Caissie went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

He also struck out two more times, but Caissie provided what proved to be crucial insurance runs in the fifth inning when he took Jose Corniell deep on a first-pitch changeup that caught way too much of the plate. Caissie's up to nine homers on the season, and four of them have come over 17 contests in June -- a stretch in which he's slashing .191/.273/.489 with six runs, 14 RBI and a 32.7 percent strikeout rate.

Soto (back) is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cubs.

Soto had to leave Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to left side back tightness, so it's not a surprise he's sitting for the first game of a double dip. He is considered day-to-day. MJ Melendez is grabbing a start in left field in Soto's place.

Troy started in center field and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 win over St. Louis.

The Diamondbacks have rotated bodies in center field since Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) landed on the injured list. It was Troy's turn Tuesday after Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa took turns the last two days. Of the three, Troy has been the most impactful batter and could be the primary center fielder while Lawlar heals. Troy had mainly defended left field, but that's not a full-time option any longer with Lourdes Gurriel back from injury.

Gurriel started in left field, batted seventh and went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Cardinals.

Gurriel plated two runs with a single as part of Arizona's four-run ninth inning. He had served as the designated hitter in his last two outings but was back in left field Tuesday. Gurriel's .552 OPS in 2026 is by far the lowest mark of his career, which may be the reason he hit out of the seven hole for a second consecutive game.

Harris went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to San Diego.

Harris was in the leadoff spot for the third time this season, all of which have come since June 10. He's had a couple of bouts of back tightness in June, but he's hit well this month when available, going 18-for-56 (.321) over his last 15 games. The outfielder is batting .310 with an .863 OPS, 14 home runs, four stolen bases, 42 RBI, 37 runs scored and 13 doubles through 72 contests this season.

Taylor went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

This was Taylor's third three-hit effort of the season. The speedster has also racked up five steals. Taylor is batting .370 with an .877 OPS, one home run, nine RBI, 11 runs scored and one double over 15 contests since he joined the Padres' big-league roster in early June. He continues to occupy a starting role in the corner outfield, moving between left and right depending on where Fernando Tatis is stationed on a game-by-game basis.

Tatis went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Tatis picked up his sixth multi-hit effort in his last 13 games, a span in which he's gone 20-for-55 (.364). This was his second game during that stretch with multiple extra-base hits. Tatis is up to a .286 average and .718 OPS this season, and he's added three homers, 18 stolen bases, 28 RBI, 34 runs scored, 14 doubles and a triple over 77 contests.

Lee went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Athletics.

Lee entered June on a surge at the plate, and while that's tapered off, he still has four multi-hit efforts over his last seven games. The outfielder is batting .403 (29-for-72) this month with two homers, and he's logged all five of his steals on the year in that span. Overall, he's hitting .331 with an .835 OPS, five homers, 27 RBI, 40 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples through 70 contests.

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.

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.
