Osuna swatted a solo homer for his second roundtripper in the AFL. The 22-year-old outfielder has impressed in Arizona with a .389 average and 1.146 OPS. Osuna will likely be depth for the Rangers in 2025, but there’s some long-term upside in his bat.

What a series for Pages; he had three hits in all three games, finishing 10-for-12 with three doubles to go along with the homer. He also homered against the Cubs both Tuesday and Wednesday. His OPS has climbed from .544 all of the way to .861 over the last week, and he might as well be tried in mixed leagues until he cools off.

Casparius was credited with the win, making him 3-0 with a 2.91 ERA in 21 1/3 innings. He was expected to start Wednesday’s game, though if that happens now, it’d probably be a shorter outing, given that he’d be on two days’ rest after throwing 54 pitches. If he winds up getting a real look as a starter in Glasnow’s place, he’d be intriguing.

Gómez pitched three scoreless frames and struck out four to finish out a 9-2 game. The 25-year-old righty was picked up Friday after being DFA’d by the Yankees. He’ll likely mostly pitch in low leverage situations.

Falter’s middling arsenal doesn’t really hold up very well against lineups like the Dodgers’ starting nine. He also gave up seven runs to the Yankees earlier this season. He has a 3.28 ERA against the Marlins, Reds, Nationals and Angels, though. He’ll face the Padres next.

Hernández was removed for a pinch-hitter afterwards, but that was probably due to the 9-2 score. The homer was his third in four games and eighth of 2025. Next up for him is his 200th career double; he entered the day with 199 of those, too.

There’s a good chance the Pirates cost themselves a game or two by not simply shutting down Bryan Reynolds when he was hurting earlier this season and instead benching McCutchen and using an injured player at DH. That’s in the past now; Reynolds is healthy and back in right field, allowing McCutchen to resume his DH duties. One of McCutchen’s singles today left the bat at 110.2 mph, his hardest-hit ball since 2022. He’s hitting .276/.368/.447 in 87 plate appearances.

The 28-year-old slugger did his damage during the first inning of this one, crushing a Max Meyer first-pitch fastball for a 368-foot (101.2 mph EV) solo shot. The Big Dumper now leads the league with his 10 long balls and it’s the first time in his career that he has hit 10 or more homers in a single month. On the season, he’s slashing .229/.333/.560 to go along with the aforementioned 10 dingers, 17 RBI and three stolen bases.

The 31-year-old infielder did his damage in the second inning of this one, smacking a two-out, RBI double off of Max Meyer that increased the Mariners’ early lead to 4-1. He then tacked on a two-out RBI single in the fourth inning that made it a 5-1 ballgame. Polanco was also hit by a pitch in the contest, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. He’s has been terrific through the first month of the season, slashing .377/.405/.739 with seven homers, 20 RBI and a stolen base.

The Mariners’ lead had been much more comfortable until Connor Norby crushed a three-run homer in the eighth inning to make it a one-run game. Muñoz made it look easy though, getting Xavier Edwards on a called third strike before getting Jesus Sanchez and Agustín Ramírez each to ground out to second base to end it. Muñoz has now converted each of his first 10 save chances on the season and he has yet to allow a run through his first 14 innings on the season.

The 23-year-old right-hander walked three and struck out three in the ballgame. He served up a long solo homer to Agustín Ramírez in the opening inning, then kept the Marlins at bay until they scratched out a run in his final inning of work. Evans got four swings and misses on 78 pitches on the day, posting an underwhelming CSW of only 17 percent. It sounds like he’ll get an opportunity to continue to work out of Logan Gilbert’s spot in the rotation, which means he’ll get the ball again on Sunday against the Rangers in Arlington.
