Miller allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Friday.

Miller limited the damage to a two-run home run by Brooks Lee in the second inning. The Mariners' bullpen couldn't hold the lead, leaving Miller to see his winless skid reach four games, a span in which he's allowed 16 runs (13 earned) over 21.1 innings. His shaky July has taken a little shine off his overall numbers, but he still has a strong 2.80 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 74:13 K:BB through 74 innings over 13 games (12 starts) this season. Miller is projected for a home start versus the Rays next week.

Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Jeffers has hit safely in 11 of 12 games since he returned from a fractured left hamate. He has gone 13-for-45 (.289) with three homers, 10 RBI and two doubles in that span. The catcher continues to provide steady offense at a premium position in fantasy. For the season, he's batting .293 with a .935 OPS, 10 homers, 36 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 49 contests.

Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Lewis extended his hitting streak to six games with his seventh-inning long ball. He has gone 6-for-22 during the streak, adding four RBI and a steal. The homer Friday ended a 13-game power drought for Lewis, though he still hasn't logged a multi-hit game since July 11. For the season, the infielder is batting .216 with a .690 OPS, 11 homers, 34 RBI, 37 runs scored, 10 steals, 13 doubles and a triple over 76 games.

Lee went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Lee got the Twins on the board in the second inning with his homer. The infielder has slumped a bit at the plate, going just 3-for-28 over his last eight games. Despite the downturn, he's maintained a fairly regular spot in the lineup. He's batting .244 with a .725 OPS this season, and he matched his homer total from last year (16) with his long ball Friday. Lee also has 58 RBI, 50 runs scored, 16 doubles, three triples and seven stolen bases over 106 contests this year.

Gomez allowed two walks and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Gomez has collected four saves and two wins over his last eight outings, though he's posted an 8:7 K:BB across eight innings in that span. Despite the slight drama, he was able to slam the door without allowing a run, picking up his 14th save of the season in the process. Gomez has maintained a 3.26 ERA on the year despite a 1.29 WHIP and 45:25 K:BB through 49.2 innings between the Twins and the Rays, and he's yet to blow a save chance while adding six holds. His 1.67 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 32.1 innings with Minnesota paint a more encouraging picture of his performance, giving him decent stability in the closer role depending on how much the Twins reshape their bullpen before the trade deadline.

Matthews allowed three runs on four hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out 10 over five-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.

While Matthews went winless in July, he was able to end the month with a couple of positive outings. Across five starts in July, he allowed a total of 23 runs (21 earned) across 24.2 innings with a 23:14 K:BB. The right-hander still needs to improve on his consistency, but he has potential. He's at a 5.22 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 69:26 K:BB across 81 innings through 14 starts this season. However, it's unclear for now if he'll maintain a rotation spot after the Twins traded for Dean Kremer on Friday.

Rengifo went 1-for-3 with two walks, one stolen base and three runs scored in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Rengifo continues to thrive in a utility role for the Padres. He's now settled in as the No. 2 hitter against southpaws while seeing time at second base, third base, left field and designated hitter over the last week. He's batting .381 (16-for-42) over 13 games since joining the Padres' big-league roster July 8. On the year, the utility man is batting .238 with a .629 OPS, two home runs, five steals, 27 RBI, 29 runs scored and 11 doubles over 70 games between San Diego and Milwaukee.

Tatis went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Tatis has surged since the All-Star break, going 19-for-55 (.345) with seven extra-base hits, three steals and 14 RBI over his last 14 games. The outfielder's overall power numbers remain down compared to previous seasons, but he's made up for it by running at a career-high rate. He's now batting .286 with a .759 OPS, 26 steals on 37 attempts, eight home runs, 49 RBI, 56 runs scored, 22 doubles and two triples over 109 contests.

Campusano went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Campusano has gone 7-for-15 with three RBI over his last four games. The catcher continues to see a decent amount of playing time between his work behind the dish and at designated hitter. On the year, he's batting .306 with a .919 OPS, four home runs, 15 RBI, 14 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases over 36 games. He hit .326 in July after returning from a fractured toe he sustained in May.

Bowen went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

This was Bowen's second multi-hit effort in July, though he hit safely in just four of 20 games during the month. The outfielder continues to fill more of a part-time role, making most of his starts as a platoon partner for Gavin Sheets in left field. Bowen hit .222 in July and is at .167 with a .456 OPS across 63 plate appearances this season. He's added one homer, six RBI, nine runs scored, two doubles and four stolen bases.
