Senga (0-7) took the loss Sunday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in five innings of relief. He struck out four.

The Mets elected to roll with the struggling Senga as a bulk reliever for the first time in his major-league career, and the decision may have helped yield one of the hurler's better outings of the season. The 33-year-old right-hander still hasn't permitted fewer than two runs in any appearance, but Sunday marked just the third time this year that he completed at least five frames. Still searching for win No. 1, Senga will carry a woeful 9.09 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 38:23 K:BB across 32.2 innings into his next scheduled outing in Atlanta.

Ramos went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Ramos missed about six weeks due to a quadriceps strain. The outfielder is expected to take over as the starting right fielder for the Giants, but he served as the designated hitter in this contest. He's now hitting .268 with a .734 OPS, four home runs, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 45 games this season. Ramos' return adds a little bit of power to the lineup.

Kilian allowed one run on two hits and struck out one without walking a batter over one inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Kilian was tasked with protecting a two-run lead after eight strong innings from Robbie Ray. It was a little shaky, but Kilian was able to come away with his first save since Tuesday. He had blown a save in his previous outing Thursday, allowing four runs in a loss to the Athletics. Kilian is at a 4.11 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 41:17 K:BB over 35 innings this season. He's converted six of eight save chances while adding three holds. While he hasn't been at his best in late June, he still has the edge for save opportunities at this time.

Ray (7-6) allowed one unearned run on four hits and a walk while striking out two over eight innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Sunday.

Ray has not allowed an earned run in his last three games, giving up just two unearned runs on eight hits and seven walks over his last 22.1 innings. He's won all three of those outings, and he gave up just seven runs (five earned) across 33 innings in June. For the season, the southpaw has a 3.39 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 82:43 K:BB across 95.2 innings through 17 appearances (16 starts). Ray's next outing is projected to be on the road in Colorado. He gave up three runs (one earned) over just four innings May 31 at Coors Field.

Kelly (5-8) took the loss Sunday against the Rays, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out three.

Kelly struggled to find a rhythm Sunday, tossing just two scoreless innings on the afternoon. The month of June wasn't particularly kind to the 37-year-old right-hander, who has now coughed up 23 runs to go along with a concerning 14:11 K:BB across his last 28.1 frames. Kelly has also taken a loss in each of his past five starts, so he'll be hoping to turn the page when he brings a 5.84 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 47:33 K:BB over 81.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Brewers.

Sears will start Tuesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Sears will receive a second turn through the rotation after coming up from Triple-A El Paso and submitting a strong effort in his 2026 MLB debut last Wednesday. In a home matchup with Atlanta, Sears struck out five batters and yielded two earned runs on five hits and two walks across 5.2 innings en route to claiming a win. Sears' numbers at the Triple-A level this season (7.92 ERA, 1.84 WHIP in 63.2 innings) have been less than stellar, however, so fantasy managers may want to tread carefully while he heads into a two-start week against a pair of tough opponents on the road. After Tuesday's outing, Sears will line up for a second start versus the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Sunday.

De La Cruz sprained his ankle trying to get out of the batter's box in Sunday's loss to the Pirates, but he stayed in the game. The team worked on the ankle during the rain delay, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

After the game, manager Terry Francona said the team will re-evaluate De La Cruz on Monday. Often with ankle sprains, the day after is critical. The Reds continue their road trip with a big four-game series in Milwaukee on Monday.

Suarez (hand/wrist) underwent X-rays, which were inconclusive, after his departure from Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Pirates, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Suarez left Sunday's contest in the eighth inning after taking a 92.4 mph four-seam fastball from Mitch Keller off his left hand/wrist in the top of the sixth. The veteran slugger is expected to undergo additional imaging Monday morning, and his status moving forward will likely be updated then. The Reds are set to host the Brewers for a four-game set beginning Monday, and Suarez can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Shaw was removed from Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Brewers in the ninth inning as a result of wrist soreness, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Shaw opened the game on the bench as the Cubs opted to go with Michael Conforto in right field Sunday. Shaw entered the contest as a pinch hitter in place of Conforto in the top of the seventh frame, drawing a walk in his only at-bat of the day. When Shaw's next turn at the plate arrived in the ninth inning, Justin Dean batted in his place. The 24-year-old Shaw can be considered day-to-day with the wrist discomfort ahead of Monday's series opener against the Padres at home.

Garcia went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five total RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Orioles.

After tying the game 2-2 with a two-run double in the third inning, Garcia extended Washington's lead to 5-2 with a two-run homer off Tyler Wells in the fifth before adding a solo homer in the seventh. Garcia has been on an otherworldly run at the plate of late, going 10-for-19 with six homers in his last six contests. He's now slashing .279/.307/.543 with 16 long balls (two shy of his career high), 55 RBI, 33 runs scored and two steals across 270 plate appearances this year.
