Kremer (5-6) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Athletics.

This was a step in the wrong direction for Kremer after he had limited opponents to one run over his last 11.1 innings. The Athletics put up four runs in the third inning Friday and added one more in the fifth, which was the last run of the game. Kremer has allowed five or more runs on five occasions this season, pitching to a 4.98 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 53:19 K:BB across 72.1 innings over 13 starts. The right-hander is tentatively projected for a tough home start versus the Tigers next week.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

Urias got a day off Thursday to reset after going 1-for-10 over three games versus the Twins. He was able to make a small impact Friday, stealing his second bag of the season. The infielder has added modest numbers across the board with a .243/.339/.395 slash line, six home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored and five doubles over 50 contests. Urias continues to see a starting role at second base for the Athletics, but his hitting has been trending down over the last couple of weeks.

Wilson went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

Wilson dealt with a neck issue that kept him out of action Tuesday, but he's gone 8-for-13 over three games since returning to the lineup. It's part of a larger surge that has seen the shortstop log 11 multi-hit efforts over his last 17 games, batting .463 (31-for-67) in that stretch. He's up to a .369/.407/.527 slash line over 61 contests this season, which shows he's had no trouble adjusting to the majors in his first full big-league campaign.

Miller walked one and struck out three over 1.2 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

Miller inherited a bases-loaded, one-out situation from Tyler Ferguson in the eighth inning, but he struck out Heston Kjerstad and Jackson Holliday to escape the jam. Miller issued a walk in the ninth but had no trouble converting the save, his first since May 25. The Athletics' recent struggles have limited Miller's work lately, but he has submitted four straight scoreless outings, striking out five with one hit and two walks allowed over 4.2 innings in that stretch. For the season, the closer has converted 13 of his 15 save chances while pitching to a 4.84 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB over 22.1 innings.

Sears (5-5) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win over the Orioles on Friday.

Sears wasn't at his best, yielding two home runs in this outing, continuing a recent trend of trouble with the long ball. He's allowed nine homers over his last four starts. He's also failed to record more than four strikeouts in six straight outings, but the Athletics gave him enough support Friday to let the left-hander pick up his first win since April 28 versus the Rangers. Sears is now at a 5.21 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB through 67.1 innings over 13 starts. The 29-year-old is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Angels.

Trout took part in some outfield drills Friday, and Angels manager Ron Washington said he expects Trout to play right field in a game soon, Michael Huntley of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Since returning from a stint on the injured list due to a knee injury May 30, Trout has been limited to DH duties for the Angels. Friday marked the first time the slugger has performed outfield drills since that IL stint, and he's expected to do more drills Saturday. Trout shifted over to right field at the beginning of the season after spending most of his career in center, and it appears RF will remain his position when he's ready to play defense again. Trout went 0-for-4 as the DH in Friday's win over Seattle, his first game without a hit since he returned from the knee injury.

Martin didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Royals after giving up two runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

Martin submitted a season-high seven punchouts while turning in his fifth consecutive start of at least six frames. The right-hander is settling in as a serviceable member of Chicago's rotation in 2025, given he's now fired at least six innings while allowing two runs or fewer seven times among his 13 appearances. Martin's lack of strikeout upside may continue to limit his fantasy value, as he's averaging just 5.8 strikeouts per nine innings, but he owns a steady 3.62 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 48:17 K:BB through 74.2 innings ahead of his next scheduled start against the the Astros.

Lugo didn't factor into the decision Friday against the White Sox after giving up two runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out five.

After throwing a season-low 3.1 innings in his first start off the injured list last Friday, Lugo got back on track while firing at least five frames and surrendering two runs or fewer for the sixth time in 2025. The veteran right-hander has proven to be quite a consistent fantasy option thus far, considering he's allowed more than three runs just twice and worked fewer than five innings only once in 11 outings. Lugo holds a 3.46 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 50:19 K:BB over 65 innings, and he's tentatively scheduled to take the ball next week against the Athletics.

Williamson went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Angels.

Williamson went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts over his first three games in June, leading to a day off to reset Thursday. He bounced back well Friday, earning his fourth multi-hit effort in his last nine games. The third baseman hasn't shown much power, but he's slashing .252/.285/.311 with one home run, two steals, 13 RBI and 23 runs scored over 43 contests while hitting at the bottom of the order.

Gilbert (elbow) will make a third rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

After Gilbert threw 60 pitches in Wednesday's minor-league outing, the Mariners have opted to have him make at least one more appearance on his assignment before rejoining the major-league roster. The right-hander will aim to further build up his pitch count, and his next start after Tuesday could come from Seattle's rotation if all goes well. Gilbert's velocity was slightly diminished in his second rehab appearance, so that will be something to monitor in his third outing.
