Wade Meckler LF | LAA
Angels' Wade Meckler: Reaches four times in victory
Meckler went 1-for-2 with a double, three walks, three runs and two RBI in a 10-1 win over the Astros on Tuesday.
Meckler continued what has been an excellent start to his tenure with the Angels, reaching base in four plate appearances for the second time over his past seven games. The 26-year-old registered one of his team's two extra-base hits with a double and crossed the plate three times. Meckler has started each of the Angels' past seven games and has taken over as the team's primary left fielder. He's slashing an impressive .340/.417/.547 with two homers, 10 runs, 12 RBI, two stolen bases and a 7:10 BB:K through 60 plate appearances.

Mickey Moniak LF | COL
Rockies' Mickey Moniak: No change of directon
Moniak (ankle) has not begun testing his ability to change direction while running, MLB.com reports.
The positive news is that Moniak has resumed hitting and throwing, while also doing some running. However, he has not been scheduled to test his ability to change direction, meaning he is still some time away from returning.

Cole Carrigg CF | COL
Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Strokes triple in MLB debut
Carrigg went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk in Tuesday's 7-3 win against the Cubs.
Carrigg was called up from Triple-A on Tuesday and started in center field while batting seventh. The 24-year-old flashed his speed in his big-league debut when he legged out a triple on a ball he hit down the right-field line. Carrigg could earn himself an everyday role if he hits well immediately, especially given that outfielders Jordan Beck (hamstring), Mickey Moniak (ankle), Brenton Doyle (oblique) and Tyler Freeman (concussion) are all currently on the injured list.

Spencer Jones CF | NYY
Yankees' Spencer Jones: Launches first career home run
Jones went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 3-2 win against Cleveland.
Jones launched a 443-foot two-run shot off Slade Cecconi in the second inning that opened the scoring. It was his first career MLB homer, and it looked like anything but a young player finding his footing. After he hit .167 in 10 games before he was sent back down, he's now hitting .500 across four games since being recalled. The strikeout rate has been a well-documented concern -- he's posted a 32.4 percent strikeout rate at Triple-A this season -- so the plate discipline bears watching, but with how banged up New York's outfield is at the moment, Jones should see playing time for the foreseeable future.

Corbin Carroll RF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Goes deep again
Carroll went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during the Diamondbacks' 10-6 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.
Carroll opened Tuesday's scoring with a solo home run in the first and tied things up at 6-6 in the eighth when his groundball out brought Tommy Troy home. Carroll is up to 11 home runs on the season, four of which have come over his last seven games. He is slashing .283/.372/.558 with seven steals, 33 RBI and 42 runs over 269 plate appearances this season.

Riley Greene LF | DET
Tigers' Riley Greene: Provides jolt Tuesday
Greene went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, an additional run scored and two total RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Twins.
Greene ended a mini 0-for-7 slump over his previous two games with his seventh home run of the season in an easy Detroit win. The star outfielder is batting .316 over his last 10 contests with three long balls, five runs scored and six RBI. It looks like Greene is hitting his stride as he continues to drive the offense for the Tigers, and he remains a top-flight fantasy option.

Ronald Acuna Jr. RF | ATL
Braves' Ronald Acuna: Deemed day-to-day
Manager Walt Weiss said after Tuesday's game against the White Sox that Acuna is day-to-day with left hamstring tightness, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
Acuna went on the injured list in early May due to a left hamstring strain, though Weiss noted that his latest injury doesn't seem to be as severe. The outfielder will undergo an MRI on Wednesday just in case. Eli White entered Tuesday's contest as Acuna's replacement and could be in line for additional starts if Acuna needs to miss another game or two.

Jac Caglianone RF | KC
Royals' Jac Caglianone: Powers offense to victory
Caglianone went 3-for-3 with two home runs, a walk and three total RBI in a 5-3 win against Texas on Tuesday.
The Rangers were unable to retire Caglianone in the contest, as he reached base in all four of his plate appearances. The 23-year-old's two long balls combined to travel a whopping 852 feet, and the two-homer game was his second as a big leaguer. Caglianone has begun June on a roll, batting .476 (10-for-21) with two homers, seven RBI, a stolen base and a 5:5 BB:K through seven games. With eight homers in 61 contests on the campaign, he's surpassed the seven home runs he slugged across 62 games as a rookie last year.
