Witt went 1-for-4 with a triple, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-0 victory versus Baltimore.

A day after hitting his fifth homer of the season, Witt's speed was on display Wednesday. He reached on a fielder's choice in the sixth inning, stole second and subsequently came around to score. He added an RBI triple in the seventh before crossing the plate again. Witt has three thefts over his past five games and is tied for 12th in the league with eight steals on the campaign.

Baez went 2-for-7 with a solo home run and three runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Baez's two games Wednesday were a good representation of his time in Detroit. He looked good in Game 1, going 2-for-3 with the home run, which was his first of the year, and three runs scored. The shortstop then went 0-for-4 and left five runners on base in the nightcap. Baez is now batting .237 overall in 2023 and has been largely disappointing for fantasy managers dating back to last season, though he's shown flashes of promise.

Neto suffered a right finger contusion Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Neto was pulled from Wednesday's game after taking a pitch to the finger on a bunt attempt. Luckily, he seems to have avoided a serious injury and will likely return to the Angels' lineup within a few days.

Neto was pulled from Wednesday's game against St. Louis after suffering an apparent injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Neto appeared to take a pitch to his right hand on a bunt attempt during the fifth inning. He remained in the game to finish his at-bat but was pulled before the bottom of the frame. He should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Mondesi (knee) is headed to Boston to visit a doctor before determining the next step in his rehab process, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Mondesi has been going through the same hitting and fielding routine he's had for several weeks but hasn't played in any games yet. A clearer timetable for the infielder could be available following his upcoming checkup.

Anderson went 0-for-4 with a walk Tuesday against the Twins.

Anderson was in the lineup for the first time since April 10 after being sidelined with a knee issue. He immediately returned to the top of the order and reached base in the bottom of the sixth inning on a free pass. Anderson has a very limited sample in the new campaign, though he did show significant aggression on the basepaths with five stolen bases in his first 11 games.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.

The rookie shortstop got the Yankees on the board by taking Tanner Bibee deep in the sixth inning, and Volpe came home with the game's final run in the eighth after getting himself over to third base after a single. Tuesday's activity on the basepaths snapped a 10-game streak without a stolen base for the 22-year-old, but he's a perfect 10-for-10 on steal attempts to begin his MLB career, and his bat has come around too. After a shaky first couple weeks at the plate, Volpe is slashing .275/.375/.449 over his last 20 games.

Witt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Witt led off the bottom of the first with a no doubter to center field, but he could not generate anything else at the plate. The 23-year-old has yet to find some consistency on offense so far this season. He's now slashing .221/.264/.410 with five homers, 11 RBI, 18 runs, seven steals and a 7:28 BB:K over 129 plate appearances.

Neto went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

Neto singled home a run in the sixth to pad the Angels' lead to 5-1. The 22-year-old is beginning to settle in as the leadoff man for the Halos after starting his third consecutive game in the No. 1 spot. He has multiple hits in three of his last four games and is now slashing .263/.354/.333 with five RBI, four runs and a 1:10 BB:K over 65 plate appearances.

Franco went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base Tuesday against the Pirates.

Franco grounded into a pair of double plays but rebounded with an RBI single in the fifth inning. He proceeded to swipe second base on a double steal, during which Jose Siri also stole home. Franco now has seven stolen bases across 121 plate appearances on the season after swiping only 10 bases across 652 career plate appearances entering the campaign.
