Cabrera allowed three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Wednesday.

Cabrera yielded only three hits -- all singles -- but put four batters on base on free passes. Three of those walks went to the final eight hitters he faced, and the right-hander ran out of steam in the sixth after getting through five frames without allowing a run. Cabrera departed in the sixth with the bases loaded after letting three straight batters get aboard, and all three of those runners later came around to score. Cabrera walked five batters in his previous start, so he has now issued nine free passes over 10 innings across his past two appearances. That isn't a recipe for success, though he's managed to keep afloat by yielding a manageable four earned runs over that span.

Taylor was removed from Wednesday's game against the Giants due to left groin tightness.

Taylor appeared to suffer the injury while rounding first base after hitting a double in the seventh inning, and he didn't look comfortable while walking off the field with one of the Dodgers' trainers. Cavan Biggio entered the game as Taylor's replacement and may be in line to start should the 33-year-old need to miss any amount of time.

Vientos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Yankees.

Vientos knocked in the first and last runs during the Mets' eighth-inning rally, opening the inning with a solo shot before adding a sacrifice fly. The infielder is batting .294 (20-for-68) with three homers and 10 RBI over 18 contests in July as he continues to hold down a starting role at third base. For the year, he's slashing .290/.345/.545 with 13 homers, 35 RBI, 30 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases over 220 plate appearances.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Yankees.

Alonso was one of two Mets to reach the 20-homer threshold this season, as both he and Francisco Lindor hit the mark in this blowout win. Alonso has come out of the gates swinging in the second half, going 7-for-23 (.304) over six games since the All-Star break. The first baseman is at a .244/.324/.458 slash line with 53 RBI, 57 runs scored, two stolen bases and 23 doubles through 101 contests this season.

Taylor went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Yankees.

Taylor provided a surprise spark from the bottom of the lineup, going yard in the third inning and adding an RBI single in the sixth. The outfielder has hit modestly in July, going 11-for-45 (.244) with six extra-base hits over 15 contests this month. For the season, he's at a .233/.274/.401 slash line with six homers, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored, six stolen bases, 10 doubles and three triples across 216 plate appearances. Taylor may see a short-term uptick in playing time while Harrison Bader recovers from a rolled ankle he sustained Tuesday.

Lindor went 3-for-6 with two home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Yankees.

For the second time in three games, Lindor crushed multiple homers. His outburst Wednesday was the driving force in the Mets' blowout win. The shortstop has done it all in July, batting .308 (24-for-78) with eight homers, 20 RBI, 15 runs scored and five stolen bases over 20 contests this month. The surge has him up to a .259/.338/.479 slash line with 21 homers, 60 RBI, 68 runs scored and 20 steals in 101 games this year. Lindor is the second member of the 20-20 club this year, joining Shohei Ohtani.

Manaea allowed two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Wednesday.

Manaea came up an out short of qualifying for the win, though he labored through the appearance with 103 pitches (57 strikes). The two runs on his line came on solo home runs by Gleyber Torres and Juan Soto. Manaea has allowed more than three runs just once in his last eight outings, but he's had trouble pitching deep into games. For the season, the southpaw has a 3.74 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 101:45 K:BB through 106 innings over 20 starts. His next start is projected to come at home versus the Twins.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a triple and a stolen base in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to the Padres.

Garcia snapped an 0-for-7 skid at the plate and also picked up his first steal since July 5. The infielder is up to 13 thefts on 16 attempts this season. He's added a .278/.308/.442 slash line with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 34 runs scored and 17 doubles over 87 contests, putting him on pace for a career year in nearly every offensive category, though he remains limited to a strong-side platoon role at second base.

Yepez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to the Padres.

Yepez helped the Nationals to a hot start with his first-inning blast, but it was all Padres after that. The 26-year-old is still yet to be held hitless in his Washington career, and his power has come around with two homers and two doubles over five games since the All-Star break. He's batting .368 with two homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, one stolen base and eight doubles over 15 contests in the majors this year.

Parker (5-6) allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over three innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Wednesday.

The six runs allowed were a season high for Parker, who has given up at least four runs in four of his last six starts. He struggled in his last outing before the All-Star break and labored through his three frames Wednesday as well. The rookie southpaw is now at a 4.34 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 81:24 K:BB through 95.1 innings over 18 starts this year. Parker's next start is projected to be at Arizona.
