Adell went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Adell recently endured a 3-for-54 stretch over 17 games from May 21 to June 9. He's matched that number of hits over his last two games, going 3-for-8 as he starts to get his bat back on track in Arizona. The outfielder began the season in good form but fell off pace significantly in May, leaving him at a .198/.262/.441 slash line through 195 plate appearances. He's added 12 homers, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and nine stolen bases this season, all of which are career highs for the 25-year-old.

Neto went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, one additional RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Neto hit a solo shot in the second inning and an RBI double in the sixth for his second multi-hit effort in June. The shortstop has gone 8-for-35 (.229) this month, though five of those hits have gone for extra bases, and he's added eight RBI over 10 contests. For the season, he's at a .250/.300/.424 slash line with eight homers, 26 RBI, 24 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 15 doubles through 240 plate appearances.

Soriano (4-5) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over eight-plus innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

This was the longest outing of Soriano's career, and it was a good one. He had plenty of run support early and pitched into the ninth inning, ending the start with 97 pitches (63 strikes). He's quickly becoming one of the Angels' most reliable starters, having covered at least six innings in five straight appearances. He's at a 3.48 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 60:28 K:BB through 72.1 innings over 14 appearances (12 starts) this year. The 25-year-old's strikeout numbers have taken a hit from where they were last year when he was a reliever, but there's still value in a pitcher that can eat innings. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Brewers.

Robert hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Robert was able to extend the contest with his game-tying blast in the ninth inning. The outfielder has four homers over eight games since he returned from a hip injury, but he's added just one other hit while posting a 3:13 BB:K in that span. He's up to six homers on the year with a .196/.250/.554 slash line through 60 plate appearances. Robert is still seeing steady rest given his lengthy injury history, though his power is a welcome addition to a fairly punchless lineup -- he already has the fourth most homers among White Sox batters this year.

Wilson (1-3) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk in one-third of an inning, taking the extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.

Wilson missed three weeks with a back strain, and this was his first appearance back. While he threw 10 of 14 pitches for strikes -- his walk was an intentional one to Dominic Canzone -- Wilson ended up with the loss when Mitch Haniger hit a walk-off single. Through 19.1 innings this season, Wilson has a 2.79 ERA despite a 1.34 WHIP and 19:15 K:BB. He's added six holds and a blown save, so there's a chance he'll see some high-leverage work, though there's not much of that to go around for the worst team in the majors.

Cannon allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Wednesday.

Cannon dueled with Seattle starter Bryce Miller for seven innings, but the Mariners struck first when Luke Raley hit a solo home run in the seventh. This was still Cannon's best start of the season, and it appears he'll have a chance to stick in the rotation for a while following the White Sox's recent reshuffling of their pitching staff. The 23-year-old is at a 4.56 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB over 23.2 innings over five appearances (four starts). Mike Clevinger (elbow) is expected to require a rehab assignment prior to returning to the Chicago rotation, and since that has yet to be announced, it seems likely Cannon will take the mound during next week's home series versus the Astros, especially after the right-hander's strong showing in Seattle.

Raley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Raley opened the scoring with a seventh-inning blast, and he also scored the winning run in the 10th as Mitch Haniger's single knocked him in. Over 11 games in June, Raley has gone 9-for-32 (.281) with three homers and six RBI. The outfielder is at a .264/.310/.442 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI, 22 runs scored and five stolen bases over 174 plate appearances this season. Raley is in a strong-side platoon role in left field, sharing the position with Victor Robles.

Miller allowed two hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Wednesday.

Miller rebounded from his worst start of the year by producing his third scoreless outing in 2024. Two of those scoreless efforts have come over his three starts in June. The 25-year-old has a 3.48 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 80:24 K:BB over 82.2 innings through 14 starts this season as he continues to impress as part of the Mariners' strong rotation. Miller's next start is projected to be a challenging road outing in Cleveland.

Pivetta did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Phillies, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks with four strikeouts over four innings.

It was a rough night from the start, as Pivetta allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base and surrendered two runs in each of the first and third innings. The four walks were a season high, and he allowed at least one baserunner in every inning. Pivetta has been inconsistent this season, with six starts of two or fewer earned runs and three starts yielding five. On the season, Pivetta owns a 3.88 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 55:13 K:BB in nine starts and lines up against the Blue Jays next Monday.

Jansen earned a save against the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing one run on one hit and a walk with one strikeout.

Tasked with protecting a three-run lead in the ninth inning, Jansen allowed Bryce Harper to score after a leadoff double but was able to lock up his first save since May 26. While it was a long stretch between save chances, Jansen is now 10-for-11 on the season and has not blown a save since April 16. He currently owns a 2.91 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB in 21.2 innings.
