Workman went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run home run in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Mets.

Making the start at second base, Workman went deep in the top of the first inning against Nolan McLean. Workman has only appeared in four games for the Tigers since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo earlier this month, but he's already gone deep twice and is now sporting a 1.455 OPS. The 26-year-old could push for a larger role if he stays hot, though he also committed his second error of the year Thursday, and he'll need to hold his own defensively to stay in the lineup.

McLain went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run, two RBI and two additional runs scored in Thursday's 15-1 win over the Nationals.

McLain connected for his fourth home run of the season and has hit safely in seven of the last eight contests, going 9-for-27 with two homers and seven RBI. This production has come from the bottom third of the order, as McLain was dropped from the second spot in early May after posting a .195 average in his first 34 games of 2026.

Glasnow (back) has resumed playing catch this week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Glasnow plans to get back on a mound soon and could quickly return to Los Angeles' starting rotation if he can avoid any setbacks as he ramps up his throwing program. The right-hander is working his way back from a bout of lower-back spasms and will be eligible to be reinstated late next week.

Bader isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bader has a hit in each of his first two games since returning from a hamstring injury, but he'll miss a second consecutive start Thursday while Drew Gilbert patrols center field for the Giants.

Rodriguez isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Rodriguez will begin Thursday's game on the bench after going 0-for-7 with a walk and an RBI over two of the first three games of the series. Eric Haase will work as San Francisco's starting catcher and bat ninth.

Montero (2-3) took the loss Thursday against the Mets, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

Montero got off to a strong start Thursday, holding the Mets off the board through his first two innings, though he gave up a solo homer to A.J. Ewing to lead off the third before Brett Baty added a two-run shot that tied the game in the fourth. Montero delivered back-to-back quality starts prior to Thursday, allowing just two runs over 12.2 frames in that span. His ERA now sits at 3.65 with a 0.99 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB across eight starts (44.1 innings) this year. Montero's currently in line to face the Guardians at home in his next outing.

Duno has homered in three consecutive games for High-A Dayton and is currently riding an eight-game hit steak.

After a slow start to the season -- Duno batted .203 over the first 20 contests -- the catching prosepct has put on a show in the Midwest League. Since April 30, he's gone 16-for-40 (.400) with seven extra-base hits (four home runs) and nine RBI over 10 games. In addition to the bat coming around recently, Duno has showed off strong plate discipline and swing decisions for the Dragons all season with a .412 OBP, 18.7 BB% and 25:28 BB:K.

Raley went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 8-3 win over Houston.

The 31-year-old outfielder is surging in the power department, crushing five homers in his last eight games. Raley has firmly worked himself onto fantasy radars, slashing .300/.364/.657 with seven big flies, two doubles, one triple and 20 RBI over his last 26 contests (78 plate appearances) to raise his season OPS to .922. However, the left-handed-hitting Raley has taken a mere four at-bats versus southpaws this year, limiting his volume potential and upside.

Turang went 1-for-2 with a double, one RBI, two runs scored and two walks in Thursday's 7-1 win over San Diego.

Turang has now hit safely in 11 of his last 13 outings and is also riding a four-game RBI streak. The second baseman has been a five-category fantasy producer thus far in 2026, slashing .298/.422/.511 with six home runs, 27 RBI, 33 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 175 plate appearances. Turang's .933 OPS is well on pace to be a career high after posting a career-best .794 mark last during the regular season last year.

Martin went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-1 win over Miami.

Filling in as Minnesota's leadoff man for the injured Byron Buxton (hip) on Thursday, Martin responded with one of his best showings at the plate all season. The outfielder racked up a season-high three RBI, turning in his fourth multi-hit game in his last six outings. Although Martin hasn't offered much in the way of power, he's batting a torrid .333 with one home run, 11 RBI, 22 walks and seven stolen bases over 105 at-bats.
