Crews went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Orioles.

Crews smacked a three-run homer in the second inning and added a single in the fourth. While the 23-year-old has provided two home runs and five steals in May, he's gone just 8-for-53 with 17 strikeouts. He's slashing .191/.257/.331 with six long balls, 14 RBI, 23 runs scored and 11 steals across 171 plate appearances this season, and the Nationals appear content to let him work through his growing pains at the plate.

Skenes (3-5) allowed one run on three hits and a walk over eight innings Sunday, striking out nine and taking a loss against the Phillies.

Skenes was in elite form Sunday and completed eight innings for the second time in his MLB career. He didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning and gave up just three singles in the outing. Skenes tossed 71 of 102 pitches for strikes and generated a career-high 22 whiffs, including seven with his fastball that averaged 98.2 mph. Since coughing up five runs against the Cardinals on April 8, he's produced a 2.03 ERA with a 42:13 K:BB over his last seven outings. Skenes has produced a quality start in three of his five losses this season. He'll carry a 2.44 ERA into his next matchup, which is lined up to be at home against the Brewers.

Soroka (1-2) earned the win against the Orioles on Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Soroka took advantage of an early lead, tossing four scoreless innings before allowing three runs across the fifth and sixth frames. The 27-year-old generated 10 whiffs in his longest outing of the season, though he was limited to only 82 pitches. He'll take a 5.95 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 23:4 KBB across 19.2 innings into a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Abrams went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Orioles.

Abrams led off the game with a home run and added another in the second inning. The shortstop has been locked in over his past 10 games, logging five multi-hit performances with eight extra-base hits, four RBI, eight runs scored and a steal. On the season, he's slashing .312/.368/.574 with eight home runs, 18 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 156 plate appearances.

Darvish (elbow) won't pitch during San Diego's three-game series in Toronto that begins Tuesday, Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Darvish made a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A El Paso last Wednesday and allowed two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out four batters over four innings. He threw 51 pitches and averaged 94.5 mph on his fastball, leading to some speculation that the veteran right-hander could make his next start with San Diego, However, Padres manager Mike Shildt confirmed Sunday that Darvish won't return during the three-game series versus the Blue Jays that begins Tuesday, saying, "What I can tell you is he's going to continue to work on throwing and getting some other things taken care of, and he will not be pitching in Toronto." It isn't yet clear when -- or if -- Darvish will make another rehab start with El Paso, but he appears to be nearing activation from the injured list and still seems to be on track to return by the end of May.

Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners.

Tatis gave the Padres a positive start, but his leadoff homer in the first inning was not a sign of things to come against Seattle starter Bryan Woo. Tatis has hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games, going 12-for-45 (.267) with four homers and nine RBI in that span. The outfielder is now at a .304/.375/.561 slash line with 12 homers, 27 RBI, 37 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 44 contests this season. He continues to thrive out of the leadoff spot for the Padres, though he has cooled down just a little compared to his fantastic first month of the season.

Jones (elbow) may have to undergo Tommy John surgery, John Perrotto of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Jones has missed the entirety of the 2025 season to this point while nursing a UCL sprain in his right elbow, and it now appears that he'll require surgery. With the Pirates well out of contention, the move comes as no surprise since there's no reason to take any chances with his health. It's a disappointing turn of events for fantasy managers though, as the right-hander was coming off of a 2024 rookie campaign in which he compiled a 4.14 ERA and 9.8 K/9 over 121.2 innings in 22 starts with Pittsburgh. Jones will now likely be sidelined for not only the remainder of 2025, but likely most, if not all, of the 2026 campaign.

King (4-2) allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out eight over 5.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Mariners.

King ran into trouble in the fourth inning, where he allowed three runs, and the Padres were unable to answer. He had not allowed more than three runs in any of his first nine starts this season. Despite his overall success -- 2.59 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 64:17 K:BB through 55.2 innings, he's completed six innings in just two of his 10 outings so far. His next start is tentatively projected to be at Atlanta. He's already faced Atlanta once this season, allowing three runs over 2.2 innings in his first start of the campaign, but he's had no trouble bouncing back from that humble season debut.

Ramos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

Ramos established both of the Giants' leads in this contest. He hit a solo shot in the first inning and added a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth, which stood as the winning run. This was Ramos' sixth multi-hit effort over his last 11 games, a span in which he has gone 19-for-39 (.487) with three homers and 12 RBI. The outfielder is up to a .293/.360/.494 slash line with eight homers, 24 RBI, 32 runs scored, three stolen bases and 11 doubles across 46 games this season. He continues to hit leadoff versus left-handed pitchers.

Walker struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

This was Walker's third consecutive scoreless inning since his blown save versus the Twins on May 11. The right-hander got through his outing Sunday on a tidy seven pitches (six strikes) to earn his eighth save in 10 chances this season. Walker also has a hold, but he's been less dominant in 2025 than he was in 2024, posting a 5.29 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB over his first 17 innings this year. Walker's unsteady pitching has almost all been since April 20, which has opened the door for Camilo Doval to rejoin the closer conversation for the Giants, which has the ninth inning looking like a two-man committee for now.
