Arenado went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and solo home run in Sunday's win over the Mets.

Arenado was 0-for-9 through the first two games of the series versus New York, but he got hot Sunday, smoking his fifth and sixth homers of June. After his first multi-homer game of the season, the slugger now has 15 long balls and 48 RBI while slashing .276/.322/.493. Arenado got off to an unusually slow start in 2023, but he's back to producing like a superstar.

McMahon went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 14-6 loss to Atlanta.

McMahon opened the scoring with a two-run homer off Charlie Morton in the first inning before adding a solo shot off Kirby Yates in the seventh. The 28-year-old McMahon has hit safely in 10 straight contests while batting .365 (23-for-63) with four homers in 16 games since the start of June. After getting off to a slow start this season, McMahon's extended hot streak has boosted his slash line to .278/.358/.517 with 12 homers, 41 RBI, 41 runs scored and four stolen bases through 293 plate appearances on the campaign.

Manager Dave Martinez said after Sunday's loss to the Marlins that Candelario is dealing with a bone bruise on his right thumb, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario suffered the injury during Saturday's contest and was scratched from Sunday's lineup after initially being slated to start. Martinez indicated the club will see how the 29-year-old feels Monday before deciding the next steps.

Davis (ankle) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Davis hasn't been in San Francisco's starting nine since Tuesday due to a low-grade ankle sprain, though he came off the bench Saturday and went 2-for-3 with a grand slam and an additional RBI. The 30-year-old is apparently still a bit banged up since he's sitting Sunday, but he should be able to rejoin the lineup within the next couple days.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Hayes had a hot start to April with 17 hits, including six extra-base hits, in the first seven games of the month, but he's gone just 5-for-28 over the past seven contests.. Rodolfo Castro will take over at the hot corner for the series finale in Milwaukee.

Candelario was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Marlins due to soreness in his right thumb, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario was slated to start at third base Sunday, per usual, but he'll instead hit the bench with a thumb issue. The 29-year-old is expected to be available as a pinch hitter, so it doesn't appear to be a serious injury. Michael Chavis will shift to the hot corner while Dominic Smith, who was originally off Sunday, starts at first base.

Madrigal is starting at third base and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Madrigal sat Saturday with Miles Mastrobuoni getting the nod at the hot corner, but the former will take over Sunday. Patrick Wisdom (wrist) hit the injured list Saturday, so there is playing time available at third base, and Madrigal should be the top option there most days ahead of Mastrobuoni.

Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Anderson started the past 11 games and will head to the bench after he posted a .585 OPS and 31.8 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. Raimel Tapia will take over in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's series finale.

Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The 23-year-old is 5-for-16 over his past four games but will take a seat Sunday with lefty Matthew Liberatore pitching for St. Louis. Eduardo Escobar will man the hot corner and bat eighth.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against Atlanta.

Moustakas made only his second start in the last eight games, with Elehuris Montero instead taking over primary duties at first base. The former did manage to take Bryce Elder deep in the fifth inning for his fourth homer of the season and second in his last 15 at-bats. Even with that production, Moustakas appears destined for a bench role and could be in jeopardy of losing his roster spot once C.J. Cron (back) is able to return.
