Harper went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Guardians.

Harper broke things open with a 421-foot home run that ignited a six-run eighth inning for the Phillies. Over his past 10 games, the first baseman has tallied three multi-hit efforts with five extra-base hits, six RBI and six runs scored. While he's batting a modest .242 on the season, the 32-year-old has provided steady counting stats with seven homers, 22 RBI, 23 runs scored and six steals across 177 plate appearances.

Mervis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Make it back-to-back days that Mervis has taken a seat against a right-handed starter. It's still unclear at his point if the 27-year-old has fallen down the Marlins' depth chart, but he'll step aside Saturday while Ronny Simon serves as Miami's DH against Chicago's Shane Smith.

Horwitz (wrist) has gone 4-for-28 with five strikeouts on his rehab assignment split between Double-A Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis.

Horwitz has been on assignment since April 27 and has needed extensive ramp-up time after missing all of spring training. He still hasn't found a rhythm at the plate, though he has struck out at a reasonable 16.7 percent clip. The Pirates need offensive help, but they may opt to let Horwitz start to hit better before activating him.

Rodriguez (finger) had his splint removed, is playing catch and has resumed a modified swing, MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez has been sidelined with a laceration on his right index finger since April 15. His progress has been slower than anticipated, though he should still have the chance to return later in May.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Mets.

Chicago's offense came on solo home runs by Kyle Tucker and Busch, with the latter recording his seventh long ball of the season and second in May. Busch has mostly struggled this month with a .192 batting average and 27.6 percent strikeout rate across eight games. Overall, he has a more respectable .258 average to go along with a strong .860 OPS.

Contreras went 2-for-4 with one run scored, a double and three RBI in Friday's 10-0 win over the Nationals.

Contreras got the Cardinals on the board with a two-run double in the first inning, and he brought in an additional run in the eighth when he drew a bases-loaded walk. He has recorded at least one RBI in six of the last nine games he's played in, and over that span he has gone 12-for-30 (.400) with six runs scored, three home runs and 13 RBI.

Toglia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Friday against the Padres.

Toglia has struggled to get going at the plate this season, though there have been some positive aspects to his performance across the last two weeks. Four of his five home runs have come in his last 13 games, and he's also delivered seven RBI and four runs scored. Despite that short-term success, he has just a .208 average with a 35.2 percent strikeout rate across 145 plate appearances on the campaign.

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and three total runs scored in Friday's 14-11 win over the Diamondbacks.

Hernandez started at third base against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez in this contest. The 33-year-old Hernandez has a pair of multi-hit efforts in May, but he's struggling to find consistent playing time against right-handed pitchers. He's at a .215/.267/.468 slash line with six homers, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases over 87 plate appearances. Hernandez platoons with Max Muncy at third base, and he's also in the mix in the free-for-all for playing time at second base in the absence of Tommy Edman (ankle).

The Pirates placed Valdez on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 8, due to left shoulder inflammation, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

It's unclear when exactly the injury first surfaced for Valdez, but he's gone 2-for-13 across his past four contests. The Pirates are now down another option at first base, with Valdez joining Spencer Horwitz (wrist) and Endy Rodriguez (finger) on the shelf. Ji Hwan Bae was called up by Pittsburgh in a corresponding move, though it's likely to be Matt Gorski that sees a bump in playing time.

Mervis is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

It's right-hander Bryse Wilson on the bump for the White Sox, but the left-handed-hitting Mervis will nonetheless begin the festivities on the bench. It's the first time this season that Mervis -- who is 1-for-14 with 10 strikeouts in May -- is not in the lineup versus a righty. Liam Hicks is in the designated hitter spot for Miami.
