Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Brewers.

Marte tied the game with a homer in the second inning off of Shane Drohan that just stayed fair down the left-field line. This was Marte's second time going yard in his last six games, and all five of his home runs this season have come since the Reds recalled him from Triple-A Louisville in early June. Since getting called back up to the majors, the 24-year-old has a .225/.286/.493 slash line with nine extra-base hits, three steals, eight RBI and 11 runs in 22 games.

Benge went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-3 loss the Blue Jays.

Benge pushed his hitting streak up to seven games and his on-base streak to 14 on Wednesday. The rookie outfielder is serving as the Mets' primary right fielder, though it'll be interesting to see if the eventual return of Luis Robert (back) will result in an adverse effect on Benge's playing time. Through 343 plate appearances, Benge is slashing a middling .259/.318/.402 with 10 homers, 34 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 45 runs scored.

Wood went 2-for-4 with two walks, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 10-2 rout of the Red Sox.

The star outfielder wrapped up the scoring for the Nationals by taking Alec Gamboa deep in the seventh inning, giving Wood his 22nd homer of the season. The star outfielder went 13 straight games without going yard in the second half of June, but Wood's bat could be heating back up -- over his last six games he's gone 8-for-24 (.333) with two doubles, two home runs and six RBI.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 23-3 win over the Padres.

Crow-Armstrong batted leadoff for the Cubs and enjoyed a great offensive performance as the team rolled to 17 hits and eight home runs overall. The star outfielder showed off his impressive combination of power and speed, and he's now up 19 home runs and 21 stolen bases for the season. In the past 33 games, he has a 1.218 OPS with 26 RBI and 28 runs scored. Crow-Armstrong is trending toward reaching the 30-30 plateau for the second straight year after blasting 31 home runs and swiping 35 bags during the 2025 regular season.

Conforto went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, four RBI and four total runs scored in Wednesday's 23-3 win over the Padres.

Conforto hit two of Chicago's eight total home runs in the blowout victory. It was the veteran's first multi-homer performance of the season, and he's now up to seven long balls overall across 56 contests. Conforto is expected to see a short-term increase in playing time with Matt Shaw (hand) recently landing on the injured list, and so far he is off to a strong start.

Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a home run, three RBI and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 23-3 win over the Padres.

The Cubs rattled off 17 hits and eight home runs, and Suzuki was right in the middle of the romp as he recorded his 100th career long ball in the process. The outfielder extended his hitting streak to six games, during which he's batting .423 with three homers and 11 RBI. Suzuki has rounded into form as the summer heats up and has a .999 OPS in 26 contests since the start of June.

Conine is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

With southpaw Kyle Freeland on the hill for Colorado, Conine will ride the pine for Wednesday's matchup despite putting together a four-hit performance Tuesday. Owen Caissie will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth for the Marlins.

Frelick is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

With southpaw Andrew Abbott toeing the slab, Frelick will ride the bench while in the midst of a six-game hit streak, during which he's gone 9-for-18 with two walks and three doubles. Jake Bauers will take over in right field and bat cleanup.

Bleday is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

The left-handed-hitting Bleday was included in the lineup against a lefty starter (Robert Gasser) in the series opener, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday while Milwaukee sends another southpaw (Shane Drohan) to the bump. Ivan Johnson will replace Bleday in left field in what will be his first MLB start.

Carrigg is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Carrigg will hit the bench after he started the Rockies' last three games while going 4-for-11 with a double, a stolen base and two runs. The Rockies will go with a starting outfield of Troy Johnston, Jake McCarthy and Tyler Freeman on Wednesday.
