Greene went 2-for-4 with a two-run single in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Cubs.

Greene -- who went 0-for-9 with six strikeouts over the three games prior to Sunday -- extended the Tigers' lead to four runs in the fifth inning, when his single to left field brought Gleyber Torres and Kerry Carpenter home. Greene has slashed .288/.342/.505 with one steal, nine doubles, five home runs and 23 RBI in 120 plate appearances over his last 30 games.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a two-run double in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Cubs.

Torkelson put the Tigers on the board in the first inning after smacking a two-run double off Cade Horton to center field. It was Torkelson's 11th multi-RBI game of the season, and his 15 home runs and 45 RBI (across 268 plate appearances) both rank fourth in the American League.

Flaherty (5-6) earned the win against the Cubs on Sunday, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out nine across six scoreless innings.

Flaherty retired the first nine batters he faced, and he was able to keep the Cubs off the board after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the fourth. The 29-year-old right-hander has tossed four straight quality starts and has overcome a shaky start to the 2025 season. Flaherty now boasts a 3.41 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across 71.1 innings this season, and his 85 strikeouts are fifth-most in the American League. He is in line to face the Reds at home next weekend.

Estevez earned the save in Sunday's 7-5 win over the White Sox, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one in one inning. He let two inherited runners score but was not charged with any earned runs.

Estevez entered the ninth with a 7-3 lead and the bases loaded after Trevor Richards struggled to start the inning. Two of the baserunners came around to score on a single and a groundout, but Estevez was ultimately able to put out the fire. The 32-year-old leads the American League with 19 saves and owns a 1.88 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB across 28.2 innings.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland.

Smith was held out of the Astros' lineup for the past two games due to an illness, but he was given the green light to return Sunday. He made his impact felt in the seventh inning with a two-run double, which ended up being the only runs Houston scored. Smith is slashing .246/.326/.365 with three steals, three home runs and 20 RBI across 187 plate appearances this season but has a 29.4 percent strikeout rate as the rookie third baseman continues to get acclimated to major-league pitching.

Walter allowed two runs on six hits while striking out five across six innings, but he did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Guardians. He did not issue a walk.

Walter was promoted from Triple-A Sugar Land to make his second major-league start of the season. He put the Astros behind after yielding a two-run homer to Bo Naylor in the second, but Walter kept the Guardians off the board the rest of the way and retired the last 10 batters he faced. Per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, the Astros plan on using a six-man rotation during their stretch of 13 straight games, which puts Walter in line to make his next start against the Twins at home next weekend.

Clase earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Astros, allowing two hits in a scoreless ninth.

Clase worked around back-to-back singles to Yainer Diaz and Jake Meyers to come away with the save, needing just 12 pitches (six strikes) to do so. Clase has converted 10 straight save opportunities, with his last blown save taking place April 20 against the Pirates. He has yielded just one earned run since the beginning of May and has a 3.54 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB across 28 innings this season.

Naylor went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over Houston.

Naylor -- who went 1-for-26 with 12 strikeouts in the nine games prior to Sunday -- put the Guardians on the board in the second inning when he took Brandon Walter deep to right-center field for a 429-foot, two-run home run. It was Naylor's first home run since May 24 against the Tigers, and his eight homers on the season are tied for fifth-most among catchers in the American League.

Bibee did not factor into the decision in Sunday's game against the Astros, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six across 6.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

Bibee kept the Astros off the board through the first six innings. He looked to be in line for the win with the Guardians up 2-0, but he yielded a two-run double to Cam Smith in the seventh before being pulled. Bibee is up to six quality starts this season and boasts a 3.81 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 62:23 K:BB across 75.2 innings, but the 14 home runs he's allowed are fourth-most in the American League. He's slated to start against the Mariners on the road next weekend.

Dominguez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

After moving past a thumb issue that kept him out of the lineup for a pair of contests, Dominguez had started each of the past three games but went just 1-for-12 with one walk and seven strikeouts. The Yankees will give Dominguez the night off to clear his head, opening up the designated-hitter spot for Ben Rice while Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham start alongside Aaron Judge in the outfield.
