Nationals option Zak Kent to Triple-A

Bohm is batting .273 with 10 homers and 31 RBI in his last 49 games. He’s still not guaranteed to be especially valuable going forward, but with the Phillies committed to hitting him in the middle of the order, he has a legitimate shot at 100 RBI in his final year before free agency.

That Luzardo’s bad outings have been particularly bad denied him an All-Star gig, but he’s 7-4 with a 3.75 ERA after tonight, and the Phillies are 12-6 in his starts. He walked none in this one and has a 125/33 K/BB through 103 1/3 innings. He’ll likely make his next start Thursday in Philadelphia.

Wacha as an All-Star makes a lot of sense if maybe he’s Kansas City’s only representative, but Bobby Witt Jr. is the team’s starting shortstop. Wacha is going to his second All-Star Game anyway, though there seemed to be better picks available. He’s 5-6 with a 3.45 ERA ahead of his final start of the first half against the Mets.

Freeman also singled and a walke for a three-reach day. He gave the Dodgers all the offense they’d need with Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Los Angeles bullpen breezing through the San Diego lineup when he connected on his 15th homer of the campaign. He also singled in a run, and he’s up to 49 RBI while improving his line to .297/.387/.508. Regression comes for everyone at some point. It doesn’t appear to be coming for Freeman anytime soon.

Klein had some shaky outings in June as seen in a 4.32 ERA over the month, but for the most part, he’s been one of the more effective relief hurlers on the Dodgers. It’s the second save of the season for the 26-year-old, and while it’s far from a guarantee he’ll see more, he’s looked the part when given the opportunity. He also has already picked up 11 holds, so his appeal in leagues that value that statistics is obvious.

Canning worked behind Wandy Peralta — who fired a scoreless inning before exiting — and while Canning does take the loss, it appeared to work. The right-hander was able to strike out four against two walks, and he was able to generate a respectable nine swings and misses over 73 pitches. Canning still has an unsightly 6.71 ERA, but he’ll get a chance to lower that Thursday in a scheduled appearance against the Diamondbacks. It seems awfully likely that one will be working behind an opener, too.

Yamamoto was brilliant, allowing just three hits and two walks to go with the aforementioned punchouts. He generated 16 swings and misses over exactly 100 pitches, and six of those came on a splitter that the Padres simply couldn’t handle. That’s now 13 quality starts for Yamamoto over 16 chances, and his ERA is now an outstanding 2.49 over that timeframe. He was named an All-Star prior to Saturday’s victory, but his final start before that game comes Saturday against the Diamondbacks in Arizona.

Mack continues to show glimpses of his power since being promoted to the majors, and that’s his seventh homer of the campaign since being promoted near the beginning of May. He’s also done a solid job behind the plate, and the 23-year-old has given no reason to believe he won’t be the long-term answer behind the plate for the Marlins, with all due respect to Agustin Ramirez.

Stowers was unable to finish Friday’s game because of a tight quad, but he was able to get the start Saturday, and he contributed his 11th homer of the season in the process. He also singled and walked, and the 28-year-old has put together a solid — if unspectacular — campaign as seen in a slash of .247/.335/.470.

In addition to the two-run jack, Lopez also added an RBI double. He’s been remarkable in 2026, and those three knocks now give him a .341 average with a .506 slugging percentage that shows there’s been plenty of hard contact between the dinks and dunks for the 27-year-old. It’s more than fair to wonder when the regression is coming, but Lopez just keeps hitting, and he’s passing the eye test in the process. He’s more than deserving of the first All-Star selection he procured prior to Saturday’s win.
