Bichette went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

Bichette has racked up five multi-hit efforts over his last 11 games, a span that includes both of his homers as well as four doubles and five RBI. The shortstop started the Blue Jays' comeback effort Saturday with a two-run homer in the fifth inning. He's batting .287 with a .732 OPS, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases across 39 contests this season.

Ryan (3-2) earned the win over San Francisco on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.

Ryan was originally slated to start Thursday against Baltimore, but he had to be pushed back due to an illness. The ailment may have contributed to Ryan being lifted after just 76 pitches Saturday -- he was shown laying on the dugout floor between innings, so he clearly wasn't 100 percent -- but it didn't affect his effectiveness. The right-hander induced 12 whiffs, fanned seven batters and gave up just one run -- on a Heliot Ramos homer -- while notching his third straight quality start. Over that three-game span, Ryan has given up just two runs over 19 innings while posting a 26:2 K:BB. On the season, he has a 2.74 ERA, 0.83 WHIP (third-best among qualified pitchers) and sterling 54:5 K:BB over 46 frames.

Hoffman struck out three in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

Hoffman picked up his second save in as many days with this effort. He needed 17 pitches (11 strikes) to get the job done, but it was another encouraging outing after his struggles earlier in the week versus the Angels that saw him surrender six runs in two appearances. The closer is up to nine saves in 10 chances while pitching to a 3.79 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 30:3 K:BB across 19 innings this season. Since he's pitched four of the last five days, Hoffman may not be available for any potential save chances in Sunday's getaway day game.

Francis allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Francis earned his third quality start of the season with this effort, which saw him throw 59 of 89 pitches for strikes. He had allowed 11 runs across his previous 7.1 innings before finding some success in Seattle. He's now at a 5.40 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB across 61.2 innings over eight starts this season. Francis is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Tigers.

Stephenson (elbow) progressed to facing live hitters Saturday, per MLB.com.

Stephenson had Tommy John surgery last May and is just over a year removed from the procedure. The veteran reliever has yet to pitch for the Angels after the team signed him to a three-year deal as a free agent in January of 2024. If he continues to progress without any setbacks, Stephenson could be ready to join the big club sometime in June.

Langeliers went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Yankees.

Getting a break from catching duties in the DH spot, the big blow off the bat of Langeliers was a three-run homer in the seventh inning. The 27-year-old tied his season high in hits while setting a new high in RBI, and through 34 games in 2025, Langeliers is slashing .248/.308/.473 with eight home runs, 17 runs and 22 RBI.

Rooker went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Yankees.

Getting the start in right field, the 30-year-old slugger took Carlos Rodon deep in the third inning to give the A's a 4-0 lead, and Rooker his 10th homer of the season. It was his fifth appearance of the season in the outfield, crossing an eligibility threshold in some fantasy formats, but his bat plays at any position. Through 40 games, Rooker is slashing .253/.316/.494 with 22 RBI and 27 runs.

Miller recorded his 11th save of the season in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Yankees, giving up one run on one hit over 1.2 innings while striking out four.

The right-hander took the mound with one out in the eighth inning to protect a 7-6 lead, but after the A's tacked on four insurance runs in the bottom of the frame, Miller may have let his focus slip a bit in the ninth as he gave up a leadoff triple to Trent Grisham. It was still an impressive performance after he blew his last save chance May 3, and through 15.1 innings this season, Miller carries a 4.70 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 30:6 K:BB.

Sears didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Yankees, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

The southpaw did serve up a solo shot to Aaron Judge in the fourth inning but otherwise held a potent New York lineup in check, tossing 50 of 82 pitches for strikes before exiting. Sears has given up two runs or fewer in five straight starts, and through 45 innings on the season he sports a 2.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in San Francisco.

Judge went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 11-7 loss to the A's.

The Sacramento native put on a show for his hometown fans with a pair of solo shots, taking JP Sears deep in the fourth inning before crushing a Justin Sterner fastball 433 feet to straightaway center field in the sixth. Judge now leads the major leagues in homers (14), RBI (37) and OPS (1.258) as he looks to repeat as AL MVP.
