Rodriguez tossed 6.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Tuesday, allowing three hits and issuing three walks while striking out five batters.

Rodriguez got through nearly seven innings on 95 pitches, 58 of which were strikes. The left-hander didn't give up any extra-base hits and held the Cardinals to zero runs, but he was stuck with a no-decision since neither team scored until the ninth inning. Rodriguez looked to be on the decline after posting the two worst ERAs of his career in 2024 and 2025, but he's turned things around dramatically this season, ranking sixth in MLB among qualified starters with a 2.27 ERA through 95 innings covering 16 starts. The veteran hurler's 1.21 WHIP and 70:38 K:BB are less impressive, but he's nonetheless looking like a viable candidate for his first All-Star nod.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Cubs.

Bichette launched a two-run homer off Jayden Murray in the ninth inning for his ninth long ball of the year. The 28-year-old has been on fire lately, batting .405 (17-for-42) with 10 RBI over his last 10 games. The hot streak has significantly boosted his season numbers, as he has raised his batting average from .213 on June 2 to .251 entering Wednesday. Through 341 plate appearances, Bichette owns a .674 OPS with 11 doubles, one triple, nine home runs, 44 RBI, 40 runs scored and one stolen base.

Pages went 3-for-5 with a walk, three runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 12-3 victory versus Minnesota.

Pages was one of six Dodgers with multiple hits in the offensive onslaught, and he reached base four times in total. The outfielder was in need of a positive offensive performance, as he entered the game batting just .146 (6-for-41) with 12 strikeouts over his past 10 contests. Pages is nonetheless putting together a career-best campaign, slashing .269/.320/.481 with 15 home runs, 46 runs, 58 RBI and seven stolen bases through 338 plate appearances.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Mets.

While it's been a rough season overall for Swanson, he is now riding a modest four-game hitting streak, and he's got two home runs and seven RBI during the hot stretch. The veteran shortstop is still stuck with a subpar .189 batting average and .641 OPS for the year, but he's remained a lineup fixture for the Cubs, and he's at least showing some signs of turning things around.

Call went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks and three total runs scored in a 12-3 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

Despite Los Angeles putting up 12 runs, the team hit only one homer -- Call's 368-foot poke to left field in the ninth inning. It was the first long ball of the season for the veteran outfielder, whose career-high total is just eight homers over 128 contests with Washington in 2023. Call has served in a fourth-outfielder role for the Dodgers throughout the campaign and is slashing a solid .270/.383/.350 with five doubles, 19 runs, 15 RBI, a stolen base and a 16:18 BB:K through 120 plate appearances. He could see more starts in the short term while Kyle Tucker nurses a back injury.

Senga (0-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing seven runs on three hits and five walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings.

Senga opened the game with a promising first inning, striking out two batters, but things unraveled quickly in the second. The right-hander walked two hitters and hit another before Pete Crow-Armstrong launched a three-run homer to cap off a five-run frame. Senga later surrendered a two-run shot to Dansby Swanson in the fourth before his night came to an end. The veteran's recent stretch has been particularly horrid, as he has now allowed 27 earned runs across his last five starts while failing to complete more than four innings in any of them. Still searching for his first win of the season, Senga owns a disastrous 10.08 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 34:22 K:BB through 27.2 innings. He is scheduled for a home matchup against the Phillies next time out, though manager Carlos Mendoza suggested during his postgame press conference that Senga could be removed from the starting rotation in the near future, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with two walks and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Mets.

Crow-Armstrong took Kodai Senga deep with two outs in the second inning, and the three-run shot ultimately was the difference in the game. The star outfielder has been on a power surge with 10 home runs so far across 18 games in June. Overall, Crow-Armstrong is up to 17 homers to go along with an .895 OPS and 18 stolen bases, and he's emerging as one of the most dynamic players in all of fantasy baseball due to his combination of power and speed.

Rojas allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out four batters over two innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Rojas got a chance to start Tuesday after Joe Ryan was scratched due to an illness. Rojas had thrown just 33 pitches in his lone rehab appearance before being activated off the IL on Sunday following a triceps injury, so he wasn't expected to go very deep, and that indeed proved to be the case. With that said, the lefty probably could have covered more innings if not for his lack of control -- he needed 50 pitches to cover two frames, with only 25 of his offerings going for strikes. On the plus side, Rojas struck out four and managed to work around his wildness to allow just one run. Ultimately, it was Austin Voth who took on the bulk of the innings in his first appearance as a Twin, eating up four innings with 96 pitches. Neither Rojas nor Voth figure to enter the rotation since Ryan has been cleared to return Wednesday.

Dingler went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

Dingler had three of Detroit's eight hits as a team as he continued to lead the Tigers' offensive attack. The catcher now has 10 multi-hit efforts across 19 games this month, and he's batting a scorching .385 overall in June with seven home runs and 22 RBI. Dingler is showing no signs of slowing down in what's shaping up as a true breakout campaign for the 27-year-old.

Nunez went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, one run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 14-9 loss to the Phillies.

Nunez drove in two runs and stole a bag in the fourth inning before notching his fourth multi-steal effort of the season in the seventh. It continued a torrid June for the 25-year-old, who's hitting .407 for the month and is currently riding a nine-game hitting streak that includes six multi-hit contests. For the year, he's slashing .242/.325/.287 with seven extra-base hits (no home runs), 26 RBI, 31 runs scored and a major-league-leading 31 stolen bases across 258 plate appearances.
