Tovar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

Tovar gave Colorado its first lead with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. He tacked on a solo homer to provide an insurance run in the seventh, but the Dodgers staged a late comeback to pull off the victory. Monday's long ball was just the second of the season for Tovar through 52 games. The shortstop has had a precipitous power drop, as he went deep 26 times over 157 contests in 2024 and nine times across 95 games last year.

Garcia went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 10-2 win over Cleveland.

Garcia helped fuel Washington's offensive explosion by doubling in his first plate appearance before launching a two-run homer in the second inning to give the Nationals a commanding early lead. The long ball was his fourth of the season. Entering Monday, Garcia had been batting just .216 with two RBI over his previous 12 games. He's now slashing .268/.292/.427 with 10 doubles, 27 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases across 171 plate appearances.

Gordon completed five innings against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out three batters.

Gordon had worked in relief in his previous five outings this season but was called upon to make a start against the back-to-back World Champions. Considering that context, Gordon did very well, holding Los Angeles to only one run despite giving up three doubles among the six hits he allowed. The right-hander notched just five whiffs and three punchouts, but he was in line for the win upon his departure, though the Dodgers ultimately staged a late comeback to nab the victory. Gordon may have earned himself another start with this performance, and if that is the case, he'd be lined up to next face San Francisco.

Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's victory over San Diego.

Schwarber added to his MLB-leading home run total by launching a Griffin Canning changeup over the right-field wall for a solo shot in the first inning. The veteran slugger has been on an outrageous tear of late, crushing 10 homers across his past 14 games and showing little sign of slowing down. Overall, Schwarber is slashing .233/.354/.617 with 21 homers, 37 RBI, 35 runs and a stolen base across 51 contests.

Wood went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 10-2 win over Cleveland.

Wood wasted no time making an impact, leading off the game with a 412-foot homer off Tanner Bibee as part of the Nationals' five-homer barrage against the right-hander. The four-hit performance tied a season high for the young star, who continues to be one of the hottest hitters in baseball. Wood has now reached base safely in 10 of his last 11 games while batting .395 (17-for-43) with eight walks during that stretch. On the season, he is slashing .267/.405/.533 with 14 home runs, 14 doubles, 35 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases.

Treinen earned a save against the Rockies on Monday by striking out the only batter he faced.

Los Angeles held a 5-3 lead heading into the ninth inning and initially turned to lefty Alex Vesia, who retired two of the three batters he faced. When Colorado decided to send up righty Braxton Fulford as a pinch hitter, the Dodgers countered with the right-handed Treinen. That proved to be a fruitful move, as Treinen needed just four pitches to set Fulford down on strikes. The save was Treinen's first in the regular season since April 9 of last year. He hasn't been in the Dodgers' closer mix even with Edwin Diaz (elbow) out of commission, and Tanner Scott remains the team's most desirable target for saves, though he was likely unavailable Monday after having pitched each of the two previous days.

X-rays on Rumfield's right hand came back negative, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Rumfield, who was forced to depart Monday's matchup against the Dodgers after being hit on the hand by a fastball, appears to have avoided a significant injury. The team isn't sure at this time whether Rumfield will miss additional game action, and he can be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Mead went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 10-2 win over Cleveland.

After James Wood opened the game with a leadoff homer, Mead followed shortly after by crushing a two-run shot off Tanner Bibee before Cleveland could even record an out. The third baseman later added another solo homer in the fifth inning to extend Washington's lead, marking his first career multi-homer game. The long balls were his sixth and seventh of the season and he's now homered three times over his last three games. Mead is slashing .241/.353/.491 with eight doubles, 20 RBI, 22 runs scored and three stolen bases across 136 plate appearances.

The Cubs outrighted Lopez to Triple-A Iowa on Monday.

Lopez lost his spot on the 40-man roster Saturday, and after going unclaimed on waivers, he'll stay in the organization and will report to Iowa. He's batting .333 with one home run, eight RBI, two stolen bases and 11 runs scored in 15 appearances so far this season at Triple-A.

Duran picked up the save in Monday's 3-0 victory over the Padres. He allowed a hit and no walks while striking out one over a scoreless inning.

Duran retired the side with minimal resistance, as a Ty France two-out single was all the Padres could muster while the fireballing right-hander secured his 10th save of the campaign. It has largely been dominance in 2026 for Duran, who has allowed runs in just three of his 16 outings, resulting in a 1.72 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB across 15.2 innings with no blown saves. He trails only Mason Miller (16), Riley O'Brien (13) and Paul Sewald (12) on the National League saves leaderboard.
