at a 4.46 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 64:26 K:BB across 66.2 innings over 12 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Giants this weekend.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Pair of knocks in win

    Bohm went 2-for-5 in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Cubs.

    Although Bohm saw his 10-game hitting streak come to an end on May 30, he's maintained healthy production in the past few weeks. Over his last 20 outings, the 28-year-old infielder is hitting. 305 (25-for-82) with three homers, three doubles, eight RBI and nine runs scored. Bohm has hit either third or fourth in Philadelphia's batting order nine times in his last 12 contests, and he should continue to bat in those positions while Bryce Harper (wrist) is on the injured list.

  • Diamondbacks' Justin Martinez: Exits with trainer

    Martinez left Monday's game against the Mariners with an undisclosed injury, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

    Martinez was one out away from recording his sixth save of the season, but he made a motion for the trainer after throwing a 97 mile-per-hour sinker to Donovan Solano. Martinez is presumably headed for further evaluation to determine the severity of his injury.

  • Matt Strahm RP | KC

    Phillies' Matt Strahm: Takes fourth blown save Monday

    Strahm blew the save in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Cubs after giving up a solo home run and a walk with no strikeouts in the eighth inning.

    Strahm was charged with his fourth blown save of the season, and he's now gone a poor 2-for-6 on save opportunities this year. The veteran left-hander has begun to struggle as a setup man in Philadelphia's bullpen, logging a 5.06 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over his last 16 innings. Jordan Romano has been shaky as the Phillies' closer -- he owns a 7.40 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 2025 -- but Strahm's recent performance hasn't helped his case as a potential ninth-inning option.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Continues torrid stretch in rout

    Frazier went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins.

    Frazier recorded his fourth three-hit game of the season, with each coming in his last 12 games. During this span, the veteran utility man is batting a torrid .395 (17-for-43) with one home run, four doubles, five RBI and six runs scored. Frazier regularly sits against southpaws and continues to see limited playing time since Nick Gonzales returned -- Frazier has taken just 19 at-bats versus lefties in 2025 and has started just four of Pittsburgh's past eight contests.
