Robbie Grossman - Extends hit streak Grossman went 1-for-5 in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Angels.
Impact Grossman's first-inning single extended his hit streak to 13 games, during which he's 16-for-47 (.340) with two home runs, two doubles, nine RBI and 14 runs scored. He was hitting a meager .135 over the first two weeks of the season and losing at-bats, but Grossman has turned it around nicely and is getting regular playing time again. He's started seven of the last eight games.

Jonah Heim - Registers first steal Heim went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
Impact Heim has gone 10-for-24 (.417) at the plate over his last six contests, adding two home runs, five RBI and six runs scored in that span. While he didn't generate any scoring Friday, he was able to record his first steal of the campaign. The catcher is slashing .300/.373/.578 with six homers, 23 RBI, 18 runs scored and seven doubles through 102 plate appearances.

Will Smith - Falters Friday Smith (0-2) took the extra-inning loss and a blown save Friday versus the Angels. He gave up four runs (three earned) on four hits and a walk over 1.1 innings.
Impact Smith was responsible for all of the Angels' three runs in the ninth inning in his first appearance since being named the full-time closer. Despite that poor showing, he stayed in to face Shohei Ohtani after intentionally walking Mike Trout. Ohtani delivered a fielder's choice, and Josh Sborz reliever Smith, allowing the winning run to score on a wild pitch. While the loss was not fully Smith's fault, it was by far his worst outing of the season. He now has a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB through 12 innings. He's added four saves and four holds in 12 appearances.

Dane Dunning - Tosses five scoreless innings Dunning allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three over five scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Friday.
Impact Dunning filled in admirably in place of Jacob deGrom (elbow). While he's worked as a long reliever for much of the season, Dunning was able to scratch out five frames on 72 pitches (47 strikes), which suggests he could get stretched out enough to stay in the rotation for the duration of deGrom's absence. Through 25.1 innings over nine appearances, Dunning has a 1.42 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB, though his ratios will likely suffer a bit while he's working as a starter. He's tentatively projected for a road start in Seattle next week.
