Sugano settled for the no-decision after throwing 4.2 innings and allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

Sugano didn't make it through the fifth inning for the second straight start, but he battled to limit the damage to just three runs and keep the Orioles in the game. The 35-year-old has allowed four or fewer runs in all of his 13 starts, pitching to a 3.38 ERA on the season. The right-hander is likely to make his next start on the road at Tampa Bay.

Sanchez (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a home run and a hit-by-pitch during Saturday's 6-5 win over the Orioles.

Sanchez left the yard for the first time this season in his first game back off the injured list. He'll be called upon to spell Adley Rutschman occasionally behind the plate, but his other playing time will have to come at the DH position. If the slugging catcher wants time there, his numbers will have to improve. In a small, 33-at-bat sample size, he is slashing .121/.231/.212 on the season.

Mullins went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

Mullins went yard for the 11th time, bringing his OPS up to .786 on the season. If he can keep that pace, it would be the second-best season mark of his career, behind just his career season in 2021. The 30-year-old now has four extra-base hits over his last three games after going the five prior games without one.

Anderson (2-4) took the loss after working five innings, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

June has not been kind to Anderson so far, as he failed to pitch into the sixth inning for the third straight start, allowing a season-high six runs in the process. Over those three starts, the 35-year-old has gone a collective 14 innings, allowing 14 runs on 24 hits and five walks. It doesn't get much easier for Anderson moving forward, with his next start scheduled against the Yankees.

Rengifo went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

Rengifo entered the contest with just one homer through 61 games this year, but he went yard twice Saturday in Baltimore. The 28-year-old has been hitting well lately with six hits in his last four games, but his two home runs were the first to go for extra bases since May 17. He is now slashing .220/.252/.294 on the season.

Ward went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a walk during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

Ward broke out of a brief slump with a big day at the plate Saturday, recording his first multi-hit game since May 22. Coming into the contest, the 31-year-old was batting .141 (9-for-64) in his past 18 games. The next streak to break for the outfielder will be his strikeout streak, which is now up to ten games after picking up another one Saturday, and he has a 32.6 percent strikeout rate during that span.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

Trout has already eclipsed his number of at-bats from last season in an injury-riddled campaign and hit his 11th home run of 2025 on Saturday. His season at the plate has not lived up to his usual high standards, as the 33-year-old is slashing just .226/.313/.465 through 179 plate appearances. Still, Trout's .777 OPS is on track to be the worst since his rookie season but is still comfortably above the MLB average.

Francis did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies, allowing two runs on one hit and three walks with four strikeouts over 3.2 innings.

Francis cruised through three scoreless innings but hit a wall in the fourth, allowing two runs while putting five straight batters on via walk or hit-by-pitch. The 29-year-old has now failed to complete four frames in three consecutive outings and hasn't delivered a quality start since May 10. On the season, he owns a 6.05 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 54:27 K:BB across 64 innings and can't be relied upon even in a favorable matchup against the White Sox next weekend.

Buxton is considered day-to-day after being hit by a pitch on the elbow Saturday against the Astros, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The injury was labeled a contusion, implying the issue wasn't serious. While the Twins don't seem to have much long-term concern about Buxton, it wouldn't be surprising if he was held out of the lineup Sunday as a precaution.

Mahle won't make his scheduled start Sunday against the White Sox and will likely be placed on the injured list, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Mahle dealt with some shoulder soreness in his most recent start Tuesday, though nothing was reported until Saturday. His move to the injured list is not yet official, but Kumar Rocker will start in Mahle's place Sunday.
