Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday in a 3-2 win against the Dodgers.

Marte struck out twice and was unable to reach base in his first four plate appearances. However, he played hero in the ninth inning, belting a 431-foot solo homer to left field to give Arizona a comeback win. Marte has driven in at least one run in his first three games to begin June and has clubbed two homers, scored three runs and driven in four over that span despite going just 2-for-12.

Wrobleski tossed six scoreless innings against Arizona on Thursday, allowing six hits and striking out four batters without issuing a walk in a no-decision.

The southpaw again pounded the strike zone and pitched to contact, throwing 61 of 84 pitches for strikes and notching a modest seven whiffs. Wrobleski picked up his second straight quality start and has now registered four outings of six-plus innings and zero runs this season. He has twice yielded five-plus runs in a start, but he's also given up zero or one run on seven different occasions. That adds up to a very nice 2.62 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 7-2 record along with a 44:14 K:BB through 68.2 frames spanning 11 appearances (10 starts). While his lack of big strikeout numbers dings his fantasy appeal, Wrobleski has been a nice surprise, especially given that he entered 2026 without a guaranteed spot in the rotation.

Nelson allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over seven innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.

The right-hander began his outing with four hitless innings before Kyle Tucker singled off him to begin the fifth. Nelson departed after seven innings down 2-0, but a late Diamondbacks rally took him off the hook. He threw 94 pitches (62 strikes) while recording his fifth quality start in his past six appearances. He's had a couple blowups this season, but since the beginning of May, Nelson has pitched to a solid 2.89 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 46.2 frames spanning seven starts.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in a 5-1 win against Houston on Thursday.

O'Hearn kicked off the scoring with an RBI single in the third inning. He later hit Pittsburgh's only homer of the game with a two-run shot to right field in the sixth. Thursday marked O'Hearn's fourth game since he returned from a stay on the injured list due to a quad injury. He hasn't missed a beat, batting .357 (5-for-14) with two homers and four RBI over those four contests.

Teng (3-4) took the loss against Pittsburgh on Thursday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out one batter over five-plus innings.

Teng gave up a run on two hits in the first inning but faced the minimum over his subsequent three frames. The right-hander allowed two baserunners while getting through a scoreless fifth, but things fell apart for him in the sixth. In that inning, Teng allowed four straight hits -- including a two-run homer -- before he was pulled without having recorded an out. That was enough for Teng to end up with the loss in a game during which the Astros' offense managed just one run. Thursday marked the first time this season that Teng has surrendered more than three runs in an outing, and the lack of swing-and-miss stuff ended his three-game stretch of recording six-plus strikeouts. He still holds a strong 3.06 ERA along with a 1.17 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB over 47 innings spanning 19 appearances (six starts).

Buxton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 8-6 loss to Kansas City.

Buxton wasted no time getting Minnesota on the board, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a 430-foot solo homer off Seth Lugo to tie the game. The blast was his 18th of the season, as he sits at the fourth-most long balls in MLB. The veteran outfielder also added a second hit and a walk as he continues to be productive following his recent return from hip issues. Since rejoining the lineup, Buxton is batting 14-for-56 (.250) with three homers across 14 games.

Clemens went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Thursday's 8-6 loss to the Royals.

Clemens gave Minnesota an offensive jolt Thursday by taking Seth Lugo deep twice, with both blasts coming as solo shots. The homers were his seventh and eighth of the season and marked the second multi-homer game of his major-league career. The versatile infielder continues to swing a hot bat, going deep four times over his last eight games. Since May 10, Clemens is batting 25-for-87 (.287) with an .828 OPS across 22 contests.

Mlodzinski notched a save against the Astros on Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out three batters over four innings.

Mlodzinski made his first appearance since he was moved out of the rotation and subsequently had a short stay on the restricted list. The right-hander followed Jared Jones, who pitched five scoreless innings, and tossed 55 pitches (36 strikes), with the only run against him coming on an Isaac Paredes solo homer. Mlodzinski notched the second save of his career (and first since 2023), but it's unlikely that he'll be in line for many additional save opportunities. He may continue to piggyback with Jones while the latter eases up his pitch count.

Lange earned the save Thursday against the Twins, allowing one hit and one walk with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

With Kansas City recently shifting toward a matchup-based approach in the ninth inning, Lange was called upon again to protect a two-run lead. The right-hander worked around a hit and a walk, allowing the potential winning run to come to the plate before inducing a game-ending groundout from Brooks Lee to secure his second save of the season and his second in as many days. Lange has been effective lately, holding opponents scoreless in 10 of his last 11 appearances, and he could continue to see additional save opportunities if the Royals stick with their current committee approach. He owns a 4.18 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a 28:15 K:BB across 28 innings.

Rogers (1-3) took the loss Thursday against the Royals, allowing two runs on two hits over two-thirds of an inning

Rogers entered with two outs in the eighth inning of a tie game and retired Vinnie Pasquantino to help end the frame. However, things unraveled when he returned for the ninth. The veteran left-hander allowed back-to-back singles to open the inning before a sacrifice bunt moved both runners into scoring position, prompting his removal. Justin Lawrence was unable to bail him out, allowing both inherited runners to score and saddling Rogers with the loss. After posting nine consecutive scoreless appearances, Rogers has now allowed runs in two of his last three outings and owns a 4.63 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB across 23.1 innings this year, adding two saves and six holds.
