  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Suffers 12th loss

    Corbin (2-12) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Giants. He struck out six.

    Things went awry for the veteran southpaw out the gate, as he allowed a leadoff 416-foot homer to Tyler Fitzgerald. Corbin allowed another homer of the three-run variety to Matt Chapman in the third inning, cementing his 12th loss, tying him for the most in the league. It's been another rough season for the 35-year-old, as he now sports a 5.88 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 127 innings on the year. Corbin is currently scheduled to face the Angels at home in his next start this weekend.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Goes deep twice in win

    De La Cruz went 4-for-5 with two homers, two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins.

    De La Cruz was a monster on Monday with four extra-base hits in a dominant performance. He reached 20 homers for the season, making him the third player in Reds history with 20 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season. De La Cruz also joined Barry Larkin in 1995 as the only Reds players with 50 extra-base hits and 50 stolen bases in a single season. The 22-year-old is hitting .261/.347/.496 with fantastic counting stats through 110 games.

  • Andre Pallante SP | STL

    Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Gives up five runs in loss

    Pallante (4-6) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

    Pallante worked in and out of trouble over the first four frames Monday, giving up only one run before running into a buzzsaw in the fifth that was capped by a three-run double by Tyrone Taylor. Pallante has pitched well since joining the rotation in late May, posting a 3.61 ERA over 52.1 frames covering 10 starts, but Monday's outing was his fourth start in that span in which he allowed four runs or more. He should get more opportunities to start as long as Lance Lynn remains out, but his days as a starter could end when Lynn returns to the fold.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Homers again in win

    Chapman went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Monday's win against the Nationals.

    The Giants third baseman smashed a 409-foot, three-run homer off Patrick Corbin in the third inning to notch his third straight game with a long ball. Chapman has been on fire since the All-Star break, batting .311 (19-for-61) with five homers, five doubles, three steals, 15 runs scored and 11 RBI across 17 games. The two-time Platinum Glover has been a fantasy stalwart this season, slashing .246/.334/.444 while going 12-for-13 in steal attempts with 78 runs scored and 54 RBI over 476 plate appearances.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Blasts 10th home run

    McNeil went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Cardinals.

    McNeil took Shawn Armstrong deep in the sixth inning to continue his sudden surge at the plate. The veteran is hitting .348 with five home runs and 16 RBI over his last 20 games. McNeil has now reached double-digit home runs in each of his last two seasons after not doing so since 2019. The Mets will head to Coors Field on Tuesday, although they are scheduled to face two lefties in the three-game series, and McNeil has been mostly playing against righties.

  • Camilo Doval RP | SF

    Giants' Camilo Doval: Snags 21st save

    Doval picked up the save in Monday's 4-1 victory over Washington, striking out the side in a clean inning.

    The San Francisco closer locked down his 90th career save with authority, punching out three straight Nationals on just 13 pitches. This outing was a welcome sight for Doval, as he had allowed runs in three of his last five appearances, pitching to an 8.31 ERA with 5:3 K:BB across 4.1 innings. Overall, the 27-year-old flamethrower now sports a 4.29 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 56:26 K:BB in 42 innings this season.

  • Sean Manaea SP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Dominant in eighth win

    Manaea (8-4) picked up the win Monday, scattering six hits over seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory against the Cardinals. He struck out 10.

    Manaea tossed a gem for his second consecutive outing, the first time since 2018 in which he throws back-to-back starts of seven innings without allowing an earned run. Manaea picked up double-digit strikeouts in consecutive starts for the first time in his career. The 32-year-old is 5-1 with a 2.28 ERA over his last 10 starts, the fourth-best ERA in the National League over that span.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Secures ninth win

    Webb (9-8) earned the win Monday against Washington, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

    The San Francisco right-hander survived a hot afternoon at Nationals Park, tossing 95 pitches in this outing as the Washington lineup worked counts. Webb has now issued three or more walks in four of his last seven starts, pitching to a 4.03 ERA with 35:16 K:BB across 44.2 innings. Overall, the 27-year-old sports a 3.42 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 125:39 K:BB in 150 innings this season. Webb currently lines up to make his next start against the Tigers in Detroit this weekend.

  • Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol: Returns from injured list

    Graterol (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Graterol joined the club earlier in the day after finishing up a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he'll be available out of the bullpen Monday evening following this latest move. The 25-year-old has yet to appear in a big-league game this season but was excellent a year ago for LA, posting a 1.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with a 48:10 K:BB and seven saves in eight chances over 67.1 frames.

  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Placed on IL

    Treinen was moved to the 15-day injured list Monday due to left hip discomfort, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    It's unknown as to when this injury first surfaced for Treinen, but it's significant enough to shut him down for at least the next 15 days. Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.
