  • Dane Myers RF | MIA

    Marlins' Dane Myers: Swats second career homer

    Myers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mets.

    Myers tagged Sean Manaea for a two-run homer in the second inning, marking Myers' first homer of 2024 and just the second long ball of his career. Since being called up April 28, Myers is slashing .269/.367/.462 with 12 strikeouts in 30 plate appearances.

  • Brandon Nimmo LF | NYM

    Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Clubs homer

    Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 7-3 win over the Marlins.

    After going 0-for-12 during the Mets' series against Philadelphia, Nimmo has started the Marlins series 2-for-8 (.250) with a double, a two-run home run and five total runs scored. Nimmo's homer Sunday came off Anthony Bender in the ninth inning and marked the outfielder's seventh of the season. In 193 plate appearances, Nimmo owns a .777 OPS.

  • Reed Garrett RP | NYM

    Mets' Reed Garrett: Lands six-out save

    Garrett earned the save Sunday against Miami, allowing one hit and no walks with four strikeouts over two scoreless innings.

    Garrett took the ball in the eighth with the Mets leading 4-3 and, after striking out the side and getting four runs of support, stayed out to complete the ninth. It's unclear if Garrett would still have gotten the save chance if New York didn't extend its lead, but he's still a candidate for saves moving forward with Edwin Diaz moving out of the closer role temporarily to get back on track.

  • Sixto Sanchez RP | MIA

    Marlins' Sixto Sanchez: Strong outside of first frame

    Sanchez (0-2) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks across four innings. He struck out two.

    All four runs against Sanchez came in the first inning, when he walked two batters, hit another and allowed three hits. Sanchez threw 85 pitches, a step up after tossing 81 pitches in his last start. He's made five straight starts but is still in the process of being stretched out, and he has yet to complete five innings. Although Edward Cabrera (shoulder) started throwing off a mound Friday, Sanchez should get another turn in the rotation, which is scheduled for Saturday at Arizona.

  • Sean Manaea SP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Picks up win

    Manaea (3-1) earned the win Sunday against Miami, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out four.

    Manaea allowed three or fewer runs for his sixth straight appearance, but he did yield his second homer of the campaign when Dane Myers hit a two-run blast in the second inning. Although Manaea hasn't gone deeper than six innings this year, he owns a solid 3.11 ERA with 41 strikeouts across 46.1 innings. He's on track for a home start against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Lars Nootbaar RF | STL

    Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Goes deep in loss

    Nootbaar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    Nootbaar is up to five homers on the year, four of which have come in his last 11 games. In that span, he's gone 12-for-39 (.308) with 10 RBI and a 10:8 BB:K. The outfielder had a slow start to the year after missing the first two weeks with broken ribs. Nootbaar is still slashing a middling .218/.331/.403 on the season, but he's trending in the right direction. He's added 17 RBI, 13 runs scored, two stolen bases and seven doubles over 33 contests while filling a near-everyday role in the Cardinals' outfield.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | COL

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Homers in Sunday's loss

    McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.

    McMahon extended his hitting streak to eight games, and he's now gone 13-for-33 (.394) with two homers and five RBI in that span. His first-inning blast off Jordan Hicks was just one of three hits the Rockies mustered in the contest. McMahon is up to seven homers, 25 RBI, 22 runs scored and 10 doubles while slashing .306/.387/.486 through 46 games this season.

  • Dakota Hudson SP | COL

    Rockies' Dakota Hudson: Cruises until fifth inning

    Hudson (1-7) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Giants.

    Hudson had a good start going until the fifth inning, as the Giants found success against him the third time through the order. Hudson has completed six innings just twice in nine starts, and he's failed to complete five frames in three of his last five outings. The right-hander has a poor 5.89 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 26:27 K:BB over 44.1 innings this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Phillies, which could be a recipe for disaster.

  • Johan Rojas CF | PHI

    Phillies' Johan Rojas: Swipes two bags

    Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Nationals.

    Rojas stole second base both times he reached, tallying his 10th and 11th pilfers of the campaign. The outing was Rojas' second multi-steal game of his career. Although Rojas' batting average has fallen from .302 to .228 in comparison to last season, he's been much more disciplined at the plate, with his BB/K improving from 0.12 to 0.27 through 40 games.

  • Heliot Ramos LF | SF

    Giants' Heliot Ramos: Lifts homer in win

    Ramos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

    Ramos has an extra-base hit in three of his last four games and at least one RBI in six of his last seven contests. The outfielder is batting .293 with a homer, eight RBI, six runs scored, a stolen base and three doubles through 44 plate appearances since he was called up May 8. Ramos is seeing steady time in the corner outfield while the Giants navigate a rough patch of injuries, and he's earned that role with strong hitting.
