Guerrero went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a walk in Thursday's win over the Angels.

Guerrero extended his hitting streak to 10 games and delivered his third multi-hit effort during the streak. The All-Star first baseman is batting sizzling .359 (14-for-39) with two homers, one double, six RBI and nine runs scored in those 10 contests. Although Guerrero has just four round trippers over 139 at-bats this season, his top-tier 54.2 percent hard-hit rate entering Thursday's action suggests some positive regression could be on the horizon in the power department.

Bassitt (3-2) earned the win Thursday against the Angels after allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.

Bassitt may have given up a season-high five runs Thursday, but that didn't prevent him from throwing at least five innings in his eighth consecutive start to begin the campaign. While the right-hander matched a season worst with eight hits allowed and served up two long balls in his third straight outing, he issued one walk or less for the sixth time already this year. Bassitt will carry a solid 3.35 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 49:8 K:BB over 45.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance at home versus the Rays, who have struggled with a .624 OPS over their 12 road games.

Soriano didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Blue Jays after allowing three runs on eight hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out six.

Soriano notably escaped a bases-loaded jam in the opening frame, but he tied a season high in walks Thursday. The right-hander has been erratic so far in 2025, as he's hurled at least six innings while giving up one run or less on three occasions but failed to make it through six innings while yielding at least three runs in his other five appearances. Soriano will be a risky fantasy play in his next scheduled start against the Padres next week, as he owns a rocky 4.00 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 37:20 K:BB over 45 innings on the campaign.

Martin (hamstring) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Martin was activated from Triple-A St. Paul's 7-day injured list Tuesday but reinjured his hamstring while scoring on a double-steal in his return to the lineup. Martin initially suffered the injury April 10 and missed nearly a month before returning to action.

Caminero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

It was the slugging third baseman's first multi-RBI effort since April 17. Caminero also has just one multi-hit effort in his last 15 outings, but he has consistently occupied a premium spot in Tampa Bay's batting order. It's also worth noting he's thrived at hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field this season, as Caminero is batting .298 with an .891 OPS over 94 at-bats at home while hitting a paltry .122 with a .330 OPS across 41 at-bats on the road.

Fairbanks blew the save Thursday against the Phillies after allowing one unearned run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

Although Fairbanks avoided taking an earned run due to a throwing error on a pickoff attempt earlier in the frame, it was still his first run allowed in his last eight appearances. The right-hander also fell one pitch short of his season high of 29, which could affect his availability for Friday's series opener against the Brewers. Fairbanks is still very much first in line for future save opportunities in the Rays' bullpen, as he sports a strong 1.76 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB while converting eight of his nine save chances across 15.1 innings in 2025.

Pepiot didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Phillies after allowing one run on two hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out three.

While Pepiot did fail to fan more than three in his third straight start, that didn't stop him from holding the Phillies in check. The right-hander gave up a season-low two hits, and he also threw six innings while conceding one run or less for the third time in eight starts this season. Pepiot has just seven punchouts over his past three outings, but he's yielded just four runs and hasn't surrendered a single long ball during this stretch. He'll take a steady 3.86 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 44.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Blue Jays, who have a weak .646 OPS against right-handed pitching through 36 games.

Hicklen went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in an 11-1 win over the Rockies in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

The hits were Hicklen's first as a big leaguer, with this being his 10th game in the majors over parts of three seasons. This was his Tigers debut after he failed to appear in a game during a brief stint in the majors in April. The Tigers are dealing with injuries in the outfield, but it's unclear if Hicklen will get a longer look. He started in center field in the nightcap of Thursday's doubleheader, but that's been where Javier Baez has been playing -- and excelling -- in recent weeks.

Keith went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in an 11-1 win over the Rockies in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

The lefty-hitting Keith was out of the lineup versus southpaw Kyle Freeland in Game 1. In the nightcap, Keith started at second and batted third, giving Gleyber Torres a chance to rest his legs as the designated hitter. Keith is coming around in limited action -- all four of his homers this season have come over his last eight games, a span in which he's 8-for-23 (.348) with eight RBI. The infielder is batting .215 with a .714 OPS, 11 RBI, 17 runs scored and no stolen bases across 35 games this season. He continues to see semi-regular action at first base, second base and designated hitter.

Montero (1-1) allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out two over eight innings to earn the win in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Rockies.

Starters Casey Mize and Montero combined to cover 14 of the 18 innings in the twin bill, with Montero doing an excellent job to preserve the bullpen in the nightcap. He was efficient as well, throwing 66 of 92 pitches for strikes, though Beau Brieske handled the ninth inning of the 11-1 win. Over four major-league starts, Montero has a 4.15 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB across 21.2 innings. While he didn't impress in his first two starts of the season, he's been positive as a spot starter in doubleheaders recently and should be the first man up if there's an opening in the Tigers' rotation. However, it's expected he'll return to Triple-A Toledo after being the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader.
