Schanuel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run against Houston in a loss Sunday.

Schanuel entered the weekend with no long balls through 13 games, but he now was two homers after going deep Saturday and Sunday. The first baseman also has a six-game hitting streak going, during which he's slashing .364/.440/.727 with a 3:3 BB:K. The hot streak has boosted Schanuel's OPS to .856 on the season; he posted a .705 OPS in his first full MLB campaign last year.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.

Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong, who went deep twice, provided most of the offense for Chicago. For Busch, it was his second long ball in as many days against his former team. The 27-year-old is off to a nice start in 2025, as he's slashing .315/.393/.593 through 17 contests. Busch will still continue to sit most games against southpaws, but he's a legitimate offensive threat against righties.

Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins.

While Detroit couldn't muster much offense as a team, Torkelson still managed to continue his hot stretch. The 25-year-old went deep for the second straight game against Minnesota, and he has four home runs in his last eight contests overall. Torkelson appears to be putting a down 2024 behind him and could be poised for some big power numbers in 2025.

Casas batted sixth and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora trotted out a reconfigured batting order Sunday, dropping Casas, who had batted cleanup behind Alex Bregman in all 12 of his starts, to sixth. The hot-hitting Wilyer Abreu was promoted to cleanup. "Willy is swinging the bat well," Cora told Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. "Triston put some good swings two nights ago but I felt like today was a good day to have this configuration." Casas entered Sunday's contest batting .176 (9-for-51) with a .530 OPS.

Contreras went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Contreras opened up the scoring in the fourth with a two-run blast to left for his first home run of the year. He also matched his extra-base hit season total with two Sunday. Contreras is off to a very slow start with his bat but now has four hits and three RBI in his last two games. For the year, he's hitting .158/.213/.263 with six RBI, six runs and a 2:22 BB:K in 62 plate appearances.

Naylor went 2-for-5 with a steal, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Brewers.

The Diamondbacks' slugger stole second base off reliever Grant Anderson in the seventh inning. Naylor has never been known for his speed, but thanks to a torrid start, he seems like a lock to overtake his previous career high of 10 steals with the Guardians in 2023. The 27-year-old has been enjoying his new home in Arizona, opening with a .322/.397/.475 slash line across 68 plate appearances.

Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Mountcastle launched a solo homer in the second inning and later came around to score again in the sixth. The 28-year-old entered Sunday with just two extra-base hits on the season, so it was encouraging to see him go deep for the first time. On the year, he's slashing .271/.300/.375 with one home run, four RBI and eight runs scored across 50 plate appearances.

Freeman is receiving a planned day off Sunday against the Cubs, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Freeman will get a breather as the Dodgers wrap up their series with Chicago. Manager Dave Roberts explained that the team didn't want the first baseman playing the entire six-game homestand without any rest, resulting in Freeman's absence from Sunday's lineup. Freeman will likely be back in action Monday for the team's series opener versus the Rockies at home.

Mervis went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 11-4 win over the Nationals.

Pinch hitting for Jonah Bride in the seventh inning, Mervis took the second pitch he saw from Jorge Lopez deep to center field for a 411-foot, three-run home run. Mervis has smacked a home run in three consecutive outings and has gone 9-for-27 with five runs scored, five home runs and 11 RBI since the beginning of April.

Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Freeman returned from the 10-day injured list Friday, and in his first two games back in action, he went 1-for-6 with one run scored and three strikeouts. The Dodgers haven't indicated that Freeman is dealing with any setbacks with his surgically repaired right ankle, so his absence from the lineup Sunday is presumably a rest day. Enrique Hernandez will step in for Freeman at first base and will bat eighth.
