  • Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Placed on 10-day injured list

    The Yankees placed Dominguez on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left shoulder AC joint sprain.

    Dominguez suffered the injury during Thursday's game against the Rangers when he collided with the outfield wall while making a catch. He managed to avoid a concussion or other major injury, but Dominguez is expected to require longer than a minimum stay on the IL. If Giancarlo Stanton (calf) beats him back from the IL, Dominguez could be sent back to the minors once he's healthy.

    Yankees' Spencer Jones: Big-league promotion now official

    The Yankees recalled Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

    Jones has put together a .258/.366/.592 batting line with 11 home runs, seven stolen bases and a 32.4 percent strikeout rate this season with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The left-handed batter should get a chance against right-handed pitching while Giancarlo Stanton (calf) and Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) are sidelined.

  • Carlos Cortes RF | ATH

    Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Tallies two hits Thursday

    Cortes went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

    Cortes accounted for two of the Athletics' 13 hits in Thursday's blowout road victory, including an RBI single in the third inning. It marked the outfielder's ninth multi-hit effort of the season as he continues to emerge as a major offensive threat with increased playing time. The 28-year-old owns an OPS north of 1.000, slashing .373/.435/.602 with four homers, five doubles, a triple, 14 RBI and 11 runs across 29 games in 2026.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Goes deep in win

    Wilson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 12-1 win over the Phillies.

    Wilson joined Thursday's offensive outburst, turning on an Andrew Painter sinker and launching it over the left-field fence for a two-run homer to extend the Athletics' lead in the third inning. It marked the third long ball of the season for the contact-oriented shortstop, who remains in the midst of a heater. Wilson currently holds an 11-game hitting streak, during which he's slashing .349/.383/.488 with four extra-base hits, five RBI, seven runs and a stolen base.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Pair of hits in loss

    Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's loss to the Guardians.

    Garcia recorded his second two-hit performance in as many days, ripping a leadoff double in the top of the first inning before later driving in a run with a single in the fifth frame. The third baseman's numbers have been trending upward of late, as he's slashing .303/.351/.515 with a homer, four doubles, four RBI, four runs and two stolen bases over the past eight games.

  • Zack Gelof 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Starts again, goes deep

    Gelof went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple, three total RBI and two total runs against the Phillies in a 12-1 win Thursday.

    Gelof didn't reach in either of his first two plate appearances, but he smacked a run-scoring triple in the fifth inning and followed that with a two-run homer in the seventh. The 26-year-old started for the seventh time in the A's past eight games, and he's delivered a .321 batting average with two home runs, six RBI, six runs and a stolen base during that span. Gelof has gotten starts at second base and third base as well as in center field, and he may be playing his way into a permanent roster spot even after Max Muncy (hand) and Denzel Clarke (foot) return from the injured list.

  • Brent Rooker DH | ATH

    Athletics' Brent Rooker: Has big part in offensive explosion

    Rooker went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, an additional RBI and a walk in a 12-1 romp over Philadelphia on Thursday.

    Rooker wasted no time making his presence felt, smashing a two-run blast to left field in the first inning. That was just his fourth homer of the season, though that's due in part to a stint on the injured list in mid-April. Rooker is still slashing a meager .177/.256/.342 on the campaign, but he's been showing signs of breaking out, batting .320 (8-for-25) with a pair of homers and seven RBI through his first six games of May.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Celebrates return with long ball

    Langeliers went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a 12-1 rout of the Phillies on Thursday.

    Langeliers missed three games this week to be with his wife for the birth of the couple's child, but he didn't accumulate any rust during his absence. The talented backstop proved that quickly when he took Philadelphia pitcher Andrew Painter deep for a two-run homer in the first frame. Langeliers later added a single and has now posted six multi-hit performance over his past eight contests. He's been smoking hot over that stretch, batting .459 (17-for-37) with three homers, five doubles, six RBI and eight runs scored.

  • J.T. Ginn SP | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Completes eight frames in victory

    Ginn (1-1) earned the win over Philadelphia on Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over eight innings.

    The Athletics staked Ginn to a 4-0 lead after half an inning, and the right-hander never let Philadelphia back in the game. He needed just 96 pitches to complete a career-high eight frames, with the only run against him coming on a fourth-inning long ball by Kyle Schwarber. Ginn yielded a season-worst five runs over 4.1 innings in his previous start, so the A's had to be thrilled to see him bounce back in such a big way. For a back-of-the-rotation arm he's faring pretty well overall this season, holding a 3.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 37.1 innings.

  • Hunter Bigge RP | TB

    Rays' Hunter Bigge: Picks up first win Thursday

    Bigge (1-0) was credited with the win Thursday against the Red Sox, striking out one in two perfect innings of relief.

    Bigge is bouncing back nicely from a scary injury in 2025, which occurred when he was struck in the face by a foul ball and carted off the field. Nine of his 11 appearances have been scoreless to begin 2026, with the 27-year-old right-hander logging a 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB with four holds across 13 innings.
