Sánchez hits the shelf ahead of Monday’s game against the Yankees, his former team. It’ll be Maverick Handley coming up from Triple-A Norfolk to take his spot on Baltimore’s active roster as franchise cornerstone Adley Rutschman’s primary caddy.

O’Hearn’s third-inning blast against Yankees starter Will Warren gave Baltimore a commanding three-run advantage, which they wouldn’t relinquish. The 31-year-old slugger has gone deep five times this season and is hitting .300 (21-for-70) through 21 games.

Bautista got the call to protect a one-run lead in the final frame and turned in an impressive performance, striking out Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger to preserve the victory. His final pitch to Bellinger (98.4 mph) was his fastest four-seamer of the year to date. The hard-throwing 29-year-old stopper has converted all four of his save chances this season in his return from Tommy John surgery.

Sugano’s signature splitter was on point this one as he piled up 17 swinging strikes and limited New York’s potent lineup to just five singles and one walk over five scoreless frames. He entered this outing with the lowest strikeout percentage (eight percent) of any qualified starter in baseball this season, so we’re not anticipating a massive uptick in strikeouts moving forward. The 35-year-old veteran has proven to be a viable back-end rotation stabilizer for fantasy purposes, even if he’s not going to miss a ton of bats. He’ll carry a strong 3.00 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 17/6 K/BB ratio across 33 innings (six starts) into a home outing on Sunday against the Royals.

Goodman gave the Rockies a 3-0 lead with his homer off Bryce Elder in the first inning. The 25-year-old has five homers and an OPS of .827 over his 90 at-bats, and he should continue to hit in the middle of the Colorado lineup. That’s not exactly the highest compliment, but it’s something.

Jeffers is finally on the board with his first homer. The caveat is that it came off a 50-mph lob from Will Wilson, as the Guardians finished with a position player pitching for the second game in a row. Jeffers has started 11 of the last 12 games, including two at DH, as the Twins have abandoned their catcher rotation that had seen Jeffers and Christian Vázquez mostly alternate starts the last two years. It wasn’t because Jeffers had been particularly productive, either; this is the first time all year that he’s finished a game with an OPS above .690. Vázquez, though, is currently at .450.

If Naylor is going to hit like Austin Hedges, the Guardians might as well just play Hedges. Naylor is batting .177 with two homers and six RBI in 73 plate appearances. His at-bats tonight produced two mile-high popups and a weak grounder for a combined xBA of .050.
