Rodriguez, Bichette Highlight Recent MLB Performances

Seattle Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez was hit on the hand by a 95 mph pitch during a game against the Washington Nationals but stayed in the game, although the Mariners eventually lost 9-3 after a late collapse. Rodriguez remains a key contributor offensively, having hit his 10th home run of the season, ranking him among the franchise's early-career leaders. Bo Bichette delivered a pinch-hit two-run homer in the ninth inning to help the Blue Jays to victory, while Heliot Ramos hit his 10th home run in May for the Giants. Pirates catcher Henry Davis and Athletics infielder Jacob Wilson also added home runs for their teams. Phillies players Bryson Stott and Bryce Harper contributed to a late lead against the Cardinals. Young prospects and established contributors across MLB continue to impact their teams as the season progresses.
