Carpenter went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Royals.

After sitting Wednesday against southpaw Jose Quintana, Carpenter returned with a bang Thursday. The outfielder pushed his OPS up to a stellar .913, which is actually a bit below last year's .932 mark. Carpenter still rests often against lefties, but when a righty is on the mound, he's become one of the better offensive threats in the American League.

Ginn is scheduled to start Friday's game in Milwaukee.

Called up from Triple-A Las Vegas last Saturday to replace the struggling Joey Estes in the rotation, Ginn spun a gem in his 2025 debut with the Athletics, limiting the Mets to one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings. He'll unsurprisingly stick around for another turn through the rotation, and Ginn's ability to keep the ball on the ground should come in handy at American Family Field, which has historically been one of the better ballparks in baseball for home-run production.

Raley went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 11-7 win over Cincinnati.

Raley got the Mariners on the board in the fourth inning with his second home run of the year, tying the game 2-2. The 30-year-old had been struggling coming into Thursday, going just 3-for-29 (.129) over his previous 10 games. Raley's now batting .163 on the season with a .587 OPS, seven RBI, six runs scored and a pair of stolen bases across 57 plate appearances.

Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's 11-7 win over the Reds.

Raleigh got Seattle's comeback started in the ninth inning with a 422-foot blast off Emilio Pagan to lead off the frame. It's the third homer in two games for Raleigh and his eighth of the year, good for second most in the majors. The 28-year-old catcher is slashing .216/.310/.581 with 12 runs scored, 11 RBI and three stolen bases through his first 84 plate appearances this season.

Garcia earned the save in Thursday's win 5-3 over the Angels, throwing a clean ninth inning and striking out one.

Garcia didn't have to do much to net his first save of the year, inducing two quick groundouts after fanning the leadoff batter on three pitches. Each of his five pitches overall landed for strikes. Closer Luke Jackson worked each of the past two days, and setup man Chris Martin was summoned to retire the top of the Angels' lineup in the eighth inning. That said, Garcia has five holds as opposed to one save in 2025, so he's unlikely to see very much ninth-inning work going forward despite producing a 2.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB through nine frames of work.

Bibee (1-2) came away with the loss against the Orioles on Thursday. He allowed six runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings.

Bibee was hurt by the long ball Thursday, as three home runs accounted for all six of the runs against him. The right-hander hasn't allowed a run in two of his four starts this season, but in his other two outings he's given up a combined 13 runs (including seven homers) over 9.2 innings. Things won't get easier for Bibee in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against Aaron Judge and the Yankees.

Seager went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Angels.

Seager socked a 427-foot blast into deep center field in the seventh inning, giving the Rangers an insurance run to put the team ahead 5-3. The star shortstop is off to a strong start at the dish in 2025, slashing .306/.368/.516 with four round trippers, one double, six RBI and six runs scored through 62 at-bats (17 games). Seager now has multiple hits in three straight contests.

Hedges went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Thursday's 6-2 loss to Cleveland.

Hedges battled Tomoyuki Sugano in a nine-pitch at-bat in the third inning, with the former coming out on top with a solo homer to left field to give the Guardians a temporary 2-1 lead. Across his six starts this season, Hedges has gone 3-for-15 with five walks, two runs scored and two solo homers. He should continue to see semi-regular starts as Cleveland's No. 2 backstop.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's win over the Angels.

After plating a run on a sacrifice fly in the first frame, Garcia launched a 382-foot shot into left-center field to give Texas a 4-1 lead in the third inning. He also struck out twice and has been punched out multiple times in three of the past four games. While the slugging outfielder is batting just .226 over his first 62 at-bats of the year, Garcia has remained productive by piling up three homers, five doubles, seven RBI and four stolen bases through 19 outings.

Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in Thursday's loss to the Rangers.

Rengifo singled on a line drive to plate a pair of runs in the fifth inning Thursday and now has a hit in six of his past seven games. The veteran infielder entered the season with a .754 OPS across the previous three years, but he's struggled to get his bat going early in 2025. Through 66 at-bats (18 games), Rengifo is hitting .242 with one home run, five doubles, seven RBI and eight runs scored.
