Crouse appeared to suffer an injury and departed Thursday's game with Triple-A Salt Lake after throwing four pitches, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Crouse entered the contest in the eighth inning and worked a 1-2 count on the only batter he faced before being pulled. The right-hander went down to a knee while waiting for a trainer to examine him on the mound, then walked off the field in apparent frustration after it was determined that his outing was over. The organization hasn't yet provided an update on Crouse, so it's not clear what caused his early exit Thursday. He logged 25 outings with the Angels last season, posting a 2.84 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 34:17 K:BB over 25.1 innings, but he wasn't able to crack the Opening Day roster this year.

Grisham went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 9-7 win over Arizona.

Grisham doubled in the first inning to plate a run, and he tagged Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly for a two-run blast and his first homer of the year in the third frame. Despite the absence of Giancarlo Stanton (elbows/calf), the 28-year-old Grisham still has just a part-time role in New York's outfield and has taken just 10 at-bats through five outings this season. Grisham is 5-for-10 with a double and four runs scored thus far, though.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-7 win over Arizona.

Chisholm took Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly deep for a two-run shot in the fourth inning, which helped chase the struggling righty from the game. The speedy 27-year-old slugger now has four homers -- tied for third in the majors -- through six games for a fast start to 2025, hitting .292 with eight RBI, six runs scored and one stolen base over 24 at-bats.

Judge went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-7 win over Arizona.

Judge delivered the first blow in Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly's nightmarish evening with a three-run homer in the first inning, and the slugger later singled to drive in another run during the fourth frame. The reigning AL MVP is off to a ridiculous start in 2025, hitting .417 with five long balls, three doubles, 15 RBI and one stolen base through 24 at-bats (six games).

Neto (shoulder) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday during a rehab appearance with Triple-A Salt Lake.

Neto began a rehab stint April 1 and has collected exactly one hit in each of his three games so far. He's gone a collective 3-for-13, and two of his hits (a double and Thursday's homer) have gone for extra bases. Neto hasn't yet played the field, however, as he's started all three of his games at DH. He'll likely need to get in some work on defense before he's ready to join the major-league club.

Weaver picked up the save after not allowing a baserunner in 1.1 innings Thursday against Arizona. He struck out one.

The Yankees got out to a massive 9-3 lead Thursday, but the Diamondbacks made the game interesting with a four-run surge in the seventh inning. That prompted manager Aaron Boone to turn to one of his high-leverage arms, and Weaver locked down his first save of the campaign while pouring in 15 of his 19 pitches for strikes. Although the right-hander is not the team's first option in save situations due to the arrival of Devin Williams (personal), Weaver emerged as a major weapon out of New York's bullpen in the second half of last season and should still see some save chances in 2025.

Carrasco (1-0) picked up the win after allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in 5.1 innings Thursday against the Diamondbacks. He struck out five.

After giving up three runs in two innings of mop-up duty during Saturday's 20-9 rout of Milwaukee, Carrasco was sharper Thursday while being staked to a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Two Alek Thomas groundouts resulted in a pair of runs in the second and fourth innings, and Lourdes Gurriel doubled to plate another during Carrasco's two-run fourth frame. It's unclear how long the veteran right-hander will maintain a rotation spot, with Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) targeting a mid-April return, but Carrasco's next start is currently penciled in for early next week in Detroit.

Pena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Twins.

Pena has only three hits across his first 23 at-bats, though two have been home runs. He's also struck out just three times while walking twice, so more hits should start to fall in.

Walker went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 5-2 win over Minnesota.

Walker had gone just 3-for-24 with no extra-base hits before launching a 402-foot homer off Joe Ryan to lead off the second inning Thursday. The Astros will hope it's the first of many for Walker, who posted an .803 OPS with 26 home runs and 84 RBI in 552 plate appearances with Arizona last season.

Ryan (0-1) took the loss Thursday against the Astros, allowing four runs on five hits across five innings. He struck out six.

Ryan started the day on a high note, striking out the side in the first inning. However, then gave up back-to-back home runs to Christian Walker and Jeremy Pena to start the second before Houston added two more runs in the fourth. The 28-year-old Ryan has allowed five earned runs on 10 hits while striking out 11 through his first 10 innings this season. He'll look to get in the win column in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Kansas City.
