Chourio went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's loss to the Phillies.

Chourio launched a solo shot off Aaron Nola in the fifth inning before taking Jose Alvarado deep for a two-run homer in the seventh. He also added an RBI single in the eighth. The star outfielder is riding a six-game hitting streak and has four multi-hit performances over that stretch. Chourio has been outstanding of late and is hitting .407 with a 1.265 OPS, six homers, 17 RBI and 15 runs scored across 12 games since the beginning of June.

Marte started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Marte was the difference maker, cranking a go-ahead homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to secure the Reds' victory. He homered for the second time in as many days. Marte started in center field for the first time this season; until Saturday, he'd been a regular in right field since being recalled earlier this month.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Reds.

Carroll gave the Diamondbacks an early lead with a first-inning homer, but for a second consecutive game, the team couldn't take advantage of its opportunities. Arizona was 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left 12 runners on base. For Carroll, the home run was his 12th of the season and fifth in the last 11 contests.

Gurriel (hamstring) is expected to be reassessed after playing rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex Leage on Friday and Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Gurriel has played five of the last six days in the ACL, switching between left field and designated hitter. His addition will create a crowded outfield around Corbin Carroll, with Jordan Lawlar, Ryan Waldschmidt and Tommy Troy all vying for playing time.

Taylor went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Orioles.

Getting his sixth straight start in left field and batting sixth, Taylor took Trey Gibson deep in the first inning for a two-run shot before adding an RBI single in the fifth. While the long ball was his first in the majors in his 45th game, Taylor has hit safely in all six of those starts, batting .409 (9-for-22) during that hot streak with a double, two steals, four runs and eight RBI. With Miguel Andujar (hamstring) having joined Ramon Laureano (hip) on the IL, the door is open for the 27-year-old Taylor to lock down a starting spot in a big-league outfield for the first time since he made his debut with the Royals in 2023. He has little left to prove in the minors -- over 188 Triple-A games the last two seasons between El Paso and Tacoma in the Mariners' system, Taylor is batting .302 with 24 home runs and 53 stolen bases in 64 attempts.

Happ went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Giants.

Happ reached on a fielder's choice in the third inning and stole second, allowing Michael Busch to swipe home at the same time. While Happ is just 4-for-27 (.148) over his last eight games, three of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. The outfielder is batting .227 with an .827 OPS, 16 homers, 37 RBI, 46 runs scored, four steals, 13 doubles and two triples over 67 contests this season.

Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Giants.

Crow-Armstrong has logged at least one extra-base hit in four straight contests and in seven of 11 games in June. He's batting .383 (18-for-47) with five homers and seven RBI this month. The outfielder is now batting .263 with an .803 OPS, 12 homers, 15 stolen bases, 33 RBI, 42 runs scored, 11 doubles and three triples over 71 games. He has been the Cubs' primary leadoff hitter versus right-handers since late May.

White went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles and two total RBI in a 3-1 win against the Mets on Saturday.

White produced all three of Atlanta's extra-base hits in the victory and was responsible for all but one of the team's runs. He began the scoring with an RBI double in the second inning and added a solo blast to left field in the fourth. Saturday marked White's second start in four games since Ronald Acuna (hamstring) landed on the IL. Both of those starts have come against left-handed hurlers, while Mike Yastrzemski has started the two games in which Atlanta has faced a righty.

Suzuki exited Saturday's game against the Giants due to right knee discomfort, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Suzuki was removed from the game in the bottom of the fourth inning after he attempted to make a running catch in right field. The right knee is the same one he sustained a strained PCL during the World Baseball Classic, causing him to miss the first 12 games of the season. However, it's not clear if the current knee injury is related to the prior one. Matt Shaw replaced Suzuki in the outfield following his departure.

Suzuki was removed from Saturday's game against the Giants in the bottom of the fourth inning with an apparent injury, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Suzuki tried to make a running grab on a Matt Chapman single and came off the field with the training staff. Prior to leaving, Suzuki went 1-for-2 with an RBI single and a walk. Matt Shaw has replaced Suzuki in right field.
