Freeman went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Mets.

Freeman has emerged as the Rockies' primary right fielder and has started nine of the last 10 games overall. He has at least one hit in his last eight starts, going 12-for-25 with five runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base.

Ritter went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday against the Mets.

Ritter was recalled to make his big-league debut Friday with Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) sidelined. Ritter started all three games across the team's weekend series against the Mets and had a hit in each contest. He also collected the first RBI of his career Sunday on an infield single in the ninth inning. However, Ritter has also struck out four times in 12 at-bats.

Ashcraft (1-0) allowed one hit and two walks with no strikeouts across 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday against the Phillies.

This marked Ashcraft's fourth appearance in the majors and came in a high-leverage spot. He relieved Paul Skenes in the eighth inning of a 1-1 game, and he remained in for the ninth after the Pirates took the lead. One of the walks was intentional, but this still wasn't one of Ashcraft's more dominant appearances, as he failed to generate a swinging strike and also allowed some hard contact. Despite that, he managed to earn the first win of his big-league career.

Roupp (4-4) picked up the win Sunday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

Roupp notched his fourth quality start in his last five outings, but he allowed three earned runs for the first time since April 30. The 26-year-old tied his season low in strikeouts Sunday. In his last five starts, Roupp owns a 2-1 record with a 1.27 ERA and a 21:10 K:BB across 28.1 innings. He'll look to keep the ball rolling in his next start, which is expected to come against the Dodgers.

Doval picked up the save Sunday against Atlanta, allowing one hit and no walks with two strikeouts over a scoreless ninth inning.

Doval surrendered two runs in a blown save against the Padres on Tuesday, but he's bounced back with three consecutive scoreless outings, accumulating six strikeouts during that stretch. The 27-year-old has cashed in on nine of his 12 save chances this season and owns a 1.50 ERA across 30 innings.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-2 with a sacrifice fly, a two-run double and a run scored during Sunday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.

Yastrzemski took part in all four of the Giants' runs Sunday and helped his team overcome a 3-1 deficit in the fourth inning. He plated Matt Chapman and Wilmer Flores with a game-tying, two-run double and then came around to score on a fielding error by Ozzie Albies later in the frame. Yastrzemski came into the contest with merely one hit and seven strikeouts in his last 25 at-bats. He's slashing .232/.329/.369 with five home runs and five stolen bases this season.

Strider (0-5) took the loss Sunday against San Francisco, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and three walks across six innings. He struck out five.

Strider has taken a loss in all five of his appearances this season, but Sunday's outing marked his first time completing six innings this year. The 26-year-old hasn't been consistently healthy since 2023, but he's now made four straight turns through Atlanta's rotation. He's still finding his footing though, owning a 5.85 ERA and a 19:10 K:BB over 20 innings. Fresh off a quality start, Strider is on track for a matchup with the lowly Rockies next weekend.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run double and an RBI fielder's choice during Sunday's 4-3 loss to San Francisco.

Olson notched his second three-RBI game of the campaign Sunday and has logged a hit in nine of his last 11 appearances. The first baseman is 10-for-40 (.250) with eight RBI, seven runs scored and a 7:9 BB:K during that span. On the year, Olson is slashing .236/.342/.460 with 13 long balls.

Burns is being promoted to Triple-A Louisville.

Burns will make the jump to Triple-A after posting an impressive 1.29 ERA and 0.71 WHIP with 55 strikeouts over 42 innings in eight starts with Double-A Chattanooga. The right-hander is not only one of the top prospects in the Reds' farm system, but one of the top prospects in all of baseball. It seems likely that Burns will make his major-league debut this summer, but he'll have to prove himself at one final level before doing so.

Kemp went 0-for-2 with a walk and was caught stealing in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates.

Kemp has started at third base in both of the Phillies' games since he was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, but he's still looking for his first MLB hit, having gone 0-for-5 with three strikeouts between those two contests. With Alec Bohm shifting over to first base after Bryce Harper (wrist) was placed on the injured list, Kemp could have an opportunity to play regularly while he's up with the big club, though he may have to fend off Edmundo Sosa for playing time in the infield. The 25-year-old Kemp posted a 1.010 OPS and 11 steals in 58 games for Lehigh Valley this season and had an .881 OPS in 123 games across four levels of the minors in 2024, though he's been old for his level throughout his minor-league career.
