Marte went 1-for-3 with a triple, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's victory over the Mets.

Marte extended his team's lead in the sixth inning with a two-RBI triple, his second three-bagger of the season. He has now recorded extra-base hits in consecutive games after doubling in Saturday's win, though it has still been a lackluster start to 2026 for the star second baseman. Through 37 games, the 32-year-old is hitting .212/.268/.370 with five homers, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored.

Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

After going 3-for-8 with a home run, two doubles and three RBI while starting the past three games, Massey will hit the bench for the series finale. Nick Loftin will replace Massey at second base and will bat sixth.

Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

With southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the bump for Philadelphia, the Rockies will stock up on some extra right-handed bats while Julien joins fellow left-handed hitters TJ Rumfield, Troy Johnston and Brett Sullivan on the bench. Tyler Freeman will receive the nod at second base in place of Julien.

Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Norby will rest Sunday following a stretch of five consecutive starts in which he went 3-for-14 with one double, three walks, two stolen bases, four runs and one RBI. Though he's seen all but one of his 35 starts at either first base or designated hitter, Norby could end up receiving more run at third base after Miami demoted Graham Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Marte returned to the lineup Saturday after sitting out one game due to an illness. His eighth-inning double snapped an 0-for-11 slide, but the second baseman continues to fight a recent slump, having gone 3-for-30 (.100) over the last eight games.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, a walk, four RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Giants.

Lowe contributed to a six-run rally for the Pirates in the seventh inning with a two-RBI triple, and he followed that up with a run-scoring double two frames later. He has multiple hits in each of his last three starts and has six RBI, five runs scored and one home run in that span. Lowe remains a key bat in the Pirates' lineup, hitting .269 with 27 RBI and 24 runs scored across 34 games to begin the season.

Gonzales went 4-for-6 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 13-3 win over the Giants.

Gonzales' bat had been cooling off earlier in the week, as he entered Saturday on an 0-for-11 skid. He bounced back with his first four-hit game of the season, which was his third multi-hit effort of May. The infielder has made consistent contact eary this year, batting .323 with a .758 OPS, 17 RBI, 16 runs scored, three stolen bases and six doubles across 36 contests. He has yet to hit a home run, though he's never been a major power threat with no more than seven long balls in a big-league season. Gonzales has earned a near full-time role this season, playing at third base against right-handed pitchers and at second against southpaws.

Vargas went 2-for-3 with two home runs, a walk, three RBI and a strikeout in Saturday's win over the Mariners.

Vargas went yard in the third inning off Luis Castillo, and he repeated the dose in the fifth frame against reliever Josh Simpson. This was Vargas' first multi-homer performance of the season, and he is now up to nine long balls while racking up an .840 OPS with 21 RBI, 28 runs and six steals across 38 games.

Massey went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 5-1 victory versus the Tigers.

Massey's three-run shot in the fourth frame gave the Royals a 5-0 lead. It was the infielder's second long ball over his past four games after he went deep just once across his first 23 contests of the campaign. Massey isn't a big power guy, but he did hit a combined 29 home runs over the 2023 and 2024 regular seasons, so he may have more pop in his bat than the three long balls he tallied across 277 plate appearances last year.

Norby went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Nationals.

Norby was a spark plug Saturday, notching his second two-steal effort of the campaign and scoring both times he reached base. For the season, the 25-year-old is slashing .233/.343/.379 with three homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and four steals across 137 plate appearances while primarily splitting time between first base and designated hitter.
