Chaparro went 0-for-3 with a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.

Getting the start at first base and batting third, Chaparro crossed the plate in the first inning after getting hit by a pitch, but it was his only contribution in a 10-5 loss. Since returning to the majors in mid-May, Chaparro is slashing just .172/.368/.241 with zero homers in 38 plate appearances, but for now he'll continue to operate as a short-side platoon partner for Luis Garcia.

Mead went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.

The 25-year-old went deep for the second straight game and the third time in the last four, ripping a Cristopher Sanchez first-pitch sinker over the left-field fence in the first inning. Mead is still having trouble stringing together base hits -- his last multi-hit performance came June 10, and he's batting just .146 (6-for-41) over 12 contests since then -- but he's already popped for career-best power numbers with 14 home runs and 39 RBI in 237 plate appearances this season.

Young went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

The 30-year-old replaced Mark Vientos in the top of the seventh inning and led off the bottom of the frame with his sixth homer of the season, driving a Phil Maton curveball over the right-field fence. Young has gone yard twice in the last three games despite getting only five plate appearances as he handles a strong-side platoon role, and over 20 games in June he's managed a lopsided .210/.269/.484 slash line with five home runs and 10 RBI.

Mauricio went 1-for-5 with a double in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

Called up earlier in the day when Marcus Semien (hip) landed on the IL, Mauricio produced the Mets' only extra-base hit off southpaw Matthew Boyd. The 25-year-old infielder got the start at shortstop while Francisco Lindor got the day off, but with Semien on the shelf and Bo Bichette shifted back to third base, Mauricio could end up seeing most of his playing time at the keystone, where he'll compete with Brett Baty for starts. Over 37 big-league plate appearances this season, Mauricio's batting .216 (8-for-37) with a 0:13 BB:K.

Ewing went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

The rookie center fielder swiped his eighth bag of the season, and his first since June 5, in the seventh inning with the game tied 3-3, but he was left stranded and the Mets never scored again. Ewing's enjoying a productive June, slashing .280/.353/.453 over 22 contests with seven doubles, two homers, four steals, eight runs and nine RBI.

The Royals released Jackson on Tuesday.

Jackson signed a minor-league deal with Kansas City last month and appeared in 10 games with Triple-A Omaha, where he registered a 5.27 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB across 13.2 innings. The 34-year-old hasn't pitched in the big leagues this season after suiting up for three teams in 2025.

Rodriguez is slashing .391/.481/.717 with four home runs and three doubles over his last 11 contests at Double-A Springfield.

Rodriguez was promoted from High-A Peoria to Springfield in mid-May and needed an initial adjustment period, hitting only .182 with one long ball in his first 21 games. The top prospect has now found his rhythm, and he's one of the hottest hitters in the Texas League at just 19 years of age. Between the two levels this season, Rodriguez boasts a .284/.394/.463 line with nine home runs, a 13.1 percent walk rate and a 22.6 percent strikeout rate.

Okamoto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Thursday's loss to the Rangers.

The 29-year-old third baseman made things interesting in the ninth inning by crushing a fastball from Texas closer Jacob Latz 420 feet to straightaway center field, but the Blue Jays' late rally came up short. Okamoto has homered in three of the last five games, and over 21 contests in June he's produced a .316/.384/.605 slash line with four doubles, six long balls, 14 runs and 18 RBI as he makes a push to start for the American League in the All-Star Game during his first season in MLB.

The Yankees activated Sanchez from the paternity leave list Friday.

Sanchez missed the last three contests as he welcomed a new baby to the family. He's now ready to resume his role as the Yankees' backup catcher behind Austin Wells.

Bubic (elbow) threw a perfect inning while striking out one in Wednesday's rehab start with Triple-A Omaha.

Bubic is recovering from left elbow soreness, but his initial rehab assignment was halted June 9 due to shoulder discomfort. The southpaw threw six of eight pitches for strikes Wednesday before departing. Per MLB.com, Bubic is scheduled to throw two innings with Triple-A Omaha on Saturday as he continues to build up. If the 28-year-old avoids any further setbacks, a return to the Kansas City rotation before the All-Star break might be possible.
