Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a double, two total runs and four total RBI in a 7-6 win against Baltimore on Thursday.

Guerrero knocked in a run with a double in the first inning, belted a two-run homer in the fifth and added an RBI triple in the sixth. He finished a single shy of a cycle and extended his hitting streak to 20 games in the process. The slugger has been absolutely absurd during the streak, slashing .507/.575/1.096 with 10 homers, 22 RBI, 23 runs and an 11:7 BB:K.

Kremer (4-9) took the loss against Toronto on Thursday, allowing five runs on four hits and five walks while striking out six batters over 4.1 innings.

Kremer fell behind 3-0 after one frame and never moved out of position to take the loss after that, as the bulk of Baltimore's runs came in a ninth-inning rally that fell just short. Poor control was partly to blame for Kremer's struggles, as he walked a season-high five batters, two of whom came around to score. Kremer has lost each of his past four decisions and has posted a 5.66 ERA along with a 17:11 K:BB across 20.2 frames during that span.

Green posted a save against the Orioles on Thursday, allowing one run on two hits while striking out one batter over one inning.

It didn't look like Green would be needed in the contest with Toronto carrying a 7-2 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning. However, reliever Zach Pop couldn't record an out while loading the bases, so Green was brought in to contain the damage. He didn't do remarkably well himself, as a fielder's choice, a double and a single allowed Baltimore to bring the deficit to within one run. However, Green was able to get Anthony Santander to fly out with the tying run on first base to end the threat and record his 10th save. Green hasn't blown a save this season and is firmly entrenched in the closer role with Yimi Garcia now in Seattle and Jordan Romano uncertain to return in 2024 due to an elbow injury.

Gausman (10-8) earned the win over Baltimore on Thursday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two batters over eight innings.

The only runs against Gausman came on Colton Cowser's two-run homer in the third inning. The veteran hurler yielded only one hit outside of that frame and retired the final eight batters he faced. Gausman notched his fourth quality start over six outings since the beginning of July, and he's gone 4-1 with a 3.70 ERA across 41.1 frames during that span. Despite that solid stretch, Gausman continues to underwhelm in the strikeout department -- he has just 30 punchouts over the aforementioned 41.1-inning span and is on track to average fewer than a strikeout per inning for the first time since 2018.

Cabrera hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

Cabrera entered as a defensive replacement at shortstop in the eighth inning as a result of Anthony Volpe departing after fouling a ball off his foot earlier in the contest. Cabrera made the most of his lone plate appearance, swatting a solo shot to left field in the ninth frame. It was his second homer in as many games, and though X-rays on Volpe's foot came back clean, Cabrera could see an uptick in playing time if the former is forced to miss any contests.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

Chisholm hit four homers over his first three games after joining New York at the trade deadline, but he came into Thursday in a bit of a rut with no long balls or RBI and a .174 batting average over six games since. He snapped the homer and RBI drought with a solo shot in the second inning, though he also struck out for the eighth time over his past four contests. Chisholm can be a bit streaky, but his overall numbers make for a strong fantasy asset, as he's slashing .250/.322/.430 with 18 homers, 59 RBI, 54 runs and 24 stolen bases over 109 games on the campaign.

Adell went 2-for-5 with a double, a run and three RBI on Thursday in a 9-4 win against the Yankees.

Adell broke the game open in the fifth inning with a bases-clearing double that gave Los Angeles a 7-1 lead. The outfielder extended his hitting streak to seven contests, though this was the first time during that span that he's posted multiple hits. The double was also only the second extra-base hit during Adell's modest hitting streak, and he had knocked in just one run over that period before racking up the three RBI on Thursday.

Neto went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Thursday's 9-4 win against the Yankees.

After going 4-for-9 with eight RBI during Wednesday's twin bill, Neto racked up three more hits to push his batting line to 7-for-12 during the three-game set. The shortstop has collected at least one RBI in four of his past five games and has tallied a total of 13 runs batted in during that stretch. Neto also has at least one extra-base hit in each contest across the five-game span.

Schanuel went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 9-4 win against the Yankees on Thursday.

Schanuel popped a solo homer in the first inning and added an RBI single in the third. He recorded his seventh multi-hit effort over 19 contests since the All-Star break. During that stretch, Schanuel is batting .328 (21-for-64) with four homers, nine RBI, 15 runs and a 13:14 BB:K.

Cortes (5-10) took the loss against the Angels on Thursday, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings.

Cortes gave up a modest two runs through four frames but then fell apart in the fifth. In that inning, Los Angeles got to him for three hits and a walk, and all four of those baserunners eventually came around to score (though two crossed the plate following his departure). Of the nine total hits Cortes allowed, four -- three doubles and a homer -- went for extra bases. The left-hander has struggled of late, yielding 24 earned runs over his past 23.1 frames.
