Corbin Carroll RF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Logs four hits in win
Carroll went 4-for-4 with two triples, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 9-1 victory over the Rockies.
Carroll opened the scoring with an RBI triple in the first inning before adding another run-scoring triple in the sixth frame as part of his first four-hit effort of the season. The right fielder owns a 12-game hitting streak and has been phenomenal in May with a .992 OPS across 21 games. The 25-year-old has been locked in at the plate all season, slashing .301/.399/.580 with seven homers, 12 doubles, eight triples, 28 RBI, 34 runs and six stolen bases through 49 contests.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Stays hot in Sunday's win
Marte went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 9-1 victory over the Rockies.
Marte led the game off with a double before adding a two-RBI two-bagger in the second inning as part of a three-hit effort. The switch-hitter has been scorching hot at the plate of late, going 15-for-28 (.536) with three homers, four doubles, 12 RBI and 11 runs over the past seven games. The recent surge has pushed the second baseman's overall numbers in the right direction, as Marte is slashing .262/.316/.456 with 20 extra-base hits (eight homers), 27 RBI and 32 runs across 49 games.

Ryne Nelson SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Lasts eight innings in second win
Nelson (2-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on six hits and three walks over eight innings against the Rockies. He struck out three.
Nelson was locked in and efficient, holding the Rockies to just one run while completing eight innings for the first time in his career. The right-hander has logged seven-plus innings in each of his past three starts and owns a 2.36 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB across 34.1 innings (five starts) in May. He'll look to stay in the win column next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Mariners.

Fernando Tatis Jr. RF | SD
Padres' Fernando Tatis: Tallies three hits in loss
Tatis went 3-for-5 with a double in Sunday's loss to the Athletics.
Tatis logged a trio of hits, though he was thrown out attempting to stretch a single into a double in the third inning, while his fifth-inning double was squandered after Ty France was cut down at home plate, with both instances ending the inning. Nonetheless, it was a step in the right direction for Tatis, who has gone 9-for-27 (.333) with an RBI, four runs and three walks across the past seven contests. He's still searching for his first homer of the year, as the 27-year-old is slashing .247/.326/.289 with six doubles, a triple, 16 RBI, 19 runs and 12 stolen bases across 51 games.

Ty France 1B | SD
Padres' Ty France: Goes yard in Sunday's loss
France went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Athletics.
France blasted an opposite-field solo shot in the seventh inning to cut into the deficit, though the Padres were unable to rally for a victory. Sunday marked France's seventh multi-hit effort across 32 appearances in 2026. He hasn't been a staple of San Diego's everyday lineup, but the veteran infielder has been productive when called upon, slashing .279/.311/.535 with five homers, three doubles, two triples, 16 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base across 90 plate appearances.

Orlando Ribalta RP | WAS
Nationals' Orlando Ribalta: Collects second save of season
Ribalta earned the save in Sunday's 2-1 win over Atlanta, striking out one batter across two-thirds of an inning.
Gus Varland was given the first crack at earning the save but was replaced by Richard Lovelady after the former gave up two singles to open the ninth inning. Lovelady proceeded to give up a run and issue a walk before Ribalta was called in, and the latter proceeded to retire both batters he faced for his second save of the season. Ribalta is unlikely to see many more save chances, as those opportunities have tended go to Varland, Lovelady or Clayton Beeter.

Martin Perez SP | ATL
Braves' Martin Perez: Tough-luck loss vs. Washington
Perez (2-3) took the loss against the Nationals on Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out two across 5.2 innings.
Perez generated only two whiffs in Sunday's start, but he did induce seven groundouts. He limited the Nationals to just one run in his outing, but he was still tagged with the loss due to his Atlanta teammates failing to score until the ninth inning. Perez will bring a 2.70 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 46.2 innings this season into his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend on the road against Cincinnati.

James Wood RF | WAS
Nationals' James Wood: Logs eighth steal of season
Wood went 0-for-2 with two walks, a steal and a run scored during Washington's 2-1 win over Atlanta on Sunday.
Wood drew a walk and stole second base in the eighth inning before being brought home two batters later on an RBI single by Luis Garcia. It was the eighth steal of the season for Wood, who is on track to surpass his 2025 total of 15 stolen bases. He has reached base safely in nine of his last 10 games, and over that span he has gone 13-for-38 (.342) with one home run, five RBI, nine runs scored and an 8:9 BB:K.

Foster Griffin SP | WAS
Nationals' Foster Griffin: Bounces back against Atlanta
Griffin (6-2) earned the win against Atlanta on Sunday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out six across six scoreless innings.
It was a strong bounce-back performance from Griffin, who gave up 14 earned runs over his two starts prior to Sunday's game. He was able to get out of a couple of sticky spots -- including a bases-loaded situation in the fourth inning -- to come away with his fourth quality start of the season. Griffin is up to 60 strikeouts on the season, which is second on the Nationals behind Cade Cavalli (61) and 16th in the National League. Griffin will take a 3.63 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 62 innings into his next start, which is slated for next weekend at home against the Padres.

Michael King SP | SD
Padres' Michael King: Ineffective in third loss
King (4-3) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks over 3.2 innings against the Athletics. He struck out four.
King wasn't at his sharpest, surrendering a leadoff homer to Carlos Cortes and never settling into a rhythm before losing the zone and being lifted in the fourth inning. Sunday's shaky outing came on the heels of a dominant three-start stretch in which King posted a 0.96 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across 18.2 innings. Overall, the right-hander owns a 2.76 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 63:28 K:BB through 62 innings (11 starts) and will look to get back in the win column his next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals.
