Judge went 3-for-5 with three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 10-8 extra-inning loss to the Rays.

Judge drove in two runs on a single in the fourth inning and added another RBI base hit in the ninth. The 32-year-old has recorded hits in eight of his past 10 games, six of which have been multi-hit efforts. On the season, he's slashing an eye-popping .397/.505/.607 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, 21 runs scored and two steals across 95 plate appearances.

Simpson went 1-for-5 with an RBI double and a run scored in Saturday's 10-8 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

Simpson drove in a run with a ground-rule double off Devin Williams, igniting a four-run rally in the ninth to force extra innings. He batted leadoff and should get a fair shot at regular playing time moving forward. While the 24-year-old had just one extra-base hit through 78 plate appearances at Triple-A Durham this season, he swiped eight bases and boasts true 80-grade speed.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Devers opened the scoring with a three-run blast off Shane Smith in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old has hit safely in four straight contests and was intentionally walked in a tie game in the ninth inning. On the season, he's slashing .229/.343/.386 with two home runs, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored across 83 plate appearances.

Meidroth went 3-for-5 with one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Meidroth recorded his first career multi-hit game and added his first major-league steal in the fifth inning. Recently moved into the leadoff spot, the rookie is hitting .269 with one RBI, four runs scored, a stolen base and an impressive 5:4 BB:K across 26 plate appearances this season.

Smith did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Smith held his own in a pitchers' duel with Garrett Crochet through four innings but couldn't escape the fifth after surrendering a three-run homer. The rookie was lifted at 73 pitches and has now topped 80 pitches just once, despite pitching into the sixth frame in each of his previous three starts. He'll carry a 2.82 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB over 22.1 innings into a road matchup with the Twins next week.

Crochet did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox, allowing four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across six scoreless innings.

Crochet dominated his former team for a second straight outing, departing with a 3-0 lead that his bullpen immediately surrendered in the seventh inning. The southpaw generated 17 whiffs on 96 pitches and has now yielded just four total earned runs through his first five starts of 2025. He'll take a 1.13 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB across 32 innings into a home matchup with the Mariners next week.

Keirsey exited Saturday's game against Atlanta with a hand contusion, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

Keirsey got the start in right field for Minnesota but was lifted in the top of the fourth inning for pinch-hitter Trevor Larnach after Keirsey was hit in the hand earlier in the game. He's likely to undergo further testing.

Henderson went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Reds.

Henderson got off to a fast start, homering in the first inning and tacking on an RBI double in the second. He also drew two walks and, for the first time in 13 games this season, avoided striking out. The 23-year-old appears to be finding his rhythm and is now slashing .245/.286/.472 with two home runs, three RBI, nine runs scored and two steals across 56 plate appearances.

Clase earned the save in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Pirates, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not issue a walk or record a strikeout.

Clase allowed a triple to Enmanuel Valdez to start the ninth inning, but the latter ended up being tagged out by Jose Ramirez after unsuccessfully calling for time. Clase needed only three pitches to retire the next two batters to capture his fourth save of the season. He's now delivered three straight scoreless appearances and has a 5.79 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB across 9.1 innings to start the year.

Young did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Reds, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings.

Young allowed three runs across his first two major-league innings but settled in with two scoreless frames before being lifted after issuing a walk to open the fifth. The 26-year-old featured a fairly balanced four-pitch mix but managed just four swinging strikes on 81 pitches. He'd be in line for a road matchup with the Tigers next weekend should he stick in the rotation, but the impending debut of Kyle Gibson could send Young back to the minors.
