Simply put, Hinds has prodigious power. His homer traveled a ludicrous 458 feet. This came just one day after he hit a 449 ft home run in his debut. Per Sarah Langs, his five extra-base hits are the most by any player since 1901. He’s also the first player in the Statcast Era (since 2015) to hit each of his first two career home runs at least 445 ft. It’s a shame he might be incapable of hitting a single or else he would have had a cycle in this one.

Judge opened the scoring in the ballgame with an RBI single off of Tanner Houck in the top half of the first inning. He then raced around to score on a two-run single off the bat of Gleyber Torres. The 32-year-old superstar is having another absolutely phenomenal season at the plate — slashing a Herculean .314/.446/.684 to go along with 37 homers, 96 RBI and five stolen bases.

After going hitless in his first four at-bats, the dynamic 26-year-old reached on an infield single off of Cooper Criswell in the ninth inning, advanced to second base on a ground ball, stole third and then scored the game’s final run on a sacrifice fly off the bat of DJ LeMahieu. With his 1-for-5 night, Chisholm is now hitting .248/.322/.404 with 13 homers, 50 RBI and 23 stolen bases on the season.

Cabrera smacked a two-run ground-rule double off of Greg Wissert in the eighth inning that increased the Bombers’ lead to 7-2. He also drew a walk in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-4. On the season, the 25-year-old is hitting .246/.292/.354 with six homers, 32 RBI and three swipes in 261 plate appearances.

The 31-year-old southpaw scattered five hits and a walk on the evening. All of the damage done against him came in the fourth inning as Rob Refsnyder and Connor Wong connected on back-to-back solo homers. Aside from that, Rodon was outstanding. He generated an eye-popping 25 swings and misses on the night — 11 on his fastball and nine on his changeup — while posting a strong CSW of 32 percent. Now 11-7 on the season, Rodon will carry a 4.34 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 129/36 K/BB ratio (120 1/3 innings) into Saturday’s start against the Blue Jays.

Wong went back-to-back with teammate Rob Refsnyder off of Carlos Rodon in the fourth inning — with their solo shots accounting for the entirety of the Red Sox’ offense in the ballgame. Manager Alex Cora told reporters prior to Sunday’s game that Wong could start seeing some action at first base or second base following the club’s acquisition of Danny Jansen from the Blue Jays.

Houck also issued four walks on the evening while recording only two strikeouts. The Yankees jumped on him right out of the gate in this one, as Aaron Judge smacked an RBI single and Gleyber Torres added a two-run knock in the opening inning. Houck settled in nicely afterwards though, allowing just an unearned run in the fourth the rest of the way. He got six whiffs on 97 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 20 percent. The 28-year-old hurler will look to bounce back as he brings a 2.79 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 116/33 K/BB ratio (129 innings) into Saturday’s showdown against the Rangers in Arlington.

Flaherty, 28, is in the midst of an amazing resurgence with the Tigers this season and looks increasingly likely to be dealt prior to the trade deadline as he’ll be a free agent at season’s end. With many teams interested, the Tigers should be able to demand a king’s ransom for their prized right-hander.

The 26-year-old outfielder wanted to express his frustration after striking out in the first inning on Sunday and angrily threw a towel against a training kit in the dugout. The training kit fought back though as Doyle hit his finger against it in the incident and suffered a contusion. He stayed in the game another inning but ultimately realized that he couldn’t grip a bat or a baseball which is why he was removed. It doesn’t sound like a long-term thing, so Doyle should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

The versatile 29-year-old has yet to make his 2024 season debut due to a wide array of injuries, but that hasn’t stopped teams from inquiring on his availability. Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire, so expect interest in Edman to heat up in the coming days.

The 28-year-old hurler has been working as a long man out of the Braves’ bullpen, compiling a 2.70 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and a 21/5 K/BB ratio over 23 1/3 innings of work. He threw just 52 pitches his last time out, which means it’s probably tough to expect more than 70 out of him on Monday — making it highly unlikely that he’ll go deep enough to earn a victory against the Brewers. For that reason, he makes little sense as a streaming option.
