Ramos went 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI in Sunday's 9-5 win against Boston.

The San Francisco outfielder posted his second four-RBI performance this season, as he laced his 14th double. Ramos secured his first two RBI on a single in the third inning before driving home a pair on a two-bagger in the seventh. The 25-year-old appears bound for his second straight All-Star appearance thanks to a .285/.361/.474 slash line with 13 homers, 48 runs scored and 43 RBI across 322 plate appearances and 76 games.

Pham went 3-for-3 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.

Pham tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning before adding RBI doubles in the fifth and seventh. It was a much-needed performance from the veteran outfielder, who entered Sunday just 2-for-20 over 10 games in June. For the season, he's slashing .209/.289/.247 with no home runs, 12 RBI, 13 runs scored and three steals across 180 plate appearances.

Tucker went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Sunday's 14-6 loss to the Mariners.

Tucker went deep for the second straight day, pushing him to 15 home runs for the season. The talented outfielder's career high in the category is 30, which he accomplished twice while with Houston. Tucker has a chance to surpass that mark in 2025, and his combination of power, contact skills and base stealing has made him an elite fantasy performer with his new team.

Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mets.

The right-handed-hitting Rojas continues to be used in a platoon with the left-handed-hitting Brandon Marsh, but Rojas' opportunities have been scarce of late while the Phillies faced right-handed starting pitchers in each of the previous 11 games. Rojas will draw back into the starting nine on Sunday in place of Marsh while southpaw David Peterson toes the rubber for the Mets.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

The left-handed-hitting Kepler will hit the bench for the first time since June 9, which marks the last time the Phillies faced a left-handed starting pitcher (the Cubs' Matthew Boyd). With southpaw David Peterson toeing the rubber for the Mets in the series finale, Otto Kemp will step in as the Phillies' left fielder in place of Kepler, who went 9-for-39 (.231 average) with three home runs and a 7:7 BB:K during his stretch of 11 consecutive starts.

Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Marsh had started in each of the Phillies' last nine games and batted .333 with four extra-base hits (three doubles, one triple), five runs and three RBI, but Philadelphia faced right-handed starters in each of those contests. The Phillies are still seemingly viewing the left-handed-hitting Marsh as a platoon player, so he'll cede his spot in center field to the right-handed-hitting Johan Rojas on Sunday while southpaw David Peterson takes the hill for the Mets.

Johnson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Johnson had started in three of the last four games for the Padres, but he'll likely be ticketed for a fourth- or fifth-outfielder role after San Diego welcomed Jackson Merrill (concussion) back from the 7-day injured list. Since being called up from Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Johnson has gone 4-for-9 with a double, a stolen base and a run.

Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Hernandez started the previous 13 games and will receive Sunday off after posting a .229/.296/.479 slash line with four homers during that span. Andy Pages will shift to right field while Hyeseong Kim picks up a start in center.

The Padres optioned Lockridge to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Lockridge has been on the big-league roster all season, though he did miss some time due to a hamstring injury. The 28-year-old has a .519 OPS in 95 plate appearances in 2025 and will head to the minors due to Jackson Merrill (concussion) coming back from the 7-day injured list.

Merrill (concussion) was activated from the 7-day injured list and will start in center field and bat second Sunday against the Royals.

The 22-year-old landed on the shelf with a concussion last Sunday and is back on the active roster after missing the minimum amount of time. Merrill was struggling at the plate in June prior to the injury with a .260/.321/.380 slash line and a 28.6 percent strikeout rate in 13 games.
