  • 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.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Intensive daily treatment on ankle

    Freeman requires 90 minutes of treatment on his surgically repaired right ankle every day, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Freeman noted that the ankle is "not 100 percent" but is "good enough" to play on. The lingering ankle discomfort is likely the main reason Freeman has yet to steal a base in 2025 after averaging 15 steals over the previous three seasons. However, it has not affected Freeman at the plate, as he's sporting a robust .376/.437/.734 batting line with nine home runs and 33 RBI. Freeman has been told by doctors that he might not have to do as much daily treatment on the ankle after the All-Star break.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Starting rehab assignment

    Schmitt (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports

    Schmitt has been cleared for game action after missing more than three weeks with Grade 2 left oblique strain. The infielder should be ready to rejoin the Giants within the next week or so if all goes well.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | BAL

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Hits game-winning sac fly

    Alonso went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

    Alonso gave the Mets the lead in the seventh inning on an infield RBI single, and he sent the home crowd happy in the bottom of the ninth on a sacrifice fly to right field that brought Francisco Lindor home. Alonso has reached base safely in 22 of his last 23 games and is slashing .318/.428/.604 with nine home runs, 36 RBI and 28 runs over 187 plate appearances this season.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Rehab assignment imminent

    Schmitt (oblique) might begin a rehab assignment as soon as Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Schmitt is more than three weeks removed from suffering a Grade 2 oblique strain and is almost ready to test things out in a game setting. Because his absence has been relatively brief, Schmitt shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment before returning to the Giants' active roster.

  • LaMonte Wade 1B | CHW

    Giants' LaMonte Wade: Absent from Monday's lineup

    Wade is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Wade struggled at the plate during the Giants' three-game weekend series against the Twins, going 0-for-9 with a walk and three strikeouts. He'll begin Monday's game in the dugout while Wilmer Flores starts at first base and bats fifth.

  • Brewers' Ernesto Martinez: Back in action for Triple-A club

    Martinez (thumb) rejoined the Triple-A Nashville lineup Thursday and has gone 1-for-10 with three walks, an RBI and a run over his last three games.

    Though Nashville never placed him on the injured list, Martinez hadn't played since April 22 due to a right thumb injury before he made his return to action just over two weeks later. At 25, Martinez is an older prospect who is limited defensively to first base, but he's put himself on the radar for a potential late-season promotion to the Brewers by posting an .812 OPS while striking out at a manageable 18.9 percent clip over his 90 plate appearances thus far with Nashville.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Poaching playing time from Collins

    Bauers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    Bauers seems to be moving ahead of Isaac Collins in the Brewers' outfield hierarchy; the former will start for the third time in Milwaukee's last four matchups versus right-handed pitchers, while Collins has started just once during that stretch. Both players will likely see their playing time trend downward once Garrett Mitchell (oblique) is cleared to return from the injured list.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CIN

    Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Swats seventh homer

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

    The Nationals managed only five hits total, with Lowe producing the team's only run of the day when he took Miles Mikolas deep in the fourth inning. It was the first baseman's first long ball in May, and while he's batting just .242 through 171 plate appearances in his first season with the Nats, Lowe is on pace for career-best power numbers with seven homers and 29 RBI in 41 contests.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Dialed in during Sunday's win

    Freeman went 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Freeman supplied an RBI double in the first inning, a sacrifice fly in the fifth and a solo homer in the seventh. This was his bounce-back effort after seeing his 14-game hitting streak end with an 0-for-4 performance Saturday. During that streak, the first baseman his .472 (25-for-53) with nine extra-base hits and 19 RBI. For the season, he's at a superb .376/.437/.734 slash line with nine homers, 33 RBI, 22 runs scored, 10 doubles and one triple over 30 contests, though he's 0-for-1 on stolen base attempts.
