Raleigh went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 12-3 win over the Tigers.

Raleigh put on another show, launching a solo shot in the eighth before blasting a grand slam an inning later, pushing his league-leading home run total to 38, just one shy of tying the MLB record for homers before the All-Star break. While the 28-year-old is now batting just 6-for-36 (.167) over his last 10 games, all six hits have left the yard, a testament to his elite power even amid contact struggles.

Caratini went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Friday's 7-3 loss to the Rangers.

Caratini left the yard for the 10th time this season Friday, clearing the right-field wall to account for two of Houston's three runs in the game. The 31-year-old has a hit in four straight games and has been red-hot to start July, slashing .345/.323/.724 with two doubles, three homers and 11 RBI. The latter two numbers already have matched or eclipsed his highs from any other month this season, and there are still 15 games on the schedule before the calendar turns again.

Contreras 2-for-4 with two RBI, two doubles and a run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over Washington.

It's been a disappointing first half overall for Contreras -- his .348 slugging percentage in 2025 is well short of his .446 mark for his career -- but he's at least fared better in a small sample lately. Across his last seven outings, the star backstop is hitting .310 (9-for-29) with three RBI, four extra-base hits and four runs scored. That said, Contreras has just two outings with multiple extra-base knocks this year, and he hasn't gone deep since June 14.

Murphy went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.

It was the sixth career multi-homer effort by Murphy, who is beginning to make a case for more playing time behind the plate with a recent power surge. The veteran backstop's slugging percentage stood at .423 as of June 26, but he's since raised that figure to .513 for the season. Over his last 10 outings, Murphy is hitting .314 (11-for-35) with six long balls, three doubles and 13 RBI.

Maldonado is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

Maldonado has not caught more than two games in a row this season, and after catching back-to-back games, Maldonado will yield to Elias Diaz behind the plate Friday. Maldonado has four home runs and a .512 OPS in 138 plate appearances during 2025.

Handley (concussion) isn't expected to be cleared to swing a bat for at least another week, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reported Friday.

Handley has been on the concussion injured list since June 23 after being on the receiving end of a nasty collision with Jazz Chisholm. He'll need at least one more week before being cleared to swing a bat, so he shouldn't be expected back until late July at the earliest.

Schanuel went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

After sitting out Thursday's game due to tightness in his left calf, Schanuel returned to his usual spot at first base and looked pretty healthy when he doubled in the eighth inning and then swiped third base. The 23-year-old has had a productive beginning to July, slashing .286/.354/.381 over 10 contests with a homer, a steal, three runs and seven RBI.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a stolen base across both ends of Friday's doubleheader split with the White Sox.

The veteran first baseman clubbed the game-winning homer in the matinee, breaking a 2-2 tie by taking Tyler Alexander deep in the sixth inning, and while Santana began the nightcap on the bench, he drew a walk as a pinch hitter and swiped a bag in the 10th inning. Four of his six steals on the year, and three of his 11 long balls, have come in his last 20 games, a stretch in which Santana is slashing just .171/.275/.314 with nine runs and 10 RBI.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

Smith's solo shot in the fifth inning sparked a five-run rally for the Giants. This was his second homer with the team and the first at home. He's struggled with consistency at the plate lately, going just 3-for-21 (.143) over eight games in July so far. He's at a .244/.322/.385 slash line through 90 plate appearances this season while working in a timeshare with Wilmer Flores at first base.

Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

Kurtz sparked the Athletics' comeback effort with his homer in the sixth inning. While he's had a penchant for clutch blasts this year, he struck out swinging in the ninth, ending a rally one run short of tying the game. The first baseman also picked up the first steal of his career Friday, which is just the second theft in his time as a professional. In other words, don't count on him for speed. Kurtz has delivered just fine with power alone, slashing .251/.330/.543 with 16 homers, 42 RBI, 30 runs scored, eight doubles and one triple over 56 contests.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Athletics.

Guerrero's first hit of the game was the 1,000th of his career, making him the youngest player in Blue Jays history to reach that mark with the team. He's been a little quiet at the plate to begin July, going 9-for-36 (.250) with no home runs, two RBI and a 7:7 BB:K over his first nine games this month. Overall, the first baseman has a .279/.384/.439 slash line with 12 home runs, 46 RBI, 57 runs scored and five steals across 92 contests this season.

Burger (quad) said after Friday's win over Houston that he expects to play in Saturday's contest, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Burger had to come out of Friday's game after injuring his left quad while running to first base in the fifth inning, but it doesn't seem like the damage will be enough for him to miss any starts. The 29-year-old has been hot since returning from an oblique injury July 2, going 10-for-35 (.286) with a home run, six RBI and six runs scored over nine games.

Sosa went 2-for-4 with a walk and two solo home runs in the second game of Friday's doubleheader split with the Guardians.

The 25-year-old started both games of the twin bill at second base, and after an 0-for-3 showing in the matinee, Sosa teed off against Gavin Williams in the nightcap with long balls in the first and fifth frames. Sosa's enjoying a productive stretch heading into the All-Star break, slashing .288/.315/.615 over his last 14 games with five of his nine homers on the season and 14 of his 31 RBI.

Schneemann went 2-for-8 with a double, a solo home run, a stolen base and a second run scored across both games of Friday's doubleheader split with the White Sox.

The utility infielder started at second base in both contests, swatting his ninth homer of the season in the matinee before swiping his sixth bag in the nightcap. Schneemann's playing time could be in jeopardy after the All-Star break however, if Lane Thomas (foot) is ready to come off the IL and bump Angel Martinez back to the infield -- Martinez is red hot at the plate, while Schneemann hasn't had a multi-hit performance since June 25 and is slashing a meager .105/.190/.211 over his last 14 games.

Kim went 3-for-4 with a double, two stolen bases and one run scored in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Giants.

Kim delivered his first multi-hit effort since June 28 versus the Royals. The second baseman has picked up playing time at his natural position lately, with Tommy Edman shifting over to third base against right-handed pitchers to help cover the absences of Max Muncy (knee) and Enrique Hernandez (elbow). The left-handed-hitting Kim is at a .349/.389/.481 slash line with two home runs, 12 RBI, 17 runs scored and 11 steals across 113 plate appearances this season. Kim will likely continue to sit against left-handed pitchers, with Miguel Rojas entering the lineup at third and Edman at second in those matchups.

The Rays placed Lowe on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 8, due to left oblique tightness.

The 31-year-old hasn't seen the field since suffering the injury Sunday in Minnesota, and he'll spend the final series before the All-Star break on the injured list. Lowe will be unable to take part in the Midsummer Classic as a result, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated for the start of the second half July 18 versus Baltimore.

Estrada (thumb) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

The 29-year-old will be on the bench Friday for a third straight game as he continues to nurse a jammed left thumb. Estrada already had X-rays come back negative, so he could be available at some point this weekend in Cincinnati for the final series before the All-Star break.

Semien went 4-for-5 with one RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 11-4 win over the Angels.

This was Semien's first multi-hit effort over nine games in July. Despite that, he is batting .313 (20-for-64) with six extra-base hits and 15 RBI over his last 15 games. For the season, the second baseman has a .239/.318/.366 slash line with 10 home runs, 47 RBI, 44 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 11 doubles and one triple over 93 contests.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

The third baseman took Ryne Nelson deep in the first inning, the second Angels homer of the frame and Moncada's first in four contests since returning from his latest IL stint. The 30-year-old's name has been bandied about in trade rumors, but he may need to show he can stay healthy on the other side of the All-Star break to draw much interest -- Moncada's been in the lineup for only 34 games so far this season, slashing .232/.326/.491 with seven homers and 21 RBI.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a stolen base in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

The 32-year-old superstar went 0-for-4 in the matinee, although he did score a run, but Ramirez kept his hot streak going in the nightcap by hooking a Jonathan Cannon cutter down the right-field line for his 18th homer of the season, and his fifth in eight games since July 4. Over that stretch, Ramirez is slashing .300/.417/.833 with five steals, nine runs and nine RBI, and after swiping a career-high 41 bags in 158 games in 2024, he's upped his pace in 2025 with 26 steals (on 31 attempts) in his first 90 contests.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

Muncy has been able to extend his run as a lineup regular while Jacob Wilson (hand) has missed the last three games. The homer was Muncy's fourth over nine contests in July and his ninth long ball of the year. The infielder is at a .224/.267/.410 slash line with 23 RBI, 17 runs scored and one stolen base across 195 plate appearances. Muncy may have to settle for a utility role when the Athletics are closer to full strength in the infield, though they could reassign him to Triple-A Las Vegas to receive more consistent playing time.

Westburg went 3-for-4 with an RBI and three runs scored during Friday's 5-2 win over the Marlins.

The 26-year-old infielder opened up the scoring Friday with an RBI single in the first inning and was later driven in by a Ryan O'Hearn double. Westburg smacked two more singles in the third and seventh innings, both of which also led to him coming across the plate. Since returning last Friday from a finger injury that kept him sidelined for five games, Westburg has now turned in three multi-hit performances and is 11-for-25 with three homers, seven RBI and nine runs scored.

Arenado was removed from Friday's game against Atlanta with a sprained right index finger, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado injured the same finger toward the end of June, which caused him to miss the first two games of July. If he ends up having to miss more time, Thomas Saggese would likely fill in as St Louis' third baseman.

Riley was removed from Friday's game against the Cardinals with lower-abdominal tightness.

Riley went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the fourth inning. The severity of his injury remains unclear, but if he's forced to miss any amount of time, Luke Williams would be the favorite to pick up reps at the hot corner.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

Adames opened the scoring with a solo shot in the second inning and added a two-run triple in the fifth as part of a five-run rally for the Giants. Over 10 games in July, Adames has gone 13-for-36 (.361) with seven extra-base hits and 12 RBI. He's starting to cash in on the potential that the Giants saw when signing him to a seven-year, $182 million contract in December. Overall, the shortstop is at a .225/.312/.382 slash line with 12 homers, 48 RBI, 53 runs scored, four stolen bases, 14 doubles and two triples through 94 contests.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with one run scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.

Bogaerts has a trio of three-hit efforts over his last 13 games, batting .383 (18-for-47) in that span. All three hits were singles Friday, and the shortstop has just one extra-base hit, a double, across his last 10 contests. The lack of power remains a concern, but the contact-driven surge has him up to a .264/.338/.368 slash line through 92 games this season.

Witt went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run during Friday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.

Witt is up to 14 straight games with a hit after notching a multi-hit performance Friday, the sixth time he's had multiple hits during his streak. The hot stretch has covered the entirety of July, so it makes sense that this has been Witt's best month from a hitting standpoint. The All-Star shortstop is slashing .400/.436/.629 this month with two doubles, two homers and seven RBI.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run during Friday's 8-3 win over the Royals.

Over the course of Lindor's six-game hit streak, he is 8-for-23 (.348 batting average) with two doubles, four walks, two homers and eight RBI. The home run was 19th of the season for the All-Star shortstop, who is slashing .263/.335/.465 on the year.

Correa was diagnosed with a mild right ankle sprain after his removal from Friday's game versus Pittsburgh, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Correa wasn't able to walk off the field by himself after getting hit in the leg by a sliding Tommy Pham during the seventh inning, but imaging revealed just a mild ankle sprain. With just two games remaining before the All-Star break, the Twins will likely err on the side of caution and start Brooks Lee or Willi Castro at shortstop for the rest of the series, though the team may get away with keeping Correa off the injured list for now.

Correa was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates due to a right leg injury, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Tommy Pham collided with Correa's leg while sliding into second base in the seventh inning. The latter was hesitant to put weight on his leg after the incident and needed the assistance of a trainer to walk off the field. The star shortstop will almost certainly head in for imaging to determine the severity of his injury, but he can be viewed as day-to-day until then.

Martinez went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

His homer streak ended at three games following a 1-for-5 performance in the nightcap, but even that knock was a double. Martinez's bat has come to life in July, and the 23-year-old has an eight-game hit streak going in which he's batting .323 (10-for-31) with eight extra-base hits, five two-baggers and three round-trippers. Lane Thomas (foot), who is on the shelf due to plantar fasciitis for the second time this season, could return after the All-Star break and reclaim the starting job in center field if his symptoms have subsided, but it might be hard for Cleveland to remove the switch-hitting Martinez from the everyday lineup given his current form.

Bellinger went 3-for-5 with three home runs and six total RBI en route to a victory over the Cubs on Friday.

In his first game against the Cubs since being traded from Chicago to New York, Bellinger made sure to remind his former team of what they gave away. His two-run blasts in the third, fifth and eighth innings propelled the Yankees to an 11-0 blowout. The 29-year-old outfielder also came close to sending another ball over the fence in the seventh frame, but Kyle Tucker managed to bring that one back with a leaping catch at the wall. With two games left before the All-Star break, Bellinger now owns an .838 OPS with 16 homers, 54 RBI and 53 runs scored on the year.

Conforto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Giants.

Conforto capped a four-run rally in the sixth inning for the Dodgers. He's gone yard four times over his last 13 games, but he's batting a meager .227 (10-for-44) in that span. For the season, the outfielder is at a .176/.293/.316 slash line with eight homers, 23 RBI, 34 runs scored and one stolen base across 300 plate appearances, primarily in a strong-side platoon role in left field.

Lee went 3-for-4 with a triple and three RBI in Friday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

Lee regained the lead for the Giants with a two-run triple in the fourth inning, then added an RBI single to cap a five-run rally in the fifth. This was his first multi-RBI game since June 15, which also came against the Dodgers. Lee has hit well so far in July, going 11-for-31 (.355) across eight games this month. As long as the bat stays hot, the production should follow. Overall, Lee has a .251/.316/.404 slash line with six home runs, 40 RBI, 49 runs scored, six stolen bases, 18 doubles and eight triples through 90 contests.

Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

Soderstrom has logged four multi-hit efforts over his last five games, adding three homers in that span. The 23-year-old contributed his solo shot Friday in the sixth inning as the Athletics attempted to rally from a 7-0 deficit. Soderstrom is up to 17 long balls on the year, good for second on the team behind Brent Rooker (19). Across 95 games, Soderstrom has added 54 RBI, 49 runs scored, five stolen bases, 14 doubles, one triple and a .265/.344/.461 slash line.

Straw went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 7-6 win over the Athletics.

Straw's playing time remains sporadic, though he was in the lineup for the second game in a row versus a right-handed pitcher. He got the start in center field while Nathan Lukes covered for Joey Loperfido (illness) in left. Straw's biggest asset is his speed, but he's collected just seven steals on eight attempts this year. The outfielder has added a .247/.292/.313 slash line with one home run, 16 RBI, 27 runs scored and eight doubles across 183 plate appearances. While he's holding onto a part-time role for now, there's no guarantee Straw will keep his spot in the majors once the Blue Jays' outfield gets Daulton Varsho (hamstring) and Anthony Santander (shoulder) back in the fold.

Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks, giving up four runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

The Angels gave Anderson a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, but the veteran southpaw immediately handed it right back in the top of the second. He left the mound after 84 pitches (54 strikes), and Anderson will head into the All-Star break with his rotation spot potentially hanging by a thread -- he hasn't picked up a win since April 18, and over eight starts since the beginning of June, he's stumbled to a 5.75 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB over 40.2 innings.

Cannon didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Chicago went on to split the twin bill by winning the nightcap in 11 innings, and Cannon pitched well enough to keep his team in the game early, with his only real mistake resulting in a two-run homer by Jose Ramirez in the third inning. Cannon will head into the All-Star break with a 4.44 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 61:29 K:BB through 77 innings on the season, and the 24-year-old righty's spot in the second-half rotation could depend on whether a veteran gets traded away before the deadline, as Davis Martin (forearm) is closing in on his return.

Williams came away with a no-decision in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the White Sox, giving up three runs on four hits and five walks over five-plus innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander's control and command continue to be an issue. Williams tossed 59 of 102 pitches for strikes before getting the hook after allowing a leadoff single to Luis Robert in the sixth, but Lenyn Sosa was his biggest nemesis as the Chicago second baseman launched solo shots in the first and fifth innings. The five free passes weren't even a season high for Williams -- he issued six walks May 26 against the Dodgers -- and he's walked multiple batters in 10 straight trips to the mound, a stretch from which he's somehow emerged with a respectable 3.25 ERA and 1.27 WHIP despite a 44:33 K:BB over 55.1 innings.

Liberatore (6-7) took the loss Friday against Atlanta, giving up six runs on nine hits and one walk in three innings. He didn't record a strikeout.

Liberatore matched his shortest outing of the year, and the six runs he surrendered were his most since his June 5 start. Friday also represented the first instance of the season that the 25-year-old southpaw was unable to fan a batter, and the nine hits allowed tied his season high. Liberatore has still settled in as a consistent member of St. Louis' rotation during the first half of the campaign, logging a 4.13 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 80:22 K:BB over a career-high 100.1 frames.

Holmes took a no-decision Friday against the Cardinals, giving up five runs on nine hits and two walks in three innings. He struck out one.

It was one of the worst outings of the season for Holmes, who established a season low in strikeouts and yielded his most runs since May 7. Friday marked the 29-year-old right-hander's shortest appearance among his 19 starts, and the nine hits allowed set a season high. Holmes still owns a steady 3.77 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 119:50 K:BB across 105 frames ahead of the All-Star break, and his spot should remain solidified in Atlanta's injury-ravaged rotation.

Skenes (4-8) took the loss Friday against the Twins, giving up two runs on five hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out six.

Skenes started fast, retiring the first nine batters he faced, but a single by Byron Buxton and ensuing blast by Trevor Larnach resulted in a pair of runs against the hurler. The last-place Pirates could be starting to manage the All-Star right-hander's workload, as Skenes has failed to reach the 90-pitch threshold in any of his past four starts, which may be something for fantasy managers to monitor post-All-Star break. Through 121 innings for the campaign, he boasts a 2.01 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 131:30 K:BB.

Jansen (3-2) picked up the win Friday, giving up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning as the Angels downed the Diamondbacks 6-5. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

The veteran closer got the call in a tie game to handle the top of the ninth, and Jansen got through the top of Arizona's order on just 10 pitches (eight strikes) thanks to a Lourdes Gurriel double-play grounder. Jansen has two wins and a save in his last three appearances and he hasn't allowed an earned run since June 15, posting a 0.82 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB over his last 11 innings to go along with that pristine ERA. The Angels are still on the fringes of the AL wild-card race, but if they decide to be sellers at the trade deadline, Jansen could fetch a decent return even as a 37-year-old rental.

Nelson came away with a no-decision in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Angels, coughing up four runs on seven hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out one.

He tossed 52 of 87 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, and he was lucky to last that long after Zach Neto and Yoan Moncada both took him deep in the first inning. It was the first time all season that Nelson has served up multiple homers in the same outing, and Friday's ragged performance ended a strong stretch for the 27-year-old right-hander in which he'd allowed two runs or fewer in five straight starts. Nelson will look to regroup over the All-Star break as he takes a 3.68 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 65:25 K:BB through 78.1 innings into the second half.

Clase recorded his 20th save of the season in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the White Sox, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

The veteran needed 10 pitches (seven strikes) to dispatch the top of Chicago's order. Clase has been tagged for earned runs only twice in 17 appearances since the beginning of June, posting a 1.56 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB over 17.1 innings during that stretch while converting eight of 10 save chances.

Flexen (5-1) took the loss Friday against the Yankees after giving up three earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two batters over four innings.

Flexen made his first start of the season Friday after spending most of the season working as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. He kept the Yankees off the scoreboard for two innings, but back-to-back singles to lead off the third followed by an Aaron Judge sacrifice fly and a Cody Bellinger two-run blast gave New York a lead it wouldn't relinquish for the rest of the game. Flexen's ERA still sits at 1.47 on the year despite his rough performance Friday, and he'll likely get another opportunity to start after the All-Star break with Jameson Taillon (calf) set to remain out until August.

Doval allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

Doval had runners on first and second with one out, but he got Will Smith to ground into a double play to end the threat. Doval has allowed a baserunner in six of his last seven outings, and this was just the third time he's avoided giving up any runs during that span, having been tagged for nine runs (eight earned) over his last 7.2 innings. Doval hasn't lost out on closing duties yet, but he's on shaky ground if he can't steady his performance. For the season, he's earned 15 saves with a 3.02 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 38:21 K:BB through 41.2 innings.

Suarez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.

Suarez has pitched three of the last four days and is now on a five-inning scoreless streak that began July 4 versus the Rangers. The closer's heavy workload lately may lead to him not making an appearance Saturday even if a save situation arises, though the rest of the Padres' top high-leverage arms have also pitched on the same days as Suarez this week. Suarez is up to 28 saves in 31 chances while maintaining a 3.54 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 43:12 K:BB through 40.2 innings this season.

Grichuk went 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Angels.

The veteran outfielder kept Arizona in the game, launching a two-run shot to left field off Tyler Anderson in the second inning before tying things up at 5-5 in the eighth by crushing a Reid Detmers slider over the center-field wall for a solo blast. It was Grichuk's first multi-homer performance since last September, and he's finding his groove heading into the All-Star break -- four of his seven long balls on the season have come in his last 10 games.

Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Giants.

Ohtani's third-inning homer gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead at the time. After opening July with a 3-for-22 (.136) slump over six games, Ohtani has gone 4-for-14 with two homers and four RBI over his last four contests. The two-way superstar is up to a .278/.383/.614 slash line with 32 long balls, 60 RBI, 89 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 12 doubles and seven triples over 93 contests. Ohtani is scheduled to make a start on the mound Saturday, but as he's still building up his workload, he's likely to cover two or three innings before turning the ball over to Emmet Sheehan.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Padres.

Schwarber's blast was his 30th of the season, and five of those homers have come over just nine games in July. He's added 12 RBI, three doubles, seven runs scored and a stolen base this month. This is Schwarber's seventh year of 30-plus homers, a mark he's reached five seasons in a row. He's positioned well to push for a career high -- he slugged 47 long balls in the 2023 campaign. The designated hitter has added a .254/.385/.560 slash line, 69 RBI, 66 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 94 contests this season.

Larnach went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 2-1 win over Pittsburgh.

Larnach's 13th home run of the season came in the fourth inning against All-Star right-hander Paul Skenes, which is certainly no easy feat. Although the lefty-hitting Larnach tends to struggle versus southpaws, he's been quite effective against righties this year.
