Francis allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Francis earned his third quality start of the season with this effort, which saw him throw 59 of 89 pitches for strikes. He had allowed 11 runs across his previous 7.1 innings before finding some success in Seattle. He's now at a 5.40 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB across 61.2 innings over eight starts this season. Francis is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Tigers.

Stephenson (elbow) progressed to facing live hitters Saturday, per MLB.com.

Stephenson had Tommy John surgery last May and is just over a year removed from the procedure. The veteran reliever has yet to pitch for the Angels after the team signed him to a three-year deal as a free agent in January of 2024. If he continues to progress without any setbacks, Stephenson could be ready to join the big club sometime in June.

Langeliers went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Yankees.

Getting a break from catching duties in the DH spot, the big blow off the bat of Langeliers was a three-run homer in the seventh inning. The 27-year-old tied his season high in hits while setting a new high in RBI, and through 34 games in 2025, Langeliers is slashing .248/.308/.473 with eight home runs, 17 runs and 22 RBI.

Rooker went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Yankees.

Getting the start in right field, the 30-year-old slugger took Carlos Rodon deep in the third inning to give the A's a 4-0 lead, and Rooker his 10th homer of the season. It was his fifth appearance of the season in the outfield, crossing an eligibility threshold in some fantasy formats, but his bat plays at any position. Through 40 games, Rooker is slashing .253/.316/.494 with 22 RBI and 27 runs.

Miller recorded his 11th save of the season in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Yankees, giving up one run on one hit over 1.2 innings while striking out four.

The right-hander took the mound with one out in the eighth inning to protect a 7-6 lead, but after the A's tacked on four insurance runs in the bottom of the frame, Miller may have let his focus slip a bit in the ninth as he gave up a leadoff triple to Trent Grisham. It was still an impressive performance after he blew his last save chance May 3, and through 15.1 innings this season, Miller carries a 4.70 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 30:6 K:BB.

Sears didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Yankees, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

The southpaw did serve up a solo shot to Aaron Judge in the fourth inning but otherwise held a potent New York lineup in check, tossing 50 of 82 pitches for strikes before exiting. Sears has given up two runs or fewer in five straight starts, and through 45 innings on the season he sports a 2.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in San Francisco.

Judge went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 11-7 loss to the A's.

The Sacramento native put on a show for his hometown fans with a pair of solo shots, taking JP Sears deep in the fourth inning before crushing a Justin Sterner fastball 433 feet to straightaway center field in the sixth. Judge now leads the major leagues in homers (14), RBI (37) and OPS (1.258) as he looks to repeat as AL MVP.

Rodon came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 11-7 loss to the A's, giving up four runs on eight hits over six innings. He struck out 10 without walking a batter.

Homers by Luis Urias in the second inning and Brent Rooker in the third accounted for all the damage off Rodon, who fanned double-digit batters for the first time this season thanks to 20 swinging strikes among his 98 pitches (67 total strikes). The veteran southpaw will take a 3.29 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 67:20 K:BB through 54.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Mets.

Bibee (3-3) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with three strikeouts over seven innings.

Bibee threw 63 of 96 pitches for strikes but received no run support from his offense, exiting with a 1-0 deficit. The 26-year-old endured a rocky start to the season but has since yielded only five earned runs over his last four outings. He owns a 3.80 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB across 45 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Reds next weekend.

deGrom (3-1) earned the win against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts over five innings.

deGrom surrendered a pair of solo homers but was otherwise dominant, racking up 21 whiffs on 90 pitches. The 36-year-old has won three straight contests while yielding two earned runs or fewer in each of his past five starts. He'll carry a 2.72 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 46:10 K:BB across 43 innings into a home matchup with the Astros next week.
