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.

Ohtani allowed one run on two hits and three walks over six innings during Sunday's win over Minnesota. He struck out nine and did not factor in the decision. At the plate, he went 1-for-3 with a walk.

After several rough starts, Ohtani was back to his usual self on the mound Sunday. He allowed one run in the third inning but otherwise faced little threat from the Twins. Ohtani ended his outing with four consecutive strikeouts and totaled 22 whiffs on 99 pitches. He'd allowed at least three runs in four straight outings entering Sunday but he still owns a strong 3.05 ERA for the year. His next start is currently projected to be at home against the Marlins.

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.

Buxton (calf) is out of the lineup against the Angels on Sunday.

Buxton was removed from Saturday's game against Los Angeles with tightness in his calf, and he'll miss at least one game while on the mend. Edouard Julien is hitting cleanup and operating as the designated hitter while Buxton sits.

Rooker went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Astros on Saturday.

Rooker put the Athletics' first run of the night on the board with his fourth-inning knock, which plated Ryan Noda. The 28-year-old's multi-hit effort was his fourth in the last 10 games and snapped him out of a brief 0-for-8 skid over his last two games that included a highly atypical four-strikeout tally in Friday's series opener.

Turner (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres

Turner was removed from Friday's game against San Diego with left knee soreness, and while manager Alex Cora was hopeful for a return to the lineup on Sunday, Turner will miss at least one more game while recuperating. Masataka Yoshida will be the designated hitter for Sunday's finale while Ramiel Tapia gets the start in left.

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.
