Lopez went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Lopez got a rare look at leadoff while Xavier Edwards rested for Sunday's game. Lopez has certainly earned the opportunity to fill in atop the lineup -- he's hit safely in his last 10 games, going 17-for-41 (.415) with 15 RBI in that span. The infielder has lifted his batting average from .230 to .260 during the streak, and he's added a .723 OPS, eight home runs, 40 RBI, 36 runs scored and nine steals over 67 contests this season.

Myers went 0-for-3 with two walks, two stolen bases and one run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Myers ran wild on the Diamondbacks this weekend, logging five steals during the three-game series. His work at the plate has been mediocre lately -- he's 7-for-39 (.179) with five walks and two RBI over his last 12 contests. This is likely just a bit of regression, as he had been hitting over .300 since April 19 after batting just .263 in 44 games in 2024. The outfielder is at a .298/.355/.417 slash line with four home runs, 12 steals, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and eight doubles across 56 contests this season.

Henriquez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Calvin Faucher was brought in to face the top of Arizona's order in the eighth inning and nearly made a disaster of it. He got through the frame, and Henriquez was able to have a much less dramatic ninth for his third save of the year, two of which he's earned in his last five outings. Henriquez has added 11 holds while pitching to a 2.93 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 55:16 K:BB through 40 innings this season. Based on Sunday's usage pattern, Faucher, who has been the closer lately, appears to be set to enter games in the the most high-leverage moments, and that could give Henriquez some chances at ancillary saves. However, Miami is 37-45 on the year, and the team's relievers have combined for just 18 saves, so there may not be a lot of chances to go around.

Quantrill allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Quantrill had a decent outing, throwing 54 of 87 pitches for strikes, but the Marlins' run support didn't show up until the eighth inning. He has gone seven starts without a win, allowing 16 runs (15 earned) over 32 innings in that span. Quantrill hasn't found much opportunity to pitch deep into games, and that will make wins tough to come by. He's at a 5.42 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 56:22 K:BB through 73 innings over 16 starts. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Brewers.

Tidwell is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Brewers at Citi Field.

Tidwell will take over the rotation spot vacated by Griffin Canning, who ruptured his Achilles tendon Thursday and is set to miss the remainder of the season. After he was called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Tidwell was put to work out of the bullpen later that night in the Mets' 9-1 loss to the Pirates, covering 3.1 innings and allowing four earned runs. He'll be ready to go Wednesday on the standard four days' rest, but Tidwell's body of work over a small sample of action in the big leagues won't inspire much confidence in his fantasy prospects. Through three appearances (two starts) with New York this season, Tidwell has turned in a 10.13 ERA, 2.44 WHIP and 7:8 K:BB over 10.2 innings. He'll likely be headed back to Syracuse as soon as Sean Manaea (elbow) is cleared to return from the 60-day injured list.

Montas (0-1) yielded six runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings Sunday, striking out five and taking a loss against Pittsburgh.

Montas stumbled out of the gate Sunday, coughing up five runs in the first inning, all with two outs. He gave up back-to-back homers to Oneil Cruz and Tommy Pham during that frame. Montas allowed another run in the second before ending his outing with two scoreless frames. On the bright side, he racked up 17 whiffs on 86 total pitches, including six with his splitter and five with his fastball, which averaged 95 mph. Montas is lined up for a home matchup against his former team, the Yankees, next weekend.

Mlodzinski (2-5) allowed two hits over 3.2 scoreless innings of relief against the Mets on Sunday. He struck out two and earned the win.

Mlodzinski took on a bulk-relief role in the blowout victory after Mike Burrows and Genesis Cabrera combined to allow one run over 5.1 frames. Mlodzinski threw 35 of 54 pitches for strikes and secured his first win since April 7. Since returning from Triple-A Indianapolis to join the big club's bullpen, he's produced a 3.09 ERA across 11.2 innings. For the year, Mlodzinski owns a 5.08 ERA with a 36:16 K:BB in 51.1 frames.

Lile went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 extra-innings win over the Angels.

Lile extended his hitting streak to eight games, and this was his second multi-hit effort in that span. He hasn't displayed much power during the heater, logging just two extra-base hits (both doubles), but the consistency is a positive. The outfielder is now batting .234 with a .649 OPS, one home run, two stolen bases, four RBI and 12 runs scored over 84 plate appearances. He continues to see most of the time in right field versus right-handed pitchers while Dylan Crews (oblique) is on the injured list.

Burrows did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win against the Mets. He allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out five over 4.1 innings.

Burrows got the start Sunday on short rest after making a multi-inning relief appearance against Milwaukee on Wednesday. While he did not qualify for the win, he was sharp, with the lone blemish on his outing being Luis Torrens' solo shot in the fifth inning. Burrows dropped his ERA to 4.15 with a 35:10 K:BB through 34.2 innings this season. He's currently slated to start in Seattle next weekend.

Verlander didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the White Sox, allowing one run on five hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out three.

Verlander notched his fifth quality start of the campaign, snapping a streak of three straight starts without pitching into the sixth frame. The only damage against Verlander came in the first inning, when Andrew Benintendi plated Mike Tauchman on a sacrifice fly. The 42-year-old righty owns a decent 4.26 ERA to pair with a 55:25 K:BB over 67.2 innings this season. However, he's the only pitcher in baseball with at least 10 starts who doesn't have a win.
