Uribe recorded his sixth save of the season in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Cardinals, walking one and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Trevor Megill had worked the prior two days and three of the last four, leaving him unavailable for closing duties in the afternoon contest, but Uribe is a more-than-capable alternative. It was Uribe's first save since May 19, but he's produced nine straight scoreless appearances, a stretch in which he's posted a 0.50 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB in 10 innings. He'll continue to be the next man up in the ninth inning whenever Megill is unavailable. With Milwaukee's primary closer headed into his final year of arbitration in 2027, it wouldn't be a shock to see Megill on the move at the trade deadline the way Josh Hader was in 2022, which would open the door for Uribe to take on the role full time.

Misiorowski (10-4) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Cardinals, giving up three runs on three hits over seven inning. He struck out 11 without walking a batter.

All three hits off Misiorowski went for extra bases, including a first-inning homer by Jordan Walker and a third-inning blast by Ivan Herrera, but the flame-throwing righty got just enough run support to collect the win. The quality start was his 12th of the year, while the double-digit strikeout game was his eighth, fueling his MLB-leading 167 Ks in 111 innings -- 30 strikeouts ahead of second-place Dylan Cease and Cristopher Sanchez. Misiorowski is currently scheduled to work the Brewers' final game before the All-Star break, on the road Sunday in Pittsburgh, which would take him out of the running to get the start for the National League in the Midsummer Classic.

Boyd (4-1) picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Orioles, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

The veteran southpaw delivered his second quality start of the season on an impressive 93 pitches (64 strikes), but Ryan Rolison coughed up the combined shutout in the seventh inning. Boyd has looked good since returning from the injured list in late June, and over three trips to the mound he's posted a 1.72 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB in 15.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come Sunday in Cincinnati in the Cubs' final game before the All-Star break.

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

Suarez accounted for Cincinnati's only offense Tuesday, taking Zack Wheeler deep in the seventh inning for his ninth home run of the season. Since his two-homer performance against the Mets on June 15, the veteran slugger has cooled off, batting .167 with a 39.7 percent strikeout rate. On the year, Suarez is slashing .207/.280/.374 with 10 doubles, 32 RBI and 21 runs scored across 246 plate appearances.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Reds.

Schwarber provided the biggest swing of the night in the third inning, taking Andrew Abbott deep for his MLB-leading 31st home run of the season. Through six July contests, Schwarber is 5-for-21 while drawing a walk in each game. Across 393 plate appearances this season, Schwarber is slashing .255/.370/.570 with nine doubles, one triple, 57 RBI, 56 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Ewing went 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 16-12 loss to the Royals.

Ewing launched a two-run homer off Seth Lugo in the second inning before adding an RBI single in the fourth. He swiped his ninth base of the season in the sixth. The four hits established a season high and were more than he had collected from his previous seven games combined (three). Ewing is now slashing .276/.359/.431 with six home runs, seven doubles, one triple, 23 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 200 plate appearances.

McCarthy went 0-for-2 with two RBI on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

McCarthy was productive despite going hitless, driving in a run on a groundout and a sacrifice fly. While he had a five-game hitting streak snapped, McCarthy now has 14 RBI across his first seven games in July. This stretch continued a breakout season, as he's tallied 51 RBI, 37 runs scored and 14 stolen bases across 78 games.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.

Seeing Edman swipe a bag is a positive sign after he sat out two games due to issues with his right foot/ankle, the same one that was surgically repaired in the offseason. He played the full game in left field to give Teoscar Hernandez a day off. Edman is batting .340 with a .917 OPS, one home run, two steals, nine RBI, seven runs scored, three doubles and a triple over 18 contests this season. He'll get a decent share of the time at second base, but Edman's versatility and the Dodgers' trust in Alex Freeland means the former is often functionally more of super-utility player.

Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run Tuesday in a 4-1 victory versus Arizona.

It was an eventful day for Cronenworth, beginning with a batting-practice mishap during which he was struck in the face by a groundball, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. The utility man was able to remain in the lineup, but he committed an error in the top of the first inning that led to an Arizona run. All was well that ended well for Cronenworth, however, as he clubbed a three-run blast in the bottom of the frame that ultimately provided the winning margin for San Diego. The long ball was just the third in what has been a rough campaign for Cronenworth, as he's slashing a poor .183/.285/.270 through 41 contests. However, he's begun to turn things around this month, batting .360 (9-for-25) with two homers and six RBI through seven July games.

Freeland went 3-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.

Freeland has started at second base in five of the Dodgers' seven games in July, including three times against right-handers. There was room for both Freeland and Tommy Edman in the lineup Tuesday since Teoscar Hernandez got a day off, but the two are largely expected to share duties at the keystone. Edman's versatility likely means Freeland won't get completely shut out of the lineup, but it remains to be seen how the work gets divvied up. Freeland is batting .237 with a .637 OPS, three home runs, two steals, 19 RBI, 24 runs scored and seven doubles over 218 plate appearances.
