    Tatis went 2-for-5 with a home run, four RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Royals.

    Tatis drove in runs on three separate occasions, highlighted by a solo shot in the sixth inning. It marked the second straight contest in which the 27-year-old tallied a homer and a stolen base, and he's gone 6-for-12 overall in three games since returning from the All-Star break. On the season, he's slashing .284/.347/.393 with seven long balls, 41 RBI, 49 runs scored and 25 steals across 430 plate appearances.

  • Riley Greene LF | DET

    Tigers' Riley Greene: Late homer not enough

    Greene went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

    Greene cut the deficit to one run in the ninth inning, but the Tigers couldn't find the tying run. Greene has gone 12-for-44 (.273) over 13 games in July, adding seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI this month. Overall, the outfielder is batting .286 with an .846 OPS, 14 homers, 47 RBI, 50 runs scored, two stolen bases, 20 doubles and one triple over 98 contests. While it's a decent performance overall, Greene has taken a noticeable step back in most counting stats compared to where he was last year.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Logs pair of steals

    Young went 1-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and two stolen bases in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

    Young has logged three steals over his last three games. He continues to fill a part-time role in the Nationals' outfield, though he has gone 6-for-20 (.300) at the plate over his seven games in July. Overall, he's batting .225 with a .654 OPS, eight home runs, 11 steals, 32 RBI and 36 runs scored over 298 plate appearances.

  • Dylan Crews RF | WAS

    Nationals' Dylan Crews: Slugs homer in win

    Crews went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

    Crews had gone just 1-for-19 over his previous five games, and he'd gone eight contests without a homer. The outfielder went back-to-back with CJ Abrams in the fifth inning as the Nationals built up their lead. Crews is hitting .210 with a .634 OPS, seven homers, 20 RBI, 29 runs scored, six doubles and six stolen bases over 50 contests this season. He continues to see fairly steady playing time around Washington's outfield.

  • Corbin Carroll RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Day-to-day with elbow issue

    Carroll suffered a hyperextended right elbow during Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Cardinals, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Carroll sustained the injury in the seventh inning when he struck out swinging in what would be his final at-bat of the contest. The outfielder is considered to be day-to-day according to manager Torey Lovullo, and Carroll will not require any additional imaging. He has a chance to play Monday against the Athletics. Fantasy managers everywhere can perhaps all breathe a collective sigh of relief.

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Departs with injury Sunday

    Carroll was removed from Sunday's contest against the Cardinals in the ninth inning with an undisclosed injury, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Carroll was spotted grimacing after striking out swinging in his fourth at-bat of the day in the seventh inning, and he was replaced at the plate by Jorge Barrosa with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Carroll finished his day having gone 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts, and more information on the exact diagnosis of his injury will likely be provided in the near future.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Registers ninth steal

    Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Mariners.

    Schmitt is hitting .254 (15-for-59) with three home runs, seven RBI and two steals over 14 contests in July. The utility man is now batting .278 with a .795 OPS, 19 home runs, nine steals, 50 RBI and 44 runs scored over 91 contests. He'll volume his way to career highs in most areas this season, though he's coupled that with a better ability to put the ball in play -- he's posted a meager 2.6 percent walk rate, but his 19.2 percent strikeout rate is notably improved compared to previous years.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Hits go-ahead homer

    Raley went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

    Raley came off the bench for Weston Wilson in the sixth inning and delivered a go-ahead homer. Raley had gone 21 games without a long ball, batting just .164 with three RBI and a 3:20 BB:K in that span. He's hitting .230 with a .746 OPS, 15 homers, 37 RBI, 26 runs scored, one stolen base, nine doubles and a triple over 85 contests. The recent downward trend could lead to him becoming a bench bat if he doesn't turn things around, though he should still see a decent amount of time against right-handed pitchers as a left-handed hitter.

  • Pirates' Esmerlyn Valdez: Homers again in win

    Valdez went 1-for-3 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Guardians.

    Valdez had a classic three-true-outcomes game, walking twice and striking out twice before launching a two-run shot in the ninth inning. The 22-year-old is now riding a seven-game hitting streak, going deep six times with 15 RBI and eight runs scored during that span. He's slashing a ridiculous .305/.373/.733 with 12 homers, 32 RBI and 23 runs scored across his first 118 major-league plate appearances.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Headed to bench

    Edman is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Edman will get a breather in the nightcap after he went 2-for-4 with three runs scored in the team's 8-2 matinee victory Sunday. Miguel Rojas will take over at second base and bat sixth in the series finale.
