Burleson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

Burleson got the Cardinals on the board when he homered off Taj Bradley in the fourth inning. With a homer in five of his last six contests and an active 14-game hitting streak, Burleson is locked in. During the streak, he has gone 19-for-58 (.328) with 10 extra-base hits and 16 RBI. For the season, the slugger is up to 13 homers, 51 RBI, 39 runs scored, 17 doubles and two stolen bases while batting .287 with an .848 OPS through 68 games.

Wetherholt went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

Wetherholt has gone 8-for-26 (.308) over seven games since returning from a brief absence due to groin soreness. The infielder played a big role in the Cardinals' offense Sunday, though it wasn't quite enough. He's now hitting .255 on the year while adding a .761 OPS, 10 homers, 31 RBI, 45 runs scored, seven doubles and seven stolen bases over 65 games.

Abbott did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Diamondbacks, allowing a run on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Abbott was sharp Sunday, with the lone run he allowed coming on a Tommy Troy solo homer in the third inning. Abbott has held opponents to three runs or fewer while going at least five innings in each of his last nine starts, posting a 2.29 ERA in that span (51 innings). Overall, Abbott's ERA is down to 3.95 with a 1.41 WHIP and 58:36 K:BB across 15 starts (79.2 innings) this season. The southpaw is currently lined up to face the Yankees on the road in his next outing.

McGreevy allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two over six innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Sunday.

McGreevy left the game with a lead, but JoJo Romero and George Soriano combined to let it slip away over the seventh and eighth innings. This was McGreevy's third quality start in a row, and he's allowed six runs over 18 innings with an 8:4 K:BB in June. Overall, he has a 2.99 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB through 78.1 innings over 14 starts. McGreevy never really showed much strikeout potential in his developmental years, but he continues to do fairly well at inducing groundballs and limiting walks. His next start is projected to be at Kansas City.

Pratt was removed Sunday from Triple-A Nashville's game against Durham prior to the sixth inning and will be recalled prior to the Brewers' next game Tuesday against the Guardians, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The 21-year-old's eventual promotion to the majors seemed inevitable at some point in 2026, after he signed an eight-year, $50 million extension with Milwaukee in early April. Though Pratt has posted a modest .735 OPS at Triple-A this season, he's been running hot since mid-May, batting .281 with four home runs and six stolen bases while walking at a 10.1 percent clip over his last 25 games with Nashville. Pratt has played exclusively at shortstop since 2024, so the Brewers could have him displace Joey Ortiz (.561 OPS over 170 plate appearances on the season) as their primary option at the position.

Perkins went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Phillies.

Perkins had struggled to find any consistency at the plate in a limited role over two stints in the majors this season. This was his first multi-hit effort of the season, and it also included his first homer, a fourth-inning blast off Philadelphia ace Cristopher Sanchez. Perkins hadn't logged an extra-base hit since April 23 versus the Tigers. On the season, the outfielder is batting just .133 with a .462 OPS, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, four doubles and three stolen bases over 86 plate appearances. The switch hitter will likely continue to play primarily against left-handed pitchers as a platoon partner for either Garrett Mitchell or Sal Frelick in center field or right field, respectively.

Chourio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Phillies.

Chourio took Cristopher Sanchez's fourth pitch of the game out to center field. The power continues to rise for Chourio, who has five homers and nine RBI over his last five contests. He's logged five multi-hit efforts over his last seven games, batting .457 (16-for-35) in that span. For the season, the outfielder is hitting .322 with a .942 OPS, nine homers, 26 RBI, 27 runs scored, 11 doubles and five stolen bases over 35 contests. Chourio often hits second in the order, though he moves up to leadoff against southpaws or when Christian Yelich gets a day off.

Harrison (8-1) allowed three hits and hit one batter while striking out three and walking none over six shutout innings to earn the win over the Phillies on Sunday.

Harrison outdueled Cristopher Sanchez in this contest. It was a strong bounce-back effort after Harrison was tagged for eight runs over 2.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Monday. The southpaw has allowed one run or less in five of his last six starts. For the season, he has a 2.47 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 80:18 K:BB through 65.2 innings over 13 starts. Harrison's next start is projected to be on the road in Atlanta.

Sanchez (8-3) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Brewers.

Sanchez gave up a solo home run to Jackson Chourio in the first inning and a three-run blast to Blake Perkins in the fourth. Sanchez had gone at least seven innings in each of his previous seven starts, and he allowed a total of one homer in that span. Given how well he's performed this season, this is likely to be just a blip on the radar. The southpaw has a 1.82 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 116:19 K:BB over 99 innings through 15 starts on the year. Sanchez will look to bounce back at home versus the Mets in his next start.

The Mets will recall Myers from Triple-A Syracuse to start Monday's game against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has spent the past couple weeks with Syracuse, but he's now set to make just his third big-league start of the season. Myers has primarily worked as a reliever in the majors this season and has posted a 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Myers started in his most recent appearance with Syracuse on Thursday, but since he covered just 2.2 innings and 36 pitches in that outing, he'll likely handle a limited workload for the Mets on Monday.
