    Reds' TJ Friedl: Scores three runs in wins

    Friedl went 1-for-5 with two walks, a home run, three RBI and two additional runs scored in wins over the Diamondbacks on Friday and Saturday. Friday's suspended game was completed Saturday.

    Friedl homered during the Friday portion of the suspended game and then reached base three times in Saturday's regularly scheduled affair, including getting hit by a pitch. The Reds' leadoff hitter is rolling of late, going 25-for-66 (.379) with nine walks, four doubles, a triple, two home runs, one steal, six RBI and 14 runs scored over the last 17 contests. He's second on the team behind Elly De La Cruz with 38 runs in 62 games.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Sticking around in rotation

    Wrobleski is slated to start Wednesday's game in San Diego.

    The left-hander was summoned from Triple-A Oklahoma City for a start Friday, taking a loss while allowing four earned runs on six hits and three walks over six innings against the Cardinals. With the Los Angeles pitching staff hit hard by injuries, Wrobleski will be given the chance to make at least one more turn through the rotation, but he may not be guaranteed any starts after that.

  • Chase Burns SP | CIN

    Reds' Chase Burns: Dominant in Double-A shutout

    Burns allowed three hits and struck out six in a complete-game, seven-inning shutout victory for Double-A Chattanooga on Saturday.

    Burns was masterful in retiring the first 17 batters he faced before allowing three singles over his final 1.1 innings. The Reds' top pitching prospect was still hitting 98 mph in his final frame, per Jesse Borek and Cole Winetraub of MLB.com. The right-hander has walked just four batters over 42 innings since his promotion to Double-A and owns a combined 75:9 K:BB on the season.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Slugs 12th homer

    Marte went 2-for-7 with a two-run home run in losses to the Reds on Friday and Saturday. The Friday game was suspended after six innings due to weather and completed Saturday.

    Marte launched his 12th homer of the year during the Friday portion of the suspended game, giving him home runs in consecutive games and four in a four-game span. Marte has nine home runs and 16 RBI over the last 19 contests, during which he's slashed .342/.455/.740 across 89 plate appearances.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in loss

    Perdomo went 1-for-7 with a solo home run in losses to the Reds on Friday and Saturday. The Friday game was suspended due to rain and completed Saturday.

  • Jesus Sanchez RF | TOR

    Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Career day powers win

    Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double, two runs scored and five RBI during Saturday's 11-10 extra-inning victory over the Rays.

    Sanchez delivered a new career high with five RBI, fueled by two big-time hits -- a three-run home run and a two-RBI double. The 27-year-old has seven hits, four of them for extra bases, and has driven in eight of his 23 RBI on the season over his last five games. His .269 batting average is on track to be the best of his career.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Blasts walk-off bomb

    Chapman went 1-for-4 with a walk-off two-run home run in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Atlanta.

    The third baseman played hero Saturday, launching a walk-off homer to extend the Giants' winning streak to four games. The team has leaned heavily on its pitching, but Chapman has been a key contributor offensively, slashing .389/.463/.750 with seven extra-base hits and five RBI over his past 10 games. The 32-year-old and Heliot Ramos are the only Giants with an OPS above .800 this season.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Reaches three times in win

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored, a double and a walk during Saturday's 11-10 extra-inning win over the Rays.

    June has been a kind month to Edwards so far as he's now recorded a hit in four of the five games he's played. The 25-year-old is 9-for-18 with four runs scored, three doubles, three RBI, two walks and just one strikeout. He is slashing .284/.355/.326 on the season, so it's good to see him getting some extra-base hits.

  • Pierce Johnson RP | CIN

    Braves' Pierce Johnson: Surrenders walk-off homer

    Johnson (1-3) blew the save and took the loss Saturday against San Francisco. He allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.

    The right-hander has taken the loss on back-to-back days, this time giving up a two-run homer to Matt Chapman that spoiled Bryce Elder's stellar outing. Johnson has gotten a shot at closing games amid Raisel Iglesias' struggles, but he's posted a 6.23 ERA and 1.73 WHIP over his past 10 appearances, and he has more blown saves on the year (two) than successful conversions (one) .

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Strong showing in no-decision

    Webb did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against Atlanta. He struck out 10.

    Webb struck out double-digit batters for the fourth time this season. San Francisco's ace has been both consistent and effective in 2025, pitching to a 2.58 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 87.1 innings in 14 starts. If he maintains this level of performance, the 28-year-old is on pace to record his first sub-3.00 ERA season since 2022 and set a career high in strikeouts.
