  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Scores thrice in win

    Keaschall went 3-for-6 with three runs scored in Saturday's 16-8 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Keaschall was limited to singles in this contest, but he was one of four Twins to log at least three hits. The second baseman has gone 14-for-38 (.368) over his last 11 contests, though just three of those hits have gone for extra bases. On the year, he's batting .259 with a .677 OPS, two home runs, 24 RBI, 38 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and 11 stolen bases over 72 contests.

  • Ryan Kreidler SS | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Kreidler: Plates four in win

    Kreidler went 3-for-4 with a triple, a walk, four RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 16-8 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Kreidler had a big performance from the bottom of the lineup. The utility man has had trouble getting into the lineup lately, starting just three of the last eight games, but he's hitting .296 (8-for-27) in June with four extra-base hits and nine RBI over 16 contests. Overall, he's batting .270 with an .892 OPS, four home runs, two triples, three doubles, 18 RBI and 15 runs scored across 85 plate appearances. Kreidler isn't being strictly platooned, but he's more likely to get into the lineup versus southpaws.

  • Brooks Lee 3B | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Four hits in high-scoring win

    Lee went 4-for-6 with a triple, a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 16-8 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Lee has collected four extra-base hits over his last four games. He led the charge with four of the Twins' hits Saturday, making him one of six Minnesota batters to log multiple hits in the contest. The infielder is batting .245 with a .736 OPS, 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 36 runs scored, 11 doubles, two triples and three stolen bases over 74 contests this season. Even with the big effort Saturday, Lee is hitting just .217 in June.

  • Byron Buxton CF | MIN

    Twins' Byron Buxton: Grand slam in blowout win

    Buxton went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 16-8 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Buxton had struggled to get in on the hit parade until he lifted a grand slam in the fifth inning. The Twins ran their tally up to 16 by the end of the frame, and Buxton was lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth. The outfielder has gone 18-for-50 (.360) with seven homers and 13 RBI over his last 13 contests. For the season, he's hitting .273 with a .927 OPS, 24 homers, 40 RBI, 52 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 66 contests. Buxton is on pace to surpass his career high of 35 homers from last year, assuming he can stay relatively healthy.

  • Taj Bradley SP | MIN

    Twins' Taj Bradley: Yields two runs in win

    Bradley (6-3) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Bradley pitched well and got plenty of support from the Twins' offense, exiting with a 16-2 lead. The right-hander snapped a four-game winless stretch, during which he had allowed 17 runs over 19.2 innings. For the season, Bradley has a 4.11 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 84:32 K:BB across 76.2 innings through 14 starts. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Rockies, which should be a favorable matchup.

  • Yennier Cano RP | BAL

    Orioles' Yennier Cano: Cleans up mess for save

    Cano allowed a hit and struck out one while walking none over two-thirds of a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

    Baltimore didn't want to go back to Ryan Helsley after the closer took a blown save Friday in just his second appearance returning from elbow inflammation. Andrew Kittredge was initially given the save opportunity, but he allowed a solo home run to Shohei Ohtani and then put Freddie Freeman aboard with a walk. Cano was next in line, and while he allowed a single and an error to let an inherited runner score, he was able to keep the lead for his first save of the season. He has been charged with just one unearned run over 6.1 innings in June, adding a 9:1 K:BB and two holds over nine outings. He's at a 2.08 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB through 26 innings with one save and six holds overall this year. Cano has also allowed only four of 20 inherited runners to score, an improvement on last year when he permitted 10 of 21 inherited runners to score.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Quiets Dodgers

    Rogers (4-7) allowed one hit and two walks while striking out six over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Rogers was locked in for his best outing of the season and his first scoreless showing since Opening Day. He threw 60 of 96 pitches for strikes in the dominant performance against a tough opponent. Rogers has given up just six runs and just one homer over 23.1 innings in June, but overall he has a 5.30 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB over 73 innings through 14 starts this season. After a six-start losing streak from mid-April to late May, the left-hander has a 2.97 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in his past five outings.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Picks up steal

    Yoshida went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Mariners.

    Yoshida has hit safely in his last five games, going 6-for-18 (.333) in that span. The 32-year-old has settled into a part-time role lately as he battles Mickey Gasper for playing time at designated hitter. Yoshida is hitting .248 on the year and has added a .660 OPS, one home run, two steals, 10 RBI and 15 runs scored over 164 plate appearances. His plate discipline remains pretty good, but with less power than ever, Yoshida doesn't add much in fantasy.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Notches two steals

    Durbin went 2-for-4 with one RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Mariners.

    Durbin was the only hitter for either team to log multiple hits in the contest. He is 6-for-11 with two homers, three RBI and a double over his last three contests as he works to shake off his slump from earlier in June. On the season, the third baseman is hitting .208 with a .616 OPS, five home runs, seven steals, 29 RBI and 25 runs scored over 67 games. Despite the underwhelming offense, Durbin continues to have an everyday role, sitting just once in Boston's past 20 games.

  • Wilyer Abreu RF | BOS

    Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Hits go-ahead homer

    Abreu went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Mariners.

    Abreu's blast put the Red Sox ahead in the fourth inning, and they never looked back. The outfielder has gone deep twice over his last eight games, batting .290 (9-for-31) in that span. On the season, he's hitting .275 with a .767 OPS, nine homers, 36 RBI, 33 runs scored, five stolen bases, 16 doubles and a triple over 73 games. After primarily working as a platoon player in previous seasons, Abreu is handling more of an everyday role in 2026, having already set a career high with 90 plate appearances versus left-handed pitching. He's taken advantage of the additional opportunities with a .921 OPS against southpaws.
