Kwan went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.

Kwan was involved in two of the Guardians' three runs. He knocked in what turned out to be the winning run with a third-inning single and extended a rally in the eighth that produced an insurance tally. Kwan has been Mr. Consistent atop Cleveland's order, reaching base safely in 17 of 20 games. He's slashing .329/.384/.468 with five extra-base hits, 12 RBI, two steals and 13 runs scored.

Rocchio went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 3-0 win over Pittsburgh.

Rocchio returned to the lineup after getting a break Friday. He scored an insurance run in the eighth inning following a walk and a stolen base. It was his first successful steal in three tries. Cleveland's primary shortstop is slashing .220/.293/.260 over 58 plate appearances.

Jones went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.

For the second straight game, Guardians manager Stephen Vogt inserted a slumping outfielder into the two spot in the batting order, and each time, the player responded with a pair of hits. Jones' turn followed Lane Thomas, who snapped a hitless skid with a pair of hits Friday. Jones entered Saturday's contest with one hit over his previous 12 at-bats and a .140 batting average overall.

Rortvedt went 1-for-3 with two RBI, a walk and a run scored Saturday against the Yankees.

Rortvedt drew his third start in five games, all of which have come at catcher and at the expense of Danny Jansen, who has just a .486 OPS through 53 plate appearances. Rortvedt is typically not much of a contributor at the plate himself however, and he now has two hits across 21 at-bats to begin 2025.

Diaz went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Saturday against the Yankees.

Diaz failed to record multiple hits across his first 10 starts of the campaign, but he continues to turn things around at the plate, as Saturday marked his fifth multi-hit effort in his last 11 starts. In that 11-game sample, Diaz has also managed three homers and five total extra-base hits to go along with seven RBI and seven runs scored.

Aranda went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Yankees.

Aranda capped off a comeback for the Rays with a walk-off home run in the 10th inning. He has hit well overall to begin the season and flashed a lot of power, tallying eight doubles and four home runs across 69 plate appearances, although most of that damage has come in the Rays' very hitter-friendly temporary home at George Steinbrenner Field. Aranda will likely remain in a strong-side platoon, but he did draw the start Friday with a lefty on the mound.

Leasure allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one across a scoreless ninth inning Saturday against the Red Sox.

The White Sox haven't recorded a save as a team yet this season, leaving the closer role largely superfluous. Early favorite for the job Mike Clevinger was designated for assignment earlier in the week, which appears to put Leasure in the best position to protect any late leads. He pitched in a low-leverage situation Friday but then entered Saturday's game in the ninth inning with the score knotted at 3-3. That suggests Leasure may be the best option to speculate on saves for the White Sox, but opportunities will likely remain limited.

Robert went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks Saturday against the Red Sox.

Robert was on the bench for Friday's game after going hitless across his last 14 at-bats. The day off appeared to help, as he smacked a two-run home run in the seventh inning to knot the game at 3-3. Robert is batting only .145 this season, but he has boosted his fantasy appeal with two home runs and six stolen bases.

Quero went 2-for-4 with a double Saturday against the Red Sox.

Quero has appeared in all three games since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, two of which were starts. He already has a pair of doubles with three total hits across nine at-bats while striking out only once. Early returns have been positive, and the White Sox have little reason not to give him as much playing time as he can handle with only Matt Thaiss competing for reps behind the plate.

Wesneski gave up two runs on six hits with four strikeouts and a walk over five innings during Saturday's 3-2 win against the Padres. He did not factor in the decision.

The right-hander exited in line for the loss, but the Astros offense came alive in the sixth and seventh innings to flip the script. Wesneski has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his first four starts of the season, though he has surrendered six long balls. He'll take a 3.91 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB into a matchup with the Royals next weekend.
