McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a run scored Tuesday against the Cubs.

McCarthy started his second consecutive game after being out of the lineup for five straight contests due to an illness. He tallied Colorado's first hit of Tuesday's game with a single to lead off the fourth inning and also came around to score in the same frame. McCarthy has four multi-hit performances in his last nine starts, and he's also scored five runs to go along with a stolen base in that span.

Jones went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the White Sox.

Jones got the Yankees on the board in the second inning, taking Davis Martin deep for a solo shot that marked his second homer of his rookie campaign. In his next trip to the plate, the outfielder drew a bases-loaded walk to force in another run. Since being recalled June 5, Jones has looked comfortable at the big-league level, going 7-for-22 (.318) with three extra-base hits and four walks. With how he has performed, the 25-year-old should continue to be in starting lineups against right-handers.

Reynolds went 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs, three total runs and three total RBI in a 6-5 win against the Athletics on Tuesday.

The A's got off to a 4-0 lead after one inning, but Pittsburgh managed to come back largely on the strength of Reynolds' bat. The veteran outfielder clubbed a solo shot in the sixth inning to close the deficit to two runs, and then tied the score 5-5 with a two-run blast to right field in the seventh. Reynolds extended his on-base streak to 23 games, a stretch during which he's batting .361 with six homers, eight doubles, 13 RBI, 19 runs and two stolen bases. That's pushed his season OPS to .870, his highest mark since the 2021 campaign.

Trout went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an RBI double in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Trout took a Merrill Kelly offering 436 feet to center field in the fifth inning for his second homer in as many days. He's gone 9-for-28 (.321) with five extra-base hits, five RBI and two stolen bases during a seven-game hitting streak. Trout is batting .233 with an .866 OPS, 17 homers, 36 RBI, 54 runs scored, 12 doubles and seven steals over 73 contests this season.

Slater went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Dodgers.

Slater has gone 6-for-22 (.273) with two doubles, two steals and one RBI over six games since he joined the Rays' big-league roster June 8. He was designated for assignment by the Mets in mid-May and elected free agency before signing with the Rays on May 26. He's played with three teams this season, batting .231 with a .578 OPS, three steals, three RBI, three doubles, six runs scored and no home runs over 73 plate appearances between the Rays, Mets and Marlins. Slater will likely fill a short-side platoon role in the outfield as long as he's with Tampa Bay.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies.

One night after collecting his first career cycle, Crow-Armstrong couldn't reproduce the volume of hits, but he still managed his 14th home run of the season. The 24-year-old has gone deep eight times in his last 16 games, and he's batting a robust .417 this month with 10 RBI and 11 runs scored. Crow-Armstrong is back to being a high-level fantasy star.

The Mariners selected Washington's contract from High-A Everett on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

With Randy Arozarena (hamstring) and Luke Raley (back) both sitting out Tuesday with injuries, the Mariners will promote Washington from High-A all the way to the majors to give depth to their outfield unit. The 26-year-old has slashed just .190/.280/.394 at Everett this season and is unlikely to play outside of an emergency.

The Mariners placed Arozarena on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left hamstring strain.

The Mariners originally anticipated Arozarena would return to the starting lineup as soon as Wednesday. However, an MRI on his hamstring revealed more inflammation than the team was expecting, prompting Seattle to deactivate him. Victor Robles and Rob Refsnyder are the most likely candidates to receive more playing time in the corner outfield while Arozarena is out, and the Mariners called up Curtis Washington from High-A Everett to provide emergency depth in the outfield.

Joe is expected to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Joe was scratched from Tacoma's lineup Tuesday as he prepares to return to the major-league roster after being sent down to Triple-A on May 22. The outfielder will help replace Randy Arozarena (hamstring) after Arozarena was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Joe has posted a .182 average with one home run, three RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases over 33 at-bats in 18 contests with Seattle so far this year.

Raley was left out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore due to back tightness, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Raley's back tightened up on him shortly before Tuesday's game, causing the Mariners to sit him down as a precaution. Victor Robles, Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone will start in the outfield while Raley gets a break.
