Jackson Chourio LF | MIL
Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Early homer in loss
Chourio went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Athletics.
Chourio's blast opened the scoring in the top of the first inning, but the Athletics had more power as the game went on. The outfielder has hit well to start June, going 15-for-39 (.385) over his first nine games this month. Overall, he's batting .301 with an .852 OPS, five homers, 19 RBI, 23 runs scored, five stolen bases and 11 doubles across 31 contests this season.

Robert Gasser SP | MIL
Brewers' Robert Gasser: Lit up for six runs
Gasser (0-3) allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings to take the loss versus the Athletics on Tuesday.
The hitter-friendly Las Vegas Ballpark has lived up to its reputation in the first two games of this series. Gasser gave up all six runs he allowed on four home runs, and the Brewers weren't able to bail him out. Through four starts this season, Gasser has had mixed results at best. He's posted a 6.38 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB while allowing six homers across 18.1 innings. The bottom half of Milwaukee's rotation is still in flux, so it's not obvious when Gasser will make his next appearance, especially since the team has off days Thursday and Monday.

Edouard Julien 2B | COL
Rockies' Edouard Julien: Knocks in three
Julien went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Cubs.
Julien has been in the lineup for most matchups against righties across the last two weeks and in nine of Colorado's last 11 games overall. He's gone 8-for-26 with five RBI and six runs scored in that span. In Tuesday's win, Julien delivered an RBI double in the second inning and knocked in two with a single one frame later.

Brenton Doyle CF | CHW
Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Still no baseball activity
Doyle (oblique) has yet to resume baseball activity, MLB.com reports.
Doyle is feeling no pain in his oblique when doing everyday activities, but he apparently isn't feeling well enough to make meaningful progress toward a return. He does not have a targeted return date, but late June looks to be the best-case scenario.

Jordan Beck RF | COL
Rockies' Jordan Beck: Resumes throwing
Beck (hamstring) has resumed throwing on the field, MLB.com reports.
Beck has been cleared to run and throw, but he has no additional activity scheduled beyond that. His timeline for a return remains unclear.

Grant Holmes SP | ATL
Braves' Grant Holmes: Takes no-decision in short start
Holmes did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.
Holmes turned in his shortest start of the season Tuesday, as the right-hander surrendered a two-run homer to Miguel Vargas in the third inning before allowing another run to score in the fourth. After that run crossed the plate, Holmes loaded the bases and was lifted before he could escape the jam. While the abbreviated outing was disappointing, Holmes has done a decent job limiting damage this season, holding opponents to three or fewer runs in 12 of his 13 starts. He now owns a 4.05 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 59:29 K:BB across 66.2 innings and is lined up to face the Mets in his next start.

Mickey Moniak LF | COL
Rockies' Mickey Moniak: No change of directon
Moniak (ankle) has not begun testing his ability to change direction while running, MLB.com reports.
The positive news is that Moniak has resumed hitting and throwing, while also doing some running. However, he has not been scheduled to test his ability to change direction, meaning he is still some time away from returning.

Chase Dollander SP | COL
Rockies' Chase Dollander: Working on follow-up exam
Dollander (elbow) is trying to schedule a follow-up exam with Dr. Keith Meister, MLB.com reports.
Dollander has been sidelined since May 15 with a right elbow sprain, and he was originally scheduled to be shut down for 2-to-3 weeks. The report suggests that surgery still isn't a possibility, but instead that Dollander and the team want all of the information before moving forward with his recovery plan. Dollander looks likely to remain sidelined into the second half of the season.

Cole Carrigg CF | COL
Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Strokes triple in MLB debut
Carrigg went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk in Tuesday's 7-3 win against the Cubs.
Carrigg was called up from Triple-A on Tuesday and started in center field while batting seventh. The 24-year-old flashed his speed in his big-league debut when he legged out a triple on a ball he hit down the right-field line. Carrigg could earn himself an everyday role if he hits well immediately, especially given that outfielders Jordan Beck (hamstring), Mickey Moniak (ankle), Brenton Doyle (oblique) and Tyler Freeman (concussion) are all currently on the injured list.

Alec Burleson 1B | STL
Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Blasts ninth homer Tuesday
Burleson went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-0 win against the Mets.
Burleson did his damage in back-to-back plate appearances against Freddy Peralta -- a two-run homer in the fifth, followed by a seventh-inning RBI double. He has now hit safely in nine straight games, recording five multi-hit performances during that stretch. Burleson is batting .329 over his last 20 games, pushing his season line to .293/.360/.472 with nine homers, a team-leading 17 doubles, 46 RBI and 33 runs scored across 275 plate appearances.
