Bowen went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

This was Bowen's second multi-hit effort in July, though he hit safely in just four of 20 games during the month. The outfielder continues to fill more of a part-time role, making most of his starts as a platoon partner for Gavin Sheets in left field. Bowen hit .222 in July and is at .167 with a .456 OPS across 63 plate appearances this season. He's added one homer, six RBI, nine runs scored, two doubles and four stolen bases.

Harris went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Nationals.

Harris broke the game open with a 421-foot blast off Foster Griffin in the sixth inning, reaching the 20-homer mark for the second straight year. The 25-year-old entered the game on an 0-for-11 skid but will finish July with an .806 OPS, 14 extra-base hits and 21 RBI over 27 games. For the season, he's slashing .292/.321/.496 with 20 long balls, 64 RBI, 54 runs scored and six steals across 418 plate appearances.

Schmitt underwent a debridement of his lateral meniscus Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants said that Schmitt could be ready to return in roughly 6-to-8 weeks, but with San Francisco sitting at 47-62 -- well out of contention for a playoff spot -- the team likely won't be in any rush to bring him back and could opt to keep him out until 2027. Either way, he's expected to have a normal offseason and will be ready for the start of spring training.

Carrigg is absent from the lineup for Colorado's matchup with Kansas City on Friday.

After snapping a modest four-game hitting streak Wednesday, Carrigg will ride the pine for Friday's series opener against the Royals. Brenton Doyle, back from the injured list, will man center field and bat eighth for the Rockies.

The Rockies reinstated Doyle (groin) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Doyle has been out since May 21 after suffering a left oblique contusion and a subsequent groin injury. Prior to being sidelined, the 28-year-old batted .207/.279/.270 with one home run, four RBI and nine stolen bases in 122 plate appearances. Colorado optioned Braxton Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque to clear space for Doyle on the 26-man roster.

The Rockies will activate Doyle (groin) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Royals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Doyle has been sidelined since late May, first due to an oblique strain but more recently because of a strained groin. However, he has gone 10-for-21 with a home run since resuming his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque last week, clearing the way for his return. Doyle was not being used as an everyday player when he got hurt, and it might take the Rockies trading another outfielder to alter his playing time outlook.

Suzuki is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Yankees.

It's the first day off since June 25 for Suzuki, who is sporting a .978 OPS since the All-Star break. The Cubs will roll out Pedro Ramirez at third base while Alex Bregman gets a designated hitter day and Michael Conforto patrols right field.

Marsee went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Mets.

The center fielder provided the last bit of offense for the Marlins in a 4-2 loss by taking Nolan McLean deep in the seventh inning. It was Marsee's first long ball since July 3, snapping an 18-game drought, and over 74 plate appearances on the month he's compiled a .237/.375/.356 slash line with two homers, one steal, six RBI and 11 runs.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

Making the start in left field and batting eighth, Yastrzemski tied the game at 3-3 when he got hold of a hanging curveball from Jake Irvin in the fifth inning and drove it into the right-field seats. Yastrzemski hadn't gone yard since July 9, but he'd seen just 20 plate appearances in nine games between homers as he tries to hang onto a consistent spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching. Through 54 PAs in July, the 35-year-old has managed a .239/.333/.478 slash line with three of his seven home runs on the season, and 11 of his 30 RBI.

Acuna went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

The fourth-inning long ball off Jake Irvin was Acuna's first in four games since being activated from the IL, and just his second hit in 16 plate appearances. Injuries have limited the 28-year-old outfielder to just 57 contests this season, and Acuna has managed eight homers and 15 steals on the year with a tepid .244/.365/.416 slash line. There's still time for him to put together a big finish to his campaign, but he'll need to stay in the lineup to build any momentum.
