Meckler reached on an error in the first inning and scored on a groundout. He then drove in two runs on a double in the second before scoring again. After drawing a walk in the fourth, he reached for a fourth time on his third walk in the eighth and scored a third run. The 26-year-old outfielder has been outstanding as the strong side of a platoon in left field, hitting .340/.417/.547 with two homers, 10 runs scored, and 12 RBI across 60 plate appearances.

Adell drew a walk in the first inning, then doubled to drive in two runs in part of a five-run second inning for the Angels. He later singled and scored again in the eighth. The 27-year-old outfielder is slashing .243/.287/.392 with 10 homers, 29 runs scored, and 39 RBI across 282 plate appearances.

Ureña held the Astros scoreless over five innings on Tuesday, but was working around traffic throughout. He tossed just one clean inning as he stranded multiple baserunners in every other frame, scattering three hits and five walks. Seven strikeouts helped him keep the Astros from bringing runners home. The 22-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 2.44 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and a 55/33 K/BB ratio across 55 1/3 innings into a start against the Diamondbacks in Arizona on Monday.

It was a forgettable start for Teng, starting with a pair of runs in the first inning on a bases-loaded hit batter and a groundout. The Angels would get to him for five more runs in the second inning, including a pair of two-run doubles by Wade Meckler and Jo Adell. Teng would hang on for two more scoreless frames, ending his day after four innings with five strikeouts. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 3.71 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and a 49/24 K/BB ratio across 51 innings into a start against the Tigers in Houston next Tuesday.

Busch crushed a 424-foot shot off Tomoyuki Sugano in the sixth inning, but it came with the Cubs trailing 7-1. He’s now homered seven times in 2026, while the solo roundtripper gives him 37 RBI in 67 games. It’s the first homer of the month of June for Busch, but he has picked up hits in six of his seven contests in the month. Overall the production has been disappointing, but there’s reason for optimism over the final 90-plus games of the campaign.

Rivera, who had recorded hits in seven consecutive plate appearances after going 5-for-5 during Sunday’s win over the Dodgers, was lifted during the middle of a fifth-inning at-bat. He was 2-for-2 prior to exiting the contest. There should be an update on his status shortly.

Julien doubled in a run in the second, and then picked up a two-run single in the third. He’s swung the bat well in his limited time in June, but the overall production — .222/.323/.306, two homers, four stolen bases in seven chances — leaves an awful lot to be desired.

Goodman gave the Rockies a 2-0 lead with a shot to right-center off Colin Rea in the first inning. The 26-year-old also drew a pair of walks, and the three-reach game gives him a slash of .243/.319/.526 with 18 homers and 33 runs driven in. The lack of RBI is a smidgen frustrating, but not really in his control. Goodman has established himself as one of the best fantasy catchers in the sport.

Sugano wasn’t great, but didn’t have to be with Colorado providing a touchdown worth of offense behind him. The 36-year-old held the Chicago offense to just one run over five innings, but a pair of runs charged to him without recording an out turned an excellent outing into a mediocre one. One that comes with his sixth win of the season, however. Sugano could be a deadline target for a team looking for innings at the bottom of their rotation, but for now, he’s scheduled to face the Athletics on Sunday.

Rea allowed nine hits — two of those homers — and he walked three against two strikeouts. The right-hander gave up two in the first, three in the second, and two more in the third in an outing that saw the 35-year-old’s ERA bump up to 5.19 in the process. Matthew Boyd will be back soon from his knee injury, but for now, Rea is scheduled to start against the Giants on Sunday.
