Gonzalez went a combined 4-for-7 with an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's doubleheader sweep over St. Louis.

Gonzalez entered the matinee as a pinch hitter, singling in place of starting second baseman David Hamilton in the seventh inning, and finished out at the keystone. The utility infielder then had a big hit in Boston's two-run ninth inning against Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley, delivering a one-out double that plated the first run and put the tying run in scoring position. Boston eventually won the first game in the 10th inning. Gonzalez finished an impactful day by starting the nightcap at first base, contributing two more hits and two runs.

Harper went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

In a disastrous third inning for Tyler Glasnow, who allowed four walks and threw three wild pitches in the frame, Harper singled to drive in Rafael Marchan to get the Phillies onto the scoreboard. Harper also scored a game-tying run following a double in the seventh inning. It's been a relatively quiet start to the season for the perennial All-Star, who has just three extra-base hits, three RBI and zero stolen bases over 36 at-bats, but Harper is still hitting a healthy .278 with four walks across his first nine outings.

Arraez went 4-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Arraez reached base five times and is now eight-for-his-last 16 with a home run and a double. Arraez has not struck out in 44 plate appearances this season and is the only player in baseball, with a minimum of 15 plate appearances, yet to strike out.

Guerrero and the Blue Jays agreed Sunday on a 14-year, $500 million contract extension, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Guerrero will be a mainstay in the Toronto lineup for many years to come, inking a lucrative deal to remain with the Blue Jays through the 2039 campaign. The first baseman has produced a career .288/.363/.499 slash line with 160 home runs over six-plus seasons with the team, which has earned him the third-largest contract in MLB history. Guerrero is batting .256/.333/.333 with three doubles, four RBI and three runs scored over 45 plate appearances in 10 games this season.

Soderstrom went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.

Soderstrom gave the Athletics a quick lead with a two-run blast in the first inning for his fourth home run of the year. He's tallied multiple hits and at least one RBI in each of his last three games and is catching some early buzz as a breakout candidate for the 2025 season.

Casas is not in the starting lineup for the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Casas will take a seat after going 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in the team's 5-4 extra-inning win in Game 1 on Sunday. Romy Gonzalez will draw the start at first base and bat seventh versus St. Louis.

Torkelson went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the White Sox.

The Detroit first baseman stepped to the plate in the ninth against Jordan Leasure with the bases juiced and did not disappoint, hitting a walkoff two-run double. Torkelson has been electric to start the season, slashing .324/.439/.618 over his first 41 plate appearances with two homers and six runs and RBI apiece. However, he is also striking out at a 31.7 percent clip and sporting a .474 BABIP, so caution should be taken with the 25-year-old's outlook for the rest of 2025.

Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

With lefty Kyle Hart taking the hill for San Diego, Busch will retreat to the bench. Platoon mate Justin Turner will step in for Busch at first base.

France is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

France started Minnesota's first eight games of the season and will receive a day off after going 6-for-30 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored. Mickey Gasper will step in at first base for the series finale versus Houston.

Hoskins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Hoskins looks to be receiving a routine day off after starting in each of the Brewers' last six games. Jake Bauers will fill in for him at first base in the series finale.
