Buxton went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Astros.

It's the first stolen base of the year for Buxton, who hasn't swiped more than nine bags in any of his previous five injury-hampered seasons. The 31-year-old outfielder appears to be healthy to start the campaign -- he's gone 6-for-25 with a home run, five runs scored and three RBI through his first 26 plate appearances.

Casas went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Orioles.

Like a few of his teammates, Casas has had a quiet start to the regular season, going 1-for-17 (.059) through his first five games. The first baseman had an encouraging finish to team's seven-game road trip though, with his two-run homer in the seventh inning giving the Red Sox breathing room en route to their first series win of the season. Casas was often given days off against left-handers last season, and he was on the bench for the lone southpaw the team has faced thus far in 2025. He'll look to build off Thursday's contributions in Boston's home opener Friday against St. Louis right-hander Erick Fedde.

Campbell went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 8-4 victory over Baltimore.

Campbell extended the Red Sox lead to 4-1 in the second inning with a homer off Charlie Morton that left his bat at 104 mph, giving the rookie his second home run this season. Campbell has gotten off to a blistering start to his major-league career, going 10-for-24 (.417) with six runs scored, four RBI and a 1.333 OPS in his first seven games.

Crouse appeared to suffer an injury and departed Thursday's game with Triple-A Salt Lake after throwing four pitches, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Crouse entered the contest in the eighth inning and worked a 1-2 count on the only batter he faced before being pulled. The right-hander went down to a knee while waiting for a trainer to examine him on the mound, then walked off the field in apparent frustration after it was determined that his outing was over. The organization hasn't yet provided an update on Crouse, so it's not clear what caused his early exit Thursday. He logged 25 outings with the Angels last season, posting a 2.84 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 34:17 K:BB over 25.1 innings, but he wasn't able to crack the Opening Day roster this year.

Grisham went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 9-7 win over Arizona.

Grisham doubled in the first inning to plate a run, and he tagged Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly for a two-run blast and his first homer of the year in the third frame. Despite the absence of Giancarlo Stanton (elbows/calf), the 28-year-old Grisham still has just a part-time role in New York's outfield and has taken just 10 at-bats through five outings this season. Grisham is 5-for-10 with a double and four runs scored thus far, though.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-7 win over Arizona.

Chisholm took Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly deep for a two-run shot in the fourth inning, which helped chase the struggling righty from the game. The speedy 27-year-old slugger now has four homers -- tied for third in the majors -- through six games for a fast start to 2025, hitting .292 with eight RBI, six runs scored and one stolen base over 24 at-bats.

Judge went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-7 win over Arizona.

Judge delivered the first blow in Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly's nightmarish evening with a three-run homer in the first inning, and the slugger later singled to drive in another run during the fourth frame. The reigning AL MVP is off to a ridiculous start in 2025, hitting .417 with five long balls, three doubles, 15 RBI and one stolen base through 24 at-bats (six games).

Neto (shoulder) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday during a rehab appearance with Triple-A Salt Lake.

Neto began a rehab stint April 1 and has collected exactly one hit in each of his three games so far. He's gone a collective 3-for-13, and two of his hits (a double and Thursday's homer) have gone for extra bases. Neto hasn't yet played the field, however, as he's started all three of his games at DH. He'll likely need to get in some work on defense before he's ready to join the major-league club.

Weaver picked up the save after not allowing a baserunner in 1.1 innings Thursday against Arizona. He struck out one.

The Yankees got out to a massive 9-3 lead Thursday, but the Diamondbacks made the game interesting with a four-run surge in the seventh inning. That prompted manager Aaron Boone to turn to one of his high-leverage arms, and Weaver locked down his first save of the campaign while pouring in 15 of his 19 pitches for strikes. Although the right-hander is not the team's first option in save situations due to the arrival of Devin Williams (personal), Weaver emerged as a major weapon out of New York's bullpen in the second half of last season and should still see some save chances in 2025.

Carrasco (1-0) picked up the win after allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in 5.1 innings Thursday against the Diamondbacks. He struck out five.

After giving up three runs in two innings of mop-up duty during Saturday's 20-9 rout of Milwaukee, Carrasco was sharper Thursday while being staked to a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Two Alek Thomas groundouts resulted in a pair of runs in the second and fourth innings, and Lourdes Gurriel doubled to plate another during Carrasco's two-run fourth frame. It's unclear how long the veteran right-hander will maintain a rotation spot, with Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) targeting a mid-April return, but Carrasco's next start is currently penciled in for early next week in Detroit.
