Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to the Twins.

Arozarena's on-base streak is now up to seven games to continue his strong month. Through 81 at-bats in June, the speedy outfielder is batting .284 with an .805 OPS, one home run, eight doubles, eight RBI and five stolen bases. Arozarena has reached base safely in 17 of 22 outings this month.

Correa went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.

Correa ran his hitting streak up to a modest five games, and he's been hitting well since returning from a concussion. In 112 plate appearances since coming off the IL, the veteran shortstop is slashing .298/.348/.471 with four home runs, six doubles, 11 RBI and 16 runs scored covering 28 outings. Although the RBI count is relatively low during that period, Correa should see plenty of chances to drive in runs as long as he's hitting in the heart of the Twins' order.

Duran picked up the save in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Mariners, throwing a clean ninth inning with one strikeout.

Duran made quick work of Seattle, tossing just nine pitches for his 11th save of the season. It was especially encouraging to see manager Rocco Baldelli turn right back to Duran in a save situation after he gave up a run and hit two batsmen in Tuesday's loss to the Mariners. On the year, the hard-throwing right-hander sports a 1.73 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB while converting 11 of his 13 save chances across 36.1 innings.

Lowe went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Royals.

Although it was a quiet night in the run-producing department, Lowe pushed his hitting streak up to 12 games. The slugging second baseman is slashing .396/.431/.563 during that span, adding two home runs, two doubles, six RBI and 10 runs scored. Dating back to May 13, Lowe has maintained a .340 batting average while tallying at least one hit in 34 of 38 games.

Fairbanks picked up the save in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Royals, throwing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.

The 31-year-old right-hander nailed down his 14th save of the season, also posting his 12th scoreless outing in his last 13 appearances. During that span, he owns a 1.35 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB covering 13.1 frames. Fairbanks has a 7.7 K/9 for the campaign, which would be a career low if it sticks, but he still has a 2.08 ERA and has converted 14 of his 16 save opportunities in 31 appearances.

Guerrero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

Guerrero got the Blue Jays on the board with a solo homer in the fourth inning and later walked and scored again in the sixth. The 26-year-old has hit safely seven times over his last 10 games, collecting seven extra-base hits, 10 RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. For the season, he's slashing .282/.387/.450 with 11 home runs, 40 RBI, 48 runs scored and two steals across 344 plate appearances.

Thomas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesdays' 5-4 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

Thomas tied the game at 4-4 with a home run off Nick Sandlin in the sixth inning. The 29-year-old has now gone deep in back-to-back games and is 11-for-42 with an .830 OPS across 14 June contests. For the season, he's slashing just .178/.248/.277 with three homers, 10 RBI, seven runs scored and three steals over 113 plate appearances.

Williams did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win against the Blue Jays, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks with two strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Williams allowed just one run over his first five innings but was unable to escape the sixth, ultimately being charged with three runs (two earned) in the frame. While the 25-year-old's 20:13 K:BB over five June outings is underwhelming, he has a 2.57 ERA across 28 innings while notching three quality starts during that stretch. He'll carry a 3.68 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 80:45 K:BB across 80.2 innings into a road matchup with the Cubs.

Rasmussen (7-5) tallied the win Wednesday against the Royals, giving up no runs on two hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out five.

Wednesday marked the seventh scoreless start of the year for Rasmussen, who scattered two singles. The 29-year-old right-hander was somewhat curiously pulled after throwing just 62 pitches, his fewest of the season, but it appears the Rays are remaining cautious about his workload after he missed over a year of action across 2023 and 2024 due to elbow surgery. Rasmussen has yet to toss greater than six innings in any of his 16 outings, but he still owns an outstanding 2.45 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 72:20 K:BB across 84.1 frames. His next start is projected to come at home versus the Athletics.

Scherzer did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Guardians, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts over five innings.

Scherzer allowed a run in the first inning and two more in the fourth during his second start of the season, and first since March 29. He threw 55 of 83 pitches for strikes and generated seven whiffs in a solid return to the mound while continuing to manage thumb soreness. The 40-year-old owns a 5.63 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB through eight innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Yankees next week.
