Happ went 2-for-4 with two homers, one walk and four RBI in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Mariners.

Happ got things going early Saturday with a leadoff homer, then followed it up with a three-run blast in the second inning. While his season power numbers are respectable -- a .423 SLG and 25 extra-base hits -- the left fielder has ramped things up in June, slugging .600 with 10 extra-base hits, including four homers in the last three games.

Pages went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Nationals.

Pages struck out three times but made his one hit count, going yard in the fifth inning. The emerging young star has homered four times and racked up 10 RBI over his past seven games. Pages is up to 16 home runs and 52 RBI on the season, tying for 15th-most and 13th-most, respectively, in MLB in those categories.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Nationals.

Hernandez belted a 350-foot homer in the ninth inning, but it wasn't enough to bring the Dodgers back for a win. The long ball was the veteran outfielder's first since he went deep in three consecutive games June 11-14. Since that three-game stretch he's mostly struggled, batting .231 with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate over seven contests.

Freeman went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Freeman has been trending up lately, batting first or second in six of the Rockies' last seven games. He was atop the lineup Saturday, swapping places with Jordan Beck against Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly. Freeman has hit safely in 17 of 19 games in June, going 23-for-56 (.411) with an 8:2 BB:K this month. Overall, he's at a .326/.417/.442 slash line with one home run, 10 RBI, 17 runs scored and seven steals on 10 attempts through 115 plate appearances.

Beck went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Beck was responsible for both of the Rockies' scoring plays in this contest. He gave them a 2-1 lead with his first-inning homer, and while he grounded into a double play in the third, it led to the Rockies scoring their third run. The outfielder has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 6-for-25 (.240) with five extra-base hits and six RBI in that span. For the season, he's at a .261/.319/.477 slash line with 10 homers, 26 RBI, 36 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 66 games. His 28.1 percent strikeout rate is still a limiting factor, but Beck has made significant gains after posting a .521 OPS in 55 contests as a rookie in 2024.

Tatis went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

Tatis gave the Padres some breathing room with his two-out homer in the seventh inning. His slump at the plate had reached 15 hitless at-bats prior to the long ball, which was his first homer since May 27 versus the Marlins. In that 21-game power drought, he batted .237 and slugged .289, though his 15:13 BB:K in that span helped him get on base at a .383 clip. Overall, Tatis is at a .268/.357/.461 slash line with 14 homers, 34 RBI, 56 runs scored and 15 stolen bases over 74 contests this season.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Phillies.

Nimmo got the Mets on the board with a solo homer in the first inning and went deep again in the third. Over his past 10 games, the 32-year-old has notched five multi-hit efforts while tallying five home runs, seven RBI, seven runs scored and two steals. For the season, he's slashing .249/.312/.465 with 15 long balls, 41 RBI, 36 runs scored and six stolen bases across 301 plate appearances.

Soto went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Phillies.

Soto homered in the third and fifth innings before adding a two-run single in the eighth, marking his first four-hit performance of the season. The 26-year-old is now sporting a 1.208 OPS in June, with six multi-hit efforts and seven home runs through 19 games. On the year, he's slashing .256/.393/.484 with 16 long balls, 41 RBI, 54 runs scored and eight steals across 341 plate appearances.

Collins went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Twins.

The switch-hitting rookie extended his hitting streak to five games with another big performance -- during those five contests, Collins is batting .368 (7-for-19) with two doubles, two homers, six runs and eight RBI. With Garrett Mitchell (oblique) injuring his shoulder Friday during his rehab assignment, Jackson Chourio's stint in center field will last at least a little bit longer, giving Collins more time to make an impact in left.

Carroll (hand) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Carroll will sit out a third consecutive game after taking a pitch off his hand Wednesday. Manager Torey Lovullo said before Friday's contest that the star outfielder is "very close" to returning, so a trip to the IL doesn't seem imminent, though that could change if he doesn't rejoin the starting nine soon. Randal Grichuk will start in right field Saturday and bat fifth.
