Edwards went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's win over Atlanta.

The second baseman launched a solo shot in the fifth inning off Aaron Bummer, going back-to-back with Javier Sanoja to break open the game. It was Edwards' fifth homer of the season -- he came into 2026 with only four in just over 1,000 big-league plate appearances -- and four of them have come in May, a month in which he's slashing .297/.357/.547 over 17 games with two steals, nine RBI and 13 runs.

Nunez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Nunez has remained a fantasy asset with a National League-best 19 steals in 21 attempts on the season, but his lack of production at the plate may be starting to cost him some playing time. He'll head to the bench for the second time in four games while he's mustered a lowly .162/.289/.216 slash line since the beginning of May.

Castro went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a double Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Castro doubled in a run in the fourth inning and picked up his second RBI of the game four frames later on a sacrifice fly. He snapped out of a five-game hitless streak Saturday and now has three hits across 10 at-bats with two RBI and two runs scored in three contests to begin Colorado's current homestand. Castro is hitting only .236 for the season, though he does have 20 runs scored and 15 RBI in his 38 contests.

Arraez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 10-1 victory over the Athletics.

Arraez stayed hot in the Giants' victory, tallying three hits, highlighted by a solo homer to open the scoring in the third inning. It has been a strong May for the second baseman, who is slashing .375/.444/.589 with two homers, six doubles, five RBI and 10 runs across 14 contests this month. With Sunday's performance, Arraez's season OPS climbed to .807 through 44 games.

Stott went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 6-0 win over Pittsburgh.

Following an abysmal start to the season at the plate, during which he posted a .534 OPS through April, Stott is certainly finding his groove in May. Sunday marked his fourth homer of the month, and he's hit safely in 11 of his last 16 games. Stott is batting .250 with nine extra-base hits, 16 RBI and four stolen bases over 56 at-bats during that stretch, raising his season OPS to .653, and the door is open for the infielder to work his way up Philadelphia's batting order a bit.

Edwards went 2-for-5 with one RBI, one run scored and two stolen bases in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Rays.

Edwards had an active third inning, driving in a run, swiping second base and then scoring later in the frame. The 26-year-old also notched his first multi-steal effort of the year, and he's now hit safely in eight of his past 10 games with two home runs, four RBI and nine runs scored during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .318/.404/.468 with four homers, 16 RBI, 33 runs scored and six stolen bases across 199 plate appearances.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

There's been no indication he's injured, so it's likely just a maintenance day for Marte after he started the previous seven games. Ildemaro Vargas will shift to the keystone while Jose Fernandez picks up a start at first base.

Kim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Kim started the past four games after being reinstated from the injured list Monday, and he'll receive a break after collecting just one hit in his first 18 plate appearances of the season. Jorge Mateo will take over at shortstop in the series finale versus Boston.

Wetherholt isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

The Cardinals haven't shied away from starting Wetherholt against left-handers, but they'll give him a breather Saturday with southpaw Noah Cameron on the bump for Kansas City. Thomas Saggese will fill in at second base and bat sixth.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 11-9 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

The second baseman launched a two-run homer off Aaron Nola in the third inning before adding a solo shot off Tim Mayza in the fifth, but Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies' offense took control from there. It was Lowe's third multi-homer game of the season, and through his first 39 contests with Pittsburgh he's slashing .252/.352/.563 with 12 long balls, 26 runs and 31 RBI.
