Eddie Rosario - Homers in win Rosario went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over St. Louis.

Impact Rosario went back-to-back on home runs with Ozuna in the fifth inning, increasing Atlanta's lead over the Cardinals to 2-0. Rosario missed all of May and June with blurred vision and swelling in his retina, but has been on fire since his return on July 4. He has at least one hit in each of his three games since then, good for a .300 batting average. Perhaps things are starting to move in the right direction for Rosario after recovering from his eye issue. Fantasy managers should take note.

Marcell Ozuna - Solo homer in win Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Ozuna hit a solo shot in the fifth inning to put the Braves on the board. The designated hitter is having arguably his best month of the year, slashing .261/.261/.696 after picking up at least one hit in five of six games. He has just three strikeouts during that span and has taken his batting average from .223 to .229. The homer in Wednesday's game was his third of the month, after hitting four in all of June. Ozuna is up to 17 home runs on the season.

Max Fried - Lifted after six scoreless frames Fried (9-2), who picked up the win Wednesday against the Cardinals, was removed after six scoreless innings as a precautionary measure due to tightness in his right glute, David O'...

Impact The 28-year-old exited with only 82 pitches, so he likely would have lasted another inning or two without the injury. It's not believed to be a serious issue, and manager Brian Snitker expects Fried to make his next turn through the rotation, which tentatively lines up for Monday versus the Mets. He has 1.35 ERA and 25:4 K:BB in 26.2 innings across his past four outings.

Impact The 33-year-old is sitting out the fourth straight game Wednesday due to the left hand injury, but he's poised to rejoin the starting nine Thursday. Duvall struggled through the first two months of the season but came alive offensively in June with a .864 OPS, eight home runs and 15 RBI in 27 games.

Phil Gosselin - Back on bench Wednesday Gosselin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Gosselin went 3-for-7 with a run scored while starting in both of the past two games, and he appears to be encroaching on Orlando Arcia's role as Atlanta's primary second baseman in the absence of Ozzie Albies (foot). Arcia is back in the lineup Wednesday, but his stranglehold on the everyday role is loosening while he's been in the midst of a 2-for-28 slump at the plate over his past eight contests.

Matt Olson - Productive in Tuesday's win Olson went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Impact Matty Two-Bags laced his major-league leading 32nd double of the season, five more than his closest competitors in the category, Rafael Devers and Jose Ramirez. Olson has caught fire at the plate again, posting seven multi-hit performances in his last 16 games and slashing .311/.368/.639 over that stretch with four homers (and eight doubles) and 16 RBI.

JULY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ronald Acuña Jr. - Nabs 17th steal Acuna went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Impact The steal was his 17th in only 48 games this season, as Acuna continues to prove his knee is fully recovered from last year's injury. His power numbers haven't quite bounced back yet, but the 24-year-old superstar still sports a .285/.382/.446 slash line with seven homers, 19 RBI and 33 runs.

JULY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

William Contreras - Slugs homer No. 10 Contreras went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Impact Atlanta jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning thanks to long balls by Austin Riley and Contreras. The young backstop snapped a 12-game homer drought with the blast, a stretch during which he slashed just .209/.277/.256, but on the season Contreras is batting a solid .267 with 10 home runs and 21 RBI through 40 contests.

Michael Harris II - Swipes two bags Harris went 1-for-4 with a run and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 7-1 win against the Cardinals.

Impact Harris did all his damage in the third inning, when he singled, stole second and third and scored. The 21-year-old has slumped through the beginning of July -- going 2-for-16 in five games -- however, he's been noticeably more active on the basepaths with four steals in his last nine games compared to two thefts in his first 27 appearances.

Austin Riley - Knocks three hits, homer Riley went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional RBI in a 7-1 win against the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Impact Riley contributed to a five-run first with a two-run home run, singled in the third and slugged a run-scoring double in the fourth to chase St. Louis starter Andre Pallante. The 25-year-old has been scorching of late, batting 12-for-24 with three doubles and three home runs over his last six games. The long ball was Riley's 21st which ranks eighth in the league and he's on pace to surpass last season's career high of 33.
