Triston Casas 1B | BOS
Red Sox's Triston Casas: Transferred to 60-day IL
The Red Sox transferred Casas (knee) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Casas underwent surgery in early May to repair the ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee and will aim to return in 2026. The move corresponds with the Red Sox selecting Marcelo Mayer's contract from Triple-A Worcester while placing Alex Bregman (quad) on the 10-day injured list.

Sogard will start at third base in the afternoon game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Sogard steps in for Alex Bregman, who was removed from Friday's contest with right quad tightness. It's unclear if Bregman could be available for the second game of the doubleheader, or if manager Alex Cora will make do with Sogard or another body.

Jake Burger 3B | TEX
Rangers' Jake Burger: Provides lone run in loss
Burger went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 4-1 loss to the White Sox.
Burger continued a revival since being called up from a brief stay in the minors. He's hit safely in nine of 11 games since returning the majors, going 12-for-40 (.300) with three doubles, three home runs and seven RBI. Unfortunately for the Rangers, the offense was dormant once again, managing just three hits. Burger, who's spent much of his time in the lower half of the batting order, has been moved up to fourth and fifth the last two games.

Carlos Santana 1B | ARI
Guardians' Carlos Santana: Runs RBI streak to five games
Santana went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 3-1 win over Detroit.
Santana delivered a two-out, run-scoring single in the first inning that turned out to be the game-winning hit. He's knocked in at lease one run in five consecutive games and has eight RBI over the last seven. After driving in seven runs over his first 29 contests, the veteran slugger has accumulated 20 RBI over his last 19 games.

Curtis Mead 3B | WAS
Rays' Curtis Mead: Goes yard again Friday
Mead went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Getting the start at first base and batting eighth, the 24-year-old drove a cutter from lefty Eric Lauer down the left-field line in the fourth inning. Mead only has two homers on the season, but they've come in the last two games, and he has a six-game hitting streak going sandwiched around an eight-game stretch in which he didn't get off the bench, as the Rays faced nothing but right-handed starters. Despite being limited primarily to a short-side platoon role, Mead is finding his rhythm at the plate, and since the beginning of May he's slashing .286/.342/.486 in 38 plate appearances.

Nick Kurtz 1B | ATH
Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Homers again Friday
Kurtz went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.
Kurtz made things interesting in this contest, as he got the Athletics to within a run after taking Jordan Romano deep in the ninth inning. This was Kurtz's fourth homer over the last four games, a span in which he has gone 5-for-14 with eight RBI and three walks. The first baseman is up to .231/.291/.440 slash line, five homers, 14 RBI, 10 runs scored and no stolen bases over 103 plate appearances. He looks to be past a slump from the middle of the month, and the power that has helped him take the fast track to the majors hasn't taken long to show up at baseball's highest level.

Logan Davidson SS | TB
Athletics' Logan Davidson: Joins big club
The Athletics selected Davidson's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Davidson is in line to make his MLB debut against the Phillies at some point this weekend. With Gio Urshela (hamstring) placed on the 10-day injured list, Davidson could be a candidate to make starts at third base for the Athletics. The 27-year-old Davidson has slashed .310/.456/.437 with two home runs, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 182 plate appearances at Triple-A.

Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL
White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Sent to Triple-A
The White Sox optioned Vaughn to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Vaughn is the odd man out after the White Sox activated both Andrew Benintendi (calf) and Mike Tauchman (hamstring) from the 10-day IL on Friday. Vaughn has been an MLB regular with the White Sox since 2021, but he's gotten off to a horrible start in 2025, slashing .189/.218/.314 with five home runs, 19 RBI, nine runs scored, zero stolen bases and a 7:43 BB:K across 193 plate appearances. Vaughn will try to find his swing at Triple-A.
