Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI
Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Blasts 29th homer
Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Mets.
After swatting three homers in Saturday's blowout win, Schwarber went deep again with a towering three-run homer in the second inning. The slugger has historically done some of his best work in June, and 2026 has been no exception, as he's slashing .324/.439/.632 with seven homers, 13 RBI and 15 runs scored across 18 games this month. Overall, the 33-year-old is hitting .255/.369/.603 with 52 RBI, 51 runs scored and a league-leading 29 homers in 74 contests.

Bryce Harper 1B | PHI
Phillies' Bryce Harper: Goes yard in three-hit effort
Harper went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and a double in Sunday's win over the Mets.
After hitting for the cycle Saturday, Harper fell a triple shy of repeating the feat in Sunday's win. His solo homer in the fifth inning was a line-drive shot to right field that left the bat at a game-high 108.1 mph. The 33-year-old has put together a strong campaign, hitting .266 with an .896 OPS, 17 homers, 44 RBI, 51 runs and five stolen bases across 77 games.

David Peterson SP | CHC
Mets' David Peterson: Roughed up early in sixth loss
Peterson (3-6) took the loss Sunday, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks over four innings against the Phillies. He struck out five.
Peterson was ambushed early, as he gave up two runs in the first inning before surrendering a towering, three-run homer to Kyle Schwarber in the second frame. Sunday marked the southpaw's first start since May 26 as he has been moved in and out of the rotation this season with poor results across the board. Peterson owns a 6.09 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 63:30 K:BB across 68 innings (16 appearances) and is tentatively lined up for a rematch with the Phillies next weekend, if the Mets give him another turn in the rotation.

Zack Wheeler SP | PHI
Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Nabs seventh win
Wheeler (7-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against the Mets. He struck out seven.
Wheeler fell one out shy of a quality start as his control wavered in the sixth inning, but the right-hander still turned in a strong enough outing to earn his seventh win. The 36-year-old has looked great in June, posting a 1.82 ERA and 0.93 WHIP while going 3-0 across four starts spanning 24.2 innings this month. Wheeler will take a 2.11 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 69:18 K:BB through 68.1 innings (11 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Friday in a rematch with the Mets.

Pete Alonso 1B | BAL
Orioles' Pete Alonso: Crushes 18th homer
Alonso went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Sunday's 12-1 victory over the Dodgers.
Alonso added on in the rout, crushing a three-run homer in the seventh inning to extend the Orioles' lead to 10-1. The first baseman has put together a strong June, slashing .290/.398/.609 with seven homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base across 19 games this month. In his first season with Baltimore, the 31-year-old is hitting .249/.337/.475 with 18 homers, 52 RBI, 48 runs and two stolen bases through 79 contests.

Blaze Alexander 3B | BAL
Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Homers in three-hit effort
Alexander went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 12-1 victory over the Dodgers.
Alexander excelled in the blowout win, recording his seventh three-hit performance of the campaign, highlighted by a two-run homer in the eighth inning. The 27-year-old has been on fire in June, slashing .422/.460/.689 with two homers, six doubles, nine RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases across 16 appearances this month while solidifying himself as the Orioles' top option at the hot corner. Overall, Alexander is hitting .312/.362/.447 with three homers, 12 doubles, a triple, 23 RBI, 22 runs and eight stolen bases across 66 contests in 2026.

Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD
Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Chased early in fifth loss
Sheehan (3-5) took the loss Sunday, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks over 3.1 innings against Baltimore. He struck out four.
Sheehan was knocked around early and often, allowing runs in each of his first three innings before being lifted with one out in the fourth frame and two runners on base, both of whom came around to score. Home runs have been a serious issue for the 26-year-old, as Sunday's long balls by Taylor Ward (second inning) and Colton Cowser (third inning) marked the fifth time this season that Sheehan has surrendered multiple homers. After posting a 2.82 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 13 regular-season starts spanning 73.1 innings in 2025, the right-hander has struggled to a 5.32 ERA and 1.30 WHIP through 67.2 innings (14 starts) in 2026. His next start is lined up for next Sunday against San Diego.

Brandon Young SP | BAL
Orioles' Brandon Young: Earns sixth win
Young (6-2) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over five innings against the Dodgers. He struck out five.
Young navigated the vaunted Dodgers offense, allowing a run in the first inning before working the next four frames scoreless. Through four starts in June, the right-hander has posted a 3-1 record with a 2.59 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB across 24.1 innings. The 27-year-old has been a pleasant surprise in 2026, compiling a 3.07 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 49:25 K:BB across 67.1 innings (12 starts). Young's next start is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals.

Nathan Eaton LF | BOS
Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Goes yard in loss
Eaton went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Seattle.
Eaton started in right field and delivered Boston's lone run, blasting a solo shot to left field in the third inning. After opening the year with Triple-A Worcester, the 29-year-old was recalled June 8 and has played sparingly since. Across five major-league appearances this season, Eaton has gone 1-for-8 (.125) with two walks, with Sunday's homer accounting for his lone hit.

Andres Munoz RP | SEA
Mariners' Andres Munoz: Secures 13th save
Munoz picked up the save in Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Red Sox. He allowed a hit and no walks while striking out two over a scoreless inning.
Munoz had little trouble finishing off the Red Sox, working past a one-out single from Mickey Gasper by striking out Willson Contreras and Jarren Duran to secure his 13th save of the season. It has been an uneven campaign for the well-regarded closer, as he owns a 5.27 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB with five blown saves across 27.1 innings (30 appearances). Munoz has gotten the job done of late, though, converting a save in each of his three most recent outings with no runs allowed.
