  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Sitting Saturday

    Vaughn is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Brewers.

    Vaughn will remain on the bench for a second game in a row Saturday. Gavin Sheets will draw another start at first base and bat fifth against Milwaukee.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Plates three runs Friday

    Cronenworth went 2-for-5 with a double, a run and three RBI in an 11-8 win over Kansas City on Friday.

    Cronenworth was a key part of San Diego's nine-run eighth inning, knocking in the first two runs of the frame with a single and capping the outburst with an RBI double. The pair of base knocks were much-needed for the second baseman, as he had just one hit over his previous 14 at-bats prior to the big inning. Cronenworth slashed .265/.315/.461 with four homers, 18 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base over 26 games in May.

  • Astros' Jon Singleton: Sitting Saturday

    Singleton is not in the lineup Saturday versus Minnesota.

    Singleton will head to the bench after he went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 6-1 loss. Jose Abreu will replace him at first base and bat eighth against the Twins.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Homers in loss

    Walker went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-9 loss to the Mets.

    Walker hit the second of a back-to-back home runs in the ninth inning -- he followed Joc Pederson's three-run blast -- but they weren't enough to erase Arizona's five-run deficit. The home run was Walker's team-leading 11th to go along with a team-high 34 RBI. He's hit safely in eight of nine games, going 11-for-35 with six extra-base hits (three homers), four RBI and six runs scored.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Mariners' Ty France: Perfect at plate Friday

    France went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a two-run double and a walk in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels.

    France ended up a triple shy of the cycle, but he hasn't legged out a three-bagger since 2022. The infielder went 14-for-39 (.359) with three homers and nine RBI over his last 12 games in May, making him one of the Mariners' hotter hitters. For the year, France has a .260/.325/.411 slash line, seven homers, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored and eight doubles over 55 contests while seeing a starting role at first base.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Collects four hits and two RBI

    Arraez went 4-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's victory over Kansas City.

    Arraez was ever himself, lacing four singles for his fourth four-hit night with San Diego since joining the team May 4. Overall, it is the 27-year-old's fifth four-hit game of the season, as he had one in Miami too. He also managed to collect his ninth and 10th RBI as a Padre with a two-run RBI knock in the eighth inning. Arraez sports a .342/.380/.413 slash line in 256 total plate appearances with 35 runs and 15 RBI.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Scratched with sore thumb

    Schanuel was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Mariners due to left thumb soreness.

    Schanuel was originally set to start at first base and bat in the leadoff spot Friday, but thumb problems will prevent him from doing so. Willie Calhoun will cover first base in Schanuel's place, moving Matt Thaiss into the DH spot while batting seventh.

  • Giants' Trenton Brooks: Starting Friday

    Brooks is starting at first base and batting ninth in Friday's series opener against the Yankees.

    Brooks will make his second major-league start since being selected from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. He's gone 0-for-3 across his two outings with the Giants, and he'll look for his first hit in the majors Friday against Yankees right-hander Marcus Stroman.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Back in lineup Friday

    Hoskins will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth in Friday's game against the White Sox.

    Hoskins has been out since May 13 due to a right hamstring strain, and he'll jump back into the lineup after being activated off the injured list Friday. He'll face off against White Sox right-hander Erick Fedde.

  • Owen Miller 2B | CHC

    Brewers' Owen Miller: Sent back to Nashville

    The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Miller was recalled from Nashville earlier in May to provide depth as Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed to the injured list. Now that Hoskins is back, Miller will be pushed back to Triple-A. The 27-year-old infielder has slashed .185/.185/.222 across 27 big-league plate appearances this season, but he figures to be on the shortlist for a return to Milwaukee should the Brewers run into more depth issues.
