Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a two-run double and a two-run home run during the Yankees' 9-4 loss to the Guardians on Tuesday.

Goldschmidt was responsible for all four runs that the Yankees scored Tuesday, including a two-run homer off Joey Cantillo in the third inning that gave the Bronx Bombers a 2-1 lead. Goldschmidt has logged two home runs over his last four games and is up to seven on the season, which is tied for fourth-most on the Yankees. He is on a seven-game hitting streak, having gone 11-for-31 (.344) with nine RBI in that span.

Schlittler (7-3) took the loss against Cleveland on Tuesday, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits while striking out three across 4.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

The four earned runs Schlittler gave up were his most in a start since Sept. 16, and Tuesday's outing was the first time this season that the 25-year-old right-hander did not complete at least five innings. It's still been a strong season for Schlittler, who leads the American League with a 0.86 WHIP (across 76.1 innings) among qualified starters, and he has a 1.89 ERA that is second in the AL to Nick Martinez (1.62). Schlittler will look to bounce back in his next start, which is slated for this weekend at home against the Red Sox.

Palencia tossed a scoreless inning of relief with a strikeout in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics.

Palencia has been good this year with a 2.13 ERA and 13 strikeouts across his 14 appearances, but he's still stuck on three saves and hasn't recorded one since May 14. Chicago is just 4-13 since that date, which has limited the righty's opportunities to close things out. Palencia remains a talented reliever capable of racking up plenty of saves, though he'll need his team to get back on track.

Bachar tossed 2.2 scoreless innings as Tuesday's opener against the Nationals. He struck out three batters and walked one without allowing a hit.

Bachar kicked off a bullpen day for the Marlins in what was the second major-league start of his career, and he answered the call by keeping the Nationals off the board. It was a nice bounce-back performance from his last outing Saturday against the Mets, when he gave up three runs on four hits across two innings. Bachar has a 3.45 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across 31.1 innings this season.

Hoerner went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics.

Hoerner has hits in three straight games and six of his last seven as he seems to be rounding back into form after a bit of a slump. The infielder is at his best when he's simply getting on first base due to his speed. Hoerner now has 12 stolen bases this year in 13 attempts, and he has 115 steals since the start of the 2023 season.

Lopez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Miami's 7-3 win over Washington on Tuesday.

The Marlins hit three consecutive home runs off Miles Mikolas in the fifth inning, capped off by Lopez's solo shot, which was his fifth long ball of the season and first since May 5 against the Orioles. Over his last seven games, Lopez has gone 10-for-28 (.357) with two steals, three RBI and two extra-base hits.

De Jesus pitched four scoreless innings of relief in Tuesday's 8-0 win over the Rays. He didn't allow any hits or walks while striking out four to record his first career save.

Jack Flaherty started the game with five scoreless innings of his own to finally earn his first win of the year, but De Jesus still looked excellent in his longest outing of the season, and he needed only 35 pitches to complete the shutout. The lefty lowered his ERA nearly a whole run from 5.91 down to 4.97, and he's up to 25 strikeouts across 25.1 innings. De Jesus could earn more opportunities in a long-relief role due to his effectiveness Tuesday.

Mack went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI during the Marlins' 7-3 win over the Nationals on Tuesday.

Both teams failed to score through the first four innings of Tuesday's game, but Mack quickly changed that with a two-run homer off Miles Mikolas in the fifth inning, which was followed up by consecutive solo homers from Heriberto Hernandez and Otto Lopez. It was the first home run of Mack's major-league career, and he gave the Marlins an insurance run in the ninth with a sacrifice bunt that brought Liam Hicks home. Mack is slashing .214/.257/.300 with nine RBI, four extra-base hits and eight runs scored across 76 plate appearances since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville in early May.

Greene went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-0 win over the Rays.

Greene has now gone deep on consecutive days to begin June, and he's up to six home runs this season across 62 games to go along with a strong .859 OPS. He has a lot of work to do if he wants to match his regular-season total of 36 homers from last year, but the 25-year-old is off to a great start this month, and he should remain locked into fantasy lineups as Detroit's primary offensive catalyst.

Hernandez went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI during the Marlins' 7-3 win over the Nationals on Tuesday.

The Marlins hit three straight home runs off Miles Mikolas in the fourth inning, with Hernandez's solo shot sandwiched between long balls by Joe Mack and Otto Lopez. Hernandez gave the Marlins insurance runs in the ninth with a two-run shot to left field, marking the first multi-homer game of his major-league career. He is now up to five home runs on the season, all of which have come in his last 11 games.
