Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win against Kansas City.

Wells was the fourth and final Yankee to knock a solo shot off Seth Lugo in Monday's victory. After homering in his first two appearances of 2025, Wells was stuck in a 7-for-38 (.184) skid heading into Monday. He's now slashing .208/.278/.479 with six extra-base hits and seven RBI through 54 plate appearances.

Morel went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 16-1 win versus Boston.

The 25-year-old fueled the Rays' lineup and produced his second three-hit performance in the past four games. Morel has been a full-time player for the Rays since Jonny DeLuca (shoulder) last appeared on April 6. Morel has made the most of the opportunity, starting eight consecutive games and batting .323 (10-for-31) with a homer, three doubles, five RBI and five runs scored.

Torres went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 9-1 win over the Brewers.

Torres walked and scored to start things off in the top of the first inning, then chipped in an RBI groundout and a two-RBI single later in the game. The infielder has only played in five contests so far, as he missed some time due to an oblique strain, but he's gotten at least one hit every time he's been in the lineup. Overall, Torres is batting .389 with a 1.032 OPS, and a big campaign could be in store if he stays healthy the rest of the way.

Witt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Yankees.

Witt opened the game's scoring with a solo blast in the third inning. It was his second home run of the year and first since April 5. Despite the relative lack of power so far, Witt owns a strong .317/.397/.508 slash line with 11 runs scored through 17 games.

Carrasco (2-1) allowed a run on one hit and two walks over five innings Monday, striking out four and earning a win over the Royals.

The lone blemish in Carrasco's outing was Bobby Witt's solo home run in the third inning. It was Carrasco's first start of the year with fewer than three runs allowed and he dropped his ERA to 5.94 through 16.2 frames. He threw 49 of 79 pitches fo strikes and generated 10 whiffs, including five with his changeup. Carrasco is projected for a road matchup against the Rays this weekend.

Vazquez exited Monday's game against the Mets after appearing to injure his right hand on a foul tip, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Vazquez is likely headed for X-rays to determine the extent of the injury. Mickey Gasper took over behind the dish, and it would be up to Ryan Jeffers and Gasper to cover the catching duties if Vazquez is forced to miss additional time.

Misner went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Monday's 16-1 win over the Red Sox.

Misner powered the Rays' offense with his first career multi-homer game. The 27-year-old hit a 431-foot, two-run bomb in the second inning before returning in the eighth to add a 355-foot solo shot. Misner is currently in a strong-side platoon role but may garner additional playing time thanks to his scorching hot .400/.444/.775 slash line across 45 plate appearances.

Williams allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning while earning a save against the Royals on Monday.

Williams entered the ninth inning with a 4-1 lead and had to work out of a jam to close things out. He put two runners on base with one out but escaped unscathed with his first save since March 27. Through six appearances as a Yankee, Williams has yet to deliver a perfect inning out of the bullpen. He owns an uncharacteristic 7.20 ERA with a 7:6 K:BB through five innings.

Lugo (1-2) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks over 6.2 innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Yankees.

Lugo worked three shutout frames before Jazz Chisholm knocked a solo homer in the fourth inning. All four runs against Lugo came on solo home runs in the fourth and fifth frames. Entering Monday's start, he'd given up just one homer through 16.1 innings and this was his first time allowing multiple home runs in an outing since June 4, 2024. Lugo now owns a 3.86 ERA with a 16:9 K:BB over four starts this season. He's currently projected to start in Detroit this weekend.

Baz (2-0) earned the win Monday versus Boston, striking out 11 over six one-run innings. He allowed two hits and no walks.

Baz was utterly dominant in this 98-pitch outing, generating an incredible 17 whiffs to set a new career best in Ks at 11. The only blemish on the right-hander's performance was a solo shot hit by Kristian Campbell in the third inning. Baz now sports a 1.42 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB across 19 innings. The 25-year-old faces another tough lineup in his next start, currently projected to be against the Yankees at home this weekend.
