Gallen allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.

Gallen has been falling victim to the long ball more often lately with eight homers surrendered over his last five starts. The Mariners's J.P. Crawford had two of the homers while Julio Rodriguez swatted the other. May was an inconsistent month for Gallen -- he allowed four or more runs in four of his six starts. He's now at a 5.16 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 42:18 K:BB through 59.1 innings over 12 starts this season. The veteran right-hander's homer problems led to career-worst numbers in 2025, and he's trending in the wrong direction lately. Gallen is projected to make his next start at home in a tough matchup versus the Dodgers.

Arozarena went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and a stolen base in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Arozarena delivered the winning hit, plating J.P. Crawford with a double in the 10th inning to walk it off. Arozarena has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with five RBI and four extra-base hits over his last five games. For the season, the veteran outfielder is batting .297 with an .849 OPS, six home runs, 26 RBI, 38 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and 15 stolen bases over 58 contests.

Raley went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Raley has three multi-hit efforts over his last six games, going 7-for-20 (.350) with two homers in that span. The outfielder is batting .271 with an .896 OPS, 12 long balls, 30 RBI, 21 runs scored, five doubles and one stolen base across 157 plate appearances. Raley continues to be a reliable platoon bat, and he's already over halfway to matching his career-best homer total of 22 from the 2024 season.

Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Rodriguez has gone 14-for-43 (.326) with four homers and nine RBI over his last 10 contests. He's been held hitless just once in that span, which has gotten his season numbers into his typical range of performance. Rodriguez is batting .265 with a .780 OPS, 11 long balls, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored, five stolen bases and 12 doubles through 58 games. He's not running as much this year, as he's logged just seven stolen-base attempts so far.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI, a walk and four total runs scored in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Crawford had a big game atop the lineup, extending his hitting streak to five games. He's gone 8-for-23 (.348) with three homers in that span. The shortstop is still batting just .218 on the year, but he's added a .741 OPS, nine long balls, 22 RBI, 29 runs scored, four doubles and a stolen base over 49 contests. He's just three homers shy of matching his total from 157 regular-season games in 2025, which was the second-best power output of his career.

Munoz allowed a run on two hits and struck out one without walking a batter over one inning, taking a blown save in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Munoz wasn't able to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning, but he didn't let Arizona get ahead. The Mariners then walked it off in the 10th. Munoz has allowed a run in each of his last two outings and has converted just one of his last three save chances as his early struggles have continued in the middle part of the campaign. He's at a 4.98 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 34:7 K:BB through 21.2 innings while converting just nine of 13 save chances. While Munoz has struggled, manager Dan Wilson has largely stuck by his closer -- Jose Ferrer (three) is the only other reliever with multiple saves on the team.

Kirby allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Kirby was pitching well until Arizona's bats got to him in the sixth inning. He's now allowed 15 runs (13 earned) across 17 innings over his last three starts after a stretch of six outings in which he allowed two runs or fewer. Overall, Kirby has a 3.77 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 59:17 K:BB through 74 innings over 12 starts this season. He'll look to right the ship in a home start versus the Mets next week.

Bolte went 3-for-4 in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees.

Bolte wasn't able to generate any runs, but he did his part at the plate. The outfielder's three hits were a new career high in a single game after he logged a trio of two-hit efforts in his first 14 contests. He's batting .319 with a .762 OPS, four RBI, three runs scored, two doubles and four stolen bases through 55 plate appearances, but he's still searching for his first big-league homer. There's still some long-term swing-and-miss concern, but he's struck out at a modest 20.0 percent rate so far in the majors while making enough contact to emerge as a starting option in center field.

Kurtz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees.

Kurtz had gone 12 contests without a homer and three games without a hit entering Friday. He ended both droughts with a long ball in the first inning off Carlos Rodon, though that was only to cut the Athletics' deficit to 4-1 after a rough first inning saw A's starting pitcher Luis Severino (arm) leave the game. Kurtz hasn't displayed as much power early this year as he did in 2025, but when he has, he's done it in bunches. The first baseman is batting .274 with a .900 OPS, 38 RBI, 36 runs scored, six stolen bases, nine homers, 11 doubles and a triple over 56 games.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 win over the Athletics.

McMahon continues to heat up -- he's gone 7-for-25 (.280) with three homers and six RBI over his last seven games. The third baseman is now hitting .200 with a .613 OPS, 19 RBI, 15 runs scored, four doubles and three stolen bases over 158 plate appearances this season. As long as he's hitting well, he should maintain a strong-side platoon role at the hot corner.
