Rogers (4-1) earned the win against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing one hit and one walk with five strikeouts over seven scoreless innings.

Rogers was handed a big lead and made the most of it, throwing 65 of 96 pitches for strikes while retiring 14 straight hitters at one point. The 27-year-old has now allowed just three earned runs over four consecutive quality starts in July and has yet to give up more than three earned runs in any of his eight outings this season. He'll carry a 1.49 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB over 48.1 innings into a road test with the Cubs next week.

Henderson went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 18-0 win over the Rockies.

Henderson was a thorn in the Rockies' side all game, highlighted by a two-run double in the Orioles' nine-run seventh inning. In nine games since the All-Star break, the shortstop has gone 9-for-30 with five extra-base hits, seven RBI, four runs scored and a three stolen bases. On the season, he's slashing .281/.350/.459 with 11 home runs, 38 RBI, 53 runs scored and 13 steals across 406 plate appearances.

Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Langeliers smacked a home run for a second straight game, as he took Bennett Sousa deep to left-center field for a solo shot in the sixth. The 27-year-old backstop has been hot at the plate since the All-Star break, logging at least one hit in eight of his nine games and going 14-for-35 (.400) with four home runs and 10 RBI over that span.

Cowser went 1-for-3 with two walks, three runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 18-0 win over the Rockies.

Cowser was a consistent contributor all game, stealing second and scoring in the second inning before crossing the plate again in the sixth and seventh. The 25-year-old is just 6-for-30 since the All-Star break but has swiped three bags during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .217/.278/.404 with eight home runs, 18 RBI, 18 runs scored and six stolen bases across just 180 plate appearances.

Civale did not factor into the decision in Saturday's game against the Cubs, allowing three hits while striking out six across five scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.

Civale did not give up an earned run for a second straight start, limiting the Cubs to three baserunners while generating 10 whiffs, though he was lifted in the sixth despite tossing just 69 pitches (47 strikes). His last two starts have brought down his numbers down to a 3.86 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 63.2 innings this season. Civale is slated to start against the Angels on the road next weekend.

The Yankees acquired Rosario in a trade with Washington on Saturday in exchange for Clayton Beeter and Browm Martinez, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Rosario adds considerable versatility to the Yankees' roster, as he has played third base, second base, shortstop and right field this season. Over 47 games with the Nationals prior to the trade, he slashed .270/.310/.426 with five homers, 18 RBI and one stolen base. Rosario has seen more at-bats against lefties than righties this season and has hit southpaws well throughout his career, so he could be an option to at least occasionally spell the newly acquired Ryan McMahon -- who figures to get most of the starts at the hot corner but has struggled to a .599 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season.

O'Neill went 2-for-2 with a home run, two walks, three RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 18-0 win over the Rockies.

O'Neill reached base in all four plate appearances, highlighted by a two-run homer in the second inning and an RBI single in the seventh. The 30-year-old has now delivered three straight two-hit efforts while homering in consecutive games for the first time this season. He owns a .211/.298/.398 slash with five long balls, 15 RBI, 17 runs scored and two steals across 141 plate appearances.

Mullins went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 18-0 win over the Rockies.

Mullins launched a three-run homer in the fourth inning and added a single in the sixth. According to Jake Rill of MLB.com, he became just the third player in franchise history to reach both 100 career home runs and steals. For the year, the 30-year-old is slashing .219/.297/.409 with 14 long balls, 45 RBI, 39 runs scored and 14 stolen bases across 338 plate appearances. He could be on the move at next week's trade deadline as a potential fit for a contender in need of outfield help.

Baker departed Saturday's contest against the Reds due to a right calf injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays aren't sure at this point if Baker is dealing with a cramp or a strain. If it's the former, Baker could be back in action shortly, but he could be out for longer if he's dealing with a strain. He's set for further evaluation Sunday.

Rodriguez will have right elbow surgery Aug. 8 to address a flexor tendon repair, and his UCL will be evaluated during the surgery to determine if any additional procedures are needed, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

An earlier report indicated Rodriguez will need Tommy John surgery, and while that remains a possibility, the full extent of the reliever's procedure won't be determined until the flexor tendon repair takes place. While Rodriguez is almost certain to miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign regardless, he could pitch in 2026 if Tommy John surgery is not needed. Assuming Rodriguez is indeed done for the current campaign, he'll finish with a 2.08 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB over 30.1 innings spanning 31 appearances while notching 12 holds.
