Schwarber went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Marlins.

With Tuesday's solo shot, Schwarber became the first player in the major leagues this season to slug 25 home runs. The All-Star slugger also started at first base, marking just his second appearance at the position this year and his first since 2021 with the Red Sox. Schwarber is batting .249 with 35 extra-base hits, 43 RBI, 46 walks and 44 runs scored across 315 plate appearances in 2026.

Steer went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

Steer capped off Cincinnati's four-run first inning by taking Kodai Senga deep for a solo shot, his 11th homer of the season. The 27-year-old has been stuck in a deep slump lately, going just 2-for-32 over his last 11 games with both hits leaving the yard. Despite the recent struggles, Steer has still provided solid production this season, batting .249 with a .770 OPS, 12 doubles, 28 RBI, 42 runs scored and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances.

Stewart went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and four RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

After Cincinnati opened the game with back-to-back walks, Stewart quickly capitalized by launching a three-run homer off Kodai Senga to give the Reds an early lead. He wasn't done there, adding an RBI single in the fifth inning to cap off a four-RBI performance. The long ball was Stewart's 14th of the season. The outburst was encouraging given his recent struggles, as he entered Tuesday batting just .184 with a .584 OPS in June. On the year, Stewart is slashing .252/.350/.456 with 13 doubles, 46 RBI, 39 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 72 games.

Singer (3-6) earned the win Tuesday against the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings.

Singer got off to a strong start, retiring the first six batters he faced before running into trouble in the middle innings. The right-hander allowed seven total baserunners across the third and fourth innings but limited the damage to just one run on a Bo Bichette RBI-single after stranding the bases loaded in both frames. The three hits allowed were a season low, as his 1.61 WHIP this season illustrates the traffic he has allowed on the bases. Singer now owns a 5.32 ERA and 52:23 K:BB across 66 innings and is slated to face the Brewers at home in his next start.

Reynolds went 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs, three total runs and three total RBI in a 6-5 win against the Athletics on Tuesday.

The A's got off to a 4-0 lead after one inning, but Pittsburgh managed to come back largely on the strength of Reynolds' bat. The veteran outfielder clubbed a solo shot in the sixth inning to close the deficit to two runs, and then tied the score 5-5 with a two-run blast to right field in the seventh. Reynolds extended his on-base streak to 23 games, a stretch during which he's batting .361 with six homers, eight doubles, 13 RBI, 19 runs and two stolen bases. That's pushed his season OPS to .870, his highest mark since the 2021 campaign.

Senga (0-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Reds, allowing four runs on four hits while striking out five over four innings in his return from the injured list.

Making his first start since April 26, Senga's return from the injured list got off to a disastrous beginning. Before recording his first out, he served up a three-run homer to Sal Stewart, and later in the opening frame Spencer Steer added a solo shot. To Senga's credit, he settled in afterward and held Cincinnati hitless over the next three innings, topping out at 97.9 mph with his fastball, but the damage had already been done. The outing did little to improve what has been a difficult season for the right-hander, as his ERA remained at an ugly 9.00. He also owns a 1.88 WHIP and a 28:17 K:BB across 24 innings and will seek to collect his first win of the season in his next start, slated to be against the Cubs.

Soto recorded a save against the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing two hits and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

Pittsburgh took its first lead on a Brandon Lowe solo homer in the top of the ninth inning, and then turned the ball over to Soto to close out the comeback. It wasn't an entirely smooth outing for the left-hander, as he allowed a pair of one-out singles to put the tying and winning runs on base. However, Soto struck out Tyler Soderstrom before getting Jacob Wilson to line out to end the game. Soto picked up his third save over the past seven days and is now 11-for-14 in save chances on the campaign. He's established himself as the Pirates' clear-cut closer and already has his most saves since recording 30 for the Tigers in 2022.

Kelly (5-6) allowed six runs on 11 hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Tuesday.

This was Kelly's third consecutive loss. He pitched a scoreless first inning but was tagged for at least one run in each of the next five frames, creating a deficit too large for the Diamondbacks to escape. During his skid, Kelly has given up 15 runs over 16.1 innings while posting a 9:6 K:BB. He's at a 5.81 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 42:28 K:BB through 69.2 innings over 12 starts this season. His velocity has been stable compared to the last couple of years, but a back injury that delayed his start to the season may have disrupted his rhythm. Kelly is projected to make his next start in St. Louis early next week.

Keller allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out seven batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Tuesday.

Keller got off to a miserable start, walking three of the first four batters he faced on the way to giving up four runs in the first inning. The right-hander was able to pull it together thereafter, and the only other run he allowed came on a Zack Gelof long ball in the sixth. Keller needed 38 pitches to get through the first frame, yet he managed to spare Pittsburgh's bullpen from being overly taxed by getting through his remaining 4.1 innings on 58 pitches. It was actually the deepest Keller has gone since May 24, as he'd given up five-plus earned runs while tossing fewer than five frames in each of his previous three outings coming into Tuesday.

Scott struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Rays.

Scott retired the side on 11 pitches (nine strikes) to preserve the narrow lead. This was his third scoreless outing in a row, and he's earned a save in each of them, giving him nine saves in 10 chances this season. The trusty southpaw has added a 2.32 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 38:3 K:BB through 31 innings. He has pitched two days in a row, so Alex Vesia or Blake Treinen could be called upon for a save chance if one surfaces Wednesday.
