Yu Chang - Two-RBI day Chang went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Cleveland's 7-3 loss to Chicago on Saturday.
Impact The fourth-inning single came with the bases loaded and snapped a five-game hitless stretch for Chang. He's seeing semi-regular playing time, but until he can string together quality at-bats, it's difficult to see Chang as a viable option.

Austin Hedges - Third hit, second home run Hedges went 1-for-3 with a home run and a strikeout Saturday as Cleveland lost to Chicago 7-3.
Impact The home run was Hedges' second of the season, but on the year, he only has three hits in 23 at bats. Hedges is one of the best defensive backstops in the league, but until he can be at least serviceable at the plate, he'll remain Roberto Perez's backup.

Triston McKenzie - Takes loss Saturday McKenzie (0-1) went two innings and allowed five runs on one hit and four walks with six strikeouts in Cleveland's 7-3 loss to Chicago on Saturday.
Impact After a 1-2-3 first featuring three strikeouts, the young starter needed 42 pitches to labor through a dreadful second that was punctuated by a Tim Anderson grand slam. The strikeout upside is clearly there, but until McKenzie can limit the walks, he won't be able to work deep into games. None of his five starts so far this season have lasted more than five innings.

Yasmani Grandal - Four plate appearances, four walks Grandal failed to register an at bat while logging four walks and two runs as Chicago beat Cleveland 7-3 on Saturday.
Impact The veteran catcher demonstrated his on-base penchant by walking each time he stepped up to the dish and now has nine walks compared to one hit over his last six games. Grandal currently owns a .333 OBP compared to a .273 SLG.
