Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

It's his third homer in the last five games and 12th of the year, as Freeman remains locked in at the plate. The first baseman has hit safely in 21 of his last 22 contests, racking up a .378/.429/.589 slash line over that stretch.

Cron went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday.

Cron launched a 363-foot shot to right in the fourth off James Paxton to snap a 1-1 tie. The round tripper was the second in as many games for Cron, who now counts three homers among his five hits thus far in June. The blast also leaves the slugger just one short of equaling a career high, and he's only one of six players over the last decade -- Giancarlo Stanton, Jose Abreu and Yoenis Cespedes among them -- to hit at least 15 home runs in each of his first four major-league seasons.

Smith will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Smith is set to join the major-league squad after hitting .262 with two homers and 25 RBI at Triple-A through 55 games this season. He figures to see playing time at first base after the Mets released Adrian Gonzalez on Sunday.

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.

Abreu went 1-for-3 with a double, two runs scored, one RBI and two walks Sunday against Boston.

Abreu smacked an RBI double to put the White Sox on the board in the first inning and later scored in the third on a bases-loaded walk. He's reached base safely in his last 11 games, recording a home run and seven RBI over that span.

Gurriel went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI on Sunday against the Rangers.

Gurriel pulled a flyball over the left-field wall in the seventh inning for his second home run of the season. The performance also marked his first four-hit game of the season. His .303 batting average is the most attractive part of his profile, as he is slugging just .410 through 195 at-bats this season.

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.
