Keith went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.

Keith got only two at-bats before getting pulled for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, but he still made an impact when he took Nathan Eovaldi deep in the fifth. After going the first 62 games of the year without leaving the yard, the 24-year-old has tallied all six of his long balls across his last 18 contests. During that span, Keith has an .869 OPS, compared to his .678 mark overall.

Lopez went 3-for-5 with a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over Detroit.

Lopez extended his hit streak to nine games, during which the infielder is 13-for-29 (.448) with two steals on four attempts, three RBI and five runs scored. Whether at second base or shortstop, Lopez has thrived since joining the Rangers, slashing .355/.388/.409 over 31 games, and there's plenty of playing time available while Corey Seager (back) and Wyatt Langford (hamstring) are on the shelf and Ezequiel Duran spends more time in the outfield.

Carter went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over the Tigers.

Carter opened the game on the bench, which is usually the case when the Rangers face a left-hander, but he made an impact late with a pinch hit single in the seventh inning and then a homer an inning later. Since returning from the injured list, Carter is 4-for-11 with the one long ball and three additional runs scored over four contests.

Fry entered Thursday's game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and belted a solo home run in a 6-5 win over the White Sox.

Fry homered for the second time in as many games after delivering a three-run shot in a win over the Rangers a day earlier. Thursday's homer closed the Guardians' deficit to one run, setting up Brayan Rocchio's walk-off homer in the ninth. Fry finished the game in left field after pinch hitting for rookie Cooper Ingle, who committed his second outfield error in as many games. The rookie is just 1-for-14 with seven strikeouts since his call-up, which could lead to Fry getting more opportunities in the outfield.

Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Thursday's 6-5 win over the White Sox.

Rocchio played the hero Thursday, delivering a walk-off, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was the second walk-off blast of his career, with the other coming in Game 162 last year as the Guardians celebrated winning the AL Central title. Rocchio, who has hit safely in eight consecutive starts, is slashing .269/.342/.392 with six home runs, 37 RBI and 35 runs over 85 contests this season.

Urena (5-7) allowed one run on one hit and four walks while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings in a loss to Seattle on Thursday.

Urena and Seattle starter Bryce Miller went toe-to-toe for five scoreless innings, but Urena folded in the sixth, when he walked three batters and gave up a double to allow a run to cross the plate. That ended up being the only time the Mariners scored in the contest, but it was enough to hand Urena the loss since the Angels were blanked. Despite the defeat, there were plenty of positives for the right-hander, who racked up 17 whiffs and six punchouts while rebounding nicely from a seven-run, 4.1-inning dud in his previous appearance. Urena has pitched pretty well overall so far during his rookie campaign. Through 16 appearances (14 starts), he has a 3.03 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 75:41 K:BB over 77.1 innings.

Munoz earned a save against the Angels on Thursday, allowing two hits and walking one batter in one scoreless inning.

Munoz had little margin for error when he took over in the ninth frame, as Seattle held a meager 1-0 lead. The veteran closer allowed the first two batters he faced to reach base and yielded three total baserunners in the inning, but a caught stealing helped him escape without blowing the save. The unsteadiness has been typical for Munoz this season -- he's recorded 16 saves but has also blown five opportunities while posting an uncharacteristic 4.60 ERA ad 1.34 WHIP. Nonetheless, he's locked into the closer role and has now successfully converted each of his past seven save chances.

Miller (4-2) earned the win over the Angels on Thursday, completing seven scoreless innings during which he allowed two hits and struck out eight batters without issuing any walks.

Miller and Angels starter Walbert Urena put up matching goose eggs until Seattle broke through for a run in the sixth inning. That ended up being all the Mariners needed, as Miller combined with two relievers for a shutout. The right-hander completely dominated Los Angeles, taking a no-hitter into the seventh frame before getting tagged for a pair of singles. He tallied 15 whiffs and eight punchouts to help snap a two-game losing streak. Miller got a late start to the campaign, as an oblique strain delayed his 2026 debut until May 13. However, he's been exceptional since joining the rotation, posting a 1.71 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 62:5 K:BB over 52.2 innings spanning nine appearances (eight starts).

X-rays on Robles' injured right forearm came back negative Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Robles was hit by a 97.9-mph sinker from Walbert Urena in the bottom of the third inning and was replaced in the outfield in the top of the fifth. Robles was on in relief of an injured Julio Rodriguez, who left the game in the third frame after he was hit in the back of the helmet on a throw from Nolan Schanuel in the first inning. Weston Wilson finished the game in right field for Seattle, as Luke Raley kicked over to center field. Robles seems to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.

Lee went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Rangers on Thursday.

Lee struck out three times, but he still finished with a strong fantasy line due to his two-run blast in the fifth inning. The homer extended his on-base streak to 11 games, during which Lee is batting .343 (12-for-35) with two homers and five RBI. With Gleyber Torres (oblique) on the IL and likely still at least several weeks away from returning, Lee has a path to regular playing time. He's started at second base in five of Detroit's past six contests.
