Garrett Crochet SP | BOS
Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Dominant in 15th win
Crochet (15-5) allowed three hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven shutout innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Monday.
Just one of the three hits went for extra bases. This was Crochet's fifth scoreless outing of the season, and he reached the double-digit mark in strikeouts for the seventh time in an impressive bounce-back performance after his season-worst outing against Cleveland last week. Crochet is now at a 2.57 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 228:42 K:BB through 185.1 innings over 29 starts. The southpaw's next start is expected to be at home versus the Yankees this weekend.

Luis Morales SP | ATH
Athletics' Luis Morales: Takes first loss
Morales (3-1) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Red Sox on Monday.
Morales had his first setback in the majors, as he allowed as many runs in this start as he did across his first six appearances combined. The Red Sox were also able to get to him for two home runs to send him to his first loss. Morales has a 2.73 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB over 33 innings so far. He'll look to bounce back this weekend in a start projected to be at home against the Reds.

Michael Helman CF | TEX
Rangers' Michael Helman: Drives in career-high five
Helman went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI in Monday's 5-0 win over Milwaukee.
Helman launched his first career grand slam en route to tallying a career-high five RBI. The center fielder is making a strong impression at the plate so far, and he should continue to play regularly down the stretch for the banged-up Rangers. Through 55 trips to the plate, Helman is slashing .245/.315/.571 with seven extra-base hits, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and three stolen bases.

Jacob Latz RP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob Latz: Quiets Brewers over 5.2 innings
Latz (2-0) notched the win Monday against the Brewers, allowing three hits and one walk in 5.2 shutout innings. He struck out four.
It was was perhaps Latz's finest effort as a starter so far this season, as it was his first scoreless start of the year. The left-hander has gone at least five innings in four of his six starts in 2025, and he's in line to remain in the rotation with Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. Latz has a 2.91 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 66:32 K:BB across a career-high 74.1 frames. He's next slated for a tall task on the road against the Mets this weekend.

Orelvis Martinez 3B | TOR
Blue Jays' Orelvis Martinez: Shut down at Triple-A
Triple-A Buffalo placed Martinez on its 7-day injured list Wednesday due to an unspecified injury.
Martinez hadn't played since Aug. 31 due to the injury before Buffalo deactivated him. The 23-year-old had a brief cup of coffee in the majors last summer, but after being issued an 80-game suspension shortly after his promotion, Martinez hasn't resurfaced in Toronto. He's spent the entire 2025 season at Buffalo and hasn't made much of a case for a call-up while slashing just .176/.288/.348 with a 28.5 percent strikeout rate across 393 plate appearances.

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Avoids serious injury
Arias was removed from Monday's game against the Royals due to right wrist inflammation, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Stebbins notes that Arias was lifted from the matchup as a precaution, so it's fair to consider him day-to-day until more information on the injury comes to light. Angel Martinez could be in line for opportunities at shortstop if Arias is forced to sit for a few days.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Three-hit performance in win
Schneemann went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-2 victory over Kansas City.
The 28-year-old posted his fourth three-hit game of the season in this contest and notched his 18th double. Schneemann entered Monday mired in a cold spell, slashing .094/.171/.219 in 35 plate appearances over his 10 previous games. He continues to play regularly in a strong-side platoon role, producing a .682 OPS with 11 homers, nine steals, 44 runs scored and 38 RBI across 115 total games.

Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE
Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Laces three hits in win
Rocchio went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-2 rout of the Royals.
The 24-year-old notched his second three-hit performance of the season, with the first coming July 8 at Houston. Rocchio, who entered the season with a .213 career batting average, has been much improved at the plate since the All-Star break, hitting .272 (43-for-158) with three homers, four steals, 28 RBI and 16 runs scored across 48 contests. Overall, the Venezuelan is now slashing .236/.294/.342 with 40 RBI and 27 runs scored in 317 total plate appearances.
