Wilson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 16-6 loss to the Rays.

Wilson, who remains mostly stuck in short-side platoon role, belted his first homer of the season Monday. The utility player doesn't have a clear pathway to action at any position, especially now that Jackson Holliday (hand) is back with the Orioles. Wilson has at least been effective when called upon, batting .290 with two extra-base hits, three RBI, six walks and two stolen bases over 31 at-bats.

Perez (forearm) was activated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Perez got off to a slow start to 2026 after being diagnosed with a forearm strain. He's since completed a rehab assignment and returned to Double-A Arkansas, where he's allowed three runs (one earned) on one hit and one walk while striking out three over two innings (two appearances).

Clement went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, four RBI, one walk and two runs scored in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Yankees.

Following back-to-back singles from Vladimir Guerrero and Kazuma Okamoto to lead off the top of the fourth inning, Clement took Ryan Weathers deep for a two-out, three-run shot to give the Blue Jays a 3-1 lead. He later drove in a fourth run with a fielder's choice groundout. After failing to homer in the first 29 games of the season, Clement has three homers over his last 17 contests. He's now slashing .283/.309/.406 with the three long balls, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored, one stolen base and a 7:15 BB:K across 188 plate appearances this season.

Springer went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Yankees.

Springer saw the ball well against lefty Ryan Weathers, singling to lead off the game before taking him deep for a solo homer to give Toronto a 4-3 lead in the fifth. It was Springer's first homer since returning from the injured list April 29 and first since the Blue Jays' fourth game of the season on March 30. It snapped a personal 23-game homer-less drought for the 36-year-old, who had been 0-for-11 over his previous three games. On the season, Springer is slashing a disappointing .196/.277/.327 with three homers, nine RBI, 10 runs scored, one stolen base and an 11:23 BB:K across 120 trips to the plate.

Jeffers left Monday's game against Houston with an unspecified injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Jeffers was pulled from the game during his at-bat in the bottom of the eighth inning, though the nature of the injury is unclear at this time. He broke his bat on his first swing of the at-bat and didn't look comfortable afterward, and he eventually walked off the field to be evaluated further. Jeffers can be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

Corbin didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Yankees, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks with three strikeouts across four innings.

Corbin failed to go five innings for the second straight start, and he's surrendered six runs on 15 hits and four walks with just four strikeouts across 8.1 innings during that span. He's yet to make it six innings in any of his eight starts this season and is merely just trying to eat innings for this shorthanded Toronto pitching staff. The left-hander's xERA of 6.10 is much higher than his actual 4.23 ERA, and he's in the second percentile with an expected batting average against of .312. Corbin is also in just the 10th percentile or worse in fastball velocity (91.1 mph), whiff rate and strikeout rate. He owns a lackluster 25:13 K:BB across 38.1 innings.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with a double, two stolen bases and a run scored in Monday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays.

Volpe singled and stole second in the second inning before doubling and stealing third in the fourth. They were Volpe's first two swiped bags of the season after making his season debut last Wednesday. Through five games, Volpe is 4-for-13 with a pair of doubles, three RBI, two runs scored, two steals and a 7:4 BB:K. He's started all five games since returning to the lineup.

Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays.

After Cody Bellinger tied the game 5-5 with a two-run shot off Yariel Rodriguez in the bottom of the seventh inning, Chisholm swatted a two-run homer of his own two batters later to give the Yankees a 7-5 lead. It was Chisholm's fifth long ball of the season and snapped an 11-game homer-less drought. After a really slow start to the season, Chisholm's bat has been heating up with four straight multi-hit games and a five-game hitting streak. He's now slashing .237/.316/.379 with the five homers, 18 RBI, 21 runs scored, 12 stolen bases and a 19:54 BB:K across 190 plate appearances. Despite the recent success at the plate, Chisholm remains in just the 10th percentile or worse in xwOBA, expected batting average and expected slugging percentage. After posting a 15 percent barrel rate in 2025, Chisholm is barreling just 5.4 percent of his batted balls 48 games into 2026.

Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays.

Bellinger singled in the third inning and was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Facing Yariel Rodriguez in the seventh, Bellinger swatted a two-run homer to tie the game 5-5. It was his sixth long ball of the season and snapped a 14-game homer-less drought. Despite the depressed power numbers, Bellinger's .377 on-base percentage is his highest since his MVP season in 2019. He's in the 90th percentile or better in expected batting average, squared-up rate, strikeout percentage and walk rate. On the season, Bellinger is slashing .271/.377/.476 with six homers, 32 RBI, 30 runs scored, five stolen bases and a 31:26 BB:K across 204 trips to the plate.

Cecconi (3-4) earned the win Monday against the Tigers, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in 7.1 innings. He struck out four.

The 26-year-old right-hander delivered perhaps his finest performance of the year, spinning a season-high 7.1 frames in what was only his second quality start thus far. Cecconi has still been highly erratic for the Guardians overall, giving up at least four runs in five of his 10 starts while surrendering two or fewer in the other half. Despite Monday's showing, Cecconi might still be tough to trust when he brings a 5.16 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 42:19 K:BB over 52.1 innings into a difficult road assignment against the Phillies.
