Jankowski went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Yankees.

Jankowski was recalled by the Rays on April 26 and has started only three of eight games since. He has managed five hits across 15 at-bats in that span, but his role is unlikely to expand without further injuries to the team's outfield.

Walls went 4-for-5 with a double and two runs scored Sunday against the Yankees.

Walls has lost playing time to Jose Caballero since April 19, but he started two of three games against the Yankees over the weekend. He combined to go 4-for-7 with an RBI and two runs scored, though he's still hitting only .192 for the season across 192 plate appearances.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with two RBI and two walks Sunday against the Yankees.

Lowe managed to drive in a pair with a single in the fourth inning, though he still hasn't snapped out of a slow start to the season. He's hitting only .203 paired with a 28.1 percent strikeout rate, but most problematic has been his lack of power. Lowe's only extra-base hits of the season have been his four home runs, leading to just a .102 ISO across 128 plate appearances.

Rodriguez walked two with no strikeouts while allowing no hits across a scoreless seventh inning Sunday against the Yankees.

It wasn't Rodriguez's sharpest outing, but he has now gone six straight appearances without allowing a run and hasn't allowed an earned run in 12 of his 15 outings for the season. He's a key setup man in the Rays' bullpen -- he has six holds -- but is unlikely to see many save chances, particularly while Pete Fairbanks is healthy.

Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota.

Gonzalez started at first base in both games since Triston Casas went down with a season-ending knee injury Friday. Gonzalez is relatively new to the position -- he played 18 games there last season and was part of platoon in 2025 -- and it's unclear if he'll be the permanent fill-in for Casas. He's been consistent all season, hitting safely in nine of 11 starts, and enters Monday's day off with a .327/.382/.449 slash line, three steals, six RBI and 10 runs scored over 16 games.

Seager started at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over Seattle.

Seager, who served as the designated hitter Saturday when he was activated off the injured list, was back home at shortstop Sunday. The Rangers have been in an offensive funk and desperately need Seager's bat in the lineup. The shortstop ranks third on the club with a .291 batting average.

Arias went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over Toronto.

Arias had his most productive game in a couple of weeks. He entered Sunday batting .184 (7-for-38) with one RBI over the last 13 games. Arias started at shortstop, his fourth start there in the last six games and 11th this season.

Manzardo went 2-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Manzardo shook off a 1-for-14 stretch with his fifth multi-hit game of the season. The steal was his first as a big-leaguer and just his fifth since becoming a professional in 2021.

Smith went 4-for-5 with an RBI triple and two runs scored in Sunday's win over Seattle.

Smith served as the Rangers' leadoff hitter for the third straight game and set the tone for the 8-1 win. He singled in the first, third and fourth innings, and added an RBI triple in the eighth. Corey Seager (hamstring) returned to his post at shortstop, so Smith took over center field duties Sunday. Smith is slashing .311/.386/.478 with eight extra-base hits and 16 runs scored and could see regular duty in center field after the Rangers placed Leody Taveras on waivers.

India went 2-for-5 with a home run in Sunday's 11-6 win over Baltimore.

India hit his first home run of the season and first in 38 games. He's had a miserable start to the season by hitting .212/.328/.265 with just five RBI and 12 runs before Sunday's game despite batting mostly leadoff. Perhaps Sunday's game will finally get his bat going.
