Muncy went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a three-run home run during Sunday's 13-7 win over the Nationals.

Muncy tied his career high in RBI, plating seven Dodgers for the second time in just over three weeks after doing so May 31. He's having an excellent month at the plate, going 18-for-58 (.310) with five home runs across 19 games in June. He had logged merely four home runs before then.

Soroka didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Soroka kept the Dodgers scoreless through five innings and notched all 10 of his Ks before the sixth, but he was quickly bounced from the contest in the sixth frame. He allowed a ground-rule double, a walk and a hit-by-pitch, loading the bases for Jose Ferrer, who served up a grand slam to Max Muncy. Soroka has posted seven or more Ks in three of his last four starts, owning a 4.03 ERA and a 31:8 K:BB across 22.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Angels next weekend.

Casparius (6-1) picked up the win Sunday against Washington, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts over five innings.

Casparius followed Shohei Ohtani for a second consecutive outing and completed five frames for the first time this season. All of the damage against Casparius came with one swing of the bat when Nathaniel Lowe launched a three-run home run in the third inning. In his last three outings, Casparius has allowed six runs with a 6:4 K:BB over 12.2 innings. He's in line to make his next appearance against Kansas City, though he may follow Ohtani again.

Doyle went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Doyle has enjoyed Colorado's return to Coors Field, as he went 3-for-7 with three runs scored and a stolen base across two games in the team's weekend series against Arizona. His surface stats haven't improved significantly of late, though Doyle has managed two stolen bases -- he now has eight on the season -- and nine runs scored across his last 12 starts.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a sacrifice fly during Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Dodgers.

Lowe has been crushing the baseball lately, clubbing four homers in his last six games, including Sunday's three-run shot off Ben Casparius. The first baseman is 16-for-71 (.225) with 12 RBI and eight runs scored over 20 games in June. He's got a .699 OPS on the year.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Phillies.

Lindor homered for a second straight game, following up Saturday's solo shot with a solo homer off Max Lazar in the eighth inning Sunday. Lindor supplied two of the Mets' four hits on the day. Since the start of June, Lindor is 17-for-74 (.230) with four home runs and three stolen bases.

Luzardo (7-3) picked up the win Sunday against the Mets, allowing three hits and one walk over 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Luzardo has endured a roller coaster during the past month, allowing three or fewer runs in three of his six outings, but allowing eight or more runs twice. He was excellent Sunday, notching his first scoreless start since April 4 and picking up his second win in his last three appearances. Luzardo owns a 4.08 ERA and a 104:29 K:BB in 90.1 innings this season. He's tentatively scheduled to face Atlanta next weekend.

Peterson (5-3) took the loss Sunday against Philadelphia, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out four.

Peterson hadn't allowed a home run in his past six starts, but he yielded a pair of round trippers Sunday. Both homers came in the fourth frame on a solo shot from Kyle Schwarber and a three-run homer from Edmundo Sosa. Peterson's loss was his first since May 6. On the year, Peterson owns a 2.98 ERA to go along with a 78:31 K:BB across 90.2 innings.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

Schwarber tagged David Peterson for a solo homer in the fourth inning, marking the slugger's fourth home run in his last 11 outings. During that stretch, Schwarber is 11-for-40 (.275) with nine RBI, 11 runs scored and two strikeouts. On the year, he has the fifth-most homers in baseball.

Oviedo (lat) has progressed to throwing sim games, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Oviedo is at the Pirates' spring training facility for the next step in his recovery. He'll still need to embark on a lengthy rehab assignment before returning, but he is expected to rejoin the big-league rotation at some point after the All-Star break.
