Clase went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Giants.

This was Clase's first start of the season since his call-up last Wednesday. The outfielder delivered a big hit early on, going deep off Trevor McDonald in the second inning. Clase potentially has a clearer path to playing time moving forward, as Yohendrick Pinango was demoted to Triple-A Buffalo ahead of Tuesday's contest. Clase could get a share of the playing time in left field while Jesus Sanchez (ankle) remains on the injured list.

Osuna went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk Tuesday in an 8-3 victory against the Angels.

With Texas holding a 5-3 lead in the eighth inning, Osuna broke things open by belting a 364-foot, three-run blast to right field. It was his first homer of the campaign in his 57th game. Osuna went deep just twice across 63 regular-season contests last year, so he's clearly not someone to expect big power from, though he did hit 18 homers in 102 contests across two minor-league levels in 2024. He profiles as a light-hitting contact bat in the majors, and through 182 plate appearances this season he's slashing .252/.343/.296 with four doubles, 20 runs, 18 RBI, four stolen bases and a 15:25 BB:K.

Fairchild signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Sunday.

Fairchild elected free agency Friday after being outrighted off Cleveland's 40-man roster, and it didn't take long for him to find another home. He'll begin his tenure with the Mariners in the Arizona Complex League, but he'll likely end up landing in Triple-A, where he slashed .289/.417/.479 across 176 plate appearances while in the Guardians' farm system.

Wood went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during the Nationals' 6-3 loss to the Astros on Tuesday.

Wood wasted no time in getting the Nationals on the board, taking the second pitch he saw from Tatsuya Imai deep to right-center field for a solo home run in the first inning. Wood continues to rake at the plate, and over his last eight games he has gone 12-for-29 (.414) with five home runs, 12 RBI, one steal and 11 runs scored. His .949 OPS and 25 home runs rank fourth and sixth, respectively, in the majors this season.

Caissie went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk during Miami's 6-5 extra-inning win over Seattle on Tuesday.

Caissie opened Tuesday's scoring with a 418-foot solo home run to right-center field off Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo. It was the 12th home run of the season for Caissie, who has gone deep in three of his last six games. He has a .239 batting average over 246 plate appearances this season, but Caissie has been better at the plate of late, going 12-for-38 (.316) with one steal, four homers and 11 RBI over his last 15 games.

Double-A Rocket City placed Scull on its 7-day injured list Tuesday due to an unspecified injury.

Scull hasn't played since June 24 due to the injury. After receiving a promotion from High-A Tri-City on June 9, Scull got off to a slow start at Rocket City, slashing just .220/.238/.293 with a 1:12 BB:K in 12 games.

Hernandez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in the Marlins' 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Hernandez pinch hit for Griffin Conine in the eighth inning, and Hernandez answered the call with a game-tying solo home run off Gabe Speier. It was the 12th long ball of the season for Hernandez, four of which have come over his last four games. He has gone 8-for-20 (.400) with six RBI, six runs scored and seven extra-base hits over his last seven games.

Double-A Pensacola placed Lewis on its 7-day injured list June 27 due to a broken hamate bone in his wrist, FishOnFirst.com reports.

The Marlins haven't issued a target date Lewis' return, but the typical timeline for hamate fractures is 6-to-8 weeks. With that in mind, Lewis appears likely to be sidelined through at least mid-August, with his absence potentially extending into September. Before going down with the injury, the 23-year-old outfielder slashed .240/.315/.512 with 17 home runs and 14 stolen bases over 66 games.

Marsee went 2-for-4 with two RBI during the Marlins' 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Marsee extended Miami's lead to 3-0 with an RBI single in the third inning, but he made his biggest contribution in the 10th with a long, towering single that brought Xavier Edwards home for the game-winning run. This marks the fifth time this season that Marsee has logged at least two RBI and he's reached base safely in each of his last five games, going 5-for-15 with one home run, three RBI and four runs scored over that span.

Bolte went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Tigers. He was also hit by a pitch.

Bolte got the Athletics within one run early with a 411-foot blast off Tarik Skubal in the third inning. The rookie is off to a nice start in July, hitting safely in four of five games with two multi-hit efforts and four runs scored during that span. Overall, he's slashing .292/.373/.385 with three homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and 11 steals across his first 186 major-league plate appearances.
