Woo (8-5) took the loss Sunday against Houston, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk across six innings. He struck out six.

Woo's streak of excellent play came to a crashing halt Sunday, having tallied a 1.11 ERA across his last five starts before tying his season high in runs allowed. He yielded three extra-base hits in the loss, including home runs to Taylor Trammell and Christian Walker. Despite the hiccup, Woo owns a 2.91 ERA and a 115:22 K:BB across 120.2 innings pitched. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Angels next time out.

Crochet (11-4) picked up the win Sunday against the Cubs, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five.

Crochet hasn't lost since May, having racked up seven wins in his last nine starts -- including four consecutive victories. While Sunday's start was excellent, he did snap a streak of nine consecutive outings with at least seven strikeouts. In 135.1 innings this season, Crochet owns a 2.19 ERA and 165:36 K:BB. He's on track to face the Dodgers his next time out.

Abreu went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Sunday's 6-1 win over the Cubs.

All six of Boston's runs came in the seventh and eighth innings. Abreu led the charge, going yard in both frames. Sunday's performance marked Abreu's fourth multi-homer game of 2025 and brought his homer total to 20 in 310 plate appearances. The 25-year-old had one hit in his last 12 at-bats before the game. In 33 at-bats before that, Abreu hit .303 with five homers.

Yoshida started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Cubs.

Yoshida made his first start in the field after a series of appearances as the designated hitter or as a pinch hitter. He was eventually pinch hit for against lefty Drew Pomeranz. Yoshida has gone 6-for-22 (.273) with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored over seven games since coming off the injured list in the week leading up to the All-Star break.

Bregman entered Sunday's game as a pinch hitter and hit a three-run home run in a 6-1 win over the Cubs.

The Red Sox are managing Bregman's return from a quadriceps injury and held him out of Sunday's starting lineup, but he had an impact off the bench. He helped the team emerge from an offensive slumber that saw the Red Sox score just one run through the first 24 innings of the series. Wilyer Abreu snapped a 21-inning scoreless skid with a two-run homer in the seventh inning, and then Bregman piled on one frame later. Bregman, who finished the game at third base, will start the first two games of the series against Philadelphia on Monday and Tuesday before getting a day off Wednesday.

McKinstry went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers. He also stole a base.

McKinstry plated the first run of the game with an RBI single in the top of the second inning. The utility player also swiped his 16th base of the season in 19 attempts. The 16 steals match a career best for McKinstry, who is nearing his career highs for home runs (nine) and RBI (35) in a season as well. The veteran has been a pleasant surprise, and his strong offensive play is keeping him in the lineup most days for Detroit.

Holton (5-3) tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts to earn the win in Sunday's 2-1 victory over the Rangers.

Holton's appearance got off to an inauspicious start, as he uncorked a wild pitch that brought home an inherited runner from third and left Tarik Skubal with a no-decision. However, Holton settled down from there and continued his strong play as of late. Over his last 10 outings, the lefty has allowed just two runs across 14.2 innings while striking out 14. As was the case each of the last two years, Holton has emerged as a valuable bullpen weapon for the Tigers.

Ward went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and four RBI in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Phillies.

Ward drove in four runs on two doubles, highlighted by a bases-clearing gapper in the Angels' five-run second inning. The 24-year-old has come out hot following the All-Star break, tallying five extra-base hits and eight RBI over the weekend. For the season, he ranks fourth in the American League with 73 RBI while slashing .231/.304/.491 with 23 home runs, 55 runs scored and two steals across 421 plate appearances.

Vierling went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

Vierling's box score doesn't jump off the page, but he provided the key hit by delivering an RBI single in the top of the eighth inning that broke a 1-1 tie. The utility man has struggled to get his bat going during an injury-riddled season, though he's now riding a modest three-game hitting streak, and his playing time has been trending upward recently as well. His versatility gives him a path to a fairly consistent spot in the lineup if he continues to produce at the plate.

Wade went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Phillies.

Wade entered the game after Nolan Schanuel (wrist) was hit by a pitch in the first inning and responded with his first three-hit performance of the season, highlighted by a 422-foot homer in the sixth. The 31-year-old bench piece is now slashing .178/.282/.269 with two home runs, 18 RBI, 18 runs scored and one steal across 229 plate appearances this season and could see an uptick in playing time if Schanuel is forced to miss time.
