Lee went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Lee singled and stole second in the third inning before lining a double and coming around to score in the sixth. The 27-year-old outfielder has cooled off recently, batting .227 in 23 plate appearances over his last six games. However, he's still slashing .403/.415/.516 with 13 runs scored, seven RBI, four stolen bases and a home run across 65 plate appearances in June.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Brewers.

The veteran outfielder took Abner Uribe deep in the seventh inning, providing Atlanta with a needed insurance run in an eventual 3-2 victory. The long ball was Yastrzemski's first since May 21, snapping a 20-game drought, and just his fourth of the season. While working primarily in a strong-side platoon role, he's managed just a .230/.318/.353 slash line over 211 plate appearances with 19 RBI and 27 runs on the year.

Caissie went 3-for-3 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 4-3 win over the Giants.

The 23-year-old outfielder got the Marlins on the board in the first inning with a solo shot off Landen Roupp, but it was Caissie's sacrifice fly in the seventh that ended up producing the game-winning run. He's gone yard in back-to-back contests, giving him eight homers on the season, but over 13 games in June, Caissie's still slashing just .167/.238/.472 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate.

Barrosa entered Friday's game as a pinch runner and finished out Arizona's 9-5 win over the Twins in center field. He went 0-for-1 in his lone plate appearance.

Barrosa, who initially entered as a pinch runner for left fielder Lourdes Gurriel in the seventh inning, stayed in the game to play center field while Jordan Lawlar moved to left. An inning later, Lawlar was removed from the game due to a hamstring injury and potentially faces a second stint on the IL this season. If Lawlar misses time, either Barrosa or Tommy Troy could play center field.

Troy entered Friday's game as a pinch runner after Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) was removed in the eighth inning. The former did not register a plate appearance but scored a run and finished Arizona's 9-5 win over Minnesota in left field.

Lawlar, who has been the primary center fielder since coming off the injured list earlier this month, will undergo imaging Saturday and could end up on the IL again, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Troy has played only in left field since being called up to Arizona but has center-field experience in the minors. If Lawlar misses time, Troy or Jorge Barrosa could defend center field.

Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 16-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Suzuki was one of three Chicago players with three hits as the Cubs rolled to the easy win. The outfielder is in a nice groove lately with three straight multi-hit efforts, and he's slashing .353/.441/.627 in 16 games this month with three home runs, 10 runs scored and 12 RBI. Suzuki should continue to produce at a high level as a key cog in Chicago's offensive attack.

Lawlar will undergo an MRI on Saturday after suffering a right hamstring strain in Friday's win over the Twins, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Lawlar just returned from a wrist injury last week and is now facing the possibility of another IL stint depending on the severity of the strain. When asked whether he's optimistic about what the MRI will show, Lawlar said, "I'll wait for the imaging and then let you know." Jorge Barrosa has struggled at the plate with a .549 OPS this season, but he has been a plus player defensively for Arizona and would likely step in as the top center fielder should Lawlar have to miss more than a few days.

Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-3 with two walks, an RBI, a run scored and two steals in Friday's 16-2 win over the Blue Jays.

The 24-year-old was a perfect leadoff man Friday, reaching base in all five of his plate appearances before getting some rest late in the blowout. Crow-Armstrong extended his hit streak to nine games in the process, and he's batting .474 (18-for-38) with 10 extra-base hits, four stolen bases, six RBI and eight runs during that span to boost his season-long OPS to .869.

Carroll went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a walk, four RBI and one run scored in Friday's 9-5 win over the Twins.

Carroll's three-run triple in the eighth inning gave the Diamondbacks some breathing room. The speedy outfielder hadn't hit a three-bagger since he had two of them versus the Rockies on May 24, but he nonetheless still leads the majors in triples with nine, three ahead of Luis Arraez. In June, Carroll is hitting .269 (18-for-67) with 10 extra-base hits over 17 games. He's up to a .283 average, .925 OPS, 13 home runs, 42 RBI, 46 runs scored, 16 doubles and nine stolen bases over 72 contests this season.

Reynolds (groin) went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Friday's game against the Rockies.

Reynolds was a late scratch from the lineup, but he entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and managed to deliver an RBI single. While that was a positive indication that his injury isn't particularly serious, Reynolds was immediately removed from the game in favor of a pinch runner. Injury aside, Reynolds is in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 16-for-38 with four homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored.
