Tellez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

Tellez had a day off Saturday with a left-hander on the mound for the Cubs, but he hit a go-ahead home run in the top of the sixth inning Sunday as the Brewers picked up their first win of the season. The 27-year-old performed well after being traded to Milwaukee last year, and he's gone 3-for-7 with a homer, two runs, two RBI, a walk and two strikeouts across his first two appearances in 2022.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 10-1 victory over Detroit.

Abreu recorded an RBI groundout in the first inning and then doubled in a run in the third. He later was driven home by Andrew Vaughn in the seventh and ninth innings. The veteran first baseman tallied four hits and scored six runs in the opening series against the Tigers.

Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a homer, four RBI and a walk in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Tigers.

The White Sox already had a comfortable 6-1 lead before Vaughn launched a three-run shot off Elvin Rodriguez in the seventh inning. He later added an RBI single in the ninth. The 24-year-old slugger is 4-for-10 with two long balls and six RBI to start his second MLB campaign.

Walker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in a 10-5 loss to Arizona on Sunday.

Walker broke out of an early skid with walks in the fourth and eighth innings sandwiching a homer in the sixth. The 31-year-old should see steady run in the middle of Arizona's weak lineup and is a fringe fantasy asset if he can approach his 2019 numbers.

Voit went 1-for-2 with two runs and three walks in a 10-5 triumph over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Voit walked in the second, fifth and sixth innings, scoring on two occasions, and singled in the ninth. The former Yankee leads the majors with seven walks -- two more than anyone else -- and sports an impressive .529 OBP in the early going.

Cooper was removed from Sunday's game against the Giants in the top of the fourth inning due to a left wrist contusion, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper exited Sunday's matchup after being hit by a pitch, but he underwent X-rays after the game that came back negative. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-2 with an RBI. Since initial test results have been encouraging, he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's game against the Angels.

Olson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's loss to the Reds.

Olson touched up rookie flamethrower Hunter Greene for his first home run with Atlanta. The first baseman doesn't seem fazed by the outside pressures that come with a new $168 million contract extension. He is batting .571 with a 1.576 OPS through four games as Atlanta's two-hole hitter.

France went 3-for-5 with a run-scoring single and an RBI double in a win over the Twins on Saturday.

France continued his season-opening hot streak at the plate with some clutch hitting, evening the score at 1-1 in the third with his two-bagger to deep left center. He struck again in the ninth with a tie-breaking single that plated Adam Frazier with what would prove to be the game-winning run. France heads into Sunday having gone 4-for-7 with two walks over the first two games of the series.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Toronto.

The 34-year-old started in right field Friday and Saturday but is on the bench for the series finale with southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu pitching for the Blue Jays. Calhoun had a .334 OPS in 43 plate appearances versus left-handed pitching in 2021 and is unlikely to have many of those opportunities again this year. Eli White will enter the lineup in center field for Calhoun, pushing Adolis Garcia to right.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Saturday in the White Sox's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Abreu's two hits tied Luis Robert and Josh Harrison for the team lead, as the White Sox exacted revenge on the Tigers on Saturday after dropping Friday's series opener. The veteran first baseman is once again locked in as the centerpiece of a loaded White Sox lineup that should take off as the weather begins to warm in the Midwest. Abreu will start again in Sunday's series finale, manning first base and batting third, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com.
