Fairbanks earned the save Sunday in San Diego after pitching a perfect ninth inning. He did not walk nor strike anyone out.

Fairbanks sent the Padres down in order to pick up his third save in the last four days. Sunday capped off a big week for Fairbanks who pitched 3.2 scoreless innings while picking up three saves and a win in four appearances. The 31-year-old owns a 2.38 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB in 11.1 innings.

Littell (1-5) got the win over the Padres on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out a batter in five innings.

Littell limited the Padres to a lot of soft contact and did not allow an extra-base hit. He's now allowed three runs or fewer in three straight starts and Sunday was the first time since his season debut that he did not give up a home run. Littell lowered his ERA to a 5.03 and will look to make it two wins in a row when he faces the Yankees on the road over the weekend.

Simpson went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

Though he's produced just one extra-base hit (a double) through his first 33 big-league plate appearances, Simpson has provided a major spark for the Rays since his promotion from Triple-A Durham thanks to his speed, contact skills and ability to get on base. He's now hit safely in each of his first eight MLB games, slashing .400/.455/.433 with five runs, three RBI and three steals. The Tampa Bay outfield will eventually get more crowded when the likes of Jonny DeLuca (shoulder), Josh Lowe (oblique), Jake Mangum (groin) and Richie Palacios (knee) return from the injured list, but if Simpson continues to thrive against big-league pitching, manager Kevin Cash will have a tough time keeping him out of the lineup.

Wong (finger) went 2-for-4 with an RBI in his first rehab game with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Shelved since early April with a fractured left pinky finger, Wong shouldn't need too many rehab games before being activated from the 10-day injured list. He could be back with the Red Sox at some point later this week.

Guenther tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Orioles. He allowed one hit and struck out three.

After starter Tarik Skubal tossed six scoreless innings, Guenther followed it up with two scoreless frames of his own. It was only the second MLB appearance of the year for the lefty reliever, who was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday and dealt with a back injury earlier in the season. Guenther was effective in 2024 for the Tigers, posting a 0.86 ERA across 21 regular-season innings, and he could see his role grow if he continues to pitch well out of the bullpen.

Torres went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

Torres has been a steady performer in his first season with the Tigers, as he now has at least one hit in 12 of his 16 games played to go along with a .281 batting average. The infielder should continue to bat near the top of Detroit's order and provide reliable fantasy production in the process.

Anthony fouled a ball off his foot while playing for Triple-a Worcester on Friday and didn't play Saturday or Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Anthony appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario, as X-rays retuned negative. The 20-year-old outfielder is due to return to Worcester's lineup during the upcoming week. The foot injury occurred during his first game back in the outfield, after Anthony was limited to designated-hitter duties because of shoulder inflammation. Other than a couple of minor injuries, Anthony has been highly impressive at Worcester and remains a likely candidate to make his MLB debut at some point this season. Through 23 games, he's hitting .313 with a 1.039 OPS, five home runs, five doubles, one triple, 14 RBI and 21 RBI.

Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

Raleigh's first and only hit of the afternoon came in the opening frame with a deep fly to right versus Max Meyer. All three of his RBI over the last week have come from the home run ball. He's batted only .179 over that span, though four of his five hits have gone for extra bases. Raleigh has now jumped back up to a tie with Eugenio Suarez atop the league with 10 home runs and has 17 RBI to go with it.

Crawford went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

Crawford had a deep blast to right-center field in the fifth to extend the Mariners' lead and ultimately give them just enough runs to put away the Marlins. Crawford now has at least a hit in seven straight games and multiple hits four times in his last six contests. He's also hit safely in 13-of-15 games since April 9. For the season, the 30-year-old is slashing .277/.412/.373 with two homers, 12 RBI, 15 runs and an 18:21 BB:K in 104 plate appearances.

Munoz earned the save in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Marlins, tossing a perfect ninth inning while recording a strikeout.

Munoz retired the top of the Marlins' order on nine pitches to pick up his 10th save and move into a tie with Robert Suarez atop the league. Munoz hasn't let up a run all season while sporting an 0.79 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB in 14 innings.
