Lopez went 2-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored during the Marlins' 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Lopez continued a great season with his fourth consecutive multi-hit game, his longest streak of the season so far. The shortstop increased his league-leading batting average to .342 and his hit total to 91.

Happ went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Happ got the scoring started for both teams in the fourth inning with his 15th home run of the season. The veteran outfielder is on pace to surpass the 23 long balls he recorded during the 2025 regular season, if he can stay healthy, and he could push toward the first 30-homer campaign of his 10-year MLB career. The power surge has Happ's OPS at .838, which would be his highest since 2020.

Stowers went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-0 win over Arizona.

Stowers went yard in the fourth inning with a 425-foot, three-run blast to right field off of Ryne Nelson. The homer extended the lead to 7-0 for the Marlins and effectively put the game away. The 28-year-old is batting .194 with two homers and nine RBI through eight games in June, and his .677 OPS through 188 plate appearances this year is a far cry from the .288/.268/.544 slash line he posted last year.

Brieske worked around three hits and a walk to toss 1.2 scoreless innings of relief in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

Brieske wasn't particularly sharp, but it was still a step in the right direction for him, as he had allowed three runs in each of his first two outings of the season. The righty had been on the injured list all year after suffering a left adductor strain toward the end of spring training, and it looks like he's still shaking off some rust after being reinstated in late May. Brieske should see his bullpen role grow as he settles in, though he may have limited fantasy upside working in middle relief.

Senga (spine/arm) will resume his rehab assignment at Double-A Binghamton on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Senga was originally slated to make his fourth rehab appearance Tuesday but was scratched due to ulnar nerve irritation. Now seemingly past the issue, he'll return to minor-league action Thursday and continue his journey back from lumbar spine inflammation, which has kept him on the injured list since late April. It's unknown how close Senga is to returning to the Mets' rotation, though a strong showing Thursday would likely go a long way toward shortening his stay on the IL.

Caissie went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Caissie hit a two-run homer on a line drive over the right field wall in the fourth inning against Ryne Nelson for his sixth long ball of the campaign. The home run broke a six-game hitless streak for Caissie, during which he went 0-14 with eight strikeouts. After ending that streak Wednesday, he has a .217/.280/.385 slash line through 182 plate appearances this year.

Torres went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

Torres has been heating up lately with three three-hit performances across his last six games, and he's batting a robust .417 during the stretch. Overall, the veteran infielder now has a .283/.398/.379 slash line in 39 contests, and after missing about a month due to an oblique strain, he once again looks like a reliable fantasy contributor near the top of Detroit's lineup.

Duran secured the save Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing no runs on two hits and no walks in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

After blowing his first save of the season Tuesday versus Toronto, Duran was shaky again Wednesday but managed to hold on for a scoreless save. The hard-throwing right-hander continues to maintain a strong grip as Philadelphia's closer, posting a 1.99 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 34:5 K:BB while converting 17 of his 18 save opportunities. Duran is tied for second in the National League in saves with Riley O'Brien.

McGonigle went 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

While he didn't record any hits, McGonigle was still able to get on base frequently due to his good eye at the plate. The rookie now has 42 walks this season in 65 games versus only 38 strikeouts, and his .394 on-base percentage reflects his patient approach. McGonigle is locked in as Detroit's primary leadoff hitter, and he's having a tremendous debut campaign from a fantasy perspective.

Nelson (2-5) picked up the loss Wednesday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk over four innings during the 8-0 loss against the Marlins. He struck out two.

Nelson was shelled as he delivered his shortest start since he gave up eight runs in one-third of an inning April 19 versus Toronto. The right-hander was hurt by home runs in the fourth inning by Owen Caissie and Kyle Stowers, as he's already served up 17 long balls this season. After quality starts in five of his previous six games, Nelson struggled with control Wednesday, hitting two batters and throwing strikes on only 53 of his 82 pitches. The 28-year-old is slated to start at home against the Angels next week.
