Realmuto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

Realmuto ended a 29-game homerless drought with his second-inning blast. He missed time due to back spasms during that stretch. The catcher is batting a meager .206 (13-for-63) over 18 contests in May, with just three of his hits going for extra bases. On the year, he's hitting .231 with a .621 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, 11 runs scored and a stolen base over 35 games.

Harper went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and a second run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

Harper had gone seven games without a homer entering Tuesday, one contest shy of his longest power drought of the season. The first baseman's blast opened the scoring in the first inning. He's up to 13 homers, 33 RBI, 33 runs scored, four stolen bases, 10 doubles and a triple while hitting .272 with a .900 OPS over 55 games this year. Staying healthy will be important, but Harper is on pace for his most homers in a year since he had 35 in 2021.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

Turner had gone 0-for-16 with one walk and six strikeouts over his previous four games. He snapped out of the slump in his second at-bat Tuesday, hitting a solo shot off Randy Vasquez in the third inning. Turner later picked up a steal, his 10th of the season in 11 attempts. The shortstop is batting .225 with a .626 OPS, six home runs, 17 RBI, 33 runs scored and nine doubles over 54 contests this season. He's hitting just .189 (18-for-95) in May.

Duran struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

Duran retired the side on 14 pitches (10 strikes) to pick up his second save in as many days. He's racked up 11 saves this season, including six in May while allowing just two runs with an 18:5 K:BB over 10 innings this month. Duran has a 1.62 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB through 16.2 innings on the year. All of Duran, Brad Keller and Orion Kerkering have pitched the last two days, which could leave the Phillies' bullpen thin if a save chance surfaces Wednesday. Jose Alvarado has been shaky lately but hasn't pitched since last Wednesday, so he'd be fresh if called upon.

Nola (3-4) allowed two runs on three hits and struck out five without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Nola had allowed 13 runs across 13.1 innings over his last three starts, though he was fortunate to take just one loss in that span. He was better this time around, limiting the damage to a two-run home run by Manny Machado in the fourth inning after the Phillies had built up a four-run lead. Nola has walked zero batters three times over his last five outings, though he's also maxed out at five strikeouts (three times) in those games. He's now at a 5.72 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 56:18 K:BB through 56.2 innings over 11 starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home in a rematch with the Padres.

Arenado was removed from Tuesday's game against the Giants with right groin tightness.

Arenado went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored before making his exit from Tuesday's game in the seventh inning. Although the 35-year-old wasn't able to finish the contest, the Diamondbacks don't seem to be very concerned about his injury and won't send him in for imaging, per Jack Sommers of SI.com. Jose Fernandez entered as Arenado's replacement and would be the favorite to start at the hot corner should Arenado need to miss a game or two.

Hernandez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies with a left oblique strain.

Hernandez went 2-for-2 with a home run and an additional run scored Tuesday before coming out of the game in the fifth inning. The Dodgers haven't offered any information regarding the severity of his strain, though there's a strong chance that it will force the 34-year-old utility man back to the injured list after he'd just made his return from an elbow injury Monday.

Harris went 4-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Red Sox.

After a 2-for-12 weekend against the Nationals, Harris' bat heated right back up in the series opener against Boston, as he logged his second four-hit game of the month. In 33 games since April 19, Harris is 39-for-118 (.331) at the plate with nine homers, 24 RBI and 18 runs scored. For the season, the 25-year-old is slashing .304/.332/.533 with 12 homers, 32 RBI, 25 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 7:37 BB:K across 193 trips to the dish. He's in the 93rd percentile or better in xBA (.298), xSLG (.560), average exit velocity (93.3 mph), barrel rate (16.1 percent) and hard-hit rate (55.6 percent), suggesting Harris' results are real.

Marsh was diagnosed with a right middle finger sprain following his removal from Tuesday's game against San Diego, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.

Marsh suffered the injury sliding back into first base while getting picked off in the first inning. He's slated to undergo further evaluation, and a timeline for his return will likely take shape once the Phillies get his results back. He can be considered day-to-day in the meantime, though Edmundo Sosa could be in line for extra starts in the outfield if Marsh has to sit.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Red Sox.

With Atlanta trailing 2-0 in the top of the fifth inning, Olson took a first-pitch sinker from lefty Ranger Suarez deep to right field for his 15th homer of the season. It snapped a 13-game home run drought for the 32-year-old, who had seen his average drop 33 points in that span. Olson has just four multi-hit games this month. He's slashing .263/.343/.554 with the 15 home runs, 44 RBI, 38 runs scored, one stolen base and a 26:57 BB:K across 242 plate appearances this season.
