Dingler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.

Dingler's solo shot and a three-run home run from Parker Meadows both came in the fourth inning, giving Detroit all the offense it would need in the victory. Dingler is now up to seven long balls for the year after coming into 2025 with just one career MLB home run. The catcher is enjoying a breakout campaign with a .283 batting average and .768 OPS through 53 games, and he's squarely moved past Jake Rogers as the team's top option behind the plate.

Meadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.

Meadows hit his first home run of the season in the fourth inning with two runners on, and it ended up being the difference in the contest. The young outfielder has now played 10 games since returning from the injured list and is batting just .171, though the team seems committed to letting him work off the rust. Meadows batted ninth Thursday as Baltimore opened with lefty Keegan Akin but will likely hit leadoff most days against righties, which boosts his fantasy ceiling.

The Angels plan to select Moore's contract Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Moore was selected in the first round by the Angels in 2024 and has risen through their minor-league system quickly. He has excelled at Triple-A Salt Lake in 2025, slashing .350/.424/.575 across 92 plate appearances. Moore figures to start every day at second base and hit in a prominent spot in the lineup.

Ragans will get a second opinion on his shoulder injury next week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

After landing on the injured list Wednesday, Ragans underwent initial imaging on his left shoulder that confirmed a strain. The Royals believe that he will avoid surgery for the time being, though manager Matt Quatraro admitted that nothing will be conclusive until further testing occurs. There is no timeline for Ragans' return, but he will almost certainly be sidelined for longer than the minimum 15 days.

LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Royals.

It's a regular day of rest for LeMahieu, who had started the previous five tilts and reached base six times in the first two games of the series. Pablo Reyes is at second base and batting eighth as the Yankees try to complete the sweep.

Chisholm (groin) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.

It's not a surprise that Chisholm is sitting out Thursday's series finale after he had to exit Wednesday's game with left groin tightness. The positive news is Chisholm has not been placed on the 10-day injured list and is considered day-to-day at this time. Oswald Peraza will pick up a start at third base for the Yankees.

Judge is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Kansas City.

It's the first day off this season for Judge, who has homered four times over his last three contests. Cody Bellinger will patrol right field Thursday as the Yankees try to complete the sweep.

Carter went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two total RBI, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 16-3 win over the Twins.

Carter has been red hot at the plate of late, logging four straight multi-hit games -- he's gone 10-for-16 with three homers, five extra-base hits and a pair of stolen bases while striking out just once in that span. The 22-year-old outfielder has boosted his slash line to .293/.369/.534 through 65 plate appearances this season with four homers, 10 RBI, 12 runs scored and five stolen bases.

Burger went 3-for-6 with a solo home run, three total RBI and an additional run scored in Thursday's 16-3 win over Minnesota.

Burger put the Rangers ahead for good with a solo shot off Bailey Ober in the second inning, his 10th homer of the year, before adding a pair of RBI singles later in the contest. The 29-year-old Burger has gone 7-for-20 (.350) with a pair of homers in his last four games, boosting his slash line to .225/.255/.421 with 28 RBI and 27 runs scored through 220 plate appearances this season.

Walter is slated to start Sunday's game against the Twins in Houston, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

As expected, Walter will receive a second straight turn through Houston's six-man rotation while the Astros remain short on healthy arms with six starting pitchers currently residing on the injured list. Only one of those six injured pitchers (J.P. France) has resumed facing hitters at this point, so Walter could be in store for an extended run in the rotation. He's pitched well in both of his two starts with Houston this season, striking out five over five shutout innings May 20 at Tampa Bay and recording another five strikeouts over six innings of two-run ball this past Sunday in Cleveland. The 28-year-old southpaw has enjoyed a similar level of success at Triple-A Sugar Land, where he compiled a 2.08 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 49:7 K:BB in 47.2 innings prior to getting called up last week.
