Marte went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional RBI in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.

Marte's homer streak is at four games. They've all been solo shots, but he was able to supply a two-run single prior to his long ball Tuesday. Marte is batting .265 with an .806 OPS, 53 RBI, 47 runs scored, 17 doubles, two triples and one stolen base over 81 contests. He has racked up 49 of his RBI out of the leadoff spot, ranking third in the majors behind James Wood (52) and Shohei Ohtani (50) for RBI from atop the order.

Hill (shoulder) began throwing weighted balls Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

This marks Hill's first activity since landing on the injured list. He hopes to begin playing catch soon.

Gurriel went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.

Gurriel has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with six RBI over his last six games. He's logged four doubles in that span, but the homer Tuesday was his first since May 17, before he sustained a hamstring injury. Gurriel is now batting .226 with a .603 OPS, two homers, 19 RBI, nine runs scored, eight doubles and one stolen base over 36 contests this season. He's settled in as the primary designated hitter since Max Kepler returned from an 80-game suspension to take over a platoon role in left field.

Doyle (oblique) was scratched from a rehab appearance with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday due to groin tightness, MLB.com reports.

Doyle had made four rehab appearances prior to the new injury, collecting four hits across 16 at-bats. The extent of the groin issue is unclear, though it's likely to push back Doyle's potential return by at least a couple of days.

Pfaadt (1-1) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Pfaadt had a good game, and he likely had some more left in the tank after throwing just 66 pitches (42 strikes). He had been stretching back out at Triple-A Reno after a stint in the Diamondbacks' bullpen following his shaky start to the season. The right-hander is now at a 5.40 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 33:18 K:BB through 43.1 innings over 14 appearances (four starts) in the majors this season. Pfaadt is tentatively scheduled for a road start in San Diego if he gets another turn through the rotation.

Chapman was removed from Tuesday's game against Arizona with an apparent right leg injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Chapman seemingly tweaked his right leg while making a play in the field to end the sixth inning, and he had trouble running to first base during his at-bat in the seventh. It's unknown whether the 33-year-old will have to miss additional games, but the Giants may have more details on the severity of his injury after the game.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with two walks and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Padres.

The veteran third baseman connected for his seventh home run of the season in the second inning against San Diego starter JP Sears. Bregman is struggling overall this month with a .200 batting average and 12 RBI in 25 games, and he's yet to really hit his stride in Chicago. His current .690 OPS would be the lowest of his 11-year MLB career.

Rolison retired the only batter he faced to record the save in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Padres.

The lefty Rolison was tapped for a matchup against Jackson Merrill to end the game. As he's done all season, the southpaw shut the door against a left-handed batter, and this time it earned him his first career MLB save. Rolison is limiting lefties to a .152 batting average, and he's recorded 17 strikeouts across 14.1 innings in those matchups. That's helped stake the reliever to a stellar 1.97 ERA overall this year. Rolison isn't Chicago's first option for saves at the moment, but he's quickly earning trust in the team's bullpen.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Padres.

Swanson has started to get his bat going recently with a .340 average, six home runs and a whopping 21 RBI over his last 12 games. The hot stretch is beginning to make up for a rough start to the season for the veteran shortstop. Overall, Swanson is now batting .203 with a .691 OPS, 13 home runs and 49 RBI in 82 contests.

Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jays.

Alvarez launched what proved to be the game-winning homer in the top of the fifth inning. In 19 games since returning from the injured list June 9, the 24-year-old is hitting .265 with five homers, nine RBI and seven runs scored. On the year, he's slashing .250/.313/.439 with nine long balls, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored across just 200 plate appearances.
