Martinez went 4-for-5 with two solo homers and three runs scored in Monday's win over Atlanta.

Martinez went deep to get the Dodgers on the board in the second inning and later clocked another homer in the seventh. It was his first multi-hit game since he collected four hits April 18. Martinez has three home runs in his last three games, giving him eight for the year with a .264/.310/.566 slash line through 142 plate appearances.

Meneses went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

All three hits were singles, but it still extended a very productive stretch for Meneses. Over his last 20 games, the 31-year-old is slashing .349/.372/.446 with five doubles, a homer, 10 runs and 14 RBI.

Soler went 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Giants.

Soler opened the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning, and he added RBI singles in the third and fifth. He had gone just 3-for-22 (.136) across his previous six games, though two of those hits were homers. The 31-year-old is up to a .247/.324/.518 slash line with 12 homers, 27 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine doubles through 45 contests this season. He needs just one more long ball to match his total from 2022.

Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a homer, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's win against the Red Sox.

Carpenter drew a bases-loaded walk and later scored in the first inning. He then extended San Diego's lead with a two-run shot in the third. Carpenter had been stuck in an 8-for-45 (.178) skid over his previous 16 games since his last home run April 23. He's now slashing .211/.342/.422 through 111 plate appearances.

Morel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss against the Phillies.

Morel has hit safely in all 11 games since he was recalled from Triple-A. He's now 17-for-46 with eight home runs and a staggering 1.353 OPS with the Cubs this season. While his current pace isn't sustainable, Morel has certainly earned a regular role in Chicago and should be rostered in all fantasy formats.

Blackmon is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

Blackmon will take a seat as the Rockies face left-hander Andrew Heaney on Sunday. The outfielder has been limited to just 39 at-bats versus southpaws in 2023, batting .282 with two extra-base hits. Kris Bryant will draw the start at designated hitter while Randal Grichuk enters the lineup in right field and bats fourth in the series finale with Texas.

Vientos is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Vientos is 2-for-8 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in two games since being promoted Wednesday, and he'll step out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's twin bill. Daniel Vogelbach will serve as the designated hitter versus Cleveland righty Tanner Bibee.

Canha is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Cleveland.

Canha has a .235/.278/.373 slash line through 16 games in May and will hit the bench for Sunday's matinee. Jeff McNeil will move to left field while Eduardo Escobar receives a start at the keystone.

Winker is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Rays.

Winker will take a seat as the Brewers face left-hander Jalen Beeks on the mound Sunday. Darin Ruf will take over at designated hitter and bat fifth in the series finale with Tampa Bay.

Martinez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.

Martinez's lone hit of the contest was a big one, as he connected for a three-run homer in the sixth inning to tie the game 3-3. The long ball was his sixth of the campaign and his second since returning from a stint on the injured list May 12. Since being activated, he's notched a hit in all but of the eight contests in which he's played, though that has amounted to a modest .212 batting average. Martinez has also knocked in nine RBI over the eight-game span.
