Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Ruiz is up to 18 steals on the season, though his cold bat has decreased his opportunities on the bases lately. He has gone just 3-for-17 with one walk and five strikeouts over his last 11 contests, though he still has four steals in that span. The outfielder is batting .244 with an .838 OPS, four home runs, nine RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and one triple over 106 plate appearances this season. Ruiz could get a longer runway in center field if Jakob Marsee (knee) misses time after exiting Sunday's contest early.

Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Jimenez went yard in the third inning off Gage Jump. Jimenez had started July going 0-for-9 over three games after hitting just .205 over 14 contests in June. He continues to occupy a part-time role in the Marlins' infield, and he hasn't shown enough consistency to carve out a larger share of playing time. Jimenez is hitting .202 with a .571 OPS, one homer, six RBI, 10 runs scored, four doubles and a stolen base over 114 plate appearances.

Lopez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, three total RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Lopez is sizzling with a trio of three-hit games over his last four contests. He's also homered in consecutive games and has at least one extra-base hit in five of his last eight games. For the season, the shortstop is batting .346 with an .896 OPS, nine homers, 43 RBI, 59 runs scored, 25 doubles, five triples and 17 stolen bases through 89 contests.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs, a double and two walks in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Hernandez homered in the first and sixth innings. This was his second multi-homer game of the season, and he's hit nine of his 11 long balls since the start of June. The outfielder is batting .234 with a .771 OPS, 34 RBI, 22 runs scored, six doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 207 plate appearances this season. Hernandez continues to battle with Griffin Conine for playing time in the corner outfield spots.

Perez (5-6) struck out eight over seven perfect innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Perez didn't get a chance to go for history, as manager Clayton McCullough pulled the right-hander at 92 pitches (56 strikes). Lake Bachar then made a mess of things in the eighth inning, and Pete Fairbanks struggled in the ninth, but the Marlins had just enough of a cushion to escape with the win. Perez has allowed just two runs over 17 innings across three starts since he returned from a right gracilis muscle strain. He's at a 3.84 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 89:32 K:BB through 79.2 innings over 15 starts this season. Perez is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.

Perdomo went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.

Perdomo has gone 12-for-40 (.300) with three extra-base hits and two steals over his last 10 games. The shortstop was the only Diamondback with multiple hits in this contest. He's batting .243 on the year while adding a .708 OPS, five home runs, 31 RBI, 39 runs scored, 13 doubles, three triples and 13 steals across 86 contests.

Rodriguez (7-3) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six-plus innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Brewers.

Rodriguez blanked the Brewers for six innings, but he served up a two-run home run to Jake Bauers in the seventh. This was Rodriguez's fourth straight quality start, a span in which he's allowed just four runs over 26.2 innings. He's also avoided walking any batters over his last two outings. For the season, the left-hander is at a 2.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 74:38 K:BB through 108 innings across 18 starts. Rodriguez is lined up to make his next start in a tough test on the road versus the Dodgers.

Bauers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Bauers chased Eduardo Rodriguez from the game with a no-out homer in the seventh inning. This was Bauers' third homer over his last 11 contests, a span in which he's added seven RBI. The 30-year-old is now batting .266 with an .861 OPS, 16 homers, 54 RBI, 51 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 79 games this season.

Megill walked one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks. He didn't record a strikeout.

Megill successfully protected a one-run lead to pick up his 13th save of the season. He's on a 12-inning scoreless streak which began June 10, and he's posted a 15:3 K:BB with four saves, a win and a hold in that span. For the season, the right-hander has a 3.09 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 44:10 K:BB through 35 innings, and he looks much more in control of the closer job thanks to his strong recent form.

Sproat allowed a run on five hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Sproat was inefficient Sunday, throwing 55 of 92 pitches for strikes in this short start. Since the beginning of June, he has allowed 11 runs over 30 innings across six starts. He's at a 5.13 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 84:37 K:BB across 79 innings through 17 games (15 starts) this season, but he's trending in the right direction. Sproat should remain in the rotation even with Logan Henderson (back) slated to return during the coming week, as Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) was shelved following his injury Saturday. Sproat is projected to make his next start at Pittsburgh.
