Guzman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a 7-0 win against the Athletics on Saturday.

Guzman produced the only homer of the game with a 376-foot solo shot to left field in the seventh inning. The 22-year-old has gone deep in back-to-back contests after slugging 12 long balls across 58 games with Triple-A Salt Lake prior to his June 8 call-up. Guzman has been getting steady run for the big-league club, as he's started at third base in nine straight games.

Early (6-5) allowed one run on two hits, two walks and three hit batsmen while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Saturday.

Early threw just 57 of 98 pitches for strikes in this outing, hitting three batters after he had plunked six all season entering the day. He had gone three starts without completing six frames to begin June, losing all of those games while allowing 12 runs over 14.2 innings. Early now has a 3.64 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 79:31 K:BB through 81.2 innings over 15 starts this season. The left-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Yankees.

Hancock (5-4) allowed five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Red Sox.

Hancock has had two bad starts in a row, giving up 11 runs over 9.1 frames in that span. The right-hander struggled in the fourth and sixth innings, and another weak showing from the Mariners' offense provided no room for error. Hancock is now at a 3.60 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 81:19 K:BB over 85 innings across 15 starts this season. His next outing is tentatively projected to be on the road versus the Guardians.

Ginn (5-4) took the loss against the Angels on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings.

Ginn tossed a 1-2-3 first inning but mostly struggled after that. He gave up a pair of runs in the second, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the third and put two runners on base in the sixth, both of whom scored following the hurler's departure. Ginn had tossed at least six frames in six of his previous eight appearances coming into Saturday, so this was a relatively short outing by his recent standards. The right-hander still holds a strong 3.16 ERA through 82.2 frames on the season, and he'll look to get back into the win column his next time out, which is tentatively slated to be a rematch against the Angels.

Urena (5-5) earned the win over the Athletics on Saturday, allowing four hits and striking out six batters while issuing no walks over five scoreless innings.

Urena got the A's to swing and miss 17 times and threw 58 of his 90 pitches for strikes. In addition, the right-hander didn't issue any walks for the first time this season, including his short relief appearances early in the campaign. Urena handed out multiple free passes in six consecutive outings coming into Saturday, so the improved control is notable as he looks to further develop during his first year in the majors. The 22-year-old has been a revelation so far for the Angels, holding a 2.41 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 64:35 K:BB over 67.1 innings spanning 14 appearances (12 starts). Urena has entrenched himself in the rotation and is lined up to face the Athletics again -- this time at home -- in his next start.

Montgomery went 1-for-3 with a walk Saturday against the Tigers.

Montgomery collected four hits across his first two games in the majors, but he entered Saturday's game having collected only two hits in his last 23 at-bats while striking out at a 33.3 percent clip. However, he showed some signs of life at the plate Saturday, collecting a walk in his first plate appearance before following that up with a double in the seventh frame. Montgomery is likely to remain inconsistent, but he has started nine of 10 games since having his contract selected.

Antonacci went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday against the Tigers.

Antonacci accounted for the White Sox's only run with a solo home run to lead off the game. It was his fourth long ball of the season and third in his last six starts. In that span, Antonacci has gone 8-for-19 with three RBI and five runs scored. If he can continue to flash more power, Antonacci has the chance to emerge as a very strong fantasy asset, as he also has 36 runs scored paired with a .293 average and nine stolen bases across 57 contests.

Melton (ankle) has gone 6-for-11 (.545) with a home run, three RBI, five runs scored and two stolen bases over five games during a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Melton, who suffered Grade 2 left ankle sprain back in late April, has since commenced a rehab assignment and is showing no signs of rust. The 25-year-old outfielder is one of Tampa Bay's top prospects, and he should rejoin Triple-A Durham sometime before the end of June if all continues to go well in his recovery.

Caminero went 3-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals.

Caminero extended his on-base streak to 11 games Saturday, picking up three hits for the third time this year in the process. After working from hitter-friendly Steinbrenner Field half the time in 2025, the 22-year-old third baseman has shown no ill effects from Tampa Bay's move back to pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field in 2026. Caminero has a 1.014 OPS at home versus a .746 OPS on the road, slashing .284/.378/.491 with 15 home runs, 12 doubles, 34 RBI and 44 runs scored through 320 plate appearances overall.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals.

Diaz rattled off his third consecutive multi-hit effort Saturday. The 34-year-old designated hitter is pushing for his second career All-Star nod in 2026, slashing a robust .322/.401/.504 with 12 home runs, 11 doubles, 48 RBI and 37 runs scored across 309 plate appearances. Among qualifiers, Diaz ranks first in the American League in batting average.
