Seager went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 11-2 loss to the Astros.

In his first game since June 30, Seager singled in his first at-bat before adding a double and scoring a run in the sixth inning. It's been a disappointing year for the oft-injured 32-year-old, who's slashing .189/.297/.384 with 10 homers, 25 RBI, 29 runs scored and one steal across 222 plate appearances.

Diaz went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 11-2 win over the Rangers.

Diaz was a thorn in the Rangers' side all game with four base knocks, including a solo shot in the seventh. The 27-year-old has now posted back-to-back four-hit efforts with a home run, and he'll finish July with an .891 OPS and five homers over 16 games. For the year, he's slashing .261/.287/.427 with eight long balls, 26 RBI and 24 runs scored across 209 plate appearances.

Brown (3-1) earned the win against the Rangers on Friday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Brown opened with five scoreless innings before allowing two runs in the sixth, falling one out shy of a quality start on a season-high 104 pitches. The 27-year-old generated only nine whiffs but yielded just four hard-hit balls en route to his second straight victory. He owns a 3.42 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 55:30 K:BB across 52.2 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Blue Jays next week.

Senga (0-8) took the loss against the Marlins on Friday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out four across four-plus innings.

Senga was thrust into the starting role Friday after Freddy Peralta was scratched ahead of Monday's trade deadline. Senga retired 11 of the first 12 batters he faced, but the script flipped in the fifth after he allowed the first three batters of the frame to reach base, which resulted in the veteran right-hander being tagged for three runs, and eventually, the loss. Senga has not been credited with a win since June 12, 2025 against the Nationals, and for the 2026 season, he has an 8.66 ERA and 1.77 WHIP over 44.2 innings. Senga could still see some starts over the final two months of the season depending on what the Mets do with their rotation before the deadline.

Eovaldi (10-9) took the loss against the Astros on Friday, allowing six runs on 10 hits and one walk with five strikeouts over five innings.

Eovaldi threw 60 of 94 pitches for strikes with a respectable 14 whiffs, but he allowed two homers and 12 hard-hit balls overall. It ended an underwhelming July for the veteran hurler, who posted a 5.67 ERA over five starts while yielding three earned runs or more in four of them. He'll take a 4.31 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 135:30 K:BB across 127.1 innings this season into a home matchup with the Giants next week.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during the Mets' 5-2 loss to the Marlins on Friday.

Lindor made the score look more respectable with a solo home run in the seventh to reduce the Mets' deficit to three runs. It hasn't been a great year at the plate for Lindor, but he appears to be finding his form in the second half of the regular season. He'll end the month of July with an .860 OPS with six home runs and 17 RBI over 107 plate appearances.

Stowers went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run during the Marlins' 5-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

Stowers extended Miami's lead to 5-1 in the sixth inning with a solo long ball off Xzavion Curry. It continued Stowers' hot streak at the plate, with the 28-year-old outfielder up to 16 home runs on the season after logging four homers over his last six games. He'll end the month of July with a .812 OPS with seven home runs and 13 RBI over 98 plate appearances.

The Twins traded Reyes to the Orioles on Friday in exchange for Dean Kremer, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Reyes made his Single-A debut last weekend after slashing .296/.409/.535 with seven homers, 44 RBI, 31 runs and 15 steals across 49 games in the Florida Complex League. The lefty-hitting outfielder won't turn 19 until October and is likely still several years away from reaching the big leagues.

Mack went 2-for-4 with a run, a double and a two-run single during the Marlins' 5-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

Mack contributed to the Marlins' four-run fourth inning by smacking a single to left field that plated both Heriberto Hernandez and Jakob Marsee, before coming home on an RBI single from Xavier Edwards. It was the ninth multi-RBI game of the season for Mack, three of which have come since the All-Star break. He has a .723 OPS with 10 home runs and 32 RBI over 212 plate appearances this season.

Junk (5-6) earned the win against the Mets on Friday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and two walks while striking out four across five innings.

The lone run Junk gave up in the fifth inning was unearned due to a fielding error by Kyle Stowers, and it was the first time since April 28 against the Dodgers that Junk did not yield an earned run in a start. The right-hander is one win shy from matching his total from 2025 and sits at a 4.58 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 78.2 innings this season. Junk is lined up to face Atlanta on the road next week.
