  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Resting against left-hander

    Tellez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

    Tellez will take a seat on the bench Saturday with the left-handed Patrick Corbin due to start on the bump for Texas. Donovan Solano will fill in as Seattle's first baseman and bat sixth.

  • Michael Busch 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Out of lineup Saturday

    Busch isn't starting against the Brewers on Saturday.

    Busch had a big game versus Milwaukee in the series opener Friday, lifting a grand slam in the 10-0 win. However, the lefty-hitting first baseman will take a seat Saturday with the Brewers sending southpaw Jose Quintana to the mound. In Busch's place Saturday, Justin Turner is starting at first base and batting fifth.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Headed to big leagues

    The Orioles plan to recall Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    One of the top prospects in the Orioles' farm system, Mayo is now due for his third career stint with the big-league club after slashing .252/.346/.523 across 127 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. He'll provide the O's with insurance at third base with Jordan Westburg (hamstring) and Ramon Urias (hamstring) both nursing injuries.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Likely done for 2025

    The Red Sox placed Casas on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a ruptured left patellar tendon.

    Although Casas is only on the 10-day IL for now, his diagnosis almost certainly rules him out for the remainder of the 2025 season. Abraham Toro was selected from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move to give Boston infield depth, though Romy Gonzalez will likely receive the bulk of the starts at first.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Sitting against southpaw

    Aranda isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    The Yankees will send lefty Ryan Yarbrough to the mound to begin Saturday's contest, so Aranda will grab a seat on the bench while Curtis Mead starts at first base and bats fifth.

  • Luis Arraez 1B | SD

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Plates three in victory

    Arraez went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and three RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over the Pirates.

    Arraez gave the Padres a 3-2 lead with his run-scoring single in the fifth and added a two-run single in the eighth. Since returning from a stint on the 7-day concussion IL on April 29, the veteran infielder has collected at least one hit and at least one RBI in each of his three games. Arraez started slowly this season but is now batting a robust .313 -- ninth best in the National League -- as he pursues a fourth consecutive batting title.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Fills in at first base

    Gonzalez entered for an injured Triston Casas (knee) and went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over Minnesota.

    Casas sustained what Red Sox manager Alex Cora described as a "significant knee injury," per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. The Red Sox have limited organizational depth at first base, so it looks like Gonzalez, who was a platoon partner at the position with Casas, will be the immediate replacement. The situation will be worth monitoring over the next few days to determine how Cora and the organization plan to address this positional need. Gonzalez is batting .279/.340/.419 with six doubles, two steals, five RBI and nine runs scored over 43 at-bats.

  • Blaine Crim 1B | COL

    Rangers' Blaine Crim: Hitless in debut

    Crim started at first base, batted eighth and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 13-1 loss to Seattle.

    Crim made his MLB debut after having his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock. After Texas optioned Jake Burger to the minors, there's an opportunity for someone to grab the first base job. Crim will be part of the mix. The 27-year-old has played 308 games at Round Rock since 2022 and is well past the point of being considered a prospect.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | CHC

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Launches solo homer Friday

    Santana went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Friday's 5-3 loss to Toronto.

    Santana put the Guardians on the board in the second inning on a solo home run off Chris Bassitt, and the former tied things up at 3-3 in the eighth after his single to right field brought Daniel Schneemann home. Santana is up to three home runs on the season, though his last one before Friday was April 9 against the White Sox. He's slashing .229/.306/.330 with two stolen bases, 13 runs scored and nine RBI in 124 plate appearances this season.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Gets back on track Friday

    Olson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.

    It was Olson's first RBI since April 23, and he extended his on-base streak to 19 games Friday. During this streak, the star first baseman is batting a healthy .265 (18-for-68) with four home runs, two doubles, 10 RBI and 15 runs scored. Olson's pedestrian .418 slugging percentage in 2025 figures to see some positive regression at some point, as he entered the day with a top-notch 57.1 percent hard-hit rate on the season.
