  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Reaches base five times

    Diaz went 3-for-3 with two walks and a run scored Saturday against the Blue Jays.

    Diaz has gotten on track at the plate across the last two weeks, with Saturday's performance marking his eighth multi-hit performance across his last 15 games. He's gone 23-for-63 with 12 RBI and 10 runs scored, also chipping in a pair of home runs. Overall, Diaz owns a 106 wRC+ but just a .097 ISO across 206 plate appearances for the season.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Gets breather Saturday

    Mountcastle isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

    Mountcastle will get a day to regroup Saturday after going 1-for-16 across his last four games. While he sits, Ryan O'Hearn will pick up a start at first base while Anthony Santander serves as Baltimore's DH, opening up a spot in the outfield for Austin Hays.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Out of starting lineup versus lefty

    Soderstrom is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against the Royals.

    The lefty-hitting Soderstrom will start from the bench as the Athletics take on lefty Cole Ragans. The 22-year-old has started in six of Oakland's last eight games, though J.D. Davis will take the field at first base Friday.

  • Ryan Noda 1B | BAL

    Athletics' Ryan Noda: Starting to heat up in Vegas

    Noda is 5-for-13 with two doubles, a home run, two RBI, three walks and four runs over his last four games with Triple-A Las Vegas.

    The brief but impressive stretch is in stark contrast to Noda's first eight games following his demotion, when he posted an .083 batting average (2-for-24) without an extra-base hit. The 28-year-old, who limped to a .440 OPS during his 30 games in the majors this season, could soon earn a promotion if he stays hot.

  • Ty France 1B | TOR

    Mariners' Ty France: Another homer in Wednesday's win

    France went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Royals on Wednesday.

    France's 414-foot shot to left center in the fourth inning extended the Mariners' lead to 2-0 and served as his second round-tripper in the last three games. France has also hit safely in all three of those contests, but both his .243 average and .295 on-base percentage are at their lowest points since his rookie campaign in 2019.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Idle against lefty

    Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    With lefty Framber Valdez on the hill for Houston, the lefty-hitting Soderstrom will retreat to the bench. Soderstrom appears to have settled into the strong side of a platoon at first base with the right-handed-hitting J.D. Davis, who will get the starting nod Wednesday.

  • Astros' Jon Singleton: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Singleton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Singleton has taken over as the Astros' regular first baseman since Jose Abreu's demotion, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Mauricio Dubon will fill in for Singleton at first base.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Buoyed by progress

    Casas (rib) was upbeat Tuesday when discussing the progress he's made while on rehab, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    At the time of his injury, Casas was unsure how his body would respond, but he was enthused when discussing his recovery. "Everything is going well. I'm making a lot of progress," Casas said. "Starting a running progression here in the next couple of days. Should get to start throwing in two or three more days. I've already started lifting. Swinging is probably the last step, because that's a lot of rotation." Casas is currently on the 60-day injured list and isn't eligible to return until June 21. While he's been out, the Red Sox have filled first base with a rotation of players that includes Garrett Cooper, Dominic Smith and Romy Gonzalez.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Powers offense in nightcap Tuesday

    Vaughn went 2-for-3 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in a 4-0 win over the Nationals during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    After looking shaky in the matinee by going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, Vaughn's bat roared to life in the nightcap as he crushed a three-run homer off Mitchell Parker in the third inning before adding a solo shot off Jackson Rutledge in the eighth. All three of Vaughn's long balls on the season have come in the last five games, and over his last seven contests the 26-year-old first baseman has gone 9-for-26 (.346) with three doubles and six RBI.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Does a bit of everything

    Naylor went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and a stolen base during Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.

    Naylor took part in the Guardians' six-run second inning, plating Tyler Freeman and Andres Gimenez with a three-run blast. He also swiped his third bag of the campaign and boosted his walk rate to 10.4 percent. The 27-year-old has gone yard five times in his last 10 games and is batting .286 during that stretch.
