Aldegheri (2-3) allowed five runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Orioles on Monday.

Keeping the ball down was a problem. Taylor Ward led off the game with a home run, and Coby Mayo added a three-run blast in the fourth inning that did most of the damage to Aldegheri's line. He's now allowed 11 runs over his last 7.2 innings. On the season, the southpaw has a 5.47 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 16:12 K:BB through 24.2 innings over seven appearances (four starts). Aldegheri is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Athletics.

Henderson went 3-for-4 with an RBI triple, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 6-1 win over the Angels.

This was Henderson's fourth multi-hit effort over his last 10 games. He's gone 12-for-38 (.316) with three homers, seven RBI and a 6:8 BB:K in that span. The star shortstop continues to turn things around in the middle of the season after getting off to a slow start. He's hitting .229 with a .732 OPS on the year, and he's added 16 long balls, 39 RBI, 44 runs scored, six stolen bases, 14 doubles and two triples over 79 contests.

Jackson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-1 win over the Angels.

Jackson has been filling in at second base in the absence of Jackson Holliday (groin) over the last two games. The theft was Jackson's first since April 19 versus the Guardians. The utility man has done fairly well when called upon, batting .255 with a .682 OPS, seven home runs, 32 RBI, 22 runs scored, two steals and eight doubles over 195 plate appearances this season. Jackson could shift over to third base if Blaze Alexander (knee contusion) misses any time after exiting Monday's game early.

Mayo went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-1 win over the Angels.

Mayo went deep in the fourth inning to put the Orioles up 4-0. The infielder has hit five homers over his last 18 games, but he doesn't have a multi-hit effort in that span. For the season, he's batting just .190 with a .636 OPS, 10 homers, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored, seven doubles and a stolen base over 62 contests. He was in the lineup for a fourth straight game, but he'll need to show some extended consistency at the plate to avoid slipping back into a timeshare once the Orioles get some key players back from injuries.

Ward went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 6-1 win over the Angels.

This was Ward's first game back in Anaheim after he was traded to Baltimore last November. He's posted consecutive multi-hit efforts, each including a long ball, after going 12 contests without homering. The outfielder is batting .284 (23-for-81) in June and is up to .258 on the year with a .759 OPS, five homers, 22 RBI, 51 runs scored, 17 doubles and two stolen bases over 79 contests as the Orioles' primary leadoff hitter.

Bradish (5-7) allowed six hits and a walk while striking out nine over eight scoreless innings to earn the win over the Angels on Monday.

Bradish threw 67 of 101 pitches for strikes. It's the second outing in a row where he's set a season high in innings, and he's added a 21:3 K:BB over 15.2 frames in that span. Bradish has had a couple of bumpy stretches in 2026, but he's locked in right now. The right-hander is at a 3.64 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 94:42 K:BB over 89 innings across 16 starts. His next start is expected to be at home in a tough matchup against the high-scoring Nationals.

Alexander exited Monday's game against the Angels early due to a muscle contusion, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Alexander's Monday night was cut short after fouling a ball off his knee which resulted in a knee contusion in the top of the second. When the 27-year-old was on the bench before going out for defense in the bottom of the third, he felt his knee lock up. Leody Taveras replaced Alexander at third base until he was moved to center field in the bottom of the eighth.

Matthews (3-5) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over six innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

Matthews gave up solo homers to Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman but otherwise held Los Angeles scoreless. However, Minnesota's offense managed just one run of support, saddling the right-hander with his fifth loss of the season. Despite the defeat, there were positives to take away from the performance for Matthews, as he notched his second straight quality start (and third over his past four outings) while finishing with his highest strikeout total through four starts in June. Matthews next lines up to take the mound at home against the Rockies.

Latz secured the save Monday against the Marlins, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in 1.1 innings. He struck out two.

After beginning the season as a starter, Latz has since emerged as a multi-inning weapon out of Texas' bullpen. The 30-year-old left-hander has turned in 25 scoreless outings among 29 appearances in 2026, running away with the Rangers' closer job amid his current scoreless streak of 12 frames. Through 37 innings, Latz has a tidy 1.46 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 38:8 K:BB while converting 14 of his 16 save chances.

Rocker took a no-decision Monday against the Marlins, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks in five innings of relief. He struck out nine.

The Rangers have now deployed Rocker behind an opener twice this season, and the results so far have been promising to say the least. The 26-year-old right-hander twirled 7.2 shutout innings the last time he worked as a reliever during his May 19 outing, and he fanned a season-high nine Monday. It would make sense for Texas to use Rocker in long relief out of the bullpen once again this weekend in Toronto, where he'll try to further improve on a 4.14 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 65:30 K:BB across 74 innings.
