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

His fourth-inning blast off Patrick Sandoval proved to be the winning run in a 4-1 victory. Davis has started 10 of the last 12 games, primarily as the Mets' DH, and while he's slashed .341/.391/.463 over that stretch, Sunday's long ball was only his second of the season in 136 plate appearances.

Devers went 1-for-3 with two-run home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.

Devers got a chance when reliever Paul Sewald plunked Rob Refsnyder with two outs in the top of the eighth inning. Devers reached out for the reliever's pitch, several inches out of the strike zone, and went the other way for his second home run in as many games. It's been all peaks and no valleys for Devers in 2022; the third baseman ranks seventh in OPS (.978), third in average (.335) and leads the universe in hits (83).

Arenado went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Reds.

Arenado has hit safely in each of four games since sitting out once to manage knee soreness. He's 6-for-15 (.400) with a homer, a double and three runs scored in that short hot streak. The third baseman displayed prolific power early in the season, but he's picked up only four long balls in his last 26 contests. For the season, Arenado has a .281/.352/.498 slash line, 11 homers, 41 RBI, 28 runs scored and 14 doubles through 58 games, and he's been caught in both of his stolen-base attempts.

Toro went 2-for-5 with a game-tying RBI single and RBI double in a win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

Toro was the epitome of a clutch performer Saturday, first knotting the game at five with a two-bagger to deep left that plated J.P. Crawford on the seventh inning. He then followed it up with an RBI single in the ninth inning that erased the 6-5 edge the Red Sox had gained in the visitors' half of the frame via a Bobby Dalbec solo home run. Toro is 5-for-14 over his last three games, offering some reason for optimism he can eventually give a serious boost to his still-abysmal .180/.230/.348 slash line.

Longoria (hamstring) remains on the bench Sunday against the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria left Friday's game with left hamstring tightness and didn't appear in Saturday's contest. Exactly how much more time he'll have to miss is unclear. Wilmer Flores will get the start at the hot corner Sunday.

Muncy will sit Sunday against the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Muncy started three games in a row after returning from a bout of elbow inflammation Thursday, but he'll get the day off here against tough lefty Carlos Rodon. Hanser Alberto starts at second base, Justin Turner at third and Will Smith at designated hitter, the three spots Muncy has split time between this season.

Candelario (shoulder) won't play on the homestand that runs through June 19 and will require a rehab assignment before being activated, Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press reports.

This is useful information, as those in weekly leagues can plan to be without Candelario for another full week. Perhaps the rehab assignment will help Candelario get dialed in at the plate, as he had a .120/.185/.280 slash line over his most recent 50 at-bats.

Moncada is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers.

Moncada will sit for the third time in the last seven games. Jake Burger, who is starting at third base, has simply been more productive than Moncada this season, so while Burger will get most of his starts at designated hitter, he will also keep cutting into Moncada's playing time. Moncada is hitting .133 with three extra-base hits and zero steals in 90 at-bats.

Madrigal (groin) will sit Sunday against the Yankees.

Madrigal left Friday's series opener with groin tightness and did not appear in Saturday's contest. He's considered day-to-day, per Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune. Jonathan Villar will handle second base Sunday.

Donaldson is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cubs.

Donaldson is hitting .219 with zero home runs and one steal in 32 at-bats this month. DJ LeMahieu will start at third base.
