Cecconi (1-2) took the loss Thursday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out three.

Cecconi got no run support in the loss, as the Yankees' pitching staff shut the Guardians out. Still, it was a decent outing for the 26-year-old, especially considering he allowed five runs and three homers in his most recent start. In four appearances this season, Cecconi has a 4.87 ERA and a 20:7 K:BB across 20.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Reds for his next start.

Fried (8-1) picked up the win Thursday against Cleveland, allowing one hit and two walks with seven strikeouts over six shutout innings.

Fried began the 2025 season with a 1.29 ERA across his first 11 starts before being tagged for six earned runs in five innings by the Dodgers in his most recent appearance. The 31-year-old southpaw bounced back in a big way Thursday, holding Cleveland to just one hit and firing his fifth scoreless start of the season. Fried has struck out seven or more batters in six of his 12 starts this season and boasts a 1.78 ERA across 81 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Royals next time out.

Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an RBI single during Thursday's 4-0 win over Cleveland.

His fourth-inning homer off Slade Cecconi was his ninth of 2025, driving in Aaron Judge to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead. Bellinger provided an insurance run in the seventh by driving in Trent Grisham on a single. In his last 11 games, Bellinger has gone 10-for-39 (.256) with six RBI and five runs scored.

Chisholm went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base during Thursday's 4-0 win over the Guardians.

The performance marked Chisholm's second three-hit game in 33 appearances this season and his second multi-hit outing since being activated from the injured list Tuesday. He's up to seven stolen bases this year. In 136 plate appearances, Chisholm is slashing .207/.316/.440 with eight homers, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored.

Aldegheri was optioned to Double-A Rocket City on Thursday.

Aldegheri was promoted to the majors Monday and made his 2025 debut Wednesday. He allowed two unearned runs across 2.1 frames but will quickly head back to the minors.

McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 3-2, extra-inning loss to the White Sox. He also stole a base.

McKinstry continues to produce for the Tigers with hits in four of his last five games and a .271 average for the season. The utility man is also up to four stolen bases, and after recording 16 steals each of the last two years, he could start running more moving forward. McKinstry isn't the most exciting player, but his versatility and steady production is getting him into the lineup most days.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.

Henderson smacked his eighth homer of the season, and he's really begun to settle in following a delayed start to the year due to an intercostal strain. Over his last 30 games, the star shortstop is batting a .279 (34-for-122) with five long balls, five doubles, 11 RBI, and 18 runs scored. Henderson entered Thursday with a top-notch 55.3 percent hard-hit rate, so perhaps he even has some room for improvement in the power department.

Wilson went 3-for-5 with a home run and three total runs scored in Thursday's 14-3 rout over Minnesota.

Wilson has been one of the best hitters in baseball since mid-May -- the rookie shortstop has gone 28-for-63 (.445) with three homers in his last 16 games. The 23-year-old Wilson is batting .363, tied with Freddie Freeman for the second-best mark in the majors, with a .925 OPS, eight homers, 34 RBI and 34 runs scored through 255 plate appearances this season.

Spence (2-1) earned the win Thursday over the Twins, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

It was an impressive outing for Spence in his first start of the year after opening the year as a reliever. The right-hander needed just 57 pitches to make it through five innings, with the lone blemish coming on a Matt Wallner homer in the fourth. Spence, who came into the day with a 4.38 ERA across 39 innings out of the bullpen, likely earned himself another look in the A's rotation. His next start would likely come next week on the road against the Angels.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and three total RBI in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles.

Raleigh got the Mariners on the board in the third inning, tying the game 1-1 with an RBI single, before smacking his league-leading 24th homer off Zach Eflin in the fifth. It's been an incredible year thus far for the 28-year-old Raleigh -- he has at least one hit in 13 of his last 15 contests, going 20-for-58 (.345) with nine home runs in that span. Overall, Raleigh is batting .268 with a 1.015 OPS, 49 RBI and 41 runs scored through his first 265 plate appearances this season.
