Adell went 1-for-4 with a walk-off three-run double in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants.

Adell picked an opportune time for his first hit of the afternoon. He timed up a two-strike slider versus Ryan Walker and lined it into the gap in left field to clear the bases and cap off a four-run comeback in the ninth inning. It's the third game this season for Adell with three-plus RBI. Outside of those three games, he's totaled just two RBI and two extra-base hits.

Thaiss went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Red Sox.

Thaiss has alternated starts behind the plate with Edgar Quero since the latter was promoted to the majors Thursday. Thaiss hasn't had much success at the plate, with Sunday's homer being his first of the season and only his third total extra-base hit across 45 plate appearances. He may lose additional playing time once Quero gets more comfortable at the big-league level, further limiting Thaiss's fantasy appeal.

Neto went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Neto got the Angels on the board in the fifth with a solo blast off Justin Verlander. He was then right in the thick of the team's four-run, ninth-inning comeback with an RBI before scoring the winning run. Both of Neto's hits have gone for extra bases through his first three starts of the year, adding more power to a lineup that's fourth in baseball with 33 home runs.

Kikuchi allowed one run (zero earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out six in 5.1 innings Sunday against the Giants. He did not factor into the decision.

Kikuchi was unable to reach six innings for the first time this season but had another solid outing. He was able to escape a scoring threat in the fourth and struck out the side in the fifth despite allowing an unearned run. Kikuchi has not won a game yet, but he's been solid thus far with a 3.38 ERA through five starts. Kikuchi lines up to face the Twins on the road in his upcoming start over the weekend.

Mahle threw seven scoreless innings in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Dodgers, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out four.

Mahle continued his sensational start to the year with his third scoreless outing of at least five innings. He ended his dominant performance with a strikeout of Miguel Rojas to strand a runner at second. Mahle's been one of the early surprises in baseball after being limited to just eight starts over the last two seasons due to injury. He leads with majors with a 0.68 ERA through five starts and will take the mound again on the road versus the Giants next weekend.

Langford went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

Returning from the IL due to an oblique injury, Langford worked a walk to lead off the second inning and stole a base in the frame. He was also called out in an attempted steal to end the game. Langford now has three steals in 13 games and was showing some early pop before his injury with four homers.

Buxton went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.

Buxton doubled in the fifth inning and then launched a 434-foot blast in the seventh. Over his last 10 games, the 31-year-old has tallied six extra-base hits and five multi-hit efforts. For the season, he's slashing .244/.277/.474 with four homers, 10 RBI, 17 runs scored and five steals across 83 plate appearances.

Ryan (1-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Sunday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts over five innings.

Ryan surrendered three home runs and a total of 12 hard-hit balls in a forgettable outing. He's also struggled to work deep into games, exceeding five innings just once in five starts on the year. The 28-year-old owns a 4.00 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB across 27 innings and will aim to get back on track in a home matchup with the Angels next weekend.

Burke did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Red Sox, allowing four runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Burke wasn't helped by his defense, as he surrendered a three-run home run following two consecutive errors in the first inning. He managed 14 swinging strikes on a season-high 94 pitches and completed five frames for just the second time in five outings. On the year, the 25-year-old owns a 6.23 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across 21.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Athletics next weekend.

Houck did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the White Sox, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Houck gave up a two-run homer in the first inning but rebounded with five scoreless frames. He exited with a 4-2 lead that the bullpen quickly squandered, though it was still an encouraging bounce-back effort after the 28-year-old was tagged for 12 runs (11 earned) Monday. He'll carry a 7.66 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB across 24.2 innings into a road matchup with the Guardians next weekend.
