  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Drives in five runs

    Goodman went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a triple, a double, five RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

    Goodman got his day started with a three-run blast in the opening frame. He followed that up with a two-run triple in the third and a double in the seventh, leaving him only a single shy of hitting for the cycle. Since April 25, Goodman is hitting .349/.373/.556 with two homers, 13 RBI and 11 runs scored. He's maintained an aggressive approach at the plate, as it's been 63 plate appearances since his last walk, but he's been one of the few bright spots for this dismal Rockies team and has produced solid numbers both in Denver (.827 OPS) and on the road (.846 OPS) this year.

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Goes deep in win

    Diaz went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the Reds.

    Diaz got the scoring started with his three-run shot in the third inning. It was his fourth home run of the year and first since May 2. Sunday was Diaz's 34th appearance of the season, and it's been a tale of two halves to begin his 2025 campaign. After posting an ugly .404 OPS through the first 17 games, he's gone 22-for-67 (.328) with three homers and 14 RBI over his last 17 contests. Diaz's OPS now sits at .652 through 135 plate appearances.

  • Luis Torrens DH | NYM

    Mets' Luis Torrens: Suffers groin injury

    Torrens exited Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cubs in the sixth inning after being struck in the groin area by a foul ball, John Sparaco of SI.com reports.

    Torrens went 1-for-2 with a triple and an RBI before suffering the injury on an errant foul tip while he was behind the plate in the top of the sixth inning. Francisco Alvarez came off the bench to replace Torrens, who can be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Pirates.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Exits early Sunday

    Kirk (head) exited Sunday's contest against the Mariners in the top of the fifth inning, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Kirk suffered a blow to the helmet on a backswing from Julio Rodriguez in bottom of the third inning. The catcher remained in the contest for another full inning before exiting, likely due to precautionary reasons. Tyler Heineman replaced him behind the plate versus Seattle.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Receiving breather Sunday

    Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Moreno started the first three games of the series and will get a breather Sunday after going 4-for-13 with a grand slam and a stolen base. Jose Herrera will take over behind the plate and form a battery with starting pitcher Zac Gallen in the series finale.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Receiving Sunday off

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

    It's likely just a standard rest day for Stephenson, who started nine straight games after being reinstated from the injured list May 2. The 28-year-old has enjoyed a good start to the campaign with three doubles, a homer and a .794 OPS through 36 plate appearances. Jose Trevino will step in to catch righty Chase Petty on Sunday.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Falling into timeshare arrangement

    Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    After going 3-for-4 with a home run and a walk in Saturday's 10-1 win, Carlos Narvaez will be rewarded with another start behind the dish. The Red Sox have turned their catching situation into a timeshare with Wong stumbling to a .396 OPS over his first 42 plate appearances this season. Narvaez, meanwhile, owns a .730 OPS across 102 plate appearances.
