Trevor Rogers SP | BAL
Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Strikes out five in no-decision
Rogers came away with a no-decision in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mets. He gave up two runs (one earned) on five hits, two walks and five strikeouts over 4.2 innings.
Rogers allowed just two runners to reach the first time through the Mets' order but wasn't as effective the second time, as he ran into jams in the fourth and fifth innings before being pulled. Sunday marked just the second time in his last nine starts that Rogers didn't pitch at least five innings. The 26-year-old has a streak of eight straight outings in which he has allowed fewer than three runs and has at least five strikeouts in five of those eight appearances.

Christian Scott SP | NYM
Mets' Christian Scott: Gives up three runs in loss
Scott (0-3) took the loss Sunday against the Marlins. He allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings while striking out four.
Scott got through the first three innings Sunday before running into trouble in the fourth. He allowed the first two runners to reach before serving up a three-run homer to Jazz Chisholm. He wouldn't come back out for the fifth, making it just the second time in his nine career starts that he couldn't get past the fourth inning. Scott has been plagued by the long ball, as he has given up eight home runs in his first 47.1 innings. The 25-year-old is still looking for his first career win and will carry a 4.56 ERA into his next start.

Padres' Robert Suarez: Picks up four-out save
Suarez earned a save in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Guardians, striking out one and not allowing a hit or a walk in 1.1 scoreless innings.
Suarez came in with a runner on and two out in the eighth to face Bo Naylor and got him to pop out. He came back out for the ninth and pitched a perfect frame to register his 23rd save of the season. The 32-year-old continues to be one of the most dominant closers in baseball this year, as he's now tied for the fourth-most saves and carries a 1.62 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 39 innings.

Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL
Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Picks up 19th steal
Kim went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.
Kim reached on a single in the second inning, and he went on to steal a base and score on a Kyle Higashioka double. Kim now has 19 steals this season, and his 57 swipes since the start of 2023 are tied with Nico Hoerner for the seventh most in MLB in that span. Kim has started all but three games at shortstop for the Padres this season. The 28-year-old is just 9-for-45 over his last 14 games but has solid counting stats for the season with 10 homers, 40 RBI and 51 runs scored over 100 games.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Gets two hits, swipes bag
Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.
Bogaerts has been hot at the plate since his return from a fractured shoulder, with multiple hits in four of five games since being activated. Bogaerts is now 8-for-21 since his return, but he's still looking for his first extra-base hit since May. The stolen base was his fifth of the season, and he could present value in the second half of the season if he keeps up this type of production.

Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL
Braves' Ozzie Albies: Heading to injured list
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said after Sunday's loss to the Cardinals that Albies will go on the injured list due to a left wrist injury, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
The specifics of the issue are unclear as Albies continues to be evaluated, but he suffered the injury while applying a tag on a stolen base during the ninth inning Sunday. The 27-year-old will be out for at least the rest of July but could face a longer absence, depending on the diagnosis.

Michael King SP | SD
Padres' Michael King: Flirts with no-hitter in win
King (8-6) earned the win against Cleveland on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over seven innings while striking out six.
For the second time this season, King threw at least six no-hit innings in a start. The 29-year-old was electric over the first six frames before running into some minor trouble in the seventh, giving up his only run. King joined Paul Skenes, Ronel Blanco and Max Fried as the only pitchers with multiple no-hit bids of at least six innings this season. King also became the first Padres pitcher with multiple no-hit bids in a season since Blake Snell in 2021. The veteran has a 3.28 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 118 innings in his first season in San Diego.
