  • Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Swipes bag in loss

    Arozarena went 2-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.

    Arozarena tied the game with an RBI single in the sixth inning and followed it up by stealing second base. Over his past 10 games, the 30-year-old has hit safely eight times with four multi-hit efforts, five RBI, eight runs scored and a steal. On the season, he's slashing .238/.354/.395 with eight home runs, 33 RBI, 37 runs scored and 15 stolen bases across 350 plate appearances.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Homers again in win

    Seager went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

    Seager gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead in the third inning with a 420-foot homer, marking his first time going deep in consecutive games this season. The shortstop appears to be heating up, hitting safely in six of his past seven contests with three homers, six RBI and six runs scored. While he's slashing a modest .243/.342/.418 with nine long balls, 20 RBI, 25 runs scored and one stolen base across 198 plate appearances, the 31-year-old's track record and .286 xBA point to better days ahead.

  • Kumar Rocker SP | TEX

    Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Logs quality start in no-decision

    Rocker did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Mariners, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with six strikeouts over six innings.

    Rocker threw 67 of 97 pitches for strikes and induced 10 whiffs, falling a two-out single in the sixth inning short of potentially earning his third straight win. The 25-year-old notched his first quality start since April 17 and has now allowed just four earned runs over his past three outings. He'll carry a 6.13 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB across 39.2 innings into a road matchup with the Padres next weekend.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Strikes out nine in no-decision

    Woo did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Rangers, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.

    Woo allowed a homer following a two-out error in the third inning but was otherwise excellent, throwing 61 of 97 pitches for strikes and generating 18 whiffs. The 25-year-old will wrap up June with three consecutive quality starts and has impressively completed at least six frames in all 16 of his outings this season. He'll carry a 2.93 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 96:17 K:BB across 101.1 innings into a favorable matchup versus the Royals next week.

  • Jose Fermin RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Fermin: Returns to majors

    The Angels recalled Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    Fermin has logged 9.1 innings across 10 appearances with the Angels this season, posting a 4.82 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with a 15:5 K:BB and no holds or saves. The righty reliever dealt with a right elbow impingement in May but was activated from a stint on the IL on June 6 and posted a 9:2 K:BB across 5.1 frames with Salt Lake between then and his call-up Saturday. To make room for Fermin on the 26-man roster, veteran reliever Hector Neris was designated for assignment.

  • Romy Gonzalez DH | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Collects three hits

    Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run during Saturday's 15-1 win over Toronto.

    Gonzalez tied a season high with three hits for the third time this year and added to the blowout in the seventh inning, when he took Mason Fluharty deep to center field for a 446-foot, two-run home run. Gonzalez got the start at first base Saturday, but his versatility to play at the keystone and the hot corner should allow him to see at least semi-consistent playing time, especially with Kristian Campbell at Triple-A Worcester.

  • Seth Lugo SP | KC

    Royals' Seth Lugo: Strikes out eight in win

    Lugo (5-5) earned the win against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing four hits and five walks while striking out eight over 5.2 scoreless innings.

    Lugo kept the Dodgers off the board despite issuing a season-high five walks, falling one out shy of his third consecutive quality start. It capped a stellar June for the 35-year-old, who allowed just four earned runs while posting a 31:11 K:BB over five outings. He'll take a 2.74 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 76:28 K:BB across 88.2 innings into a road matchup with the Mariners next week.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Three more hits Saturday

    Holliday went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 11-3 loss to the Rays.

    The 21-year-old continues to tease a breakout. Holliday has banged out multiple hits in four of the last eight games, a stretch in which he's batting .288 (15-for-52) with two homers, two steals, four runs and six RBI. With Jordan Westburg (finger) having trouble staying healthy, Holliday has gotten a chance to settle into a full-time job, and he could be poised for a big second half of the season.

  • Roman Anthony LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Smacks two doubles vs. Toronto

    Anthony went 3-for-6 with two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 15-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Anthony got on base in the second inning on a single before adding doubles in the fifth and eighth. It was the first multi-hit game of his major-league career, and he has gone 7-for-26 (.269) with six runs scored, four doubles and one RBI over his last seven starts.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Sparks offense in win

    India went 4-for-5 with a double, one RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Dodgers.

    India was a thorn in the Dodgers' side all game, scoring in the third, fifth and seventh innings. The 28-year-old has had an uneven stretch over his past 10 games, going hitless five times but also notching three multi-hit efforts. For the season, he's slashing .246/.321/.343 with four home runs, 23 RBI and 32 runs scored across 324 plate appearances.
