Pages went 3-for-5 with a walk, three runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 12-3 victory versus Minnesota.

Pages was one of six Dodgers with multiple hits in the offensive onslaught, and he reached base four times in total. The outfielder was in need of a positive offensive performance, as he entered the game batting just .146 (6-for-41) with 12 strikeouts over his past 10 contests. Pages is nonetheless putting together a career-best campaign, slashing .269/.320/.481 with 15 home runs, 46 runs, 58 RBI and seven stolen bases through 338 plate appearances.

Call went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks and three total runs scored in a 12-3 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

Despite Los Angeles putting up 12 runs, the team hit only one homer -- Call's 368-foot poke to left field in the ninth inning. It was the first long ball of the season for the veteran outfielder, whose career-high total is just eight homers over 128 contests with Washington in 2023. Call has served in a fourth-outfielder role for the Dodgers throughout the campaign and is slashing a solid .270/.383/.350 with five doubles, 19 runs, 15 RBI, a stolen base and a 16:18 BB:K through 120 plate appearances. He could see more starts in the short term while Kyle Tucker nurses a back injury.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with two walks and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Mets.

Crow-Armstrong took Kodai Senga deep with two outs in the second inning, and the three-run shot ultimately was the difference in the game. The star outfielder has been on a power surge with 10 home runs so far across 18 games in June. Overall, Crow-Armstrong is up to 17 homers to go along with an .895 OPS and 18 stolen bases, and he's emerging as one of the most dynamic players in all of fantasy baseball due to his combination of power and speed.

Marsh went 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 14-9 win over the Nationals.

With the Phillies down 8-6 with two outs in the ninth inning, Marsh sparked an eight-run rally with a game-tying two-run shot off Brad Lord. It continued an All-Star-worthy campaign for the outfielder, who's now gone deep in three of his past seven games and six times overall in June. For the year, he's slashing .315/.347/.504 with 11 homers, 38 RBI, 43 runs scored and seven steals across 288 plate appearances.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said after Tuesday's game against the Cubs that Soto (back) is considered day-to-day, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Mendoza said that Soto's back locked up on him during the game, which had an impact on his ability to throw and swing. The fact that the team has labeled him as day-to-day bodes well for his chances of avoiding the injured list, though the 27-year-old star could still sit out a game or two as a precaution. MJ Melendez and Eric Wagaman would be candidates to start in the outfield during any games Soto might miss.

Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

Nimmo came on strong late, homering in the eighth inning before adding an RBI triple in the ninth. While the long ball was his first of the month, the 33-year-old is hitting .312 in June and is riding a seven-game hitting streak that includes five multi-hit efforts. On the year, he's slashing .271/.337/.435 with eight home runs, 28 RBI, 32 runs scored and three steals across 332 plate appearances.

Hernandez 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

Hernandez was a consistent contributor all game, highlighted by a solo homer that put the Marlins on the board in the second inning. It continued a strong June for the 26-year-old, who's tallied six of his eight home runs for the year through 16 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .235/.306/.425 with 29 RBI, 17 runs scored and five steals to go along with the aforementioned eight long balls across 170 plate appearances.

Caglianone went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 12-5 win over the Rays.

Caglianone launched a solo homer in the first inning before adding a two-run shot in the fifth, notching his second multi-homer effort in three games and third overall in June. The 23-year-old has now gone deep six times over his past five games, driving in 10 runs during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .277/.349/.498 with 14 long balls, 30 RBI, 38 runs scored and three steals across 281 plate appearances.

Soto was removed from Tuesday's contest against the Cubs in the fifth inning due to left side back tightness.

Soto was spotted wearing a heating pad on his back earlier in the game, and the Mets ultimately decided to take him out of the game after the fourth inning. The 27-year-old went 0-for-2 in his two at-bats, and more information on his status will likely be provided in the near future. In the meantime, Jared Young has shifted to left field while Mark Vientos has now entered the lineup at first base.

Clarke (hamstring) has started to play catch and has also begun a swinging progression, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Clarke originally landed on the injured list in April due to a bone bruise in his foot, but he strained his left hamstring while playing in a rehab game in late May. He's still expected to remain sidelined through the All-Star break, though his return to activity is an encouraging sign of progress in his recovery. That said, Henry Bolte has filled in admirably as Clarke's replacement in center field, so the latter may not have much of an impact on the big club once he's activated.
