Yankees' Austin Wells: Big game against Crochet
Wells went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.
Wells tormented Boston ace Garrett Crochet, tagging the fireballer for a three-run homer in the second inning and an RBI double in the fourth. That helped New York keep the game close, but the Red Sox eventually pulled away for the win. Wells is tied for third among big-league catchers with 10 long balls this season and is tied for second at the position with 36 RBI.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Stays hot in win
Semien went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 5-0 victory over the Nationals.
After going 0-for-4 in the series opener against the Nationals, Semien bounced back Saturday to stay hot at the plate. He struggled mightily in May, slashing just .207/.302/.272 with two extra-base hits and eight RBI, but the second baseman is off to a scorching start to June with a .421/.522/.895 line, five extra-base hits and five RBI through six games. For a Rangers team that has underwhelmed in 2025, a resurgence from the 34-year-old could be a key factor in helping them work their way back into contention.

Romy Gonzalez DH | BOS
Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Swats homer in victory
Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional runs and a double in a 10-7 win against the Yankees on Saturday.
Gonzalez tacked the final two runs onto the line of Yankees starter Ryan Yarbrough with a blast to left field in the fourth inning. It was the first long ball of the season for Gonzalez, who went deep six times over 216 plate appearances with Boston last year. Despite the lack of power prior to Saturday, the utility man has been handy with the bat, as he's slashing .329/.368/.486 with 12 RBI, 13 runs and three stolen bases through 76 plate appearances.

Taj Bradley SP | MIN
Rays' Taj Bradley: Struggles in no-decision
Bradley settled for a no-decision after allowing seven runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two during Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Marlins in 10 innings.
The 24-year-old had a tough outing Saturday, allowing a season-high seven runs to a bottom-10 offense in MLB. Bradley, who struck out 34 batters in his last 30 innings entering Saturday, struggled to miss bats and got punished for mistakes by the Marlins. Things won't get any easier for the right-hander, who lines up to face the Mets in his next turn through the rotation.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Plates five runs Saturday
Story went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and five RBI in a 10-7 win against the Yankees on Saturday.
Story produced a bases-clearing double in the third inning, and he added a pair of insurance runs with a single in the ninth. The five RBI marked a season high for the veteran shortstop and equaled the number of runs he had plated over his previous 15 games combined. This was also Story's first three-hit performance since April 21, and he's still slashing a modest .222/.268/.331 on the season.

Jacob deGrom SP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Masterful in sixth win
DeGrom (6-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing two hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings against Washington. He struck out eight.
DeGrom was virtually unhittable against Washington on Saturday. The right-hander's fastball might be down a few ticks from his peak velocity (it's averaging 97.1 mph in 2025), but he's been as dominant as ever, posting a 1.66 ERA and 0.85 WHIP across 43.1 innings in his past seven starts. With a 2.12 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 76.1 innings in 13 outings overall in 2025, the 36-year-old is reasserting himself as one of the game's premier pitchers.

Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY
Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Hot stretch comes to crashing halt
Yarbrough (3-1) took the loss against Boston on Saturday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three batters over four innings.
Yarbrough entered Saturday having tossed two straight quality starts and having posted a minuscule 1.76 ERA across his previous 30.2 innings, but he couldn't keep up that momentum against the Red Sox. The left-hander was doomed by a five-run Boston third inning. Yarbrough's season ERA jumped from 2.83 all the way up to 4.17 as a result of the poor outing, and the loss was his first of the campaign. He'll try to bounce back in his next start, which is tentatively slated to be a rematch against Boston, this time on the road.

Gavin Williams SP | CLE
Guardians' Gavin Williams: Turns in quality start
Williams took a no-decision after he allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five in six innings during Saturday's 5-3, extra-inning loss to the Astros
Williams continues to do a good job at limiting hits in his starts, surrendering five or fewer in six straight. Walks have been the thing to hurt the 25-year-old this season as he walked multiple batters Saturday for the 11th time in 13 starts. The strikeout numbers look good with a 9.8 K/9, but the right-hander will likely need to cut down on the free passes in order to maintain his current ERA of 3.86.

Willie MacIver C | SEA
Athletics' Willie MacIver: In line for more playing time
MacIver is expected to have an expanded role at catcher while Shea Langeliers (oblique) is sidelined, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
MacIver was called up to the majors May 23 after dominating at Triple-A, where he slashed .389/.469/.548 with 30 RBI. Since debuting May 25, the 28-year-old has batted .227/.261/.273 with two RBI over seven games and 22 at-bats. With Shea Langeliers out due to an oblique strain, the Athletics appear likely to give MacIver a chance to prove himself over Jhonny Pereda for the time being.

Aroldis Chapman RP | BOS
Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Posts 10th save
Chapman earned a save against the Yankees on Saturday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning.
Chapman was called upon in the ninth inning to protect a three-run lead against the team he spent over six seasons with earlier in his career. The veteran closer needed just 11 pitches to get the job done, firing nine strikes and retiring the side in order. Chapman is in the midst of a throwback campaign at 37 years of age, as he holds a 1.73 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB through 26 innings. The fireballer is 10-for-11 in save chances and has given up just one earned run over his past 10 outings.
