    Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Struggles against Padres

    Sheehan allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out two over four innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.

    Sheehan gave up a pair of two-run home runs -- Manny Machado took him deep in the first inning and Miguel Andujar did the same in the third. This was the third time in nine outings Sheehan has given up multiple homers, and the four runs allowed matched a season high. He's given up 11 runs across 19.1 innings through four starts in May, though he has a 23:4 K:BB this month. Overall, the right-hander is at a 4.93 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 51:13 K:BB through 45.2 innings this season. Sheehan will look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively projected to come at home versus the Rockies.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Belts homer in loss

    Adames went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Adames is nursing a bruised thumb, but it didn't cost him a start after his early exit Monday. The shortstop has homered in consecutive contests and is batting .400 (16-for-40) over his last 10 games. For the season, he's batting .240 with a .668 OPS, five homers, 15 RBI, 19 runs scored, 14 doubles and a stolen base across 48 games. Adames doesn't often maintain a high batting average, but he should settle in around his current season-long mark once this hot streak fizzles out.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Swats homer in loss

    Devers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Devers got the Giants on the board with his solo shot in the second inning. The first baseman continues to hit well in May -- he's batting .318 (21-for-66) over 18 contests this month, adding four homers and nine RBI. He's hitting .246 with a .693 OPS, six homers, 20 RBI, 19 runs scored, 10 doubles and no stolen bases through 49 contests overall this season.

  • Landen Roupp SP | SF

    Giants' Landen Roupp: Strong in no-decision

    Roupp allowed one run on seven hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    Roupp put together a strong start, but the Giants' bullpen squandered the lead in the ninth inning. This was Roupp's fifth quality start of the year, and it's the sixth time he's held an opponent to one run or fewer. This was also his first no-decision, ending a stretch of three straight losses. He's at a 3.27 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 61:21 K:BB through 55 innings over 10 starts. He has made gains in strikeouts while continuing to limit flyballs, which has served him well in preventing runs. Roupp is projected to make his next start at home in a rematch versus Arizona.

  • Tony Santillan RP | CIN

    Reds' Tony Santillan: Converts save Tuesday night

    Santillan pitched a perfect ninth Tuesday, striking out two Phillies to get his second save of the season.

    That makes two scoreless outings in a row for Santillan, who previously went through a brutal stretch in which he allowed at least one homer in four consecutive games. The Reds are going with the lukewarm hand right now as their closer, grasping at straws to find anyone to stabilize the back end of their bullpen, and they'll Santillan every chance to regain his early-season form -- he sported a 1.98 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB in 13.2 innings at the end of April.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Walk-off blast ends power drought

    Marte went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

    Marte had gone 16 games without a homer entering Tuesday. He was 0-for-4 before coming to bat in the ninth inning, when he delivered the walk-off blast against Matt Gage. Marte struggled early in May, but he's gone 10-for-37 (.270) while hitting safely in seven of his last nine games. The second baseman is batting .222 with a .655 OPS, six homers, 20 RBI, 24 runs scored, six doubles, two triples and no stolen bases over 44 contests this season.

  • Ryne Nelson SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Goes seven innings in no-decision

    Nelson allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday.

    Nelson has worked into the seventh inning in each of his last three outings. He's given up seven runs with an 18:3 K:BB over that span, though he's also allowed four home runs, including two in Tuesday's contest. The right-hander is now at a 5.19 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 46:16 K:BB through 52 innings over 10 starts this season. He'll look to keep his streak of quality starts going at home over the weekend against the Rockies.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Homers during three-hit performance

    Turang went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

    Turang continued his strong 2026 campaign by launching a two-run homer off Trent Thornton in the eighth inning to cap off a three-hit night. The blast was his seventh of the season, and the three-hit performance marked his fifth such game of the year. Over his last 20 contests, Turang is batting 23-for-72 (.319) with an outstanding .424 OBP as he continues to reach base at an elite clip. The second baseman is now batting .292 with a .910 OPS, 10 doubles, 29 RBI, 39 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 198 plate appearances.

  • Tanner Gordon RP | COL

    Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Yields seven runs in bulk relief

    Gordon pitched 6.1 innings in bulk relief Tuesday, giving up seven runs on 12 hits and one walk while striking out five batters in a no-decision against Texas.

    Tuesday marked Gordon's second straight extended relief outing, though his previous appearance -- which lasted four frames -- came as the result of an early injury to Chase Dollander (elbow). By contrast, Gordon's outing Tuesday was a planned bulk-relief appearance, and though he gave the Rockies plenty of length, the right-hander was rocked for a season-worst seven runs. Gordon managed to avoid the loss since opener Sammy Peralta was charged with two runs over his two-thirds of an inning of work, but the former was essentially asked to take one for the team in a game that Colorado lost 10-0. It remains to be seen what Gordon's role will be moving forward. The Rockies have an open rotation spot due to Dollander's injury, but it's not a given that Gordon will be asked to take up that role (either as a starter or a bulk reliever) given his ugly 6.59 ERA on the campaign.

  • Abner Uribe RP | MIL

    Brewers' Abner Uribe: Locks down fifth save Tuesday

    Uribe earned the save Tuesday against the Cubs, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    Uribe entered with a three-run lead and made quick work of the bottom of Chicago's lineup, retiring the side in order to secure his fifth save in seven opportunities this season. The right-hander has struggled to establish consistency in 2026, failing to put together more than three consecutive scoreless appearances at any point, but he seems to be in control of the ninth-inning role as of now. Uribe now owns a 4.42 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB across 18.1 innings this season.
