2—Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages leads the MLB with 50 RBIs.

4—The Philadelphia Eagles (6/1/2026) trade WR A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. Brown and current Patriots HC Mike Vrabel were together for three seasons (2019-2021) in Tennessee.
