Fraley will hit the injured list and be replaced on the active roster — and in the lineup — by Austin Hays, with Hays activated off the injured list from his foot injury. There should be an update on how much time Fraley is going to miss in the coming days.

De La Cruz’ stolen base was No. 22 on the season. While that’s well behind his stolen base pace last year when he stole 67 bases, De La Cruz has improved as a hitter this season. The 23-year-old superstar shortstop is hitting .279 with an .863 OPS in 82 games this year compared to .255 with an .809 OPS last year.

Steer entered play Friday with six home runs on the year. By the fifth inning, the 27-year-old infielder had nine home runs. Steer hit two solo shots off Dylan Cease and a two-run home run off reliever Yuki Matsui in the fifth inning. Steer still has just a .704 OPS on the year, but with the Reds moving on from Jeimer Candelario earlier this week, he seems entrenched as the first baseman for the rest of the season.

Martinez entered the ninth inning with a no-hit bid before allowing a double to Elias Diaz. The 34-year-old right-hander had allowed 17 earned runs in 18 1/3 innings over his first four starts in June, but the Reds allowed him to make two relief appearances between this start and his last start on June 19. Martinez appears to have figures something out as he threw three scoreless innings in those two relief appearances and had his best start of the season against the Padres on Friday. Martinez has a 4.12 ERA and 69/21 K/BB ratio in 94 innings this year. He’s lined up to face the Red Sox on the road next week.

It was already 11-0 Phillies by the time Acuna was due for his second at-bat in the bottom of the third inning on Friday. The Braves decided to throw in the towel at that point and give the 27-year-old superstar outfielder the rest of the night off. Stuart Fairchild came off the bench and hit two doubles, which were the Braves’ only extra-base hits on the night. Acuna should be back in the lineup for Atlanta’s next game on Saturday.

The featured piece heading back to the Astros in the Kyle Tucker trade from this past offseason, Smith was sure to let his former team know what they were missing here. This was his first game against the team that drafted him and he was never retired. Instead, he broke this game open with a booming three-run home run that careened off the wall behind the left field stands in Daikin Park. While Smith got off to a slow start at the plate this season, he’s really turned a corner of late with an .832 OPS over his last 30 games. He’s proven he can hit for a high average – it’s over .300 since May 1st – just without much power to this point. If he can add that power, there could be a huge second half in store for the young right fielder.

This was a huge game for the Blue Jays’ lineup and Springer got them started on the right foot with a run-scoring single in the first inning off Brayan Bello. They chipped away at Bello and eventually broke this game open against Boston’s bullpen. Springer was part of their final rally too with another RBI single in the eighth inning when this game was already out of reach. He’s enjoyed a true renaissance this season with 11 home runs, nine stolen bases, and an .832 OPS just past the halfway point of the season.
