Naylor started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a sacrifice fly and an RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Giants.

Naylor returned to the lineup after missing four games due to a neck injury. He eventually moved to the field to play first base for the 10th inning.

Gomber took a no-decision Wednesday against the Astros, giving up two runs on eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out one.

Gomber was able to maneuver through some trouble, holding Houston in check for two runs despite allowing eight knocks. The left-hander has yet to work greater than five innings in any of his four starts this season, and he's fanned only two over his last three outings. Gomber's nine-run implosion from his June 20 start has left him with a bloated 5.49 ERA and 1.53 WHIP through his first 19.2 innings, and he doesn't shape up as a recommended fantasy option against the Red Sox at Fenway Park in his next scheduled start.

Imanaga (5-2) recorded the win Wednesday against the Guardians, giving up three runs on four hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

Imanaga ran into trouble early, serving up back-to-back solo jacks in the second inning and another homer in the third, but he was able to settle down a bit thereafter. The left-hander was pulled after throwing 81 pitches in his second start following almost two months on the injured list with a hamstring injury, but he did toss at least five frames in his ninth consecutive outing. Imanaga will look to further extend his pitch count in his next scheduled appearance against the Twins in Minnesota. He sports a 2.78 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 41:15 K:BB through 55 innings for the campaign.

Roupp didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Arizona, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks over four-plus innings. He struck out four.

Roupp held the Diamondbacks scoreless through four innings, but he was promptly pulled before logging an out in the fifth frame. He yielded a leadoff homer, back-to-back walks and then a single, leaving the bases loaded for Erik Miller. Roupp has been excellent since being tagged for six runs across 1.2 innings during a June 14 start against the Dodgers, boasting a 1.17 ERA and a 15:9 K:BB in 15.1 innings across three starts since. He's scheduled to face the Phillies next time out.

Kelly didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against San Francisco, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over six innings.

Kelly got off to a rough start, allowing a solo homer, a triple and a walk as part of a two-run first inning for the Giants. While he settled in afterward and logged his fourth quality start in six outings, he notched his fewest strikeouts since May 2 and snapped a streak of five straight starts with at least seven Ks. On the year, Kelly owns a 3.55 ERA across 104 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start in San Diego.

Lee went 3-for-5 with an RBI triple, a double and two runs scored during Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Lee came into Wednesday's contest with two hits in his last 36 at-bats and hitless in his previous 14. He ended the drought with his first three-hit game since May 6, and he fell a home run short of the cycle. Through 349 plate appearances in 2025, Lee is slashing .246/.315/.406, and he's tied for the fourth most triples in MLB (seven).

Thomas went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Giants.

Thomas took Landen Roupp deep in the fifth inning for a leadoff homer. The long ball was Thomas' fifth of the season and second of his last six games. In his last eight appearances, the center fielder has gone 8-for-29 (.276) with six runs scored and four RBI.

Doval (4-2) blew a save but picked up the win Wednesday against Arizona, allowing two runs on two hits with three strikeouts over two innings.

Doval surrendered a game-tying two-run home run to Ketel Marte in the bottom of the ninth, but he returned for the 10th inning -- inheriting a one-run lead -- and retired the side to wind up with a win. Doval is in the midst of a rough patch, having allowed multiple runs in three of his last four appearances. The stretch has inflated his ERA from 1.59 to 3.03.

Miller (3-3) took the loss Wednesday against San Francisco, allowing an unearned run on one hit over one inning.

After Ketel Marte's two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth tied the ballgame, Miller took the mound for the top of the 10th and allowed an infield single to Heliot Ramos that advanced the automatic runner to third. Patrick Bailey plated the automatic runner with a sacrifice fly before Miller induced a double play. Arizona couldn't scrape a run across in the bottom half, resulting in a tough-luck loss for Miller. In his last six outings, the right-hander has allowed two runs (one earned) with nine strikeouts and no walks across 6.1 innings. He has a 2.04 ERA this season and should continue operating as Arizona's primary closer.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to San Francisco.

Marte swatted his 18th home run of the season Wednesday, tagging Camilo Doval for a game-tying, two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning to send the game to extras. Marte has now hit six home runs in his last 12 games, going 16-for-47 (.340) with four doubles during that stretch. The star second baseman is slashing .300/.404/.595 in 2025.
