Caballero went 1-for-4 with a stolen base a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Caballero has collected four steals on five attempts over his last nine games despite batting a meager .167 (5-for-30) in that span. The infielder is hitting .252 with a .708 OPS, 19 steals, eight home runs, 28 RBI, 32 runs scored and 10 doubles over 71 contests this season. Caballero is seeing steady time in a utility role this month, though it helps that the Yankees have faced left-handed starting pitchers in five of their last seven games.

Rodon allowed two unearned runs on one hit and four walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision Sunday versus the Red Sox.

Rodon didn't have the best control, though it was Oswaldo Cabrera's fielding error in the fourth inning that allowed the Red Sox to scrape together a pair of runs. Rodon has mostly been steady throughout the season, allowing no more than three runs in any of his nine starts. He's posted a 3.30 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 52:26 K:BB across 46.1 innings. The veteran southpaw is projected to make his next start at home versus the Twins.

Gomez picked up the save Sunday against the Rockies. He pitched a perfect inning without recording a strikeout.

Following an Anthony Banda hit-by-pitch to open the ninth inning, Gomez entered and retired the side without any trouble to secure his eighth save of the season. The right-hander has been stellar of late, not allowing a hit across 6.1 scoreless innings over his past six outings while recording three saves during that stretch. The 26-year-old has been great since joining the Twins on May 6, posting a 1.25 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB with seven saves across 21.2 innings for Minnesota while emerging as the club's top option in the ninth inning.

Durbin went 1-for-4 with two RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

Durbin opened the scoring with a two-run single in the fourth inning. He has gone 17-for-39 (.436) over his last 11 games, a span that includes three home runs, eight RBI and four steals. The third baseman is now batting .230 with a .664 OPS, six homers, nine steals, 34 RBI, 30 runs scored, 17 doubles and a triple over 75 contests this season.

Chapman allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and a walk while striking out two over one inning to take a blown save in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

Chapman continued a rough patch of performances. He's now allowed six runs (five earned) over his last five innings, a span that includes both of his blown saves and two of his three losses this season. He was able to avoid the loss Sunday, as the Red Sox went on to win in 10 innings. Despite the recent hiccups, Chapman still has a 2.19 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB across 24.2 innings while converting 16 of 18 save chances this season. He doesn't appear to be at risk of losing the closing job yet, though he has pitched three of the last four days and may be due a rest day soon.

Gray allowed one hit and one walk while striking out nine over 7.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Sunday.

Gray was pulled after giving up a one-out single to Amed Rosario in the eighth inning to end the no-hit bid. Gray threw 64 of 97 pitches for strikes in this dominant outing, which was also his sixth straight quality start. In that span, the right-hander has given up just nine runs with a 41:10 K:BB over 39.2 innings. He's at a 2.69 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 75:21 K:BB through 83.2 innings over 15 starts this season. His last strikeout in this start was also the 2,000th of his career. Gray's next start is projected to be a favorable road matchup against the Angels.

Prielipp did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out 10.

Prielipp brought his best swing-and-miss stuff, generating 20 whiffs while recording a season-high 10 strikeouts. In addition, Sunday marked the southpaw's first outing without issuing a walk since his debut April 22, though he did hit two batters. The 25-year-old has cooled off since a blazing start to his big-league career, but his performance against the Rockies was an encouraging step in the right direction. Overall, Prielipp owns a 2-5 record with a 4.96 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 65:23 K:BB across 61.2 innings (12 starts). He'll look to build on it his next time out, tentatively scheduled for Saturday on the road against the Yankees.

Triple-A Durham placed Vernon (elbow) on its full-season injured list Friday.

The Rays initially shut Vernon down due to right elbow soreness back during spring training. The right-hander then went on a minor-league rehab assignment in May, making five appearances as a reliever, before going back on the shelf for good. His 2026 season ends with a 1.42 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB across 6.1 innings in the Florida Complex League and for High-A Bowling Green.

The Mariners acquired Kennedy from the Giants on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations.

San Francisco designated Kennedy for assignment earlier in the day, but the Giants didn't have to wait long to find a trade partner. The 27-year-old Kennedy played sparingly during his four-week stint in the majors with San Francisco, going 0-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts over seven contests. Kennedy has no minor-league options remaining, so the Mariners will need to open up a spot for him on the 26-man active roster. He'll serve as a depth piece in the infield and outfield and could make occasional starts against left-handed pitching.

Williamson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Williamson took Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly yard in the sixth inning Sunday. The 25-year-old has seen sporadic playing time across Tampa Bay's infield in 2026, slashing an uninspiring .236/.307/.328 with two homers, 20 RBI, five stolen bases and 24 runs scored over 193 plate appearances in a part-time role.
