    Pirates' Connor Joe: Timely hit against Twins

    Joe went 1-for-5 with a triple and two RBI on Sunday against the Twins.

    Joe delivered his lone hit of the game in the fifth inning to give the Pirates a brief lead. He has five RBI and seven runs scored across his last 10 games, though that production has primarily come due to timely hitting as he is just 7-for-38 overall in that span. Joe remains a near everyday player for Pittsburgh, playing primarily in right field against right-handed pitching while shifting to first base against lefties.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | ATL

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Another multi-hit game

    Tellez went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk Sunday against the Twins.

    Tellez has had a miserable start to his tenure in Pittsburgh, though he's begun to turn things around in his last five starts. He has four multi-hit games in that stretch, hitting .529 with seven RBI and three runs scored. Tellez should remain Pittsburgh's primary first baseman against right-handed pitching.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: On base three times Sunday

    Arcia went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

    It's the first time all season the veteran shortstop has drawn multiple free passes in a game. Arcia's rough start to the year has continued into June, and through eight games this month he's batting just .207 (6-for-29), but three of those hits have gone for extra bases -- two doubles and a homer.

  • Phillies' Rafael Marchan: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Phillies returned Marchan to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

    Marchan will head back to Lehigh Valley after he joined the Phillies over the weekend and served as the club's 27th man for its two-game set in London versus the Mets. He didn't appear in either contest and hasn't seen any big-league action since 2021.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Back at Triple-A

    The Mets returned Baty to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

    As expected, Baty will link back up with the Triple-A club after he joined the Mets this past weekend in London to serve as their 27th man for the two-game series versus the Phillies. He started at third base in Sunday's 6-5 win, going 1-for-2.

  • Jake McCarthy LF | COL

    Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Homers in win

    McCarthy went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 9-3 win over San Diego.

    McCarthy put the cap on Arizona's six-run second inning with a two-run shot, his first homer in 16 games. The outfielder is batting .282 and has not been an easy out (.368 OBP) while getting regular work due to Alek Thomas (hamstring) sidelined. Thomas had a setback in his rehab in May and re-started baseball activities last week. He could begin a rehab assignment in the coming days and return by the middle of the month.

  • Tommy Henry SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Credited with Sunday's win

    Henry (2-2) picked up Sunday's win, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one over 2.1 innings against the Padres.

    Henry followed opener Scott McGough and was the pitcher of record when the Diamondbacks scored six times in the second inning. It was a long day for Henry, who was called up from Triple-A Reno late Saturday and flew early Sunday to be in San Diego in time for the game. The left-hander was in Arizona's rotation early this season, and injuries could lead to at least one turn in the coming week. In addition to the injuries, performance may play a role in Henry staying longer. If he pitches well this week, Henry could overtake Slade Cecconi (5.66 ERA), Jordan Montgomery (6.80) or Ryne Nelson (5.96) once the injured starters return.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Strikes out 12 in loss

    Glasnow (6-5) took the loss Sunday against the Yankees, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out 12 in six innings.

    Nearly all the damage against Glasnow came via the long ball. The Yankees opened up the scoring with a solo home run in the third and tacked on an additional run before the inning ended. Trent Grisham later slugged a three-run blast in the sixth to put the Yankees up 5-3 and they would not relinquish the lead from there. The eight hits allowed tied Glasnow's season high and he's now given up at least a home run in five of his last six starts, though it was also his fifth time striking out at least 10 hitters. The 30-year-old will carry a 3.24 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 116:24 K:BB (86 innings) into his next start, which projects to be against the Royals over the weekend.

  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Three hits Sunday

    Lux went 3-for-4 with a steal and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees.

    Lux put together his first three-hit effort of the season while also tallying his third steal of the year. Despite the three base hits, Lux was unable to drive anyone home and remains with just one RBI since May 19. He also hasn't homered since May 7 and has just four extra-base hits since May 22. The 26-year-old is still looking to find some more consistency at the dish, and is now slashing .216/.268/.292 with 13 RBI, 18 runs and a 12:40 BB:K in 183 plate appearances.

  • Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Continues hot stretch at plate

    Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees.

    Hernandez followed up his two-homer effort Saturday with another in the sixth Sunday off Luis Gil to put the Dodgers up 3-2. He's now produced four multi-hit games in a row and has seven extra-base hits over that span. For the year, the 31-year-old is now slashing .266/.333/.516 with 16 homers, 48 RBI, 39 runs and a 23:81 BB:K in 282 plate appearances.
