Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-2 loss to Atlanta.

Muncy provided the Dodgers' lone runs of the game with his eighth-inning homer. The third baseman had gone 11 contests without a long ball prior to Sunday, a noticeable drop in power compared to how he started the season. He's batting .273 with a .919 OPS, 10 homers, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases across 38 games this year.

Wrobleski (5-1) allowed seven runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven over 8.2 innings to take the loss versus Atlanta on Sunday.

Wrobleski gave a bullpen-saving performance despite struggling at times. Atlanta tagged him for four runs in the second inning, and he also gave up solo home runs to Drake Baldwin and Matt Olson among the three runs he allowed over the last two frames. Prior to Sunday, Wrobleski had allowed just five total runs over his first six outings. He threw 67 of 100 pitches for strikes in this start. The 25-year-old southpaw still has a strong 2.42 ERA with a 0.99 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB across 44.2 innings over seven games (six starts). He's lined up for a more favorable matchup on the road versus the Angels in his next projected start.

Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.

This was Baldwin's 10th homer of the season, three of which have come in May. He's batting .257 (9-for-35) this month, and he's added a 6:11 BB:K over that nine-game sample. Baldwin has cooled off a bit after starting the season at a blistering pace, but he's still providing high-quality performances for a catcher. Overall, he's batting .297 with an .892 OPS, 32 RBI, 35 runs scored and a stolen base across 41 contests. Baldwin could see more time behind the dish if Sean Murphy (finger) misses time after exiting Sunday's game early.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.

Olson is up to five homers over nine games in May, though all of them have been solo shots. The first baseman has a total of 14 homers through 41 contests overall, nearly halfway to his total of 29 from each of the last two regular seasons. He's added 36 RBI, 36 runs scored, 15 doubles, one stolen base and a .296/.377/.654 slash line this year while regularly batting in the heart of the order.

Elder (4-1) allowed a hit and four walks while striking out eight over 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Sunday.

Elder's four walks were a season high, but that was the only negative in this performance. He kept a scoreless line for the third time this season and ended a stretch of three straight no-decisions. The right-hander is now at a 1.81 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 53:20 K:BB across 54.2 innings through nine starts. Elder has walked at least three batters in each of his last three outings, which is something he'll need to keep in check to avoid regression. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Red Sox.

Murphy got an X-ray on his finger following Sunday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Murphy was hurt when he was clipped by a Hyeseong Kim swing in the seventh inning on a play that was deemed catcher interference. The backstop remained in the contest until he was pinch-hit for in the ninth, and Drake Baldwin took over behind the plate in the bottom of that frame. Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said after the contest that he thinks Murphy will be fine, though the skipper didn't share the results of the X-ray.

White was placed in the concussion protocol following Sunday's victory over the Dodgers, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

He made a spectacular catch to rob Max Muncy of an extra-base hit with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth inning, crashing face-first into the padded outfield wall. White temporarily remained in the contest but was then replaced by Mike Yastrzemski in the bottom of the eighth. White will need to gain clearance in order to play in Atlanta's next game, Tuesday versus the Cubs. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, White will be required to go on the 7-day injured list.

Minter (hip/lat) completed a bullpen session Saturday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Minter was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Opening Day while he finished up his recovery from March 2025 surgery on his left lat, and though he experienced no setbacks with that injury once he began pitching in minor-league games in early April, he was pulled off the assignment last week when he experienced left hip discomfort. Given that he's already resumed mound work, Minter seems to be bouncing back nicely from the hip issue. He's expected to throw more bullpen sessions before the Mets consider him for a return to game action, though it's unclear if he'll require another extended minor-league assignment prior to being activated.

Senga (back) completed a bullpen session Sunday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Senga appears to have responded well since receiving an epidural to treat his lumbar spine inflammation, which forced him to the injured list April 28. He was able to start throwing again Wednesday, nine days after receiving the injection. Senga has now taken another step forward by getting back on a mound, but he'll still need to face hitters in live batting practice and then likely complete a minor-league rehab assignment before returning from the 15-day injured list. Senga had posted a 9.00 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in five starts prior to landing on the shelf and may not be assured a rotation spot once he's activated.

Schwarber went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 6-0 win over Colorado.

Schwarber opened the scoring in the first inning with a 432-foot blast off Tomoyuki Sugano before extending the Phillies' lead to 5-0 with another homer in the second, his 16th of the year, tying Aaron Judge for the major-league lead. Schwarber has been on a tear recently, going deep in four straight games. Overall, he's slashing .227/.353/.597 with 28 runs scored and 27 RBI across 183 plate appearances this season.
