Soto went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Marlins.

Soto put the finishing touches on a rout of the Marlins with a 433-foot grand slam in the sixth inning. He'll finish a red-hot May riding a modest five-game hitting streak while tallying 10 homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and five stolen bases across 26 games during the month. For the year, the slugger is slashing .305/.397/.597 with 13 long balls, 29 RBI, 27 runs scored and five steals across 180 plate appearances.

King (1-1) took the loss against the Mets on Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts over 1.2 innings.

King opened the game and took the loss, as he was charged with two of the 10 runs the Mets scored against the Marlins in a bullpen game. The southpaw owns a 2.52 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB with three holds and one save across 25 innings this season, and Sunday's appearance was likely a one-off while the Marlins sort through their depleted rotation.

McLean (3-4) earned the win against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and five walks with two strikeouts over five innings.

McLean was backed by an offensive outburst from the Mets and managed to complete five frames despite issuing a season-high five walks and hitting a batter. While the result was certainly an improvement over the 13 earned runs he surrendered across his previous two starts, the 24-year-old will still finish May with a 6.10 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in six outings. He'll carry a 4.21 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 77:24 K:BB over 66.1 innings this season into a road matchup against the Padres next weekend.

Realmuto exited Sunday's contest against the Dodgers in the fourth inning after being hit by a pitch on his left hand/wrist, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Realmuto took a 97.1 mph fastball from Yoshinobu Yamamoto off his left hand/wrist in the top of the third inning, ultimately remaining in the game until the bottom of the fourth frame. His ability to stay in the game in any capacity could be a positive sign, but in the meantime, Rafael Marchan has taken over behind the plate versus Los Angeles. More information on the status of Realmuto will likely be provided in the near future.

Acuna went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.

Acuna took Nick Lodolo deep to lead off the game, resulting in him homering in four straight games for the fourth time in his career. It's safe to say the 28-year-old is in a groove, as he's left the yard five times and stolen four bases during that four-game stretch. According to Mike Petraglia of MLB.com, he became just the fourth player in major-league history to accomplish that feat. For the year, the superstar is slashing .253/.380/.441 with seven long balls, 21 RBI, 27 runs scored and 12 steals across 208 plate appearances.

Ashcraft (5-2) earned the win Sunday over Minnesota, allowing two runs on five hits over six innings. He struck out 11.

Ashcraft was mostly dominant Sunday, blanking the Twins through his first five innings before allowing two runs on a Brooks Lee homer in the sixth. He set a season high with 11 strikeouts without issuing a walk. Ashcraft has won three straight while turning in quality starts in five of his last six outings -- he's posted a 1.99 ERA with a stellar 42:5 K:BB across 40.2 innings in that span. Overall, Ashcraft's ERA is down to 2.77 on the year with a 1.03 WHIP and 81 strikeouts across 12 starts (74.2 innings). Ashcraft currently lines up for a tough road matchup with Atlanta his next time out.

Warren will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher for Monday's game versus the Mariners, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Warren will draw the first start of his major-league career, although he will likely be limited to just an inning or two before the Mets turn the game over to the bullpen. Southpaw Sean Manaea is likely to handle a bulk-relief role in the series opener in Seattle.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta.

Suarez drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning before launching a solo shot in the seventh. It was his first homer since returning from the injured list May 23, as he entered the contest mired in a 4-for-22 slump over seven games during that span. For the year, the slugger is slashing .224/.300/.371 with four long balls, 15 RBI and 13 runs scored across just 130 plate appearances.

Beeter picked up the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Padres, working around a hit while striking out one in the ninth inning.

After throwing 22 pitches to earn the save Saturday, Beeter got the call again in the ninth inning a day later, and he got the job done to earn his fourth save this season. Beeter has been sharp of late, turning in six straight scoreless appearances and allowing just three hits in that span (6.1 innings) as he looks to have solidified his standing as Washington's primary closer. His ERA is down to 2.30 through 15.2 innings this season with a 1.21 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB.

Moll earned a one-out save in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta, allowing no hits and one walk with no strikeouts in the ninth inning.

Moll was called on to relieve the struggling Tony Santillan with two men on and two outs in the ninth inning to face lefty Michael Harris. He walked Harris before inducing a game-ending groundout to earn his first save of the season. It was likely just a matchup-driven decision with Santillan reeling, but the 34-year-old Moll has put together a strong campaign, posting a 2.49 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 25.1 innings.
