Lawlar went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

This was Lawlar's second appearance since coming off the injured list, and he's swiped bags in both contests (three overall), upping his total to four over eight games this season. Other than 2024, when injuries limited him to 23 games, Lawlar's posted double-digit stolen bases every year since becoming a full-time professional.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Marte tied the game in the sixth inning with a 448-foot blast of Zac Gallen, his third homer of the year, all of which have come in his last three games. The 24-year-old Marte has seen steady playing time in the outfield since returning to the majors earlier this month. He's gone 8-for-26 (.308) with a 1.049 OPS in nine games since his recall after slashing just .138/.194/.138 across 11 contests earlier in the season. One major difference between how Marte is hitting now compared to earlier this season is that he's not chasing balls outside the zone, per C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. During his initial stint, he had 10 strikeouts over 31 plate appearances compared to just five in 28 PAs since his recall.

Troy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over Cincinnati.

Troy got the Diamondbacks on the board in the third inning, when he tied the game at 1-1 with his second home run since being called up in May. After a strong two-week run upon his introduction to the majors, the prospect has slumped over the last week, going 2-for-21 with a 24.0 strikeout percentage over the last seven contests. When the club decides to bring Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) off the injured list, Troy's roster spot could be in jeopardy.

Moreno went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

Moreno broke a 3-3 tie with an eighth-inning home run, his sixth of the season. The long ball extended an on-base streak to 11 games, during which the catcher has gone 11-for-39 (.282 average) with eight walks, six extra-base hits and four RBI.

Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

Perdomo put the Diamondbacks ahead in the sixth inning with his 400-foot blast off Tejay Antone, his fourth of the year and first in 15 games. Perdomo got off to a slow start this season, though he's started to swing the bat better of late, going 14-for-39 (.359) with an .892 OPS in his last 12 contests. Overall, he's slashing .244/.350/.359 across 284 plate appearances this season with 24 RBI, 30 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox

Freeman wasted little time getting the Dodgers on the board, taking Bryan Hudson deep in the first inning for a solo shot. The homer was his 11th of the season and continued an impressive stretch for the first baseman, who is batting .299 with an .899 OPS, five homers and 15 RBI over his last 20 games. Despite the surge, Freeman's .275 season batting average would represent his lowest mark since 2012 should it not improve.

Betts went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

Betts provided some late offense for Los Angeles, taking Grant Taylor deep in the eighth inning for a solo shot. The homer was his seventh of the season and his first in 15 games, ending a power drought where he batted just .188 with one RBI. He also stole his first base of 2026 in the fourth inning. Through 37 games, Betts is slashing just .204 with a .641 OPS.

Dominguez earned the save in Sunday's 6-4 win against the Dodgers, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over one inning.

Dominguez was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning and ultimately got the job done despite some late drama. The right-hander worked around two walks and an RBI double before recording the final outs to secure his 12th save of the season. It was Dominguez's first save since May 25, after which he posted five scoreless appearances and allowed just two baserunners total since. He now owns a 3.81 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 26 innings this year.

Fedde (2-5) earned the win Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out four over 2.2 scoreless innings of relief.

Fedde entered in the fourth inning after Bryan Hudson and Sean Newcomb combined for 3.1 innings of one-run ball. The right-hander struck out two batters to finish the fourth before working around traffic in each of the next two frames. He stranded runners on the corners in both the fifth and sixth innings to preserve Chicago's lead and ultimately pick up his second win of the season. Fedde has pitched well of late, posting a 1.62 ERA across his last four appearances and he now owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 44:26 K:BB across 66 innings this season. The 33-year-old is scheduled to face Detroit on the road in his next outing.

Sheehan (3-4) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over five innings.

Sheehan showed much improvement from his previous outing, when he lasted just 1.1 innings and needed 49 pitches while allowing two earned runs. The right-hander was dominant early Sunday, holding Chicago scoreless through five innings while piling up eight strikeouts. Things unraveled quickly in the sixth, however, as Sam Antonacci led off the frame with a solo homer before a single and a double chased Sheehan from the game with no outs and a runner on second. Reliever Jack Dreyer was unable to strand the inherited runner, and Chicago ultimately scored six runs in the inning. Sheehan now sports a 4.76 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 72:17 K:BB across 64.1 innings and is scheduled to face Baltimore in his next start, when he'll be looking for his first win since May 14.
