Zach Thompson - Unlucky loss Sunday Thompson (1-2) allowed an unearned run on three walks and struck out seven in four innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Cubs.
Impact Thompson wasn't bad Sunday, but Miami's offense went quiet. In the third inning, Jason Heyward got aboard with a walk, reached third on an error and scored on a passed ball, which was enough to stick the right-hander with his second loss. Thompson has pitched well in 12 innings across his first three starts, allowing just three runs (two earned), eight hits and four walks. He's also struck out 14. The 27-year-old lines up to face Washington next weekend if he gets another turn in the rotation.

Jesús Sánchez - Hits first big-league homer Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and run-scoring single during Saturday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.
Impact Sanchez can thank some suspect Cubs' defense for his first big-league RBI, as his fifth-inning popup wound up falling on the infield grass and was later ruled a run-scoring single. His next RBI was well-earned, as he took a Rex Brothers' fastball the opposite way for his first major-league homer in the seventh inning. Sanchez has started three games since receiving the call to the big leagues Tuesday, recording two hits in 13 at-bats while striking out six times.

Lewin Díaz - Homers in Saturday blowout Diaz stroked a two-run homer in his lone at-bat during Saturday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.
Impact Diaz pinch hit for Jesus Aguilar in the eighth-inning and didn't take long to make his mark on the box score, taking Tommy Nance deep to extend Miami's lead to 11-0. Diaz has been used primarily as a bench bat during his two stints with the big club this season, with his two hits across 14 at-bats both coming in the form of long balls.

Starling Marte - Pair of steals Saturday Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored during Saturday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.
Impact Marte stole second base in the first and third innings, marking his first game this season with multiple swiped bags. The outfielder has faired well since returning from a rib injury May 28, tallying 22 hits (eight XBH) to go along with seven stolen bases across 67 at-bats.
JUNE 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Swipes 10th bag Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a walk, stolen base and two runs scored during Saturday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.
Impact Chisholm entered Saturday with just two hits in his last 24 at-bats. He was able to break out of the slump during the offensive onslaught while also stealing his first base since May 25. Chisholm has been a dynamic force atop Miami's lineup this season, slashing .264/.333/.449 with eight homers, 24 RBI and 10 swiped bags.

Adam Duvall - Blasts two more homers Duvall went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run homers, a stolen base and three total runs scored during Saturday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.
Impact Duvall belted two homers in Friday's series opener, and he succeeded in following up that performance Saturday. The outfielder added two more long balls -- both two-run shots off Jake Arrieta -- to bring his total to 16 on the campaign, while also swiping his fifth bag. While Duvall currently holds a subpar .220/.268/.477 slash line through 235 plate appearances this season, he's certainly a player that has the ability to go on a multi-week power surge, as displayed by his first two games at Wrigley Field this weekend.
JUNE 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Pablo López - Dazzles in win over Cubs Lopez (3-4) picked up the win Saturday against the Cubs, allowing just one hit while striking out seven in seven scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.
Impact Lopez was coming off arguably his worst outing of the campaign, in which he allowed four runs to the Braves in just three innings. He bounced back in a big way at Wrigley Field on Saturday, with a second-inning single by Eric Sogard the only thing preventing him from having a no-hit bid late in the contest. Lopez has now worked at least six frames in eight of his 15 outings and he'll bring a tidy 2.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 85:21 K:BB into his start against the Nationals next weekend.
