Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 1B | TOR
Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Three-hit effort in win
Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Thursday's win over Atlanta.
His current homer drought stands at 15 games, but Guerrero might be on the verge of a summer rampage. The star first baseman has doubles in four of the last six games, and over his last 10 contests he's slashing .389/.476/.500 with seven runs, albeit with just two RBI.

Ernie Clement 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Bangs out three more hits
Clement went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's win over Atlanta.
The 30-year-old infielder extended his current hitting streak to seven games with his fifth performance of the season of three hits or more. Clement has hit safely in 16 of his last 17 contests, slashing .381/.400/.619 over that blistering stretch with six doubles, three homers, one steal, 10 runs and 10 RBI.

Ronald Acuna Jr. RF | ATL
Braves' Ronald Acuna: Running wild of late
Acuna went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays.
The third-inning steal was Acuna's 14th of the season, with seven of them coming in the last eight games. Over that stretch, the 28-year-old superstar is slashing .296/.472/.889 with five homers, seven runs and nine RBI as he shows signs of regaining the pre-injury form that saw him deliver 41 home runs and 73 stolen bases in a historic 2023 regular-season campaign.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Scores twice in win
Lowe went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored Thursday against the Astros.
Lowe ignited a Pirates rally with each of his doubles, coming around to score both times. It was his first multi-hit game in his last seven starts, though he's still been plenty productive of late. Across his last 10 games, Lowe has two homers, eight RBI and 10 runs scored. He's maintained an .873 OPS across 57 games this season, his highest mark since 2020.

Spencer Jones RF | NYY
Yankees' Spencer Jones: Summoned back to big leagues
The Yankees will recall Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday to take the roster spot of the injured Aaron Judge (ribs), Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Jones will likely head back to the minors once Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) or Giancarlo Stanton (calf) returns, but Jones should receive at least a week or so of regular playing time with the big club. The young outfielder struggled in his first stint in the majors earlier this year, going 4-for-24 with no home runs and a 3:12 BB:K.

Gabriel Moreno C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Moves to third in order
Moreno batted third in the order and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo adjusted the lineup Thursday, swapping the spots of Moreno and shortstop Geraldo Perdomo, who was dropped to seventh. It was just the third time this season the catcher has hit third, but he's been one of the team's hottest hitters of late, slashing .311/.394/.459 over the last 17 contests. Per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports, Perdomo will mainly stick in the seventh spot for now, but it's not yet clear if Moreno will be the primary No. 3 hitter while the shortstop works through his struggles at the dish.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Staying in lower third of order
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that the plan for now is to keep Perdomo in the lower third of the batting order, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Perdomo hit out of the seventh spot Thursday and responded with two hits, including a two-out, game-tying single in the bottom of the eighth inning. Perdomo could move around the lineup depending on days off for teammates, but the plan is to mainly keep in the seven-hole for now. The shortstop had a breakout 2025 but is slashing .230/.333/.348 with three home runs, 22 RBI, eight steals and 27 runs through 59 games in 2026.

Pavin Smith 1B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Replaces injured teammate
Smith entered Thursday's game to play first base after Ildemaro Vargas (thigh) was removed in the fifth inning. Smith went 0-for-1 in a 3-2 win over the Dodgers.
The lefty-hitting Smith would not have been the first choice as a replacement with Dodgers southpaw Justin Wrobleski still on the mound, but Jose Fernandez was already in the game as the DH. The Diamondbacks typically limit Smith's exposure to left-handers. Vargas is day-to-day and is not expected to suit up Friday against Washington lefty Foster Griffin, but it's unlikely Smith will be in the starting lineup.

Corbin Carroll RF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Collects three hits Thursday
Carroll went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a 3-2 victory against the Dodgers on Thursday.
Carroll collected half of Arizona's four extra-base hits, striking a double in the first inning and putting the team on the board with a solo homer to right field in the eighth. The talented outfielder has gone deep twice over his past three contests on the heels of a 13-game homerless stretch. Carroll is enjoying a strong season overall, as his .937 OPS is on pace for a career-best mark. He's complemented a .292 batting average with nine homers, 15 doubles, eight triples, 39 runs, 30 RBI and seven stolen bases through 59 games.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Crushes walk-off homer
Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday in a 3-2 win against the Dodgers.
Marte struck out twice and was unable to reach base in his first four plate appearances. However, he played hero in the ninth inning, belting a 431-foot solo homer to left field to give Arizona a comeback win. Marte has driven in at least one run in his first three games to begin June and has clubbed two homers, scored three runs and driven in four over that span despite going just 2-for-12.
