Donovan Solano 1B | TEX
Mariners' Donovan Solano: Struggling for playing time
Solano went 2-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Houston.
Solano made his fifth start at first base among 12 appearances in the month of May, but he remains without an RBI since April 17. Over his last 15 outings (30 at-bats), the veteran infielder is batting an empty .267 with just two extra-base hits. The absence of Luke Raley (oblique) hasn't translated to a boost in playing time for Solano, who should continue to function on the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Rowdy Tellez at first base.

Guerrero is up to seven home runs on the season, three of which have come over his last nine games. He has slashed .282/.400/.462 with 17 runs scored, four home runs and nine RBI over 95 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

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.

Willson Contreras C | BOS
Cardinals' Willson Contreras: Still out Saturday
Contreras (back) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.
Contreras was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to back spasms, and he'll need at least another day to recover. Alec Burleson will fill in for him at first base and bat fifth.

Bryce Eldridge 1B | SF
Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Staying ready in Double-A
Eldridge is slashing .304/.379/.533 with 15 RBI, 12 runs scored, six doubles, five home runs and a 27.2 percent strikeout rate across 103 plate appearances for Double-A Richmond this season.
Eldridge is in the midst of a four-game hitting streak and has notched at least one hit in 15 of his 19 appearances this month. The 20-year-old first baseman has been productive in May, slashing .338/.397/.577 with 12 RBI, nine runs scored, four homers and a 23.1 percent strikeout rate. The 16th overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, Eldridge could soon make a case for a promotion to Triple-A Sacramento, where he finished the 2024 campaign.

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.

Brewers' Tyler Black: Closing in on 2025 Triple-A debut
Black (hand) has made six appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League during his rehab assignment, going 7-for-18 with two doubles, one triple, four walks, three RBI and three runs.
After falling short in his bid for a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster and being optioned to Triple-A Nashville on March 22, Black ended up beginning the season on Nashville's injured list due to a hamate fracture in his right hand. He underwent surgery and missed about six weeks of action before kicking off his rehab assignment in Arizona on May 15. He's expected to be activated from Nashville's IL early next week, according to MLB.com.
