Jensen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Twins.

Jensen accounted for most of the Royals' offensive production, blasting a leadoff homer in the first inning before adding a sacrifice fly in the ninth frame. Despite Saturday's productive moments, he's hitting .087 (2-for-23) with 10 strikeouts across six games in June. It has been a lackluster campaign thus far for the 22-year-old, as he's slashing .211/.286/.381 with eight homers, nine doubles, 30 RBI and 25 runs across 60 games while splitting time between catcher and designated hitter.

Crawford (hand) is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Tigers on Sunday.

Crawford will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game while tending to a hand injury that he sustained in Friday's series opener. Colt Emerson will once again start at shortstop while Patrick Wisdom operates at third base.

Muncy (hand) went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, an additional run scored and a walk Saturday with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Muncy continued to mash on his rehab assignment as he completes his recovery from a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand. The 23-year-old is slashing .375/.385/.708 with two homers, two doubles, eight RBI and five runs across six rehab appearances with the Aviators. It shouldn't be long before he's activated and returns to the big-league roster, though it remains to be seen whether Muncy will reclaim his role as the primary third baseman. Zack Gelof has performed well at the hot corner in his absence, though the defensive versatility of both players should provide the A's with multiple avenues to get both of them in the lineup.

Vierling is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Vierling will be on the bench for the series finale after going 0-for-3 in Saturday's loss. The Tigers will start Riley Greene, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter in the outfield from left to right.

Madden tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Mariners. He allowed four hits and struck out three.

The right-hander was able to effectively scatter the four hits and give the Tigers some length after starter Keider Montero allowed four runs in his five innings. Madden began the season in a bulk-relief role and covered 11 total innings in his first two appearances of the year. He's since shifted to more of a traditional long-relief role, which he filled Saturday. No matter how Madden has been deployed, he's been effective with a 2.60 ERA and 9.9 K/9 across 17.1 innings so far, though his fantasy value is capped by his usage.

Sandlin is expected to work as a bulk reliever in Sunday's game in Philadelphia while Tyler Gilbert serves as the White Sox's opening pitcher, Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Since the Philadelphia lineup typically features three high-caliber left-handed hitters in Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh, the White Sox will go with a lefty as their opener for the second straight day. Gilbert will likely cover the first inning or two before Sandlin takes over for what will be his first appearance out of the bullpen. After being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on May 26, Sandlin got the start in his first two big-league games and went 1-1 with an 8.10 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB across 10 innings.

Gilbert will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network reports.

In an effort to counter a Philadelphia offense with three key lefty hitters in Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh, the White Sox will go with a left-handed opener for the second straight day. Gilbert is likely to work the first inning or two before giving way to right-hander David Sandlin, who is set to work in bulk relief after getting the start in his first two MLB appearances.

Moore has been getting starts at third base and second base as well as in left field with Triple-A Salt Lake.

Moore played exclusively at second base over 53 games during his rookie campaign with the Angels in 2025, but he's broadening his defensive portfolio this season. The 23-year-old has yet to get a call-up to the big leagues during the current campaign, but that opportunity may be coming, as he's posted a .933 OPS with four homers, 32 RBI and six stolen bases along with a 40:44 BB:K over 41 games with Salt Lake. The Angels have been giving Nick Madrigal and Donovan Walton time at third base while Yoan Moncada (knee) has been on the shelf, and Wade Meckler has been the primary left fielder since his promotion. If any of those players go into an extended slump, or if the team simply decides it wants to give another player a look amidst another losing season, Moore could be called up for immediate regular playing time.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Neto ended a 10-game power drought when he took Jack Dreyer deep in the ninth inning. Neto is now batting .232 with a .776 OPS, 11 homers, 28 RBI, 43 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, 14 doubles and a triple over 62 games this season. He's gone 13-for-41 (.317) over his last 12 contests.

Kochanowicz (2-5) allowed seven runs (six earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

Kochanowicz didn't make it all the way through the Dodgers' lineup before he was pulled. Things have taken a turn for the worse for the right-hander, who has now allowed 15 runs (14 earned) over 6.2 innings across his last three starts. He's at a 6.05 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 47:36 K:BB through 64 innings across 13 starts this season. Given his recent performance and his team situation, Kochanowicz is best avoided in most fantasy formats. He is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Rays in his next outing, assuming the Angels don't opt to pivot to another option. He allowed three runs on five hits and four walks over 2.1 innings versus the Rays on May 31.
