  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Trio of hits in loss

    Garcia went 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 loss against the Tigers.

    Garcia reached base in all four plate appearances Sunday, tallying his fourth three-hit performance of the campaign. Following a breakout 2025 season in which he posted an .800 OPS, the third baseman has continued to produce in 2026. Through 39 games, the 26-year-old is slashing .285/.353/.437 with 12 doubles, a triple, three homers, 16 RBI, 21 runs and four stolen bases while operating exclusively out of the leadoff spot.

    Tigers' Matt Vierling: Plates two runs in win

    Vierling went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 victory over Kansas City.

    Vierling's lone hit was an impactful one, as he laced a two-out, two-RBI double off the wall in the second inning, advancing to third base on a Kyle Isbel error. Over the past seven games, Vierling has tallied four extra-base hits. His season numbers remain pedestrian, however, as he is slashing .217/.282/.380 with two homers, 17 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base across 33 games.

  • Gage Workman 3B | SD

    Tigers' Gage Workman: Blasts pinch-hit homer

    Workman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Royals.

    Workman came off the bench to make his Tigers debut and wasted no time making an impact, crushing a two-run homer to give his club the lead in the sixth inning. The Arizona State product posted a 1.003 OPS with four homers, 28 RBI and 12 stolen bases across 35 games with Triple-A Toledo before being called up prior to Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old has primarily worked in the infield but also has some outfield experience that could help him earn playing time with Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) on the injured list.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Tigers' Kenley Jansen: Secures seventh save

    Jansen picked up the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Royals. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out two over a perfect inning.

    Jansen entered with a three-run cushion and made quick work of the Royals, retiring the side in order to secure his seventh save of the season. Sunday marked the 38-year-old's first save since April 22, his first multi-strikeout outing since March 27 and just his second appearance of May. Overall, the right-hander has been up and down in 2026, posting a 4.82 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with a 12:5 K:BB across 9.1 innings.

  • Noah Cameron SP | KC

    Royals' Noah Cameron: Lasts four frames in no-decision

    Cameron did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over four innings against Detroit. He struck out four.

    Cameron returned to the mound after being scratched from his previous start Tuesday due to back tightness. The southpaw wasn't overly effective, surrendering three runs in the third inning and lasting just four frames overall. After posting a 2.99 ERA across 138.1 innings (24 starts) as a rookie in 2025, Cameron has struggled to replicate that success in 2026. Through 35.2 innings (seven starts), the 25-year-old owns a 2-2 record, 5.55 ERA and 1.65 WHIP with a 32:14 K:BB. He is tentatively next scheduled to pitch Saturday against St. Louis.

  • Tigers' Enmanuel De Jesus: Earns win in relief Sunday

    De Jesus (2-0) earned the win Sunday against the Royals. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out one over 2.1 perfect innings.

    De Jesus was the fourth arm called upon in the Tigers' bullpen game and retired all seven batters he faced en route to earning the win. The southpaw's overall numbers -- a 6.43 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB across 14 innings -- remain rough, though he has now turned in back-to-back scoreless outings. Much of the damage to his season line came during a disastrous appearance against the Brewers on April 21, when the 29-year-old allowed seven runs (five earned) across 1.1 innings.

  • Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Sharp in first rehab start

    Rodriguez (shoulder) tossed 4.2 innings in a rehab start with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out 11 batters.

    Though Rodriguez was pulled before the end of the fifth frame, he took on a hefty workload of 94 pitches. The righty's pitch count was inflated in part because opposing batters had a hard time putting the ball in play. Rodriguez did hit a batter and uncork a wild pitch in addition to his two walks, but he was mostly sharp, throwing 63 strikes. Given his strong outing and his ability to approach 100 pitches, Rodriguez may not need many more rehab appearances before he's ready to join the Angels' rotation.

  • Jacob Latz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob Latz: Locks down six-out save

    Latz secured the save Sunday against the Cubs, throwing two clean innings. He struck out one.

    Latz continues to cement himself as the favorite for saves with the Rangers. The 30-year-old left-hander has successfully converted all four of his save opportunities in 2026, also turning in nine consecutive scoreless outings. Overall, Latz owns a tidy 0.87 ERA, 0.44 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB over 20.2 innings so far.

  • Jacob deGrom SP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Vintage performance in third win

    DeGrom (3-2) notched the win Sunday against the Cubs, allowing no runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out 10.

    On the heels of giving up a season-worst six runs in his last appearance versus the Yankees, deGrom bounced back in a big way with his longest outing of the season against the red-hot Cubs on Sunday. The 37-year-old right-hander delivered a vintage showing, generating a staggering 23 whiffs en route to matching a season high in punchouts. DeGrom will bring an outstanding 2.62 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 57:8 K:BB over 44.2 innings into his next scheduled start versus the division-rival Astros next weekend.

  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Signs of rust in season debut

    Rodon didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Brewers, allowing three runs on two hits and five walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out four.

    Making his season debut, Rodon showed signs of rust following three minor-league rehab appearances. The 33-year-old southpaw tossed just 42 of his 78 pitches for strikes, walking at least five for the 18th time in his career. Rodon will be looking to sharpen his control as he becomes further removed from offseason elbow surgery, and he's set for a favorable matchup against a banged-up Mets lineup next weekend.
