Gunnar Henderson SS | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Belts solo shot in Tuesday's loss
Henderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 15-3 loss to the Orioles.
The Orioles didn't have as much firepower as the Yankees on Tuesday, but Henderson managed to supply one run for Baltimore on a solo homer in the seventh inning. It was his third home run of the season, and the 23-year-old shortstop is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak, going 6-for-19 (.316) over that span.

Kyle Gibson SP | BAL
Orioles' Kyle Gibson: Roughed up in 2025 debut
Gibson (0-1) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing nine runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.
Gibson spent the first six weeks of the season getting stretched out in extended spring training and the minors after signing a one-year deal with the Orioles on March 21. His first outing of the year couldn't have gotten off to a worse start, as the 37-year-old gave up three-straight home runs in the first inning before yielding a fourth to Cody Bellinger in the same frame. Gibson was mercifully pulled in the fourth inning after giving up a two-run double, tossing 73 pitches (44 strikes) with seven whiffs in his 2025 debut. He'll look to rebound in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Twins.

Carlos Rodon SP | NYY
Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Retires first 15 batters in win
Rodon (4-3) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings.
While a returning Kyle Gibson struggled in his 2025 debut, Rodon pitched a perfect five innings before issuing a walk and a run in the sixth. Rodon yielded another run in the seventh inning on a Gunnar Henderson solo shot, which prompted the former's removal from Tuesday's game. Rodon has logged three quality starts in a row and sports a 3.43 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 42 innings, and his 52 punchouts rank third in the majors behind MacKenzie Gore (59) and Zack Wheeler (57). Rodon's next start is slated for next week at home against the Padres.

Austin Wells C | NYY
Yankees' Austin Wells: Participates in home run onslaught
Wells went 1-for-6 with a solo homer in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Orioles.
In case a 12-run lead wasn't enough, Wells gave the Yankees a 13-run cushion in the ninth inning when he took Bryan Baker deep to left-center field for a solo homer. It was Wells' fifth home run of the season, and the 25-year-old backstop has logged at least one RBI in five straight games, going 7-for-23 (.304) over that span.

Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA
Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Contributes as substitute
Peraza went 2-for-5 with one run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Orioles.
Peraza entered Tuesday's game in the first inning for Jazz Chisholm (oblique). Peraza took advantage of the opportunity, smacking a two-run single in the fourth frame and finishing with his second multi-hit game of the season. With DJ LeMahieu (calf/hip) on the 10-day IL, Peraza would be a candidate to see his playing time increase significantly if Chisholm is sidelined for an extended period of time.

Trent Grisham CF | NYY
Yankees' Trent Grisham: Gets scoring started Tuesday
Grisham went 1-for-6 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 15-3 win over Baltimore.
Grisham ignited the New York scoring attack out of the leadoff spot Tuesday, taking Kyle Gibson deep to right field on his second pitch of the day. The 28-year-old is now up eight home runs for the season, five of which have come over his last six games. Though Jasson Dominguez, Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge will likely continue to form the Yankees' primary outfield configuration from left to right more often than not, manager Aaron Boone has found it tough to keep Grisham's hot bat out of the lineup lately. Grisham was included in the lineup Tuesday for the third game in a row and has batted out of leadoff spot in each of those contests.

Cody Bellinger LF | NYY
Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Drives in three runs vs. O's
Bellinger went 2-for-4 with two walks, a solo home run and a two-run double in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Orioles.
The Yankees smacked four home runs off Kyle Gibson in the first inning, the last of which came courtesy of Bellinger to right field, and Bellinger gave the Bronx Bombers a 12-run lead in the fifth inning when his double brought Aaron Judge and Ben Rice home. It's been a slow start to the season for Bellinger, but he has picked up the pace over his last six games, going 7-for-22 with six walks, four runs scored, one home run and four RBI over that span.

Aaron Judge RF | NYY
Yankees' Aaron Judge: Cracks ninth homer
Judge went 2-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and three runs scored in Tuesday's 15-3 win over Baltimore.
Judge hit the second of four first-inning home runs off a returning Kyle Gibson, and the former crossed home plate two additional times in the fourth and fifth innings. It's been an incredibly dominant start to the season for Judge, who leads the majors in batting average (.412), OPS (1.235) and RBI (29) and is third in home runs behind Cal Raleigh and Eugenio Suarez (10 each).
-
Ben Rice DH | NYY
Yankees' Ben Rice: Belts two homers Tuesday
Rice went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and four runs scored in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Orioles.
Rice was on the bench for the series opener Monday, and the additional rest paid off. He was one of five Yankee players to hit a home run in Tuesday's contest, with both of his two solo shots came off the returning Kyle Gibson in the first and second innings. Rice is up to eight home runs on the season, which surpasses his mark from 2024 (seven) in 72 less plate appearances. He has a .998 OPS with 22 runs scored and 13 RBI this season.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Set for testing Thursday
Chisholm will undergo testing on his right oblique Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
The Yankees' decision to wait until their day off Thursday to evaluate Chisholm means he will not play in Wednesday's series finale in Baltimore. Chisholm could end up missing even more time, as manager Aaron Boone said after Tuesday's game that there's a chance that the second baseman ends up on the injured list. Chisholm, on the other hand, said he feels fine, though the final decision will likely come down to the results of his tests. Pablo Reyes is the favorite to pick up starts at the keystone for any time that Chisholm might miss.
