GM Ben Cherington said Valdez's shoulder injury is "relatively minor" and that the infielder could be available off the bench for Sunday's game versus the Guardians, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old suffered the injury in the ninth inning of Saturday's contest as he slid into third base on a triple, and he was tagged out when he took his hand off the base to ask the umpire for time. Valdez has been a quality contributor early on for the Pirates this year with a .797 OPS and nine RBI in 53 plate appearances.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Busch singled in a run in the bottom of the first inning, then added a solo home run an inning later, giving him five long balls for the season. The infielder has an impressive .316/.381/.618 slash line through 22 games, and while he often sits against southpaws, Busch has been a force against righties. He currently has a 1.020 OPS against opposite-handed pitching this year, as well as all of his home runs and RBI.

Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Royals.

Following a disappointing 2024 campaign, Torkelson has gotten off to a great start in 2025, and his long ball Saturday proved to be the game winner. The 25-year-old has a robust 1.049 OPS, seven home runs and 21 RBI through 21 games. The homer and RBI totals lead the team and rank among the top five in the majors as well.

Casas went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Casas delivered the game-winning run in the 10th inning with a bases-loaded single. While it's way too early to claim the walk-off hit has ended Casas' early-season swoon -- he entered Saturday hitting .172 with a .508 OPS -- it was a big hit for the first baseman, who was batting .125 (2-for-16) with runners in scoring position prior to Saturday's knock.

Aranda went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Yankees.

Aranda capped off a comeback for the Rays with a walk-off home run in the 10th inning. He has hit well overall to begin the season and flashed a lot of power, tallying eight doubles and four home runs across 69 plate appearances, although most of that damage has come in the Rays' very hitter-friendly temporary home at George Steinbrenner Field. Aranda will likely remain in a strong-side platoon, but he did draw the start Friday with a lefty on the mound.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an RBI double in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Cardinals.

Alonso drove in two of the Mets' three runs Saturday, finishing things up with a solo homer off John King in the eighth inning. Alonso has 10 multi-hit games this season, four of which have come over his last six games. His 1.220 OPS ranks first in the National League and second in the majors behind Aaron Judge (1.236), and Alonso is third in the NL in both batting average (.356) and RBI (23).

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Freeman tied things up at 2-2 in the fourth inning, when he took Nathan Eovaldi deep to right field for a two-run moon shot. It was Freeman's fourth home run of the year (and second in his last three games), and he's gone 7-for-18 with four walks, two runs scored and four RBI over his past five contests.

The Giants placed Schmitt (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to April 18.

Schmitt was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Angels due to side tightness that he experienced when hitting in the batting cage before the game. Further tests revealed a left oblique strain, and he won't be eligible to be activated off the IL until April 29, though how he responds to treatment over the next few days will determine a more accurate timeline for his return. The Giants selected David Villar's contract from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Burger is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Burger's six-game hitting streak was put to an end Friday, as he struck out in all three of his at-bats. He'll get a chance to regroup Saturday while Josh Smith starts at first, opening up left field for Dustin Harris.

Mountcastle isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.

Mountcastle will get a day to rest Saturday after going 4-for-24 with two RBI and five runs scored across his stretch of seven consecutive starts. Ryan O'Hearn will take his place at first base, moving Jordan Westburg into the DH spot while Ramon Urias starts at third.
