Josh Jung, 3B, Rangers: Jung went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs in the Rangers’ 6-4 loss to the Pirates on Monday. The home run was Jung’s 10th of the year, moving him ahead of James Outman for sole possession of the major league rookie home run lead.
Hunter Gaddis, RHP, Guardians: Gaddis pitched six scoreless innings with two hits allowed, one walk and four strikeouts to pick up his first career win and lead the Guardians to a 3-0 win over the White Sox.

He has recorded a hit in five of his last seven games and is now batting .269 on the year.
