Acuna went 2-for-3 with one walk, three stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

It was just Acuna's ninth start since the beginning of May. He made noise on the bases Tuesday, generating Chicago's first run on his own. After a leadoff walk in the third inning, Acuna stole second and third before scoring when Alex Jackson threw the ball into left field on the second swiped bag. Acuna showed what he can do when he gets on base, but getting on base has been the problem for him this season. Acuna is slashing a miserable .179/.233/.189 with one extra-base hit, five RBI, 12 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and a 7:21 BB:K across 117 plate appearances.

Tatis went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.

Extra-base hits have been hard to come by for Tatis this season, but he doubled to lead off the game before adding a couple groundball singles later in the contest. The 27-year-old has six multi-hit performances in the last eight contests, batting a blistering .485 (16-for-33) over that stretch, but just three of those knocks -- two doubles and his first homer of 2026 -- have gone for extra bases.

Shaw (back) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, going hitless in three plate appearances.

Shaw started the game in center field in what was his first game action in over two weeks. He should not require many more, if any, rehab at-bats before returning to the Cubs' active roster. Shaw is working his way back from mid-back tightness.

Steer went 2-for-4 with two solo homers and three runs scored in Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Royals.

Both of Steer's homers came against lefties, as he took starter Noah Cameron deep in the fifth inning before tagging reliever Matt Strahm for a solo blast in the eighth. It was Steer's first multi-homer game of the season and snapped an 18-game homer drought. Since the beginning May, Steer is hitting .312 with four home runs, 13 RBI, 24 runs scored and an .848 OPS. For the season, Steer is slashing .277/.351/.461 with nine home runs, 23 RBI, 37 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 21:48 BB:K across 231 plate appearances.

Langford (forearm) started in left field and went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday.

Langford participated in his third rehab game after playing two over the weekend for Triple-A Round Rock. He did a little of everything and appears ready to rejoin the Rangers later this week when they kick off a series against the Guardians on Friday, per Joe Harris and Theo DeRosa of MLB.com.

Kwan started in left field and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Yankees.

Kwan made an impact in his first game back from a stay on the bereavement list. He was back in what has now become a familiar spot -- seventh in the batting order. The erstwhile leadoff hitter lost that job earlier this season under the weight of a season-opening slump. Since being dropped in the order, Kwan has gone 10-for-38 with a double, 11 walks, two RBI and nine runs scored over 13 contests.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Carroll got Arizona on the board with his third-inning blast. The outfielder has an extra-base hit in each of the last three games, going 4-for-13 in that span. For the season, he's hitting .289 with a .925 OPS, eight homers, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored, 14 doubles, eight triples and seven stolen bases over 57 contests.

Benge went 2-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.

Benge accounted for two of the Mets' five hits and all of their run production in this loss. His power was largely absent for most of May, but he has homered three times over his last three games. The outfielder has gone 8-for-23 (.348) over his last six contests and is now batting .254 with a .705 OPS, six homers, 24 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles and nine stolen bases through 58 games this season.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Mets.

Rodriguez had gone 0-for-9 over the previous two games, his first set of consecutive hitless contests since May 14-15. He has homered four times over his last six games, driving in eight runs in that span. For the season, the outfielder is batting .259 with a .779 OPS, 13 homers, 32 RBI, 33 runs scored, 13 doubles and five stolen bases over 62 contests.

Greene went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-0 win over the Rays.

Greene has now gone deep on consecutive days to begin June, and he's up to six home runs this season across 62 games to go along with a strong .859 OPS. He has a lot of work to do if he wants to match his regular-season total of 36 homers from last year, but the 25-year-old is off to a great start this month, and he should remain locked into fantasy lineups as Detroit's primary offensive catalyst.
