Walker went 2-for-2 with a walk, three RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Reds.

Walker extended his hitting streak to seven games with a strong weekend series. He's struck out only 16.1 percent of the time across 31 plate appearances in that span while hitting .385 with six RBI and four runs scored. Since the start of May, Walker has raised his batting average from .198 to .225.

Aranda went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Brewers.

Aranda continues to sit against most lefties but has crushed right-handed pitching consistently throughout the season. After Sunday's performance, he has a trio of three-hit games and four multi-hit efforts across seven starts in May. He has hit .481 with five RBI and four runs scored in that span.

Simpson went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored Sunday against the Brewers.

After a hot start to his big-league career, Simpson has slowed considerably across his last 10 contests. Even with Sunday's two-hit performance, he is hitting only .212 in that span with two RBI, five runs scored -- albeit with four stolen bases. Simpson also remains the Rays' primary leadoff hitter and has started 17 of 20 games since being promoted.

Meidroth went 2-for-4 with a double Sunday against the Marlins.

Meidroth was absent from Friday's game due to right shoulder soreness, but he served as the leadoff hitter for the White Sox in their final two matchups against the Marlins. He managed his first multi-hit game since May 2 on Sunday and is hitting just .229 across 11 games for the month, though he does have five runs scored in that span.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with three doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Athletics.

Goldschmidt scattered his three doubles to each area of the outfield but only came around to score in the second inning. He continues to have a renaissance season at the age of 37 after posting the worst offensive numbers of his career in 2024. Goldschmidt is now second in baseball with 17 multi-hit games and a .349 batting average, trailing only his teammate Aaron Judge in both.

Rice went 2-for-3 with a grand slam, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Athletics. He also reached twice via hit-by-pitch.

Rice demolished a fifth-inning grand slam to put the Yankees ahead 10-1. Dating back to April 29, eight of his 10 hits have gone for extra-bases, and he now sits eighth in baseball with a .937 OPS. The power Rice has shown so far this season has been remarkable. He hit seven home runs in 178 plate appearances as a rookie last year and is already up to nine in 144 plate appearances in 2025.

Carter went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over Detroit.

Carter stole his first base since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock last week. In six games for Texas, he's batting .273 (6-for-22) with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored. He should continue to get regular starts in center field against right-handers.

Yarbrough (1-0) got the win Sunday against the Athletics, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings.

Yarbrough made it once through the order without any damage, but the Athletics tacked on a run in the fourth on a trio of base hits before JJ Bleday led off the fifth with a solo blast to right field. Yarbrough's day ended at 67 pitches, and it was his first time reaching five innings in an outing since Aug. 22 of 2024. Yarbrough's next appearance may be back out of the bullpen, as the Yankees could go back to a four-man rotation this week if they choose. The 33-year-old lefty now owns a 3.70 ERA, 1.27 WHIP an 20:10 K:BB in 24.1 innings this year.

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.

Higashioka (ribs) played five innings at catcher and went 1-for-3 with a double in a rehab game with Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Higashioka began a rehab assignment this weekend at Round Rock, initially getting five at-bats as the designated hitter Saturday before making his first start behind the plate Sunday. He'll likely come off the Rangers' 10-day injured list at some point during the upcoming week and will supplant Tucker Barnhart as the team's No. 2 catcher.
