Freeman went 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Freeman has earned his most consistent playing time of the season since being activated from the injured list June 14. Since rejoining the active roster, he's started eight of 10 games while going 10-for-32 with four RBI and nine runs scored. Freeman also has two three-hit performances in his last three contests.

Castro went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Castro has swung the bat well for all of June, with this marking his sixth multi-hit effort in 18 starts. He's hit .324 with 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases in that span. Castro has established himself as a key part of Colorado's lineup, as he's served as the leadoff hitter against lefties across the last month, and he's primarily hit second against righties for the past two weeks.

Manaea did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings.

Manaea wasn't helped by the defense behind him, as the Mets committed two infield errors while he was on the mound. He allowed back-to-back doubles to open the second inning to bring in the first run against him, then five straight Cubs reached base in the fourth -- one via an error -- to force his early exit. Despite the short outing, Manaea still generated 10 swinging strikes. He has now posted a 3.86 ERA and 22:5 KBB in five outings as a starter or bulk reliever, with Wednesday's showing being the most earned runs he's allowed in that role so far. The 34-year-old is set for a road outing against Toronto next time out.

Carrigg went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Carrigg played a key role in the Rockies' win, driving in a run with a single in the seventh inning before doubling in an additional run one frame later. The performance continued a strong homestand for Carrigg, as he's tallied at least one hit in five straight games while also tacking on three runs and a pair of doubles in that span. Carrigg has performed well in his first 58 plate appearances in the majors, striking out at only a 20.7 percent clip while hitting .271 and maintaining a 139 wRC+.

Bericoto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.

Bericoto has played sparingly in his time on the big-league roster. The outfielder was in the starting lineup Wednesday, and he delivered some heroics with a walk-off blast versus Elvis Alvarado in the ninth inning. Two of Bericoto's four hits have been solo shots. He's firmly in a reserve role at this time.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.

Devers tied the game at 1-1 with a ninth-inning blast off Elvis Alvarado. This was Devers' third homer in his last seven games, all of which have been solo shots. The infielder is now batting .239 with a .739 OPS, 12 homers, 38 RBI, 36 runs scored, 23 doubles and a triple over 79 contests this season, and he's yet to attempt a stolen base.

Mahle allowed two hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Wednesday.

Mahle missed about four weeks due to a hamstring strain. He was pretty good in his return, throwing 44 of 70 pitches for strikes, but the Giants didn't get on the board until the ninth inning, leaving him with a no-decision. On the year, Mahle has a 5.49 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 61:26 K:BB over 62.1 innings across 12 starts. The veteran right-hander's time off while injured could help him reset after his poor form to begin the campaign. He is lined up to make his next start on the road in Arizona.

Bart went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to San Diego.

Bart was traded to Atlanta from Pittsburgh last Thursday and has played in four games with his new team. He collected his first two hits for Atlanta on Wednesday, including a sixth-inning homer that accounted for the club's only runs. On the year, the catcher is batting .246 with a .665 OPS, three homers, nine RBI, 10 runs scored and a double over 25 contests. Bart is likely to fill a backup role behind Drake Baldwin, though with Baldwin struggling lately, Bart could poach some starts against left-handed pitchers.

Perez (6-4) allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four over four-plus innings to take the loss Wednesday versus San Diego.

Perez didn't have his best command Wednesday, throwing just 42 of 82 pitches for strikes. James Karinchak allowed an inherited runner to score after Perez put the first two batters aboard in the fifth inning, and that run ended up being the difference in the game. Perez is now at a 3.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 60:27 K:BB through 72 innings over 16 games (12 starts) this season. The veteran left-hander has yet to allow more than four runs in a game this year, making him a reliable starter more often than not. Perez is projected to make his next start at home versus the Cardinals.

Bowen went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Atlanta.

Bowen hadn't collected a hit since June 8 versus the Reds. He's served as a part-time option in the outfield, most often working in right field when Fernando Tatis is at second base. Bowen is hitting just .133 with a .355 OPS, three steals and three runs scored over 32 plate appearances this season.
