  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: On base streak at 30 games

    Guerrero went 1-for-3 with three walks, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the A's.

    Athletics pitchers issued 11 free passes in total on the night, while every Blue Jays hitter collected at least one hit, leading to an 11-7 victory. Guerrero has reached base safely in an impressive 30 straight games, slashing .288/.407/.468 over that span with six homers, 14 RBI and 23 runs.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Posts three hits Friday

    Freeman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Yankees.

    After going hitless in consecutive games for just the second time all year May 23-24 versus the Mets, Freeman has bounced back in a big way with four multi-hit efforts over his last five contests. He is 10-for-20 (.500) with three RBI and three doubles in that span. The star first baseman is batting .368 with a 1.066 OPS while adding nine home runs, 16 doubles, 37 RBI, 31 runs scored and one triple over 46 contests this season.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Provides lone run in defeat

    Olson went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 5-1 loss to Boston.

    Olson tallied his 15th RBI of the month and his 30th of the season, and he remains a strong source of power despite a subpar batting average. Across 103 at-bats in May, the All-Star first baseman is hitting just .243 but has eight home runs, five doubles and 15 RBI. Olson entered Friday with an elite 18.7 percent barrel rate and 56.0 percent hard-hit rate in 2025, and he's begun to return to form in the slugging department following a slow start to the year in that area.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Tweaks right hamstring

    Mountcastle was removed from Friday's game against the White Sox due to right hamstring discomfort, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Mountcastle went 2-for-3 with a steal and a run scored prior to being replaced in the eighth inning, with Cooper Hummel entering in right field while Ryan O'Hearn shifted over to first base. Mountcastle will undergo further tests and the Orioles should provide an update on his injury during or shortly after Friday's contest.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Back in action

    Walker (hand) is starting at first base and hitting cleanup Friday against the Rays.

    He exited Wednesday's game after getting hit on the hand by a pitch, but X-rays were negative and he just needed one day off before getting back in the mix. Walker is hitting .229 with three home runs in 25 games this month.

  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Not swinging yet

    Harper (elbow) is not in Friday's lineup against the Brewers, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Harper will miss a third straight game with a right elbow bruise. Alec Bohm is starting at first base while Edmundo Sosa mans third. Harper called himself "super day-to-day" Friday, but he hasn't tried swinging a bat yet and likely won't Friday, per Paul Casella of MLB.com, so it's possible this turns into an IL stint. When Betts returns, he'll be wearing a new elbow brace, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic.

  • Matt Mervis 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Matt Mervis: Officially DFA'd

    The Marlins designated Mervis for assignment Friday.

    Mervis' .175/.254/.383 slash line through 134 plate appearances this season was enough for the Marlins to move on after acquiring him from the Cubs during the offseason. The 27-year-old has yet to find much success across parts of three-big league seasons with a .560 OPS, but he could still receive some interest on waivers given his prospect pedigree.

  • Matt Mervis 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Matt Mervis: Likely losing roster spot

    Mervis is expected to be designated for assignment by the Marlins ahead of Friday's series opener against the Giants, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

    Mervis was acquired from the Cubs in December, but his new organization has apparently seen enough after he stumbled to a .175/.254/.383 slash line with seven homers and a 37.3 percent strikeout rate through 42 games this season. The 27-year-old could receive some interest on waivers given his prospect pedigree, but his .165 batting average and .560 OPS through 260 career big-league plate appearances is likely to dissuade most clubs.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Crushes eighth homer

    Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's rout of the A's.

    The majestic second-inning blast over the left-field fence came off Jacob Lopez, and while it only traveled 399 feet, the ball reached a height of 136 feet after leaving Guerrero's bat with an eye-popping launch angle of 37 degrees. It was Guerrero's eighth homer of the year and his fourth in the last 14 games -- a stretch in which he's slashing .240/.367/.480 with six RBI, nine runs and a 9:4 BB:K.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | BOS

    Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Rare two-hit game amid power outage

    Lowe went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Mariners.

    It was Lowe's first multi-hit game since May 6, and he has just one extra-base hit over his last nine games. The veteran first baseman is hitting only .211 with two RBI and two runs scored during this period. Even with the power outage -- he has only two long balls in May -- Lowe has managed to log at least one hit in seven of these nine outings.
