Ward was able to smack his 20th homer of the season with a two-run shot off Jake Irvin. Four of those homers have come in June, but he’s hit just .173 with a .630 OPS over his 85 at-bats during the month. Ward runs hot and cold as much as any player in the American League, and you just never know what you’re going to get from week-to-week.

It’s encouraging that Neto was able to get in the box and take his swings at all on Saturday after being held out of the starting lineup for a second consecutive day due to a jammed shoulder. He’s tentatively expected to return to the Angels’ lineup on Saturday.

Adell now has 18 homers on the season, which is two short of his career-high total he posted in the 2024 season. The former top prospect has also registered a career-best .806 OPS over 74 games. And it’s nice to see him coming close — somewhat, anyway — to the bat that was so intriguing as a prep and in the minors. He’s flawed, but at the age of 26, it’s fair to say we haven’t seen the best of Adell just yet.

Soriano was outstanding against the Astros on Saturday. He was the exact opposite of that Friday. The 26-year-old coughed up nine hits and two walks, and while he struck out four, he clearly wasn’t fooling the Washington offense. Amazingly, he and Nationals starter Jake Irvin combined to give up 16 earned runs, and neither gets a decision. Baseball. Soriano will try and find that previous form and lower his 3.99 ERA against Atlanta on Thursday.

The Yankees were probably better off with Giancarlo Stanton on the IL. Domínguez has started just three of the team’s last six games, none of them consecutively. Worse, two of those, including today, were against lefties, and the switch-hitter is batting just .194/.289/.306 against them, compared to .277/.360/.432 against righties. He had a big game Wednesday, going 4-for-5, in his only start against a righty all week; he sat against them both Tuesday and Friday. The Yankees had enough trouble finding at-bats for everyone before Stanton returned, and starting Domínguez, Paul Goldschmidt and Ben Rice all about half of the time isn’t doing anyone any good, except for maybe the Blue Jays and Rays.

The 25-year-old outfielder was seeing limited action during this time with the Jays, so he’ll return to an everyday role at the Triple-A level instead of languishing on the bench. Will Wagner was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move on Saturday.

The Rangers tried to take things day-to-day with their 23-year-old budding superstar, but ultimately thought it best to sit him down for a bit to make sure that he gets right. Michael Helman was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to take his place on the Rangers’ active roster.
