D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

D'Arnaud's homer in the fourth inning tied the game at 4-4. The catcher isn't quite alternating starts with fellow backstop Logan O'Hoppe, but d'Arnaud has done enough with the bat lately to command more than just a backup role. He is 11-for-33 (.333) with two homers, two doubles and five RBI over his last 10 games. For the season, he has a .233/.281/.367 slash line, two homers, six RBI and four runs scored across 96 plate appearances.

Jansen struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

Jansen has six saves and a win over his last eight appearances, allowing two runs across 8.1 innings in that span. The veteran closer had his share of shaky moments in May, but he remains a perfect 13-for-13 in save chances this season. He's done that despite a 4.43 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across 20.1 innings. While chances to close have been somewhat limited for a mediocre Angels club, Jansen is getting the job done when his number is called.

Hendricks (3-6) allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Friday.

Hendricks has allowed at least three runs in six straight outings. That held true Friday, but for the second time in that span, he came away with a win despite not being at his best in any regard. Hendricks has been able to work fairly deep into games most of the time, but he has posted unimpressive ratios with a 5.40 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 41:20 K:BB through 65 innings over 12 starts. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Athletics.

Robert went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a walk in Friday's 7-2 win over the Royals.

Robert's three RBI were his most since he tallied a season-high four back on May 1, and this was his first multi-RBI effort since then. The veteran center fielder has struggled at the plate essentially all year long -- he has just eight multi-hit efforts and 11 extra-base hits in 56 games -- but Friday was an encouraging sign after he missed some time for a mental break earlier this week. Robert's name has swirled around in trade rumors this season, and a potential move from the 21-43 White Sox would figure to aid his fantasy value.

Clarke was removed from Friday's game against the Orioles with a left shoulder contusion, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Clarke hit the outfield wall hard while making a catch in the fourth inning of Friday's contest, and he was later replaced on defense when the A's took the field in the sixth. His status for the immediate future remains unknown.

Lewis went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI single in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Lewis reached base safely in all four plate appearances, the last of which resulted in an RBI single in the eighth to cut the deficit to two runs. Lewis' struggles at the plate this season include an 0-for-32 slump, and he has a .509 OPS across 91 plate appearances this season.

Caglianone went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 7-2 loss to the White Sox.

Caglianone had a pair of tough-luck lineouts, with each exceeding 109 mph in exit velocity for the two hardest-hit balls of the contest, per Statcast. The 2024 first-rounder has gone a quiet 1-for-17 with a lone RBI through his first four major-league games, but Friday's outing suggests he's still seeing the ball fairly well so far. Fantasy managers should remain patient with Caglianone, who slashed an exceptional .319/.370/.723 with six homers, one double and 13 RBI over 54 plate appearances with Triple-A Omaha this year.

Warren (4-3) earned the win against the Red Sox on Friday, allowing four runs on three hits and four walks with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Warren was given an early lead and looked poised for his first quality start since May 9 before allowing four runs over his final two innings. He struggled with command and control, issuing four walks for the second straight outing while generating just six whiffs on 84 pitches. The 25-year-old now carries a 5.34 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 75:28 K:BB across 57.1 innings and is slated to face the Royals on the road next week.

Buehler (4-4) took the loss against the Yankees on Friday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over two innings.

Buehler surrendered five runs on two homers in the first inning and needed 67 pitches to get through just two frames, marking his shortest outing of the season. The 30-year-old has now yielded 10 earned runs over his past two starts, pushing his ERA from 3.95 to 5.18. He also owns a 1.44 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB across 48.2 innings and is slated for a home matchup with the Rays next week.

Fairbanks worked a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 12th save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Marlins.

The right-hander didn't walk or strike out a batter, instead getting two flyballs before Taylor Walls made a leaping grab on a Javier Sanoja line drive for the final out. Fairbanks has been tagged for earned runs in only one of his last 18 appearances dating back to April 23, posting a 1.04 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB through 17.1 innings over that stretch while converting nine of 10 save chances.
