  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Takes no-decision against Houston

    Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Astros, allowing five runs (three earned) on eight hits and one walk over five-plus innings. He struck out two.

    Hendricks didn't allow a run in the first four innings of Sunday's start, but he got into trouble in the fifth by yielding a pair of homers as part of a four-run frame for the Astros. In his last five outings, Hendricks has allowed 16 runs (13 earned) to go along with a 22:7 K:BB across 28.2 innings. He's slated to face the Nationals in his next start.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Astros' Josh Hader: Hangs on for save

    Hader picked up the save Sunday against the Angels, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts over one inning.

    Hader surrendered a leadoff home run to Zach Neto, then rebounded with back-to-back strikeouts before yielding a double to Nolan Schanuel. Hader managed to avoid the blown save by retiring Mike Trout to end the inning. The veteran closer has allowed a run in three of his last six appearances, but he has yet to be attributed a blown save this season and boasts a 1.83 ERA.

  • Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Goes yard twice

    Dubon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run home run during Sunday's 8-7 win over the Angels.

    Dubon notched his third and fourth home runs in his last five games, bringing his season total up to five long balls. The performance marked Dubon's second-career multi-homer game, with his first coming back in 2023. On the year, Dubon is slashing .255/.297/.421 with 19 runs scored and 18 RBI over 156 plate appearances.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Pair of extra-base hits

    Pena went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and an additional run scored during Sunday's 8-7 win over the Angels.

    Pena tagged Kyle Hendricks for a solo shot in the fifth inning, then plated Luis Guillorme on a double in the sixth. Pena has homered twice in his last three games, and he has 11 long balls on the season. In his last five games, Pena has gone 10-for-23 (.435) with six RBI and four runs.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Clubs three-run home run

    Schanuel went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double and an RBI single during Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Astros.

    Schanuel notched his fifth three-hit game of the campaign, staying red-hot at the plate. The first baseman is 23-for-72 (.319) with three home runs, nine runs scored, 14 RBI and two stolen bases over his last 17 games. He's slashing .283/.372/.412 in 2025.

  • Jake Mangum CF | PIT

    Rays' Jake Mangum: Pair of doubles Sunday

    Mangum went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a run scored Sunday against the Tigers.

    Mangum got a rare day off Saturday but returned to the lineup Sunday. He now has at least one hit in each of his last nine starts, during which he's gone 15-for-40 with four doubles, eight RBI and seven runs scored. Mangum won't provide much power, but he has 10 stolen bases and is hitting .318 across 159 plate appearances for the season.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Sixth homer of June

    Caminero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Tigers.

    Caminero tied the game at 1-1 in the fourth inning to record his 19th home run of the season. He continued his strong run in June, as he has six long balls across 19 games in the month, while also chipping in 13 RBI and 16 runs scored.

  • Willi Castro 2B | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Set to miss at least one more game

    Castro expects to miss at least one or two more games with a sore right wrist, though an X-ray conducted Sunday came back negative, MLB.com reports.

    Castro has dealt with pain in the wrist since Thursday, but it wasn't until Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Brewers that he was forced to miss a game. The super-utility player looks set to remain out of the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Mariners, and he'll be at risk of landing on the injured list if he doesn't show meaningful improvement within the next few days.

  • Richard Fitts SP | STL

    Red Sox's Richard Fitts: Drawing start Wednesday

    The Red Sox list Fitts as their probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Angels in Anaheim.

    As expected, Fitts will slide right into the rotation spot vacated by Hunter Dobbins (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. Fitts owns a 4.71 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB in 21 innings over five starts with the Red Sox this season, though a good chunk of that ratio damage came in a June 2 matchup against the Angels in which he surrendered three home runs in just one inning. After being optioned to Triple-A Worcester following that start, Fitts posted a 5.25 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 12 innings before being recalled Sunday.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Awarded another start

    Rogers is slated to start Monday's game against the Rangers at Camden Yards, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Rogers had a lackluster return to the Baltimore rotation after being called up from Triple-A Norfolk last Wednesday, as he failed to escape the third inning of his start against the Rays while allowing three earned runs on five hits and three walks in a no-decision. Despite the poor showing, Rogers will get at least one more start while the banged-up Orioles are short on alternative options for the rotation. Since none of the six pitchers on the Orioles' injured list have even resumed facing hitters at this point, Rogers will tentatively line up for a two-start week, with his second outing expected to come Sunday versus Tampa Bay.
