  • Sean Bouchard RF | COL

    Rockies' Sean Bouchard: Productive in return to majors

    Bouchard went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Monday against the Guardians.

    Bouchard was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday to replace Jordan Beck (hand). He's started both games in left field since, batting seventh and eighth in the lineup. Bouchard should have some consistent playing time in front of him, as Nolan Jones (back) is still at least a few days away from beginning a new rehab assignment.

  • Braves' Michael Harris: Swipes bag in loss

    Harris went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

    Batting seventh in an Atlanta lineup that got juggled around in the wake of a season-ending knee injury to Ronald Acuna, Harris reached base twice for the fourth time in the last six games. The 23-year-old center fielder is still looking to regain his usual form, but he's showing signs of heating up -- over his last 16 contests, he's slashing .290/.333/.403 with two of his five homers and three of his eight steals on the year.

  • Adam Duvall CF | ATL

    Braves' Adam Duvall: Goes yard again Monday

    Duvall went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

    He took a tiring Mitchell Parker deep in the seventh inning, giving Duvall his second homer in as many days and his fifth of the year. The veteran outfielder will move out of his short-side platoon role and take over as Atlanta's everyday right fielder due to Ronald Acuna (knee) being lost for the season, but if Duvall's .209/.303/.407 slash line doesn't improve, the team might give J.P. Martinez a look instead.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Bats second in return

    Riley went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

    Seeing his first game action since May 12, Riley looked a bit rusty but appeared fully recovered from an intercostal strain. The third baseman hit second in the order with lefty Mitchell Parker on the bump for the Nats, and that could be his new home in the batting order against southpaws with Atlanta shuffling things around in the wake of a season-ending knee injury for Ronald Acuna. Through 167 plate appearances this year, Riley is slashing a disappointing .238/.311/.377 with three homers and 18 RBI.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Drives in run in return

    Murphy went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

    Seeing his first MLB action since Opening Day, Murphy hit fifth in the order and brought home Marcell Ozuna with a groundout in the seventh inning. With Ronald Acuna (knee) lost for the season, Atlanta needs Murphy to quickly regain the form that saw him set career highs with 21 homers and an .843 OPS in 2023.

  • Marlins' Jazz Chisholm: Generates team's only run

    Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a stolen base in a loss to the Padres on Monday.

    Chisholm notched two of Miami's four hits in the contest and produced the team's only run with a third-inning solo shot. The center fielder added a swipe of third base in the eighth inning to give him 10 thefts on the campaign. Chisholm is working on a six-game hitting streak during which he's gone 9-for-23 with three doubles, two homers, three RBI and four runs.

  • Donovan Solano 1B | TEX

    Padres' Donovan Solano: Slugs first homer

    Solano went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-1 win over Miami.

    Solano came into the contest having gone 2-for-13 over his previous seven contests, but he broke the slump with a second-inning solo homer for the game's first run. The long ball was his first as a member of the Padres after joining the organization on a minor-league deal in mid-April. Solano has never been much of a power hitter, but he's consistently demonstrated good contact skills and is slashing .321/.441/.464 in limited opportunities this season.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Effective in no-decision

    Rogers allowed one run on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against San Diego on Monday.

    Rogers allowed a second-inning solo homer to Donovan Solano but otherwise kept the Padres off the scoreboard. He notched just four swings-and-misses and three punchouts but managed to get to within two outs of a quality start. Rogers has struggled mightily this season with a 5.65 ERA through 11 outings, and his mediocre 7.8 K/9 -- which is on pace for a career-worst mark -- has further kept him from being a fantasy asset.

  • Robert Suarez RP | ATL

    Padres' Robert Suarez: Keeps rolling for 16th save

    Suarez earned a save against the Marlins on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

    Suarez was summoned in the ninth frame to protect a one-run lead and had no trouble doing so, retiring the side in order on 14 pitches. The right-hander came into the campaign with a loose grip on the ninth-inning role for the Padres but has emerged as one of the league's top first-half closers with 16 saves (in 16 chances) while posting a 0.73 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB over 24.2 innings. Prior to this season, Suarez had just one save over 71 major-league appearances.

  • Michael King SP | SD

    Padres' Michael King: Settles for no-decision Monday

    King allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Miami on Monday.

    King pitched very well in the outing, but San Diego wasn't able to put its second run on the board until the seventh frame, preventing him from picking up a second consecutive victory. The only run the right-hander allowed came on a third-inning homer by Jazz Chisholm. King has given up one or zero runs in three of his past five starts and has racked up a 34:8 K:BB across 30 innings over that span. He's tentatively slated to make his next start in Kansas City.
