Loperfido went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Giants.

The 26-year-old outfielder was out of the starting lineup for the last three games before the All-Star break due to an illness, but Loperfido looked 100 percent healthy when the Jays resumed their schedule. He's made a big impact since joining the big-league roster in early July, going 7-for-17 (.412) with a homer, two runs and six RBI in six contests.

Benintendi went 2-for-4 with a double, three runs scored and two RBI against the Pirates on Friday.

Benintendi helped ignite the White Sox's offense for a 10-run outburst, highlighted by an RBI double in the first inning and a run-scoring single six frames later. It was also notable that Benintendi was in the lineup against lefty Bailey Falter, as he had sat against two of the last three southpaws the team faced. Though broken up by the All-Star break, Benintendi has a modest three-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 7-for-10 with five runs scored, one home run, three RBI and a stolen base.

Taylor went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI against the Pirates on Friday.

Taylor has sat against each of the last five opposing right-handed starting pitchers, but he has started against the last four lefties. He hit ninth in the order Friday against Bailey Falter and delivered a three-RBI double in the seventh inning to put the team up 10-1. While his playing time isn't likely to be consistent, Taylor has hit a decent .240 with four doubles, eight RBI and two runs scored across 29 plate appearances in July.

Martinez batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-6 win over the Athletics.

Martinez took over the leadoff spot for Steven Kwan, who was unavailable due to a wrist injury. Martinez's bat was largely quiet during the first half -- he posted a slash line of .231/.257/.349 over 69 games -- but got on a roll before the break and continued it Friday. Over the last 11 contests, Martinez has gone 12-for-43 (.279) with six doubles, three home runs, nine RBI and a stolen base.

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

The ball was flying out of Citizens Bank Park, with the two teams combining for six homers, and Adell did his part by crushing a fourth-inning changeup from Jesus Luzardo over the center-field fence. It was Adell's 20th home run of the season but his first since July 4, as he'd gone nine straight games prior to the All-Star break without a long ball. On the month, the 26-year-old is slashing .245/.317/.453 with two homers, four runs and 13 RBI in 14 contests.

Ward went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Phillies.

The ball was flying out of Citizens Bank Park, with the two teams combining for six homers, but Ward's was the biggest as he took Tanner Banks deep in the seventh inning to break open a 4-4 tie. Ward is up to 22 home runs on the year, three shy of the career high he set in 2024, and after battling the BABIP demons to begin the season, he's slashing .273/.382/.482 since June 14 with 16 runs and 21 RBI in 29 contests.

Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

Arozarena went 0-for-3 in the All-Star Game, but his power returned with the resumption of the regular season. He's homered in his last three games for the Mariners, and he's up to 18 long balls on the year, including 10 across his last 14 contests. The outfielder's now at a .252/.358/.470 slash line with 49 RBI, 54 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 95 games, putting him within range of securing a fifth straight 20-20 season.

Robert went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks, two additional runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 10-1 win over the Pirates.

Robert filled up the stat sheet Friday, reaching base four times and showcasing his power-speed combo with his 10th home run and 23rd stolen base of the year. Since returning from the injured list, the 27-year-old outfielder has hit safely in six of seven games, going 7-for-21 (.333) with two home runs and four walks while continuing to anchor the middle of the White Sox's lineup.

Rave went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a three-run home run during Friday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins.

Rave not only hit his first career home run Friday, a three-run home run to pull the Royals within one, but he hit a second home run that tied the game at five and brought it to extras. It turned out to be in vain, as the Royals lost the game, but it's still likely the highlight of the rookie 27-year-old's career so far. Following this performance, Rave is slashing .194/.280/.333 on the season.

Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Friday's 8-6 win over the Athletics.

Playing in his 35th game, Rodriguez went deep for the first time in his big-league career to start the scoring Friday. It's a good sign for the 25-year-old as he looks to finally find his footing as an MLB player. He is slashing just .136/.247/.198 with eight RBI and 30 strikeouts in 81 career at-bats between this season and last season.
