Trout went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning loss to the Royals.

Trout gave the Angels a fast start with his first-inning blast. The veteran outfielder has cooled off a bit after his power binge in the middle of April -- he's now gone 10 games without a multi-hit effort. While he's batting just .232 on the year, he has a .960 OPS, nine long balls, 20 RBI, 26 runs scored, four stolen bases and four doubles across 28 contests this season. The biggest question with Trout is durability, but he has been in near-vintage form over the first month of 2026.

Collins went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Angels.

Collins has gone 6-for-19 (.316) with four RBI and four walks over his last five games. The outfielder was part of the Royals' comeback effort Sunday, delivering an RBI single in the fifth inning and a solo shot in the seventh. He's hitting a modest .232 with a .679 OPS, two homers, eight RBI, 12 runs scored, one double and no stolen bases on two attempts over 81 plate appearances. Collins is working primarily as the starting left fielder for the Royals this season, though the switch hitter has ceded a little playing time to Lane Thomas against right-handed pitchers.

Thomas went 3-for-6 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Angels.

The Royals trailed for much of the game, but Jac Caglianone forced an extra inning with his homer in the ninth. The Angels took the lead in the 10th, but Thomas replied with his first homer of the year to walk it off. This was also Thomas' first multi-hit effort of the campaign. The outfielder is batting .226 with a .661 OPS, five RBI, six runs scored, two stolen bases and one double across 64 plate appearances. He has worked as a platoon partner for Kyle Isbel in center field, though Thomas also occasionally challenges Isaac Collins for at-bats against right-handers in left field.

Pinango went 1-for-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.

After flying out in his first at-bat, Pinango laced a two-out single off Slade Cecconi in the fourth inning for his first big-league hit. Myles Straw would later pinch hit for PInango in the sixth inning against lefty Tim Herrin. The 23-year-old Pinango got off to a nice start with Triple-A Buffalo this year, slashing .288/.370/.488 with three homers in his first 22 games. He should see regular at-bats against right-handed pitching while Addison Barger (ankle) and Nathan Lukes (hamstring) are sidelined.

Dominguez is expected to be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Dominguez will join the Yankees ahead of the team's three-game series on the road against the Rangers. The outfielder has started the season red-hot at the Triple-A level, producing a .326 average with three home runs, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 92 at-bats in 24 contests. Dominguez will provide New York with an additional option in the outfield due to Giancarlo Stanton (calf) being banged up, and it's possible that Stanton is headed for a stint on the injured list.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Astros.

Judge tagged Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti for his 10th long ball of the season in the sixth inning, his first extra-base hit since April 19.. The superstar outfielder hasn't been hitting for a high average, but he's supplied plenty of pop so far. Judge is slashing .230/.369/.560 with 13 extra-base hits, 18 RBI, 21 walks and five stolen bases over 123 plate appearances.

Carpenter went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a run scored during the Tigers' 8-3 win over the Reds on Sunday.

Carpenter opened Sunday's scoring with a two-run double in the first inning before coming home to score in the seventh on a sacrifice fly from Matt Vierling. Carpenter has logged at least one hit in four of his last five games, and over that span he has gone 5-for-16 (.313) with two home runs, five RBI and three runs scored.

Simpson went 3-for-4 with a steal and a run scored during the Rays' 4-2 win over the Twins on Sunday.

Simpson collected his ninth steal of the season in the third before coming home two batters later on a two-run double from Jonathan Aranda. Simpson is now tied for the third-most steals in the majors behind Jose Caballero and Jose Ramirez (11 each). Simpson has reached base safely in nine consecutive games, and over that span he has gone 10-for-37 (.270) with three walks and two RBI, though all 10 of those hits were singles.

Anthony (back) is starting at DH and batting third Sunday against Baltimore, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Anthony missed the past four games due to a sore back but is evidently feeling well enough to return to the lineup. The 21-year-old had exclusively batted leadoff this season, but he's slotting into the third spot in the order in his return to action. The Red Sox shook up their coaching staff Saturday evening, but it remains to be seen if that will result in any significant changes to the lineup.

DeLauter is not in Cleveland's starting lineup against Toronto on Sunday.

DeLauter started the previous five contests and collected four RBI while going 4-for-20, but he'll hit the bench against lefty Patrick Corbin. David Fry is making a start in right field in DeLauter's stead Sunday.
