Bleday went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Wednesday's 9-1 loss to the Mets.

Bleday's second-inning sacrifice fly was all the Reds could muster. He's shown a penchant for delivering with runners in scoring position, posting a .915 OPS and 20 RBI over 38 at-bats with RISP. Bleday's 35 RBI in just 45 games rank third on the team.

Troy started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Angels.

Troy evened the game at 1-1 with a second-inning triple and then singled home a run in the sixth. He's scuffled following a strong introduction to the majors and entered Wednesday on a 2-for-24 (.083) stretch. Despite that, he held onto a roster spot when Lourdes Gurriel was brought back from the injured list Monday. Instead, the Diamondbacks optioned Ryan Waldschmidt back to Triple-A Reno. Gurriel is expected to get the bulk of the work in left field, and it's unclear how long Arizona will keep Troy around in a role where the prospect isn't getting a steady dose of at-bats.

Antonacci went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Yankees.

Antonacci flipped to the bottom of the order with lefty Carlos Rodon on the mound, but he still managed to pop his third home run of the season in the ninth inning against Jake Bird. Antonacci has now gone yard in two of his last three starts, and he also has at least one hit in six of his last seven games. Despite that recent power surge, Antonacci's primary fantasy appeal remains his ability to make consistent contact, get on base and score runs, as he has a .279 batting average with 33 runs scored across 54 games.

Bolte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 12-4 loss to the Pirates.

After seeing a seven-game hitting streak snapped Tuesday while striking out three times, Bolte went deep in the seventh inning Wednesday for his second homer of June. The outfielder is hitting .310 with an .801 OPS, two homers, eight RBI, 11 runs scored, five doubles and six stolen bases over 32 contests this year. Bolte hit for modest power in the minors, aside from earlier this year when he clubbed 12 homers in 37 games for Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his call-up to the majors. His contact skills have been better than expected early in his big-league career, though he still has a 29.2 percent strikeout rate.

O'Hearn went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and six RBI in Wednesday's 12-4 win over the Athletics.

O'Hearn delivered two RBI with each of his hits. He doubled in the first inning, homered in the fourth and singled in the seventh while accounting for half of the Pirates' run production in a career-best effort. O'Hearn is batting .290 with an .826 OPS, 11 homers, 41 RBI, 33 runs scored, eight doubles and one stolen base over 60 contests this season. He remains a fixture in the lineup versus right-handed pitchers.

Rodriguez was pulled from Wednesday's game against Baltimore due to hamstring spasms, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Manager Dan Wilson said that Rodriguez's hamstring began to bother him after he made a leaping grab in center field, so the Mariners took him out of the game as a precaution. The team may err on the side of caution and hold him out of Thursday's series finale as well, though no decision has been made just yet.

Thompson went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a double in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs.

Thompson homered in the third and fifth innings. This was his first multi-hit effort since June 5, though he's had a tough time getting into the lineup over the last couple of weeks. The left-handed-hitting outfielder has lost out on a regular role as the Rockies get healthier, with Jake McCarthy (illness) rejoining the lineup Tuesday. McCarthy is likely to handle a starting role in left field, so Thompson's time with the big club could come to a close the next time a spot on the 26-man roster needs to be opened. So far this season, Thompson is batting .242 with a .722 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, seven runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 69 plate appearances.

Schneemann went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers.

The Guardians' only runs of the game came off Schneemann's blast to right field off Brandon Sproat in the fourth inning for his second homer in the past three contests. Schneemann started the game at third base, filling in for the injured Jose Ramirez (hand). The 29-year-old Schneemann figures to see plenty of action at the hot corner going forward with Ramirez out but will likely continue to be utilized across the diamond.

Rodriguez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Orioles with an apparent injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a run scored and two strikeouts before leaving the game in the seventh inning. The details of his injury remain unknown, but the Mariners should provide some clarity in the near future.

Chourio went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Guardians.

Chourio extended the Brewers lead to 7-4 in the fourth inning with a homer off of Gavin Williams just over the right-field fence. Fresh off of winning NL Co-Player of the Week with teammate Jacob Misiorowski, Chourio hit his eighth blast of June on Wednesday and has a slash line of .385/.431/.815 with 20 RBI and 17 runs through 15 games this month.
