Murphy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals.

Murphy got Atlanta on the board with a solo blast in the fourth. It was Murphy's sixth big blast of the season in just his 12th game, and he currently leads the team in home runs. Murphy's batting average continues to hover around the Mendoza Line and currently sits at .209, but he's made up for it so far with his power and sports a .948 OPS.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals.

Olson extended his hit streak to seven games with an opposite-field solo home run in the fifth. It was his third home run during the hit streak, and he now has six RBI over his last three games. Olson's average now sits at .238 this season after he hit .193 with just one home run over his first 16 games.

Blewett allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one in three innings Tuesday against the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Blewett gave Atlanta two scoreless innings, but Lars Nootbaar took him deep for a two-run shot in the third when facing him for a second time. Three innings marked Blewett's longest appearance this season, all of which have lasted more than an inning. He owns a 2.25 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB in 12 innings this season.

Gorman went 1-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's win over Atlanta.

Gorman provided some clutch hitting with the bases loaded and cleared them all with a double to right field. It's his second straight game with a double and an RBI and his first game with multiple RBI since July 20 of last year. Gorman's now up to seven RBI with five extra-base knocks.

Nootbaar went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, a walk, a steal, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over Atlanta.

Nootbaar opened up the scoring with a two-run blast to right in the third and later plated the Cardinals' 10th and final run of the game with a base hit in the ninth. Nootbaar last hit a homer April 16 and went just 1-for-his-last-20 at the plate before his long ball Tuesday night. Nootbaar now sits at four homers for the year and is already up to three stolen bases after totaling only seven in 109 games in 2024.

Pallante allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out a batter in 4.1 innings Tuesday against Atlanta. He did not factor into the decision.

Pallante was able to blank Atlanta through three innings despite allowing traffic on the bases in each frame. His good fortune ran out from there as he surrendered four runs while only recording four more outs in the game. Tuesday's outing was tied for Pallante's shortest of the year, and he's now allowed four runs in consecutive starts after allowing just four runs total over his first three starts combined. Pallante possesses a 4.05 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB in 26.2 innings. He lines up to make another start on the road next week against the Reds.

Suarez (back) completed his third minor-league rehab start Tuesday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out five in five scoreless innings with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, MLB.com reports.

While it was encouraging to see Suarez cruise Tuesday, he threw just 59 pitches after tossing 54 in his second rehab outing. The left-hander is now scheduled to make his fourth rehab appearance Sunday with Lehigh Valley, although it remains to be seen if the status of Cristopher Sanchez (forearm) will change Philadelphia's plans for Suarez. As it stands, Taijuan Walker remains the most likely candidate to be moved to the Phillies' bullpen once Suarez is reinstated from the injured list.

McCutchen went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

McCutchen gave the Pirates a 5-1 lead in the fourth inning Tuesday, delivering his second long ball of the campaign. The veteran outfielder's best fantasy days appear to be behind him, but he continues to occupy a premium spot in Pittsburgh's lineup. Through 66 plate appearances, McCutchen is slashing a serviceable .246/.348/.404 with three doubles, nine RBI, eight runs scored and one stolen base.

Reynolds went 3-for-5 with two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

Tuesday marked Reynolds' third three-hit effort in his last four games. The switch-hitting outfielder got off to a very quiet start to the campaign, but he's looked far better at the plate over the past two weeks. Across his last 13 outings, Reynolds is batting .333 (17-for-51) with two home runs, two doubles, seven RBI and eight runs scored.

Scott blew the save Tuesday against the Cubs after giving up a solo home run in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

Summoned to protect a 10-9 lead in a back-and-forth battle, Scott was one out away from nabbing the save before serving up a long to ball to Miguel Amaya. It was the second blown save of the year for the 30-year-old left-hander, who has still worked to an impressive 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 11:0 K:BB through his first 13 innings. Although the Dodgers aren't short on other high-leverage arms with closing experience, Scott should still remain the favorite for saves going forward despite Tuesday's hiccup.
