Larnach went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's 11-4 win over Seattle.

Larnach reached base three times in Monday's offensive outburst, extending his on-base streak to 13 games. The outfielder's strong walk rate has fueled his production, as the 29-year-old is slashing .259/.419/.397 with five extra-base hits, eight RBI, 11 runs and a stolen base through 22 games in 2026.

Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three total RBI in a loss to the White Sox on Monday.

Soler produced the game's first run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning. He added a solo homer in the seventh and notched another RBI with a groundout in the ninth. The veteran slugger has been adept at knocking in runners this season -- though he's batting a modest .232, Soler leads the Angels with 23 RBI across his 26 games. That RBI total is tied for 10th-best in the majors.

Murakami went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 8-7 victory versus the Angels.

Murakami turned the game on its head in the seventh inning, mashing a three-run blast to turn his team's one-run deficit into a two-run lead. The long ball was his 12th of the campaign, moving him into the lead among MLB hitters. Murakami is also striking out at a 32.5 percent clip, but as long as he keeps hitting the ball over the outfield wall, the White Sox likely won't mind stomaching the punchouts.

Jeffers went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's 11-4 victory over Seattle.

Jeffers contributed to the offensive outburst, driving in two runs with RBI singles in the third and eighth innings. Monday's performance marked his sixth multi-RBI game of the season, as he's swung a hot bat to begin 2026. Through 22 games, the 28-year-old is slashing .282/.414/.465 with six extra-base hits, 18 RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base.

Kochanowicz finished with a no-decision Monday against the White Sox, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out five batters over six innings.

Kochanowicz was staked to an early 4-0 lead and cruised through six frames with just one run on his ledger. He was hurt by an inning-opening error in the seventh inning, which Chicago followed with a bunt single, and was then pulled. The Angels' bullpen subsequently imploded, allowing the White Sox to cross the plate seven times before getting an out, thus removing Kochanowicz from the equation for a decision. While the right-hander was unable to get into the win column, he nonetheless logged another promising outing, recording his third quality start over his past four appearances. Kochanowicz has solidified his place in the Angels' rotation by putting up a 3.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 24:18 K:BB through 35 innings spanning six starts.

Clemens went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and two additional RBI in Monday's victory over the Mariners.

Clemens led the Twins' offensive outburst Monday, highlighted by a three-run homer off Luis Castillo in the third inning. The performance marked the first baseman's first multi-RBI game of the season, bringing his line to .194/.275/.371 with three homers, two doubles, eight RBI, five runs and four stolen bases across 19 games.

Hudson earned a save against the Angels on Monday by retiring the only batter he faced.

Chicago trailed for most of the game before making a late comeback. With a three-run lead heading into the ninth inning, manager Will Venable didn't summon regular closer Seranthony Dominguez, who pitched three of the previous four days. Instead, Venable went with Grant Taylor, who was the victim of an inning-opening error behind him and who then gave up a pair of runs while retiring just two batters. With runners on second and third, two outs and Chicago hanging onto a one-run lead, Hudson was called upon to escape the jam, and he was able to do so by retiring Adam Frazier on a groundout. Hudson has had a good season with a 1.38 ERA and 16:8 K:BB through 13 innings, but Dominguez should get the bulk of the team's save opportunities moving forward.

Castillo (0-2) took the loss Monday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings against Minnesota. He struck out three.

Castillo worked a clean first inning but struggled from there, allowing four runs in the third inning, highlighted by a three-run homer from Kody Clemens. Known for his consistency with a career 3.61 ERA and just one full season above 4.00, Castillo is off to a rough start in 2026, posting a 6.35 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with opponents hitting .317 across 28.1 innings (six starts). He'll look to get back on track in his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against Kansas City.

Kay allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two batters over four innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.

Kay fell behind quickly, giving up a run in the first inning. He allowed two more in the second and another in the fourth before departing. The left-hander needed 90 pitches to complete his four frames, and he's now thrown fewer than five innings in five of his six appearances this season. Kay was at least managing to limit runs early in the campaign, but that hasn't been the case in his past two outings, as he's given up a combined 12 runs across over 7.2 frames during that span. He has a poor 6.12 ERA and 15:14 K:BB through 25 total innings, so he belongs on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Prielipp (1-0) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on a hit and three walks over five innings against the Mariners. He struck out five.

Prielipp was in control for much of his second big-league start, allowing just one baserunner before surrendering two runs in the fifth inning. The rookie southpaw leaned heavily on his slider, throwing it 36 times among 84 pitches and generating six whiffs on the bender. Through his first two MLB appearances, Prielipp has allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out 11 across nine innings.
