Bibee didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Royals, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out three in 4.1 innings pitched.

It wasn't an easy outing for Bibee as he needed 87 pitches to work through 4.1 innings, the second straight start in which he failed to finish the fifth inning. The 27-year-old allowed just one run, a RBI single from Jonathan India, but departed with the game tied at one. Through three starts on the year, the right-hander is 0-1 with a 3.29 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 14 strikeouts and five walks in 13.2 innings pitched. His next start is scheduled for Sunday against Atlanta.

Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 2-1 loss against the Rangers.

Raleigh launched his first homer of the season, taking the 12th pitch of his first-inning at-bat against Jacob deGrom and sending it into the right-field bleachers. Coming off a historic 2025 campaign that included 60 homers, 125 RBI and a .948 OPS, it's been a slow start to 2026 for the catcher. Through 11 games, the 29-year-old is slashing .146/.255/.268 with a homer, two doubles and five RBI, though it's worth noting he would have another long ball if not for Jo Adell's recent string of home run robberies Saturday.

Erceg earned the save Monday against the Guardians, working a clean ninth inning with one strikeout.

It was the first three up, three down inning for Erceg on the season, retiring the Guardians in order to earn his third save of the year. With Carlos Estevez (foot) on the injured list, the 30-year-old has been thrust into closing duties and has been a perfect 3-for-3 on save opportunities. If Erceg continues to have success, it's possible that he could take over closer duties on a full-time basis even when Estevez comes back.

Adell went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 6-2 victory versus Atlanta on Monday.

Adell's biggest headlines this season have come for his home-run robberies -- he had three of them against Seattle on Saturday -- but the slugger was able to hit his first ball over the wall Monday. The homer came in the fifth inning and gave the Angels their final runs of the game. In addition to playing great defense, Adell has opened the campaign doing fine at the plate, as he's slashing .262/.295/.333 with five RBI through 44 plate appearances.

Wacha (1-0) earned the win Monday against the Guardians, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out three in seven innings of work.

Wacha missed his original scheduled start date Friday with illness, but he delivered a performance worth the wait Monday. The 34-year-old worked his way ahead of hitters well, throwing first-pitch strikes to 18 of the 26 batters he faced, and found his way to 21 outs while allowing just one run. The right-hander has been tough to touch in his first two starts this season, sporting a 0.69 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, 10 strikeouts and four walks in 13 innings pitched.

Junis picked up the save in Monday's 2-1 win over Seattle. He allowed no hits or walks with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning.

Junis was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and answered with a flawless frame to collect his first save of the season. Through six innings in 2026, the right-hander has yet to allow a run and has permitted just one baserunner. With Texas opting not to name a defined closer, Junis could continue to see save opportunities and work in high-leverage situations if he can maintain this level of performance.

Gilbert (0-2) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against the Rangers. He struck out five.

Gilbert was largely effective, though a pair of runs allowed in his first and final frames saddled him with the loss as the Mariners' offense was silenced. While Monday wasn't his sharpest outing, it marked a step in the right direction after the right-hander surrendered eight runs across 10.2 innings in his first two starts of the season. Gilbert is lined up to face the division-rival Astros in his next outing Sunday.

India went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Monday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.

India had the biggest swing of the game Monday, knocking in two big insurance runs in the eighth inning with a home run. It was a part of the third multi-hit game of the season for the 29-year-old, who is slashing .250/.344/.464 with two homers, three walks, seven strikeouts and eight RBI on the season. With his two home runs in nine games, India is on pace to shatter the nine home runs he had in 136 games in 2025.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-2 win against Atlanta on Monday.

Atlanta jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but Neto erased the deficit with a long ball to lead off the Angels' half of the frame. It was his second leadoff homer in the past three days and his fourth overall home run this season. Neto leads his team in that category and ranks fourth in MLB in the early going.

Jensen went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored during Monday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.

Jensen picked up his second multi-hit game in as many outings Monday, knocking out his second homer of the year in the process. In his first season making the Opening Day roster, the 22-year-old has suited up in nine of the the first 10 games and is slashing .250/.296/.542 with a double and five RBI.
