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.

Gelof went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Pirates on Tuesday.

Pittsburgh was unable to retire Gelof, who collected three of the Athletics' eight hits. He knocked an infield single in the first inning that resulted in three runs, though Gelof was credited with just one RBI, as two of the scores were the result of an error. Gelof added a solo homer in the sixth, but his performance wasn't enough to prevent the Pirates from pulling out the win via a late comeback. Gelof has somewhat quietly put together a 20-game hitting streak, during which he's batting a scorching .372 with four homers, six doubles, 13 runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases.

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.

O'Hoppe went 3-for-4 with a double and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

O'Hoppe has hit well in June, going 12-for-37 (.324) across 12 games this month. The catcher has five extra-base hits and five RBI in that span, though he's also posted a 0:10 BB:K. For the season, O'Hoppe is hitting .235 with a .652 OPS, three home runs, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases over 50 games. He's trending up, but he needs to find a bit more over-the-fence power.

Neto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Neto entered Tuesday's game with no extra-base hits over his previous six contests. He changed that with a third-inning solo shot. The shortstop is batting just .223 on the season, but he's added a .761 OPS, 14 homers, 33 RBI, 50 runs scored, 14 doubles, two triples and 11 stolen bases through 71 contests. His blend of power and speed makes him a reliable source of counting stats in fantasy.

Perkins allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five-plus innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

The A's staked Perkins to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, and he limited the Pirates to just one run through five frames. However, the right-hander began the sixth by serving up a solo homer to Bryan Reynolds followed by a Ryan O'Hearn double before being pulled. O'Hearn eventually came around to score, and a late Pittsburgh comeback removed Perkins from factoring into the decision. The plus side is that Perkins completed five frames for the first time this season, and he reached 85 pitches for the second straight start. It hasn't been the smoothest of transitions for Perkins after he worked out of the bullpen until the beginning of June, but Tuesday's outing was at least a step in the right direction.

Trout went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an RBI double in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Trout took a Merrill Kelly offering 436 feet to center field in the fifth inning for his second homer in as many days. He's gone 9-for-28 (.321) with five extra-base hits, five RBI and two stolen bases during a seven-game hitting streak. Trout is batting .233 with an .866 OPS, 17 homers, 36 RBI, 54 runs scored, 12 doubles and seven steals over 73 contests this season.

Detmers (3-5) allowed three hits and struck out three without walking a batter over seven shutout innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Detmers has been dominant so far in June, allowing just one run on six hits over 20 innings across his three starts this month. He has an 18:2 K:BB in that span as well, though his three strikeouts Tuesday matched his season low. The southpaw is now at a career-best 3.68 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 100:24 K:BB through 88 innings over 15 starts. Detmers is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Athletics, who are responsible for his worst start of the year, an eight-run shelling over 5.2 innings in Anaheim on May 19.
