Hilliard went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Mets.

Hilliard was brought on to the Rockies' 26-man roster before Friday's game as his contract was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque. He pinch hit for Tyler Freeman in the seventh inning, and Hilliard took advantage of the opportunity by taking Huascar Brazoban deep to right-center field for a solo home run. Hilliard is unlikely to see regular playing time but could see some spot starts in the outfield.

Priester (2-2) earned the win against the Phillies on Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks without recording a strikeout over six innings.

DL Hall tossed three scoreless frames as the opener before Priester delivered six strong innings to close out the game. It was an interesting outing for the 24-year-old, who needed just 71 pitches to cover six innings and didn't issue a walk for the first time all season. However, he also generated just six whiffs and failed to record a strikeout for the first time this year. He owns a 4.09 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 32:23 K:BB across 50.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Reds next week.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.

Lindor kicked things off with a leadoff homer off Kyle Freeland. Lindor came across home plate in the third on a Juan Soto RBI double before finishing things off with another solo shot in the eighth. It was Lindor's second multi-homer game of the season, and the 31-year-old shortstop is slashing .278/.347/.480 with 10 steals, 12 home runs and 33 RBI across 259 plate appearances this season.

Diaz earned the save in Friday's 4-2 win over Colorado, striking out all three batters he faced in a perfect ninth inning.

Diaz was brought in to protect the Mets' two-run lead. He made quick work of the Rockies batters, causing all three he faced to strike out swinging. Diaz has converted all 12 of his save opportunities this season and has not yielded an earned run since April 21 against the Phillies. He has a 2.31 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB across 23.1 innings this season.

Walker (2-4) took the loss against the Brewers on Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with six strikeouts over four innings.

Walker allowed two runs in the first inning and was charged with two more after failing to record an out in the fifth. While he did generate 11 whiffs, he threw only 53 of 89 pitches for strikes and was unable to complete five innings for the fourth time in eight starts this season. The 32-year-old owns a 3.53 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 39:17 K:BB across 43.1 innings between starting and relief roles. If he gets another shot in the rotation, it should come on the road against the Blue Jays next week.

Peterson (4-2) earned the win against the Rockies on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out five across 5.2 innings.

Peterson faced the minimum number of batters in two of the first five innings of Friday's game. He was brought back out for the sixth, but he was lifted after yielding an RBI double to Ryan McMahon. Peterson was one out shy from what would have been his fifth straight quality start (and seventh of the season), but regardless he received enough run support to come away with the win. The 29-year-old southpaw hasn't given up more than three earned runs in any of his 11 starts this season, and his 2.69 ERA (across 63.2 innings) is sixth best among qualified starters in the National League this season. He is slated to make his next start on the road against the Dodgers next week.

Chourio went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.

Chourio singled, stole second and scored in the first inning before doubling and scoring again in the fifth. The 21-year-old has hit safely in eight of his past 10 games, adding a home run, four RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases. On the year, he's slashing .244/.272/.419 with eight home runs, 29 RBI, 33 runs scored and 10 steals across 257 plate appearances.

Yelich went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.

Yelich hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning and then crushed a 420-foot solo shot in the ninth. He extended his hitting streak to eight games, a stretch that includes five multi-hit performances, five homers, 12 RBI, nine runs scored and two steals. While he's slashing a modest .220/.305/.416, the 33-year-old has still produced 12 long balls, 38 RBI, 30 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 236 plate appearances.

Phillips (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Phillips has been on the injured list since early May due to inflammation in his elbow. He attempted to play catch following a two-week shutdown but didn't respond well, and the 30-year-old righty will now go under the knife to address the issue. The procedure will put an early end to his 2025 campaign after 5.2 shutout innings, and he's likely to miss the vast majority of 2026 as well.

Betts will get X-rays after injuring a toe on his left foot Wednesday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Betts stubbed his left toe at home Wednesday and is considered day-to-day until results from the X-ray come back. Miguel Rojas -- who is starting at shortstop against the Yankees on Friday -- would stand to see more playing time if Betts is forced to the injured list. Betts has slashed .258/.336/.402 with three steals, four home runs and 12 RBI in 110 plate appearances since the beginning of May.
