Neto went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 9-7 win over the Athletics.

The Angels faced a 7-4 deficit after seven innings, but Neto's blast in the ninth gave them the lead. During the team's seven-game road trip, he went 7-for-29 (.241) with four homers and seven RBI. The shortstop continues to struggle to hit for average, but he's on a career-best pace in power. He's batting .225 with a .784 OPS, 17 homers, 39 RBI, 54 runs scored, 15 doubles, two triples and 11 stolen bases over 76 contests this season.

Bachman pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 9-7 win over the Athletics.

Bachman got the call for the bottom of the ninth inning after the Angels pulled ahead in the top half of the frame. The right-hander needed just 11 pitches (nine strikes) to retire the side. Kirby Yates had pitched the previous two days, and Ryan Zeferjahn tossed 24 pitches Saturday, which explains why Bachman got a rare chance to close. He's worked in a setup role this season, earning 11 holds and two blown saves over 34.2 innings. Bachman also sports a 3.63 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 35:17 K:BB. He had allowed seven runs over his previous two outings, though he had a 13-inning scoreless streak before that.

Detmers allowed five runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Sunday.

The Athletics appear to be Detmers' bogey team this year -- he's allowed 13 runs over 11.2 innings against them over two starts. Entering Sunday, he had given up just one run over 20 innings in June. The southpaw is now at a 3.93 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 104:28 K:BB through 94 innings over 16 starts. Detmers has also notably struggled in day games, posting a 5.03 ERA across 34 innings in those contests compared to a 3.30 ERA in 60 innings in night games. His fantasy managers should brace themselves, as his next start is projected to be a home rematch versus the Athletics.

Kreidler went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Kreidler was in the lineup versus a right-hander for the second game in a row, at the expense of Tristan Gray. With three hits in each of his last two games, Kreidler may be gaining some momentum for a stretch in the lineup at shortstop. On the season, he's hitting .295 with a .920 OPS, four home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored, three doubles and two triples over 89 plate appearances. He was also caught stealing Sunday -- he's 0-for-3 on the basepaths this year.

Canzone suffered a right hamstring injury during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Canzone exited the contest in the bottom of the sixth frame after hustling down the line on the groundout. The 28-year-old grabbed at his right leg after crossing first base, and it is now understood that he is dealing a hamstring injury. Canzone will travel with the team to Pittsburgh before Seattle will open a three-game series against the Pirates on Tuesday, and he is considered day-to-day for the time being.

Lewis went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Lewis went 4-for-25 (.160) with a 3:9 BB:K during the Twins' six-game road trip. Two of those hits went for extra bases, but his consistency has faded a bit after a strong initial showing when he returned from a stint with Triple-A St. Paul. Lewis is batting .203 with a .662 OPS, five steals, seven home runs, 21 RBI and 19 runs scored over 180 plate appearances this season.

Banda struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Yoendrys Gomez worked the eighth inning against the middle of Arizona's order. Banda then got the ninth, and he got Ketel Marte to fly out for the final out after the lineup turned over. Banda has allowed just one unearned run over seven innings in June, adding an 8:3 K:BB. He's at a 4.22 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 29:14 K:BB across 32 innings this season while adding two saves and nine holds. He should continue to be part of an unsettled high-leverage mix in Minnesota. Banda is one of 12 relievers to log a save for the Twins this season, including seven who have at least two saves.

Paredes allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Paredes put forth another serviceable effort, though the three walks matched his season high. This was the first time he's completed five innings this season, and he threw 47 of 75 pitches for strikes. Paredes is at a 4.05 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB through 20 innings over five appearances in his first stint in the majors. He is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Rockies, and he's pretty close to being fully stretched out as a starter.

Junis secured the save Sunday against the Padres, allowing no runs on two hits and no walks in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

Junis allowed the possible tying and go-ahead runs to get aboard, but he still held on for the save Sunday. The 33-year-old journeyman reliever has emerged as an effective high-leverage arm in 2026, though he's now given up multiple hits in three consecutive outings. Through 32 innings, Junis has a 1.97 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB while converting five of his six save opportunities. Though he worked as the Rangers' primary closer early in the campaign. Junis has mostly been used in a setup role since mid-April. Jacob Latz has earned most of the save chances over the past two months, but he was presumably unavailable Sunday after having pitched both Friday and Saturday.

Eovaldi (7-7) earned the win Sunday against San Diego, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

After being scratched from his scheduled start Saturday due to left knee soreness, Eovaldi looked no worse for wear Sunday while logging his eighth quality start of the year and keeping the ball in the park as well. The 36-year-old right-hander recorded a season high in punchouts, also generating an impressive 16 whiffs on the afternoon. Eovaldi still has a lackluster 4.24 ERA, but his 1.18 WHIP and 92:22 K:BB over 93.1 frames are much more encouraging figures.
