Sanchez (8-3) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Brewers.

Sanchez gave up a solo home run to Jackson Chourio in the first inning and a three-run blast to Blake Perkins in the fourth. Sanchez had gone at least seven innings in each of his previous seven starts, and he allowed a total of one homer in that span. Given how well he's performed this season, this is likely to be just a blip on the radar. The southpaw has a 1.82 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 116:19 K:BB over 99 innings through 15 starts on the year. Sanchez will look to bounce back at home versus the Mets in his next start.

The Mets will recall Myers from Triple-A Syracuse to start Monday's game against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has spent the past couple weeks with Syracuse, but he's now set to make just his third big-league start of the season. Myers has primarily worked as a reliever in the majors this season and has posted a 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Myers started in his most recent appearance with Syracuse on Thursday, but since he covered just 2.2 innings and 36 pitches in that outing, he'll likely handle a limited workload for the Mets on Monday.

Elder (5-4) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing six runs on 10 hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out two.

The Mets jumped on Elder for four runs in the first inning before the right-hander gave up back-to-back home runs to A.J. Ewing and Marcus Semien to open the fifth. It's the first time that Elder has given up more than one homer in a start this season, and he also allowed season highs in both runs and hits. Elder's ERA now sits at 3.15 through 15 starts (88.2 innings) this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 73:27 K:BB. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

Ewing went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over Atlanta.

Ewing came a triple shy of a cycle Sunday while logging the second three-hit game of his major-league career. The rookie outfielder put the Mets ahead with his RBI double in the first inning before extending the lead to 5-1 in the fifth with a home run, his second of the year, off Bryce Elder. Ewing has gone 13-for-38 (.342) over his last 11 games, boosting his slash line to .267/.339/.381 through 120 plate appearances this season with 14 runs scored, nine RBI and seven stolen bases.

Peralta (5-5) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing a run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out two.

It looked like it was going to be a short day for Peralta after he gave up singles to the first three batters he faced in the first inning. However, he'd manage to hold Atlanta to just one run in the frame before settling in and allowing just one additional hit over his final four frames, while the Mets' bats rallied en route to an 8-1 victory. It was an encouraging bounce-back effort from Peralta, who'd struggled to a 5.70 ERA across 23.2 innings over his previous four outings. Overall, the right-hander sports a 3.90 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 81:33 K:BB through 15 starts (83 innings) this season. Peralta is tentatively lined up to face the Phillies on the road his next time out.

Hoerner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The Cubs will go with Pedro Ramirez at second base in the series finale while the slumping Hoerner receives his first day off since May 25. While starting each of the Cubs' last 17 games, Hoerner slashed just .200/.250/.229 with zero home runs, two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs.

Manager Walt Weiss said Sunday that there's "nothing definitive" on Strider's inflamed right elbow, adding that the 27-year-old is scheduled to be evaluated by Dr. Keith Meister at some point this week, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Strider has familiarity with Dr. Meister, who performed his UCL brace procedure in 2024, per Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal. With that in mind, Strider's upcoming appointment is noteworthy, even though Atlanta has yet to provide any specifics beyond the initial diagnosis. The right-hander landed on the injured list Saturday after exiting his start Friday against the Mets, and his outlook will remain up in the air as he continues to be evaluated.

Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

The left-handed-hitting Julien will retreat to the bench with southpaw Jeffrey Springs toeing the rubber for the Athletics. Julien has been included in the lineup for every matchup with a right-handed starter so far in June and is slashing .333/.419/.407 so far this month, but it's unclear if he'll be able to hold down a strong-side platoon role after Colorado reinstated Tyler Freeman (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Sunday.

Thompson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

The left-handed-hitting Thompson will retreat to the bench while the Athletics send southpaw Jeffrey Springs to the hill for the series finale. Thompson started in each of Colorado's last three games and went just 1-for-10 with six strikeouts.

McCarthy (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

It's the fifth straight game out of the lineup for McCarthy, who was scratched Wednesday due to an illness. The 28-year-old may not have been in lineup Sunday regardless, with lefty Jeffrey Springs on the mound for the A's. McCarthy entered as a pinch runner and was caught stealing in Saturday's contest, so he should be back in the lineup soon.
