Triolo knocked a base hit in the third inning, then later extended the Pirates lead to four runs with a solo blast in the ninth off Shinnosuke Ogasawara. The 27-year-old infielder has been the everyday leadoff man for Pittsburgh, slashing .229/.319/.364 with six homers, 36 runs scored, 21 RBI, and ten steals across 316 plate appearances.

Severino was outstanding, and the only real blight was a two-run homer allowed to Nolan Schanuel. The 32-year-old generated an impressive 18 swings and misses, and only four balls registered as hard hits for the Halos while Severino was in the game. Severino hasn’t exactly dominated for most of 2026 as seen in his 4.23 ERA, but this was encouraging. He’ll face Seattle on Tuesday in Sacramento.

Carroll got the D-backs on the board in the sixth inning on a fielder’s choice. The big knock was a few innings later, as he smoked a 105.8 mph single to score Gabriel Moreno to give the Diamondbacks the win. Carroll has now driven in 26 runs while posting a .282/.390/.552 slash over the first 49 games of the campaign.

That’s the first time Agnos has ever thrown five innings in an MLB game. It was set to be a bullpen game after the Rockies pushed Tomoyuki Sugano to Friday, but Agnos was so effective it just became a regular start. He allowed only one hit, struck out four and issued a single free pass while throwing 71 pitches before exiting. Agnos could work as a multi-inning opener again next week, but nothing is scheduled, and fantasy managers shouldn’t expect similar results if he does.

Rodriguez was much more effective than his previous start against the Rockies when he worked 5 1/3 innings and gave up three runs. He scattered four hits allowed — just one of them for extra bases — and he whiffed four against one walk. What a comeback season it has been for Rodriguez; a pitcher that was borderline unusable over the last two seasons now has a 2.24 ERA over 60 1/3 innings in his first 10 starts. Unfortunately, this one comes with no win because the D-backs were blanked while was in the game. His next scheduled start comes Tuesday versus the Giants in San Francisco.

With Jose Caballero set to return from the injured list on Friday, someone needed to get the boot from the Yankees’ active roster to make room. Jones has struggled to make consistent contact during his brief time with the Yankees, striking out 12 times in just 27 plate appearances while hitting .167 (4-for-24). He’ll return to an everyday role at the Triple-A level until another opportunity arises with the Bombers.

The Yankees needed to free up a spot on their active roster for the return of Gerrit Cole on Friday and it appears as though Cruz was the low man on the totem pole this time. The 26-year-old hurler pitched very well in his two outings for the Yankees, posting a 0.43 WHIP and a 3/0 K/BB ratio over 2 1/3 innings of shutout baseball. It shouldn’t be long before he earned another opportunity with the big league club.

Springer tagged right-hander Camilo Doval for a 359-foot (96.0 mph EV) solo shot in the seventh inning, providing the Jays with a valuable insurance run. Springer also walked in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-4. The 36-year-old has experienced a major dropoff from his outstanding 2025 campaign, slashing a woeful .200/.278/.342 with four homers, 10 RBI and two stolen bases through his first 134 plate appearances on the year.
