Azocar went 3-for-4 with a stolen base, a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored for High-A Greenville on Wednesday.

Azocar, who started the year at Low-A Salem, has raked since his promotion to Greenville. Over 11 games for the Drive, the 19-year-old is slashing .333/.373/.604 with seven extra-base hits (two homers), nine RBI, two steals and 10 runs over 51 plate appearances. Across two stops in 2026, Azocar has 19 multi-hit efforts and leads the organization's minor-leaguers in hits (65), total bases (117) and runs (41) while ranking second in RBI (35).

Martinez batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

Martinez got it started in the first inning, hammering the second pitch he saw for his 11th home run of the season and second during the three-game set against New York. Those 11 homers (in 64 games) tie Martinez's career high, which he set last season across 139 regular-season games. The streaky hitter has hit in four consecutive games, going 6-for-18 with two home runs and four RBI.

Bleday went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to San Diego.

Bleday gave the Reds a lead in the seventh inning with his solo blast, but the team's bullpen coughed it up in the final two frames. The homer was the 11th for Bleday, who's become the Reds' primary left fielder since being called up in late April. Along with his 11 homers, Bleday has driven in 29 runs over 39 contests.

Steer started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Padres.

Steer snapped an 0-for-17 stretch with his two-run shot in the fourth inning, his 10th of the season. Steer started the season as an outfield regular but has been deployed mostly as an infielder since early May. Wednesday marked his his ninth start at second base and 10th overall at the keystone. He's also appeared in games at both corner-outfield spots, first base and third base.

Lile went 4-for-5 with a run scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 11-10 loss to the Giants.

All four knocks were singles, but it was still a very productive effort from the 23-year-old outfielder. Lile has three multi-hit performances in nine games to kick off June, slashing a blistering .382/.462/.529 to start the month with one home run, three steals, five runs and seven RBI.

Caglianone went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's extra-inning loss against the Rangers.

Caglianone's hot June continued, as he tallied a season-high four hits in the extra-inning affair. The right fielder has gone 14-for-26 (.538) with three homers, two doubles, eight RBI, seven runs, two stolen bases and five walks through eight appearances this month. After posting a modest .685 OPS through the end of May, this blistering stretch has boosted Caglianone's season OPS to .804 across 62 games.

Montgomery went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

After Montgomery delivered a walk-off homer in the 10th inning during his MLB debut Tuesday, the outfielder followed up that performance with two doubles Wednesday. The strong start shouldn't come as a complete surprise given his production in the minors, where he hit .306 with a .946 OPS across 55 games between Double-A and Triple-A prior to his promotion. Montgomery appears poised at the major-league level early in his tenure and should see consistent playing time in Chicago's outfield.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Smith had gone 10 games without a homer before lifting a solo shot off Chase Silseth in the eighth inning to tie the game at 2-2. During that power drought, Smith still had three extra-base hits and four RBI. The outfielder has endured a bit of a sophomore slump in 2026, batting .220 with a .675 OPS, seven homers, 26 RBI, 27 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 69 contests. While his numbers aren't particularly impressive, he continues to handle a starting role in right field.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Astros.

Trout is still looking for his first multi-hit effort in June. He has gone 10 games since his last such performance and has gone 5-for-38 (.132 average) with 16 strikeouts during that span. He's up to 15 long balls, six steals, 32 RBI, 50 runs scored and 10 doubles while batting .224 with an .843 OPS over 68 games on the year.

Chourio went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

Chourio went deep for his second homer in as many games. The outfielder has collected six multi-hit efforts over 10 games in June, batting .386 (17-for-44) this month. He's up to six homers, 20 RBI, 24 runs scored, five stolen bases and 11 doubles while hitting .304 with an .872 OPS across 32 contests this season.
