Ty France 1B | TOR
Twins' Ty France: Idle for Thursday's game
France (foot) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.
On Wednesday, France exited in the fifth inning of the Twins' 6-3 win in the first game of a doubleheader due to a left foot contusion, then was withheld from action in the 8-6 win over the Orioles later on that day. The Twins are continuing to view France as day-to-day, but he'll miss out on a second straight start as the team wraps up its series in Baltimore. Kody Clemens will fill in for France at first base.

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 | PIT
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.

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.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesdays' 3-2 win over the Mariners.
Goldschmidt was out of the starting lineup, but he delivered the game-tying run with his seventh-inning solo shot as a pinch hitter. The first baseman is 9-for-24 (.375) over his last six games, adding two homers and five RBI in that span. For the season, he continues to offer steady offense with a .346 average, .901 OPS, five homers, 22 RBI, 27 runs scored and three stolen bases across 177 plate appearances.

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.
