Rushing only gets credit for one RBI, because the second run scored on a throwing error by Tyler O’Neill. Rushing probably doesn’t care too much. It helps make up for what was an ugly game for the backstop prior to that knock, as he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in his previous three at-bats. Again, he probably doesn’t care. Rushing has been excellent for the majority of 2026 as seen in his .262/.351/.500 slash.

Carroll needed “just” a homer for the cycle, as he also singled with a walk for good measure. The 25-year-old already has nine three-baggers on the season, and a 20-triple campaign can’t be ruled out; it’s right around what he’s on pace for. The double was his 16th, and the four runs driven in bring his total to 42. He’s having a good year, is what we’re saying.

This was absolutely and unquestionably Imai’s best start as a big leaguer. His famous backwards slider was diabolical, forcing 17 swings-and-misses while working firmly as his primary pitch. He commanded it excellently both low and below the zone as well as fading away from the Guardians’ left-handed hitters. Most impressively, Imai had let up three runs before the third inning was over and it looked like this was going to turn into yet another start that went off the rails. However, he composed himself and dominated from that point on retiring the final 11 batters he faced. So far, his two-pitch approach hasn’t fared particularly well and we must remember that this Guardians’ lineup sans José Ramírez and a handful of other starts is one of the weakest in the league. Still, that slider looks like it can truly carry him when it’s on like it was tonight. He’s scheduled to face the Blue Jays in Toronto next time out.

Soto got the Mets on the board first with a 386-foot (100.5-mph EV) solo shot off of Aaron Nola in the opening inning. He then replicated the feat in the third inning — that time with a 389-foot (105.0-mph EV) blast. The 27-year-old superstar also drew a walk in the ballgame, finishing the night 2-for-4. For the season, he’s now slashing an outstanding .300/.398/.582 with 17 homers, 38 RBI and six stolen bases on the season.

The 26-year-old superstar fielded a ground ball in the fourth inning and landed awkwardly on his right knee. He was able to walk it off and remain in the game for the time being but was lifted for a pinch hitter the following half inning. He’ll head for further evaluation. Expect the Royals to provide an update on his status as soon as more information is known. All fantasy managers can do at the moment is wait and hope for the best.

Chisholm had a foul ball bounce off the ground and back into his groin area and appeared to be in a substantial amount of pain before exiting the ballgame. That’s probably going to ruin his weekend. He should be considered day-to-day.

Woo scattered just three hits on the day while allowing only one base on balls. The only real jam that he got into was in the eighth inning as he allowed a leadoff single to Leody Taveras and walked Colton Cowser before turning the ball over to the bullpen. Woo generated 12 swings and misses on 89 pitches on the afternoon — seven on his fastball — while registering a CSW of 29 percent. He’ll look to replicate this fine outing as he carries a 3.94 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and an 88/16 K/BB ratio (89 innings) into Wednesday’s battle against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

The superstar shortstop has been sidelined since late April due to a calf strain. He’ll likely remain on the rehab assignment through the weekend, then if all goes well, he could be cleared to return to the Mets’ lineup early next week. Lindor has hit just .226/.314/.355 with two homers, five RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 105 plate appearances over 24 games with the Mets this season.

He’s regarded as day-to-day, but it’s not surprising for him to miss a day game after a night game given the hamstring spasms. Miles Mastrobuoni will play left field and push Victor Robles to center as the Mariners take on RHP Shane Baz and the Orioles.

This guy is on fire. Crow-Armstrong has now homered in three consecutive games, four times in his last five, and eight times already in June. This one was funny too, sneaking just inside the right field foul pole. At the time, this gave the Cubs an 8-1 lead in a game they eventually only won 8-6. Nevertheless, Crow-Armstrong’s slow start to the season feels like a distant memory as he’s now one of the only players in the league on a 30 homer, 30 steal pace with a .276 batting average that’s nearly 30 points higher than where it wound up last season. He is a bonafide superstar.
