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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Estevez allowed a hit in a scoreless inning while earning a save against the Rays on Tuesday. He struck out one batter.

Estevez gave up a single to Jose Caballero but had no trouble finishing the 3-1 win. It was Estevez's eighth save in 10 chances, and he's now converted three straight. He dropped his ERA to 2.57 with a 12:9 K:BB across 14 frames.

Bradley (2-2) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks over seven frames Tuesday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Royals.

Bradley gave up a run in each of the first two innings but settled in for his longest start of the year. He threw over 100 pitches for the second consecutive outing but generated only six whiffs. His usual strikeout numbers have vanished as of late; after beginning the year with exactly seven punchouts in each of his first three starts, Bradley has recorded only eight strikeouts in his last three appearances. He now owns a 29:15 K:BB with a 4.58 ERA through 35.1 innings. Bradley's next outing is projected to be on the road against the Yankees this weekend.

Lorenzen (3-3) yielded a run on four hits and two walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out four and picking up a win against the Rays.

Lorenzen faced little resistance from the Rays' lineup aside from Junior Caminero, who hit a double and a solo homer against him. It was Lorenzen's third quality start of the year, all of which have resulted in wins. He was efficient Tuesday, with 60 of his 88 pitches being thrown for strikes. Lorenzen dropped his season ERA to 3.48 with a 28:13 K:BB through 33.2 frames. He's in line for a home matchup against the White Sox next week.
