  • Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Launches eighth homer

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Orioles.

    The first baseman got the Nats on the board by depositing a Cade Povich sweeper over the right-field fence in the second inning. It was Lowe's eighth homer of the season, but he's been struggling to produce in May -- over his last nine games, he's gone just 3-for-33 (.091).

  • Nick Solak 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Solak: One hit in Pirates debut

    Solak went 1-for-3 against the Phillies on Friday.

    Solak made his first big-league appearance since 2022 and singled to left field in his first at-bat. He started at first base, but Spencer Horwitz (wrist) is expected back at some point during the team's weekend series. However, Solak is also capable of playing nearly every defensive position, so he could settle into a utility role if he sticks in the majors.

  • Nick Sogard SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Logs two hits in loss

    Sogard started at first base and went 2-for-3 in Friday's 4-2 loss to Atlanta.

    Sogard made his fifth start in the last six games and is 6-for-21 since his call-up from Triple-A Worcester. He's been seeing time at first base since Triston Casas suffered a season-ending knee injury, but considering the recent news that Kristian Campbell is taking reps at first base, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Sogard could see his window of playing time close in the near future.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Three hits in Friday's loss

    Arraez went 3-for-4 with a double in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Mariners.

    The Padres managed only eight hits in total, while the three batters behind Arraez in the order went a combined 0-for-11, so the 28-year-old's knocks didn't lead to any offense. Arraez is finding his groove in May, recording four three-hit performances in 13 games while producing a .298/.333/.368 slash line with six RBI and nine runs.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Bat wakes up Friday

    Walker went 2-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

    The first baseman put an exclamation point on a six-run rally by Houston in the seventh inning when he crushed a Shawn Armstrong fastball 410 feet to left-center field. Walker snapped an 0-for-16 mini-slump with the performance, while the long ball ended a 15-game homerless drought. The 34-year-old has yet to build much momentum to begin his tenure as an Astro, and through 180 plate appearances he's slashing just .210/.283/.358 with five homers, 18 RBI and 19 runs.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: Records eighth steal

    Naylor went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rockies.

    Naylor is now on an eight-game hitting streak, and the last three have been multi-hit efforts. He's 11-for-34 (.324) during the streak, adding three extra-base hits, four RBI and two steals. The first baseman has been at his best to begin his first season with Arizona, offering a high batting average with modest pop and some surprising speed. He's slashing .304/.370/.458 with eight steals, five home runs, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored and 11 doubles across 44 contests.

  • Cardinals' Willson Contreras: Extends on-base streak to 15 games

    Contreras went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Royals.

    It was the sixth multi-hit showing of the month already for Contreras, who extended his on-base streak to 15 games in the process. During this streak, the veteran slugger is batting .365 (19-for-52) with four home runs, four doubles, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored. After moving away from the catcher position to first base for the Cardinals in 2025, Contreras has been able to appear in 44 of St. Louis' 45 games so far.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Rare multi-hit game Friday

    Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 win over Boston.

    It was the first multi-hit game of the month for Olson, who did go deep for the fourth time in May. The All-Star first baseman has only four multi-hit efforts in 2025, and he's batting a mere .196 with seven RBI and seven runs scored over his last 56 at-bats. Olson is ninth in the National League in walks (29), however, and he figures to see a boost in RBI upside once Ronald Acuna (knee) is ready to make his season debut.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Drives in two runs Friday

    Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

    Goldschmidt got the Yankees on the board in the third inning on an infield RBI single and drove in a second run in the fourth. The veteran first baseman has tallied at least one RBI in five of his last seven games, and over that span he has gone 11-for-28 (.393) with one stolen base, seven runs scored, two home runs and seven RBI. Goldschmidt's .349 batting average is second-best in the majors behind teammate Aaron Judge (.414).

  • Matt Mervis 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Matt Mervis: Not in Friday's lineup

    Mervis is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

    Mervis started the previous four games but will sit Friday after going 1-for-9 with a walk and three strikeouts during that stretch. Eric Wagaman will take over at first base for the series opener versus Tampa Bay.
