Michael Toglia 1B | CIN
Rockies' Michael Toglia: Continues to thrive at home
Toglia went 1-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.
Toglia got the Rockies on the board in the second inning Tuesday with a solo shot, his third homer of the year. The slugging switch hitter now has at least one hit in nine of his last 12 outings, but Toglia's splits in home and away games could continue to define his overall fantasy appeal. Toglia is batting just .120 with one long ball, one double and four RBI over 50 at-bats on the road, but he's hitting .308 with two round trippers, three doubles and nine RBI across 52 at-bats at Coors Field.

Michael Harris II CF | ATL
Braves' Michael Harris: Season-high three RBI in win
Harris went 1-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's win over Colorado.
The three RBI marked a season high by Harris, who is swinging a hot bat recently. The speedy center fielder is batting .333 (15-for-45) with one home run, four doubles, 12 RBI and four stolen bases across his last 11 outings. Harris has lost some opportunities as the leadoff hitter to Alex Verdugo of late, but the former is working to make his way back up the batting order in Ronald Acuna's (knee) stead.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Breaks slump with home run
Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Pirates.
Swanson entered the game 0-for-9 over his last two contests and batting just .181 overall, but he responded to a move down to the No. 8 spot in the order with his fifth home run of the season. The shortstop should maintain his regular role despite the early struggles, and he has the talent to get things going in a hurry.

Pete Crow-Armstrong CF | CHC
Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Goes deep Tuesday
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Pirates.
Crow-Armstrong hit his third home run in his last six games and sixth of the season with a runner on in the fifth inning. The outfielder is known for his speed, as he has 12 steals in 13 attempts, but his power is also starting to trend up, making the 23-year-old a valuable fantasy target.

German Marquez SP | SD
Rockies' German Marquez: Miserable stretch continues in loss
Marquez (0-5) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta after allowing seven runs on 11 hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out one.
It's been a miserable stretch for Marquez, who has given up a whopping 25 runs over his last four starts. He got just five whiffs over his 86 pitches Tuesday, and his 11 hits allowed established a season worst. The veteran right-hander's expiring contract makes him a logical trade candidate later this summer, and he's struggled mightily in his 10th season in Colorado. Marquez will take a 9.82 ERA, 2.06 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB over 25.2 innings into a tough matchup against the Giants, currently projected for this weekend in San Francisco.

Cal Mitchell RF | CHW
Giants' Cal Mitchell: Inks minors deal with SF
Mitchell signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Tuesday.
Mitchell was released by the White Sox on Saturday after putting up a .259 OPS in 27 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte. He'll now get another chance in the Giants organization, but they'll bump him down to Double-A Richmond in an effort to jumpstart his bat against lower-level competition. Even if he finds a groove offensively, he doesn't project as anything more than minor-league depth for his new club.

Carson Kelly C | CHC
Cubs' Carson Kelly: Homers, drives in three
Kelly went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's victory against the Pirates.
Kelly's bat has been hot this season, and he was rewarded with his first start in the cleanup spot Tuesday. He didn't waste much time making an impact, belting a two-run shot to open the game's scoring in the fourth inning. Kelly later added an RBI single in the ninth. He's started 15 games this season and has delivered multiple hits in five of those, resulting in a .370/.524/.891 slash line.

Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC
Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Goes deep in win
Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double, a triple, three runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over Pittsburgh.
Suzuki finished a single short of the cycle in Tuesday's dominant performance. He doubled and scored in the fourth inning, knocked a two-run shot in the seventh and capped off his day with a triple and another run scored in the ninth. Suzuki has collected multiple hits in four of his last six games. He owns a strong .298/.368/.596 slash line with 15 extra-base hits and 25 RBI through 117 plate appearances.

Andrew Heaney RP | LAD
Pirates' Andrew Heaney: Coughs up four runs
Heaney (2-2) allowed four runs on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings while taking a loss against the Cubs on Tuesday. He did not record a strikeout.
Heaney worked through three scoreless frames before things turned south. Carson Kelly knocked a two-run shot in the fourth inning, and Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Heaney had given up just one home run through 31.1 innings entering Tuesday's outing. His shortest start of the season bumped his ERA up to 2.50 with a 31:9 K:BB through 36 innings. Heaney is lined up to face the Padres at home this weekend.

Tyler Callihan RF | PIT
Reds' Tyler Callihan: Set for promotion
The Reds plan to recall Callihan from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After starting the Triple-A season with a .303/.410/.528 slash line alongside four homers, 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and six stolen bases through 106 plate appearances, Callihan will join the big-league club to provide Cincinnati with some depth at second base and left field. With Jeimer Candelario (back) and Austin Hays (hamstring) both currently dealing with injuries, Callihan's impending promotion seemingly indicates a move to the IL for at least one of the two players.
