O'Neill went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, two RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Royals.

O'Neill tallied multiple hits for the third time in eight starts this season, with his biggest contribution coming on a two-RBI triple in the seventh inning. He now has five total extra-base hits despite failing to go yard since Opening Day.

Sugano (1-1) allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.1 innings to earn the win Saturday against the Royals.

Sugano had a shaky MLB debut that ended early due to cramps, but he managed to bounce back Saturday to earn his first MLB win. He began 17 of the 23 batters he faced with a strike and induced several softly hit flyballs for easy outs. Unsurprisingly, Sugano hasn't showcased overpowering stuff early in his big-league sample, but he has been capable of limiting runs and should be in line for plenty of wins with the support of the Baltimore offense.

Bassitt did not factor into the decision Saturday against the Mets, allowing four hits over 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out nine.

Bassitt was stellar Saturday, keeping a potent Mets lineup off the board into the seventh inning. However, the Blue Jays bullpen was unable to hold a 2-0 lead, leaving Bassitt with a no-decision in an eventual 3-2 loss. It's been an excellent start to the year for Bassitt, who has allowed just one run while striking out 16 in his first 12.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Boston.

Springer suffered lower back spasms after a collision with the wall Saturday against the Mets, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Springer was attempting to make a catch in the ninth inning but got turned around and hit the wall. He walked off the field under his own power and has avoided a serious injury. Manager John Schneider said no further tests will be necessary and that Springer will be evaluated Sunday.

Soto threw four scoreless innings with five strikeouts and three walks Friday in his first start for High-A Cedar Rapids.

A 2024 first-round pick out of high school, Soto had a 26.7% strikeout rate but a 5.23 ERA (though 3.42 FIP) as an 18-year-old at Low-A Fort Myers last year. He had a 10.5% walk rate, so he'll need better control as he advances through the minors. However, he's shown a lot of promise at a young age versus his competition level.

Springer exited Saturday's game against the Mets after crashing into the wall in right field, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Springer was attempting to make a catch in the top of the ninth inning, but he got turned around and crashed into the wall. He managed to make the throw into the infield but then walked off the field in the presence of trainers. The exact nature of the injury remains unclear.

Zeferjahn (hamstring) is likely unavailable Saturday against the Guardians, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Zeferjahn was removed from Friday's game with the hamstring issue. The exact timeline for his return remains unclear, though the Angels' bullpen looks likely to be shorthanded again Saturday.

Moncada (thumb) will likely be sidelined until Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Moncada was removed from Friday's game and was absent from Saturday's lineup after aggravating a thumb injury. It sounds as if Moncada will be able to avoid a stint on the injured list, and he'll have an extra day to rest with the Angels off Monday.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.

Goldschmidt flied out in the first inning but reached base in each of his subsequent plate appearances. So far, he's hitting an impressive .345 with a homer, three RBI and seven runs scored across 33 plate appearances. The veteran seemed to be on the decline after a career-low .716 OPS in 2024, but hitting atop a potent Yankees lineup could make him a bargain this season.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.

Chisholm stole both second and third base to earn his first two-steal performance of the season. The 27-year-old keeps filling the stat sheet, hitting .242 with four homers, eight RBI, seven runs scored and three steals over 37 plate appearances this season. He should continue to thrive hitting in the middle of a loaded Yankees lineup.
