Vientos went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Getting the start at third base against Matthew Boyd, Vientos took the southpaw deep for a solo shot in the sixth inning. Brett Baty has started the last three games at the hot corner against right-handed pitching, but Vientos should see more action at DH in those matchups if he keeps hitting. Since returning from a minor groin injury April 22, the 25-year-old is slashing .313/.366/.500 over his last 17 games with three of his five homers and 11 of his 17 RBI on the year.

Clement went 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Mariners.

The 29-year-old utility player has started four straight games at second base since Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) landed on the IL, and Clement has gone an impressive 8-for-16 during that span with a steal, two RBI and three runs. All eight hits have been singles however, and he's still looking for his first homer of 2025 after launching 12 in 139 games last season. With Addison Barger also heating up while getting regular run at third base and offering a lot more upside in an everyday role, Clement could have a hard time finding consistent at-bats once Gimenez returns.

Hayes went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against Atlanta.

Hayes hit atop the Pirates' order with Oneil Cruz (back) sidelined and lefty Chris Sale on the mound. He swiped his fourth stolen base of the season, his first since April 14 and only second since Opening Day. Overall, Hayes is hitting a decent .253 across 157 plate appearances, but he has just five extra-base hits.

Duran started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.

Duran filled in for Corey Seager, who aggravated a hamstring injury Saturday. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Seager is operating at about 85 percent, per MLB.com. Seager is set to undergo more further evaluation Monday. Should that lead to another stint on the injured list, Duran would be in line for more opportunities.

McMahon went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two walks and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Padres.

McMahon capped off his strong weekend with a solo home run in the eighth to extend the Rockies lead. He's now homered four times this month and has raised his OPS to .736 after posting a .508 OPS in March/April. In his last seven games, McMahon is hitting .500/.607/1.091 with a 6:5 BB:K. He's notoriously been more effective in Denver and will aim to keep his hot bat going this week despite the Rockies having all their games on the road.

Lugo went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Orioles.

Lugo stepped up to the plate as a pinch hitter in the ninth and delivered a 421-foot solo homer to left field. His first two major-league hits have now been an RBI triple and a solo home run in three games. It's still hard to envision Lugo carving out more consistent at-bats in the short term, but he definitely made some noise this past weekend and could be afforded some extra looks.

Lewis went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's 7-6 win over San Francisco. He ended an 0-for-13 slump to begin the season.

Lewis slumped at the end of last season as well, so he was 0-for-36 since last September before Sunday. Lewis missed the team's first 35 games after suffering a strained hamstring late in spring training. He may finally be shaking off the rust with Sunday's performance.

Lee went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and three runs scored in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Giants.

Lee put the Twins on the board with his two-run shot in the fourth inning. It was his third home run of the year and first since April 30. He later singled and scored in the sixth and 10th innings. Lee had gone 9-for-46 (.196) with one multi-hit performance over his previous 13 games entering Sunday. He's now slashing .253/.301/.402 with seven extra-base hits through 26 games.

Jung went 2-for-4 with with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.

Jung extended the Rangers' lead to 5-0 with a two-run blast in the fifth inning. The third baseman has mostly struggled through 10 May contests, going just 7-for-35 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .265/.301/.436 with four long balls, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and two steals across 123 plate appearances.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win at Washington.

With his 385-foot homer in the eighth inning off reliever Brad Lord, the veteran third baseman snapped an 11-game stretch without a long ball. Over that span, Arenado hit .256 (11-for-43) with a double, four runs scored and two RBI. Despite cracking only four homers through 159 plate appearances so far, Arenado has produced a solid .270/.352/.426 slash line with 19 runs scored and 16 RBI across 37 games.
