Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Wednesday's 13-1 win over the Rangers.

Trout missed about three weeks due to a hamstring strain before being reinstated from the injured list Wednesday. He served as the designated hitter in his return to the lineup, and it wouldn't be surprising to see most of his playing time there as he eases back into action without a rehab assignment. The star outfielder is up to 18 homers and 38 RBI on the year, and he's batting .234 with an .874 OPS across 75 contests.

Adell went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, a hit-by-pitch, five RBI and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-1 win over the Rangers.

Adell went deep in the fourth and fifth innings to turn this game into a rout. He has gone 16-for-58 (.276) with three homers and 11 RBI over his last 15 contests. For the season, the outfielder is batting .251 with a .703 OPS, 13 homers, 52 RBI, 42 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases over 92 games while continuing to occupy a starting role.

Urena allowed one hit and five walks while striking out three over four scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Wednesday.

Urena's inefficiency (52 strikes on 90 pitches) ultimately kept him from ending his winless stretch, which is now at three games. However, aside from a seven-run disaster versus the Athletics on June 26, he's largely pitched well despite some control problems. Urena is now at a 2.88 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 78:46 K:BB through 81.1 innings over 17 games (15 starts) during his rookie campaign.

Cecconi took home a no-decision Wednesday against the Twins after tossing 3.2 innings. He gave up three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four.

Cecconi had six straight starts of five innings or more heading Wednesday, but an inefficient fourth inning during which he allowed four hits and a walk resulted in an early hook. The right-hander was quite effective in June with a 1.88 ERA over 28.2 innings, but he's started July on a rough note, giving up eight earned runs on 15 hits across 8.2 frames in his first two starts this month.

Arrighetti (7-5) took the loss against the Nationals on Wednesday, allowing eight runs on seven hits and six walks with two strikeouts over four innings.

Arrighetti opened with two scoreless innings but surrendered eight runs over the next three frames without recording an out in the fifth. He threw just 48 of 94 pitches for strikes and will close out the first half having allowed exactly eight earned runs in two of his past three outings while surrendering at least four runs in five of his past seven. He owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 81:44 K:BB across 82 innings this season and will look to regroup during the upcoming All-Star break.

Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.

Torkelson continued his strong recent stretch of play with his 15th home run of the season. Over his last 10 games, the slugging first baseman is batting .278 with three long balls and 10 RBI. Torkelson's free-swinging approach leaves him susceptible to slumps, but his power gives him plenty of upside, and he should continue to see ample playing time for a Detroit team that's 20th in the majors in runs scored.

Rogers went 2-for-2 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.

The veteran catcher entered the game in the second inning after Dillon Dingler took a foul ball off his right thumb. Rogers responded with just his second home run of the season and first since June 3. X-rays came back negative on Dingler, so it appears that the All-Star avoided a more serious injury, though it wouldn't be surprising to see Rogers pick up a start or two in order to give Dingler some time to recuperate.

Suarez will serve as the Athletics' opening pitcher during Thursday's game against the Tigers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Suarez has posted a 3.67 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 27 innings since joining the Athletics in mid-May, and he's now in line for his first opening assignment with the team. The 28-year-old lefty has maxed out at 3.2 frames in an appearance this season, but he may be limited to an inning or two before turning the ball over to Jack Perkins, who had been lined up to start Thursday but is now likely to pitch in bulk relief.

Martin (9-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out two.

Martin surrendered just one extra-base hit on the evening, but the Boston bats made the most out of their knocks Wednesday. The 29-year-old right-hander was arguably snubbed from being named a first-time All-Star in 2026, but he does have a 6.34 ERA and 1.90 WHIP to go with a concerning 21:17 K:BB across his last 32.2 innings since the beginning of June (seven starts). Despite his recent struggles, Martin enters the All-Star break with what is still a respectable 3.41 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 92:31 K:BB over 100.1 frames.

Aranda went 2-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Yankees.

Aranda provided all of the game's offense, driving in runs in the third, fifth and seventh innings. It was a much-needed performance for the 28-year-old, who entered Wednesday just 5-for-28 without an extra-base hit or RBI through seven July contests. On the year, he's slashing .284/.384/.448 with 13 homers, 61 RBI and 45 runs scored across 388 plate appearances.
