Tanner Bibee SP | CLE
Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Tagged for six runs in loss
Bibee (1-2) came away with the loss against the Orioles on Thursday. He allowed six runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings.
Bibee was hurt by the long ball Thursday, as three home runs accounted for all six of the runs against him. The right-hander hasn't allowed a run in two of his four starts this season, but in his other two outings he's given up a combined 13 runs (including seven homers) over 9.2 innings. Things won't get easier for Bibee in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against Aaron Judge and the Yankees.

Guardians' Austin Hedges: Belts solo homer
Hedges went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Thursday's 6-2 loss to Cleveland.

Across his six starts this season, Hedges has gone 3-for-15 with five walks, two runs scored and two solo homers. He should continue to see semi-regular starts as Cleveland's No. 2 backstop.

Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Productive start continues in win
Garcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's win over the Angels.
After plating a run on a sacrifice fly in the first frame, Garcia launched a 382-foot shot into left-center field to give Texas a 4-1 lead in the third inning. He also struck out twice and has been punched out multiple times in three of the past four games. While the slugging outfielder is batting just .226 over his first 62 at-bats of the year, Garcia has remained productive by piling up three homers, five doubles, seven RBI and four stolen bases through 19 outings.

Angels' Luis Rengifo: Quiet start in 2025
Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in Thursday's loss to the Rangers.
Rengifo singled on a line drive to plate a pair of runs in the fifth inning Thursday and now has a hit in six of his past seven games. The veteran infielder entered the season with a .754 OPS across the previous three years, but he's struggled to get his bat going early in 2025. Through 66 at-bats (18 games), Rengifo is hitting .242 with one home run, five doubles, seven RBI and eight runs scored.

Tomoyuki Sugano SP | COL
Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Goes seven innings in win
Sugano (2-1) earned the win against the Guardians on Thursday. He allowed two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out three across seven innings.
It was a strong overall performance for Sugano, who faced the minimum number of batters in five of seven innings. The third frame was his only blemish on the day, when he gave up back-to-back solo homers to Daniel Schneemann and Austin Hedges. It was Sugano's first quality start of 2025, and he's opened the season with a 3.43 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 21 innings

Caminero belted his fifth long ball of the young season in the third inning, pushing the Rays in front 3-1.

Kjerstad extended the Orioles' lead to four runs in the sixth inning, when he smacked an 80-mph changeup from Tanner Bibee deep to center field for a two-run home run. It was the third time Kjerstad has tallied two RBI in his last five games, and he has two long balls over that span.

Richard Palacios 2B | TB
Rays' Richie Palacios: Big impact in season debut
Palacios went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.
Fresh off the injured list and making his season debut, Palacios doubled in his first at-bat of the game en route to a three-hit night. With Jonny DeLuca (shoulder) and Josh Lowe (oblique) both sidelined, the lefty-hitting Palacios should see fairly steady reps in the outfield for the near future.
