  • Jared Triolo 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Triolo: Hits in four straight

    Triolo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Mets.

    Triolo recorded his first home run of the season Thursday and has at least one hit in five of his last six games. He's scored four runs in that span and has surprisingly tallied four total extra-base hits. Despite the slight uptick in production, Triolo is hitting just .167/.233/.308 across 87 plate appearances.

  • Matt Gorski 1B | LAD

    Pirates' Matt Gorski: Pops second homer

    Gorski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Mets.

    Gorski was in the lineup rarely with Derek Shelton managing the Pirates, but he has started five of six games since Don Kelly took over. He's struck out nine times in 19 plate appearances in that span while collecting only four hits, though he did manage a two-run homer in the second inning Wednesday, providing what proved to be the winning runs for Pittsburgh.

  • Spencer Steer 1B | CIN

    Reds' Spencer Steer: Pair of hits in loss

    Steer went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double during Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.

    Steer broke the Reds' scoring slump in the seventh inning by swatting a solo home run off Davis Martin. The long ball was Steer's fourth of the campaign. The 27-year-old also notched a double for a third straight contest. On the year, Steer is slashing .199/.271/.333 with 21 runs scored and 12 RBI.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Heating up in May

    Toglia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to Texas.

    Toglia has now recorded at least one hit in five of his last six games, and he added his third home run in the month of May. The switch hitter now has six multi-hit efforts in 2025, and he's batting .281 with three long balls, two doubles and five RBI over his last 32 at-bats (nine games). Toglia's fantasy appeal gets a considerable boost when he plays at home, as evidenced by his .886 OPS across 75 at-bats at hitter-friendly Coors Field this year.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Homers, drives in five runs

    Hoskins went 4-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, five total RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-5 victory over the Guardians.

    The first baseman launched a two-run homer during the seventh inning and also delivered three runs on singles in the sixth and ninth frames to match Cleveland's run production by himself. Hoskins went 0-for-3 to snap a modest seven-game hit streak Tuesday, but he's gone 14-for-45 (.311 average) with five doubles, two homers, 11 RBI and five runs through 13 contests in May, which has boosted his OPS for the season to .858.

  • Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Set to begin rehab assignment

    Rodriguez (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.

    Rodriguez has been shelved for the past month with a laceration on his right index finger but has been cleared to test himself in a game setting. The switch hitter shouldn't require too many at-bats in the minors before being activated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Pirates' Enmanuel Valdez: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Pirates transferred Valdez (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

    The transaction clears room on the 40-man roster for waiver pickup Michael Helman and ensures that Valdez won't be available for the big club until around the All-Star break. The Pirates initially deactivated Valdez on May 9 due to left shoulder inflammation, but his move to the 60-day IL could suggest that he's dealing with a more significant injury. Before getting injured, Valdez had been seeing regular reps at first base, but playing time could be difficult to come by for him once he's activated since Spencer Horwitz (wrist) is poised to beat him back from the IL.

  • Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Starting rehab assignment

    Chaparro (oblique) has been sent to the rookie-level Florida Complex League Nationals to begin a rehab assignment.

    Chaparro is finally ready to play in games after going down with a left oblique strain in mid-March. The 26-year-old has a chance to work his way into regular playing time with the Nationals, perhaps in the designated hitter spot where Josh Bell has struggled.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: Productive in Tuesday's loss

    Naylor went 2-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Giants.

    Naylor delivered a two-run single to put the Diamondbacks ahead 3-0 in the first inning. He added a two-run homer in the ninth, but Arizona didn't add to the comeback effort after that blast. The first baseman is on a six-game hitting streak, going 7-for-25 (.280) with three extra-base hits in that span. For the season, Naylor's at a .296/.367/.459 slash line with five homers, 27 RBI, 21 runs scored, seven steals and 11 doubles over 42 contests.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Singles in rehab game

    Schmitt (oblique) started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Triple-A Sacramento's 5-3 win over Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    Schmitt began his rehab assignment with Sacramento after being officially placed on the 10-day IL on April 19 due to a Grade 2 left oblique strain. The 26-year-old infielder singled in the first inning before coming around to score. Schmitt has made eight appearances in the majors this season, slashing .174/.208/.261 with two RBI and one run scored across 23 plate appearances.
