Bobby Witt Jr. dealing with Grade 1 MCL sprain

Singer gave up two hits, walked two and struck out seven. Singer and his counterpart Brandon Woodruff combined for 13 scoreless innings in this one. The Reds and the Brewers both failed to score in the first nine innings, with the Brewers winning 2-1 in 10 innings. Singer has now allowed only four earned runs in his last 22 innings over his last four starts. He still has a 4.81 ERA and a 4.57 xFIP. Singer is lined up to face the Pirates on the road this weekend.

Woodruff was excellent in his first start since going on the injured list with shoulder inflammation in early May. The 33-year-old right-hander allowed one hit, no walks and struck out 10 Reds batters on Monday. Woodruff threw just 79 pitches in six innings after throwing 82 pitches in his final rehab start. He’ll face the Cubs at home this weekend in his next start.

Hicks was sent for precautionary imaging that came back clean after hitting the injured list with a back strain over the weekend. The 27-year-old slugging backstop is likely to miss at least a couple weeks, but doesn’t appear to be facing an extended absence.

Duran broke a scoreless stalemate with a fourth-inning moonshot to center field off Marlins starter Tyler Phillips that traveled 407 feet. It was his sixth big fly of the season. The 27-year-old also made a phenomenal defensive play a couple frames later when he fired a relay throw to the plate to cut down speedy Xavier Edwards with the potential go-ahead run. He’s emerged as a key contributor for the Rangers this season but still doesn’t offer a ton of fantasy appeal outside of deeper mixed leagues where his multi-position eligibility is a nice bonus.

Lopez delivered his 31st multi-hit performance of the season, raising his batting average to a league-best .336 mark with the All-Star break rapidly approaching. The 27-year-old infielder probably deserves his first Midsummer Classic selection as the only player hitting above .300 with double-digit stolen bases. He hasn’t been a complete zero in the power department either with three round-trippers in 78 games. He’s vastly exceeded any realistic expectations from fantasy managers coming into the year and has been one of the most impactful early-season waiver wire additions.

Latz got the call to put out an eighth-inning fire and managed to wriggle out of a bases-loaded jam with the lead intact by coaxing a harmless ground ball from Jakob Marsee. He came back out to guard a one-run lead in the final frame and managed to retire the side in order. This one took a herculean effort as Latz needed a whopping 31 pitches to get the final four outs, which likely leaves him unavailable for Tuesday’s contest.

Rocker took over after opener Tyler Alexander fired a perfect first inning and authored one of the strongest outings of his career, needing just 76 pitches to navigate five frames. He generated an eye-popping 20 swinging strikes and finished with an other-worldly 46 percent CSW. It was a much-needed rebound performance after getting torched for seven runs over 3 1/3 innings by the Twins his last time out. He limited Miami to just five hits and got some help from his defense as a perfect relay throw from Ezequiel Duran cut down Xavier Edwards at the plate as the potential go-ahead run to end the sixth inning. He’ll get the ball against the Blue Jays in a tough road matchup on Saturday to finish off a two-start week. He’s been extremely volatile from a results standpoint, but his immense strikeout potential makes him an interesting streaming option until further notice.

Phillips gave up five hits, including a two-run homer to Ezequiel Duran in the fourth inning, which accounted for all of the damage against him. He struck out four and issued three walks. He’ll close out a two-start week with a road matchup against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium on Sunday.

Greene’s home run was his ninth of the year. He hit a solo shot off Gerritt Cole in the fifth inning. Greene is a career .268 hitter who hit .258 in 2025, but is hitting .292 this year. While his power production has decreased this year, his .385 OBP would be a career-best by over 30 points and his .830 OPS would also be a career-high.
