Vaughn went 4-for-6 with a home run, two doubles and four total RBI in Monday's 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics.

Vaughn was a consistent producer in the offensive slugfest at Las Vegas Ballpark. After cranking a 420-foot, two-run homer in the third inning, the first baseman added an RBI double in the fifth before delivering a two-run double in the ninth frame to send the contest to extra innings. Fueled by Monday's performance, Vaughn has gone 11-for-27 (.407) with four extra-base hits, nine RBI and four runs across seven games to begin June. Overall, the 28-year-old is hitting .364 with 12 extra-base hits (two homers), 17 RBI and 14 runs across 96 plate appearances in 2026.

Patrick picked up the save in Monday's 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics. He allowed no hits and an intentional walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

Patrick was called upon to pitch the 12th inning and was able to shut the door on Monday's offensive slugfest. It marked the right-hander's third save of the campaign, as he has been deployed in a variety of roles throughout the season and succeeded to the tune of a 3-2 record, 2.22 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 41:21 K:BB across 52.2 innings (17 appearances). Abner Uribe pitched the 11th inning and picked up the win, while Trevor Megill, who leads the club with eight saves, went unused despite not pitching since Friday.

Harrison did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over 2.1 innings in a 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics. He struck out four.

Harrison's breakout campaign came to a screeching halt at Las Vegas Ballpark, as the Athletics blasted three homers and chased the southpaw before he could complete three innings. The disastrous outing inflated the 24-year-old's ERA by more than a full run, though the fact that he still owns a 2.72 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 77:18 K:BB with a 7-1 record across 59.2 innings (12 starts) speaks to how dominant he had been prior to Monday. Harrison will look to bounce back in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Phillies.

Varland picked up the save in Monday's 4-3 win over San Francisco. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

With Clayton Beeter recording four outs between the seventh and eighth innings, Varland was called upon to handle the ninth frame and worked around a leadoff walk to Rafael Devers and a two-out single by Jung Hoo Lee to secure the win for Washington. It marked Varland's fifth save of the campaign and first since May 7. Overall, the right-hander owns a 4.01 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 24.2 innings. He's in the mix for save opportunities, though Beeter likely sits slightly ahead of Varland in the pecking order.

Winn (2-2) blew the save and took the loss Monday against the Nationals. He allowed three runs on three hits and a hit-by-pitch while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.

After eight brilliant innings from Logan Webb, Winn was unable to protect a two-run lead, allowing a two-run single to CJ Abrams and a go-ahead single to Daylen Lile before being lifted with one out remaining in the frame. Other high-leverage relievers Caleb Kilian and Erik Miller were presumably unavailable after pitching in each of the previous two games, making Winn the logical choice for the save opportunity. The 28-year-old now owns a 3.23 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB while converting one of two save opportunities across 30.2 innings.

Webb did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks over eight innings against the Nationals. He struck out seven.

Webb was masterful, logging a season-high eight innings and putting himself in line for the win before Keaton Winn imploded in the ninth frame. Since returning from the injured list May 29, Webb has dazzled to a 0.93 ERA and 0.67 WHIP across 19.1 innings in three starts. The right-hander will look to maintain this stellar form in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Cubs.

Mikolas allowed three hits and no walks while striking out two over 4.2 scoreless innings of bulk relief Monday against the Giants.

Entering in the second inning following opener Richard Lovelady, Mikolas didn't miss many bats but kept the Giants' offense off the board before exiting after 54 pitches (41 strikes). It was a nice rebound outing after he surrendered six runs across six frames in his previous start against the Marlins, though the right-hander's season numbers remain quite poor. Mikolas will take a 1-5 record with a 5.90 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 61 innings (14 appearances) into his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Mariners.

Taylor went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over Cincinnati.

Taylor came through in the late stages of Monday's win, giving San Diego the lead on an RBI bunt single in the seventh inning before depositing a two-RBI single into left field in the eighth frame to extend the lead. The 27-year-old was called up Wednesday from Triple-A El Paso and hasn't found much success in prior major-league opportunities, but he could receive some looks in left field due to Ramon Laureano (hip) being expected to miss the remainder of the season.

Fermin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Monday's 6-2 win over the Reds.

Fermin opened the scoring, lofting an Andrew Abbott curveball over the left-field wall for a solo homer. After failing to go deep in his first 45 appearances of the season, Fermin has now homered in three consecutive games. The recent power surge is certainly encouraging, though the catcher's overall body of work remains underwhelming. Across 130 plate appearances, the 31-year-old is slashing .161/.250/.286 with eight extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 14 runs scored.

Abbott (4-4) took the loss Monday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over six-plus innings against San Diego. He struck out six.

Abbott was sharp across the first six frames, with his lone blemish being a solo homer by Freddy Fermin in the third inning. Manager Terry Francona elected to send the southpaw back out for the seventh inning, but Abbott was unable to record an out in the frame, allowing doubles to Xander Bogaerts and Gavin Sheets before exiting with both runners coming around to score and give San Diego the lead. While the end result Monday was disappointing, Abbott has righted the ship after a miserable start to the season, posting a 2.48 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 40 innings over his past seven starts. The 27-year-old is tentatively lined up to take the ball Sunday against Arizona.
