Yamamoto (3-3) allowed five runs on six hits and struck out eight without walking a batter over 6.1 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Giants.

Yamamoto's line could have been worse, but all three homers against him were solo shots. He gave up just 14 long balls over 173.2 regular-season innings last year, but opponents are having more success against him in 2026 with eight homers across 50 innings this year. The star right-hander is at a 3.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 48:10 K:BB through eight starts, and he's given up at least three runs in each of his last four outings. Yamamoto will look to get back on track in a tough road matchup versus the Padres next week.

Triple-A Norfolk activated Trimble (hamstring) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Trimble wound up missing a bit over a month of action due to right hamstring discomfort, but he's back in action for Norfolk following a seven-game rehab assignment with the Single-A and High-A clubs. The 25-year-old outfielder made a splash in his return to the Triple-A level Tuesday, blasting a three-run homer in his second game with the Tides this year.

Latz earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday by retiring all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.

Latz didn't look like he would get a chance to close with Texas leading 7-1 entering the ninth. However, Gavin Collyer failed to register an out while walking three batters and giving up a single, so Latz was called upon to put out the flames. The lefty allowed a pair of inherited runners to score but did his job successfully, getting three outs on 12 pitches. He seems to have settled in as the Rangers' closer, collecting a save in five of his past six appearances while posting a minuscule 0.83 ERA and 0.42 WHIP along with a 17:4 K:BB across 21.2 innings on the campaign.

Bader went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

Bader's blast tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning. The outfielder exited the game for pinch hitter Drew Gilbert in the seventh, which is likely part of the plan to help Bader ease back in after a month-long absence due to a hamstring strain. Bader is batting .136 with two homers, four RBI, five runs scored and no stolen bases over 62 plate appearances this season. He's likely to handle a starting role in center field, but if he can't dig out of his early slump, the right-handed-hitting Bader could cede some at-bats to the left-handed Gilbert, at least against right-handed pitchers.

Haase went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

Haase got the Giants on the board in the third inning with his first homer this year. He followed it up by going back-to-back with Harrison Bader in the fifth. This was Haase's first multi-hit effort of the campaign as well. He's gone 6-for-18 (.333) with four RBI and two doubles across six games. For now, he's sharing the catching duties with Jesus Rodriguez, though Daniel Susac (elbow) will likely be in the mix soon since he's on a rehab assignment. It's unclear if Haase has shown enough in limited action to maintain a spot on the big-league roster once Susac is healthy, but a performance like Tuesday's will certainly help him build his case.

Jones (elbow) threw four scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out four in a rehab appearance with Double-A Altoona on Tuesday, per MLB.com.

This marked Jones' third rehab start and was his longest outing. However, his pitch count remained stable, as he threw 52 total pitches, 36 of which went for strikes. Jones will likely make a few more rehab appearances; so far, he's allowed only one earned run across 10 innings while maintaining an 11:1 K:BB.

Gore (3-3) earned the win over Arizona on Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five batters over eight innings.

Gore served up a solo homer in the second inning, but that was the only run the Diamondbacks put on board against him. The lefty's eight frames were a season high -- he previously hadn't gone more than six innings -- and he needed just 95 pitches to go that deep. Gore had pitched to a poor 7.58 ERA over his previous four starts coming into Tuesday, so this was a much-needed turnaround. He's slated for a road matchup in the thin Colorado air his next time out.

Perez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the White Sox.

Perez crushed an outside sinker from Erick Fedde over the right-field fence for a solo homer to give the Royals an early 2-0 lead in the first frame, though Kansas City was unable to hold on in a disappointing defeat. The veteran backstop has long staved off Father Time, but he has shown notable decline offensively so far in 2026. Through 40 games, the 36-year-old is slashing .197/.238/.344 with six homers, five doubles, 18 RBI and 15 runs. Tuesday snapped a four-game hitless streak for Perez, who will look to build on the performance and heat up at the plate moving forward.

Kilian struck out one over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

Kilian was left a bit of a mess from Sam Hentges in the eighth inning, but he got Andy Pages to line out to end the threat. Kilian then retired the side in order in the ninth to pick up the second save of his career. He's regressed a bit after a dominant April, allowing three runs (two earned) with a 3:5 K:BB across 5.1 innings in May. Kilian is at a 1.40 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB with two saves and two holds over 19.1 innings this season. He's the current favorite for saves in the Giants' bullpen, though he may end up sharing the closing duties once Erik Miller (back) returns. That said, Kilian's ratios, aside from a high walk rate, are enticing enough to be of value to fantasy managers chasing saves.

Rooney (elbow) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

After undergoing elbow surgery in September, Rooney is back healthy and ready to continue his development in the minors. The 29-year-old left-hander made three rehab appearances at the High-A level on a rehab assignment before being reinstated, working around two walks and fanning one in a scoreless inning for Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.
