Wrobleski (5-0) earned the win Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing six hits and one walk with no strikeouts across six shutout innings.

The soft-throwing lefty generated just four whiffs on 83 pitches but got the Cardinals to hit the ball at his defense. Wrobleski doesn't miss bats but continues to get results, as he's won five straight starts, allowing just two runs across 32 innings in that span. He's in the bottom one percent in whiff rate, which severely caps his fantasy upside. Wrobleski is making it tougher on the Dodgers to take him out of the rotation once Blake Snell (shoulder) is ready for his season debut in the coming weeks. Wrobleski owns a microscopic 1.25 ERA and 15:10 K:BB across 36 innings.

Lynch struck out three over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

Lynch was tasked with getting the last out of the eighth inning and did so with no trouble before pitching a clean ninth as well. Lucas Erceg would normally get the closing call, but he had pitched the previous two days and was presumably unavailable for Sunday. Lynch had taken a blown save Friday against the Mariners but ended up with the win in that contest, which was just the third time he's been scored upon this season. He's at a 1.98 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB with a save and three holds over 13.2 innings this season. Lynch saw a bit of late-inning work last year and should continue to be in the mix for setup work, at least until Carlos Estevez (foot) returns.

Gelof went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 7-1 victory over the Guardians.

Gelof jumped on a Parker Messick slider, crushing a 429-foot homer in the fifth inning to give the Athletics a lead they wouldn't relinquish. With Denzel Clarke (foot) injured, Gelof has seen opportunities in center field against left-handed pitching and has shown flashes of productivity, driving in three runs across two starts in the series against the Guardians. Overall, the 26-year-old is hitting .250/.286/.425 with two homers, a double, seven RBI, eight runs and two stolen bases across 44 plate appearances in 2026.

Bubic (3-1) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over seven innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Sunday.

Bubic turned in his fourth quality start of the season to pick up his first win since April 10 against the White Sox. The southpaw threw 63 of 94 pitches for strikes in this outing and limited the damage to a run-scoring fielder's choice in the third inning. Bubic lowered his ERA to 3.32 with a 1.13 WHIP and 42:19 K:BB across 40.2 innings over seven starts this season. While the walk rate is a still a bit lofty at 4.2 BB/9, he's been effective at limiting damage. Bubic's next start is projected to be at home versus the Tigers.

Schmitt went 2-for-4 with an RBI and stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rays.

Schmitt was the only Giants player to log multiple hits, accounting for two of the team's six knocks. Schmitt has hits in five straight games and eight of his last nine. Seeing the vast majority of his at-bats as the designated hitter after a tumultuous start to the season as the Giants' first baseman, Schmitt is slashing .308/.354/.519 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 4:22 BB:K across 113 plate appearances.

Castillo (0-3) allowed four runs on six hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch while striking out five over six innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Royals.

Castillo was doing fine until the fourth inning, when he allowed four straight batters to reach base to open the inning. Three of them came around to score, and the Royals tacked on an extra run in the sixth. Castillo has allowed at least four runs in five of his seven starts this season, though this is the third time he's allowed four earned runs. He has a 6.29 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB through 34.1 innings. Until Castillo is able to limit baserunners better, he is likely to continue having trouble preventing runs. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the White Sox.

Soderstrom went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

Soderstrom was the last of three Athletics hitters to homer, driving a solo shot off lefty Parker Messick in the fifth inning to go back-to-back with Zack Gelof. Coming off a breakout campaign with an .820 OPS in 2025, Soderstrom hasn't gotten off to a stellar start in 2026, though he has still produced at times, and Sunday's effort was a step in the right direction. Through 32 games, the left fielder is slashing .221/.304/.426 with four homers, 11 doubles, a triple, 19 RBI, 17 runs and a stolen base.

Walker blew a save opportunity in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Rays, allowing a run on one hit and one walk across one inning.

With the Giants nursing a 1-0 lead, Walker came on to face the heart of Tampa Bay's lineup in the eighth inning. He walked Junior Caminero on seven pitches and allowed a single to Jonathan Aranda to open the frame. Ryan Vilade pushed across the tying run on a bunt play. Walker has now been scored upon in three straight outings, suffering blown saves in back-to-back appearances. His ERA has swelled to 4.61 with a 13:7 K:BB across 13.2 innings.

Romo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Padres.

Romo has three homers over his last three games. The catcher is filling the backup role behind Edgar Quero while Kyle Teel (hamstring) remains on the injured list. Romo is batting .300 (3-for-10), with all of his hits being homers so far this season. He's added four RBI, four runs scored and a 5:3 BB:K across 16 plate appearances since he was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on April 25.

Stott went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Marlins.

Stott is finally beginning to emerge from his season-long slump a bit. The second baseman hit his second three-run jack of the month of May already, but he still has a lot of work to do in order to improve his numbers. Through his first 97 at-bats, Stott is hitting just .206 with six extra-base hits, 11 RBI, eight runs scored and six stolen bases.
