Casparius (6-1) picked up the win Sunday against Washington, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts over five innings.

Casparius followed Shohei Ohtani for a second consecutive outing and completed five frames for the first time this season. All of the damage against Casparius came with one swing of the bat when Nathaniel Lowe launched a three-run home run in the third inning. In his last three outings, Casparius has allowed six runs with a 6:4 K:BB over 12.2 innings. He's in line to make his next appearance against Kansas City, though he may follow Ohtani again.

Doyle went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Doyle has enjoyed Colorado's return to Coors Field, as he went 3-for-7 with three runs scored and a stolen base across two games in the team's weekend series against Arizona. His surface stats haven't improved significantly of late, though Doyle has managed two stolen bases -- he now has eight on the season -- and nine runs scored across his last 12 starts.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a sacrifice fly during Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Dodgers.

Lowe has been crushing the baseball lately, clubbing four homers in his last six games, including Sunday's three-run shot off Ben Casparius. The first baseman is 16-for-71 (.225) with 12 RBI and eight runs scored over 20 games in June. He's got a .699 OPS on the year.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Phillies.

Lindor homered for a second straight game, following up Saturday's solo shot with a solo homer off Max Lazar in the eighth inning Sunday. Lindor supplied two of the Mets' four hits on the day. Since the start of June, Lindor is 17-for-74 (.230) with four home runs and three stolen bases.

Luzardo (7-3) picked up the win Sunday against the Mets, allowing three hits and one walk over 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Luzardo has endured a roller coaster during the past month, allowing three or fewer runs in three of his six outings, but allowing eight or more runs twice. He was excellent Sunday, notching his first scoreless start since April 4 and picking up his second win in his last three appearances. Luzardo owns a 4.08 ERA and a 104:29 K:BB in 90.1 innings this season. He's tentatively scheduled to face Atlanta next weekend.

Peterson (5-3) took the loss Sunday against Philadelphia, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out four.

Peterson hadn't allowed a home run in his past six starts, but he yielded a pair of round trippers Sunday. Both homers came in the fourth frame on a solo shot from Kyle Schwarber and a three-run homer from Edmundo Sosa. Peterson's loss was his first since May 6. On the year, Peterson owns a 2.98 ERA to go along with a 78:31 K:BB across 90.2 innings.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

Schwarber tagged David Peterson for a solo homer in the fourth inning, marking the slugger's fourth home run in his last 11 outings. During that stretch, Schwarber is 11-for-40 (.275) with nine RBI, 11 runs scored and two strikeouts. On the year, he has the fifth-most homers in baseball.

Oviedo (lat) has progressed to throwing sim games, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Oviedo is at the Pirates' spring training facility for the next step in his recovery. He'll still need to embark on a lengthy rehab assignment before returning, but he is expected to rejoin the big-league rotation at some point after the All-Star break.

Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a walk Sunday against the Rangers.

Reynolds made his return from paternity leave Saturday and was just 1-for-27 across his last eight games entering Sunday's contest. While it was a relatively unremarkable performance, Reynolds did manage his first three-hit game since May 31. Across 59 at-bats in June, Reynolds has only 11 hits with three runs scored, five RBI and one home run.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Rangers.

Hayes delivered RBI singles in the fourth and fifth innings to record just his third multi-RBI performance of the season and first since April 14. He's chipped in three stolen bases across 17 games in June, but his fantasy contributions have otherwise been minimal. Hayes has gone 15-for-59 with one home run, five RBI and six runs scored for the month and has had a very poor year at the plate overall.
