Walker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in a 10-5 loss to Arizona on Sunday.

Walker broke out of an early skid with walks in the fourth and eighth innings sandwiching a homer in the sixth. The 31-year-old should see steady run in the middle of Arizona's weak lineup and is a fringe fantasy asset if he can approach his 2019 numbers.

Voit went 1-for-2 with two runs and three walks in a 10-5 triumph over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Voit walked in the second, fifth and sixth innings, scoring on two occasions, and singled in the ninth. The former Yankee leads the majors with seven walks -- two more than anyone else -- and sports an impressive .529 OBP in the early going.

Cooper was removed from Sunday's game against the Giants in the top of the fourth inning due to a left wrist contusion, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper exited Sunday's matchup after being hit by a pitch, but he underwent X-rays after the game that came back negative. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-2 with an RBI. Since initial test results have been encouraging, he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's game against the Angels.

Olson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's loss to the Reds.

Olson touched up rookie flamethrower Hunter Greene for his first home run with Atlanta. The first baseman doesn't seem fazed by the outside pressures that come with a new $168 million contract extension. He is batting .571 with a 1.576 OPS through four games as Atlanta's two-hole hitter.

France went 3-for-5 with a run-scoring single and an RBI double in a win over the Twins on Saturday.

France continued his season-opening hot streak at the plate with some clutch hitting, evening the score at 1-1 in the third with his two-bagger to deep left center. He struck again in the ninth with a tie-breaking single that plated Adam Frazier with what would prove to be the game-winning run. France heads into Sunday having gone 4-for-7 with two walks over the first two games of the series.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Toronto.

The 34-year-old started in right field Friday and Saturday but is on the bench for the series finale with southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu pitching for the Blue Jays. Calhoun had a .334 OPS in 43 plate appearances versus left-handed pitching in 2021 and is unlikely to have many of those opportunities again this year. Eli White will enter the lineup in center field for Calhoun, pushing Adolis Garcia to right.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Saturday in the White Sox's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Abreu's two hits tied Luis Robert and Josh Harrison for the team lead, as the White Sox exacted revenge on the Tigers on Saturday after dropping Friday's series opener. The veteran first baseman is once again locked in as the centerpiece of a loaded White Sox lineup that should take off as the weather begins to warm in the Midwest. Abreu will start again in Sunday's series finale, manning first base and batting third, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Lowe is 4-for-9 with three RBI through the first two games of the season but is one of four Texas left-handed hitters taking a seat in the series finale with southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu pitching for Toronto. Andy Ibanez will move to first base Sunday while Charlie Culberson mans the hot corner.

Alonso went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.

He also struck out three times, but Alonso's fifth-inning slam was the decisive blow in the game. It was the slugger's first homer of the season and the first bases-loaded blast of his career. Through three games to begin the year, Alonso's slashing .286/.333/.571.

Hoskins went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in a 4-2 victory over the Athletics on Saturday.

The Phillies were clinging to a 2-0 lead Saturday when Hoskins led off the sixth inning with a solo shot to left field. The long ball was his first of the campaign and accounted for his third RBI in two games. Hoskins is 4-for-6 with a pair of walks so far in 2022.
