Jung went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and an RBI in Friday's 8-1 loss to the Athletics.

Jung, who had a six-game RBI streak snapped Thursday, got back on it Friday, delivering a two-out ground-rule double to plate the Rangers' lone run in the fourth inning. He immediately stole third base -- his first steal of the season -- but was stranded there. Since a two-game absence attributed to being banged up, Jung has hit safely in 12 of 14 contests, going 19-for-51 (.373) with 12 extra-base hits (three home runs), 11 RBI and nine runs.

Erceg earned the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Angels, surrendering one walk with two strikeouts in a hitless and scoreless ninth inning.

Erceg has had a couple rough outings this month, blowing a pair of saves while allowing multiple runs two times in nine appearances, but he's now had back-to-back clean games and is tied for fifth in the majors with his six saves. Erceg has a 5.23 ERA and 7:8 K:BB across 10.1 innings.

Cameron (2-1) picked up the win Friday against the Angels, allowing three runs on eight hits and three walks with six strikeouts across 6.1 innings.

Cameron threw all five of his pitches at least 10 times, and his fastball velocity was up to 92.7 mph after averaging 91.7 mph in the early going this season. The left-hander did enough to pick up his first quality start of the season, and it was the first time he's gone at least six innings in a start in 2026. Prior to Friday, Cameron had surrendered five earned runs in back-to-back outings. With the win Friday, he lowered his ERA to 5.13 and now has a 23:9 K:BB across 26.1 innings.

Osuna started in left field and went 0-for-2 in Friday's 8-1 loss to the Athletics.

This marked Osuna's second straight start in left field, as the Rangers adapt to life without Wyatt Langford (forearm), who was added to the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Thus far, manager Skip Schumaker has gotten by with a rotation of the lefty-batting Osuna and right-handed-hitting Ezequiel Duran in left field, although it may not be a strict platoon going forward.

Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt told Tim Stebbins of MLB.com the decision to rest Kwan on Friday after Thursday's off day was not due to health. Kwan eventually entered Friday's 8-6 win over Toronto in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement.

Vogt said he was looking to get Kwan a two-day rest and using the off day was a way to accomplish that. In a related discussion, the manager downplayed the impact of Kwan playing both left and center field this season on the outfielder's offensive production. "I don't think it's affecting his bat by any means," Vogt said. "I think it's just a new workload for him that he's never had in the big leagues." Kwan carried a .227/.315/.289 slash line through 25 games into Friday. For comparison, he slashed .343/.398/.505 over the first 25 games in 2025.

Doyle went 1-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and a stolen base Friday against the Mets.

Doyle was out of the lineup for Colorado's prior two games, though he returned to start in center field Friday. He played a key role in the team's fifth-inning rally, singling to center before coming around to score. Doyle later swiped his sixth bag of the season, four of which have come in his last 10 games. Despite the strong showing Friday, Doyle is hitting only .219 with two RBI and 11 runs scored across 26 games to begin the campaign.

McCarthy went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI on Friday against the Mets.

McCarthy split the outfield with a line drive in the sixth inning to drive in a run to give the Rockies the lead. He now has a four-game hitting streak, and he has also maintained a .360 batting average with four RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base across his last 10 games. McCarthy has served as a part-time starter this season, though Friday marked his third consecutive start.

Schneemann started at second base, batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Friday's 8-6 win over the Blue Jays.

With regular leadoff batter Steven Kwan rested Friday, Schneemann found himself at the top of the Guardians' order and rewarded manager Stephen Vogt's decision by belting a leadoff home run. It was the third homer of the season for Schneemann, whose .989 OPS surprisingly leads the team. The versatile infielder-outfielder has been used all over the field through the first month of the season, but Schneemann could find a home at the keystone, where Cleveland ranks 27th with a .195 average from its second basemen.

Trevino (back) went 2-for-2 with two runs scored in a rehab game for High-A Dayton on Friday.

As planned, Trevino caught five innings for the Dragons, which sets up the veteran backstop to rejoin the Reds for Sunday's series finale against Detroit. He's expected to return to a backup role behind primary starter Tyler Stephenson.

McLain went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 9-8 win over the Tigers.

McLain launched a pair of two-run homers in consecutive plate appearances -- in the fifth and seventh innings -- to bring the Reds back from an early 5-0 deficit. He emerged from an offensive malaise during Cincinnati's recently completed road trip, and McLain brought the offense home to Great American Ball Park on Friday. The second baseman has hit safely in five consecutive games, going 7-for-23 with four extra-base hits and five RBI.
