  • Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Tallies two thefts in loss

    Dominguez went 1-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases Sunday in a loss to the Reds.

    Dominguez reached base only once, but he made the most of his first-inning single by swiping both second and third base. The talented young outfielder has stolen three bases over his past two contests after going without a theft across his first 14 games of the campaign. Dominguez certainly has the potential to notch plenty of steals given his 82nd percentile sprint speed.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Continues to be active on basepaths

    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases against Cincinnati in a loss Sunday.

    New York racked up six thefts as a team Sunday, but none of the base stealers ended up scoring. Chisholm's stolen bases were his eighth and ninth through 17 contests in June, and he's now up to 23 on the campaign, putting him on pace to surpass his career-best mark of 40 steals, which he established in 2024. Chisholm has complemented his work on the basepaths with 11 homers, and he's one of four major-leaguers so far with at least 10 long balls and 20 thefts on the campaign.

  • Cody Bellinger LF | NYY

    Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Reaches 10 thefts

    Bellinger went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in a loss to the Reds on Sunday.

    Bellinger was one of three Yankees to swipe two bags, but incredibly, none of the thefts led to any runs. Bellinger's steals were his ninth and 10th of campaign, and he's now reached double-digit steals for the seventh time in his career. The veteran outfielder is one of 16 major-leaguers so far in 2026 to reach double-digit homers and thefts.

  • Ben Rice 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Ben Rice: Launches 24th long ball

    Rice went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday in a loss to Cincinnati.

    Rice produced the lone New York run Sunday with a 375-foot solo homer in the third inning. The slugger has shown no signs of slowing down after a hot start to the season -- over his past seven games, he's batting .310 (9-for-29) with four homers and eight RBI. Rice is among the MLB leaders in several categories, including OPS (1.004, second place), homers (22. fourth place) and RBI (53, tied for eighth place).

  • Tristan Peters CF | CHW

    White Sox's Tristan Peters: Knocks in two

    Peters went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Tigers.

    Peters was a primary driver of the White Sox's offense Sunday, doubling in a run in the seventh inning before hitting a sacrifice fly in the 10th frame. This marked Peter's first multi-hit effort in his last nine starts, and he's gone just 5-for-28 in that span. Overall, he's been a source of empty batting average in 210 plate appearances this season, though he has been Chicago's primary center fielder and should remain in that role due to his strong ability with the glove.

  • White Sox's Luisangel Acuna: Slugs first homer

    Acuna went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Tigers.

    Acuna has been limited to a short-side platoon role for most of the season, with his start Sunday marking only his fifth against a righty since the start of May. He did manage to make a positive impression with his opportunity, smacking a two-run home run in the sixth inning off Keider Montero for his first long ball of the season. Acuna's lack of playing time keeps him off the fantasy radar in nearly every format, though he has gone 10-for-24 with five RBI and four runs scored since June 1.

  • Carson Benge RF | NYM

    Mets' Carson Benge: Homers again in loss

    Benge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies.

    After going deep in Saturday's loss, Benge put the Mets on the board with a solo shot to the opposite field in the third inning Sunday, though the club struggled to generate much more offense in the Father's Day defeat. The 23-year-old has steadily improved as the season has progressed and owns a .270 batting average with an .843 OPS, five homers, eight RBI, 14 runs and two stolen bases across 18 games in June. Overall, the outfielder is hitting .257 with a .722 OPS, nine homers, 29 RBI, 42 runs and 11 stolen bases across 74 games while settling in as the club's leadoff hitter.

  • Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Blasts 29th homer

    Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

    After swatting three homers in Saturday's blowout win, Schwarber went deep again with a towering three-run homer in the second inning. The slugger has historically done some of his best work in June, and 2026 has been no exception, as he's slashing .324/.439/.632 with seven homers, 13 RBI and 15 runs scored across 18 games this month. Overall, the 33-year-old is hitting .255/.369/.603 with 52 RBI, 51 runs scored and a league-leading 29 homers in 74 contests.

  • Bryce Harper 1B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Goes yard in three-hit effort

    Harper went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and a double in Sunday's win over the Mets.

    After hitting for the cycle Saturday, Harper fell a triple shy of repeating the feat in Sunday's win. His solo homer in the fifth inning was a line-drive shot to right field that left the bat at a game-high 108.1 mph. The 33-year-old has put together a strong campaign, hitting .266 with an .896 OPS, 17 homers, 44 RBI, 51 runs and five stolen bases across 77 games.

  • David Peterson RP | NYM

    Mets' David Peterson: Roughed up early in sixth loss

    Peterson (3-6) took the loss Sunday, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks over four innings against the Phillies. He struck out five.

    Peterson was ambushed early, as he gave up two runs in the first inning before surrendering a towering, three-run homer to Kyle Schwarber in the second frame. Sunday marked the southpaw's first start since May 26 as he has been moved in and out of the rotation this season with poor results across the board. Peterson owns a 6.09 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 63:30 K:BB across 68 innings (16 appearances) and is tentatively lined up for a rematch with the Phillies next weekend, if the Mets give him another turn in the rotation.
