Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Rockies.

Goldschmidt capped off a productive series at Coors Field with another full box score. In total, he recorded four home runs, nine RBI and eight runs in the three-game set. While he won't play every series with benefit of the best hitter's park in baseball, he is slugging .896 across the last 15 days.

Cabrera exited Sunday's game with left hamstring tightness, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

The severity of Cabrera's injury remains unknown, but this is relatively good news for the Mets, as he didn't suffer a hamstring strain or tear. With a scheduled off day Monday, Cabrera will have nearly two full days to rest before Tuesday's matchup against the Braves. More information on his status should be revealed after further evaluation.

Cabrera was lifted from Sunday's tilt against the Yankees due to injury, David Lennon of Newsday reports

Cabrera appeared to have suffered a hamstring injury while at the plate, per Lennon. He went out to play second base immediately after the injury, but he was ultimately removed later in the game. More news on his status should be released following the conclusion of Sunday's series finale.

Flores (back) has resumed participating in all baseball activities and flew to the Mets' extended spring training facility in Florida to continue his rehab, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

Flores has been on the shelf since May 28 with lower-back soreness, although the Mets are confident they won't be without the 26-year-old third baseman for too much longer. They expect Flores to be activated from the disabled list sometime during their upcoming road trip, which runs from June 12 and June 21. It remains to be seen if he'll require a minor-league rehab assignment, but it likely wouldn't be for more than a game or two if he does report to an affiliate.

Walker was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.

Walker will be utilized as a bench bat with the Diamondbacks for the time being as catcher Jeff Mathis is away from the team on paternity leave. Walker has collected two hits in his 16 at-bats with the big-league club this season. His stay in the majors could be short-lived.

Freeman went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base Saturday against the Dodgers.

Freeman reached base three times without an extra-base hit but did manage to steal his sixth base of the season. That moved him into a tie with Ian Desmond for the lead in stolen bases among first basemen for the season. That's an added bonus to the rest of Freeman's stellar contributions this season, as he is now hitting .341/.433/.561 across 246 at-bats this season.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored Saturday against the Rockies.

Goldschmidt got hold of a solo home run in the first inning and followed that up with a three-run home run in the fourth inning, both coming off Chad Bettis. The home runs marked his 11th and 12th of the season, half of which have come in his past 10 games. While his four home runs in two games against the Rockies were aided by Coors Field, Goldschmidt continues to provide optimism that he's breaking out of his season-long slump as he entered Saturday's game hitting .388/.444/.796 across the last 15 days.

Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Yankees.

Cabrera capped off a big first inning for the Mets by taking Domingo German deep, recording his 11th home run of the season. While his batting average has taken a hit of late, Cabrera has kept up a surprising power profile as he is now slugging .502 in 235 at-bats this season. If he were able to maintain that, it would be the highest mark of his career by nearly 30 points.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 12-3 loss to the Brewers.

Hoskins made a triumphant return from the disabled list with a three-run shot in the third inning to give the Phillies a 3-2 lead. The lead didn't last as the rest of Philadelphia's offense managed only four hits and the bullpen collapsed behind starter Jake Arrieta, but Hoskins' immediate impact was nonetheless a welcome sight.

Flores (back) is nearing a return from the 10-day disabled list, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

Flores landed on the disabled list May 28 with lower-back soreness and has resumed all baseball activities. It remains unclear whether the 26-year-old will require a short minor-league rehab stint.
