  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Makes third straight start

    Duran started in left field and went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 4-2 loss to Colorado.

    Duran made a third consecutive start and has hit in all three, going 6-for-10 with one RBI and three runs scored. He's started in left field and third base during the three-start run, and there will be plenty of opportunities at each position with Wyatt Langford (hamstring) and Josh Jung (wrist) on the injured list. Neither is due back until the end of the month at the earliest.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Mariners' Ty France: Plates pair in win

    France went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a run in a win over the Athletics on Friday.

    Dylan Moore stole the show for the Mariners with a five-RBI night, but France got in on the fun early with a timely two-bagger in the fourth that extended Seattle's lead to 3-0 at the time. The veteran's multi-hit effort was already France's third of May, and he's opened the month with a solid .267 average and .333 on-base percentage across eight contests. However, France's strikeout rate in that span is also a bloated 33.3 percent, pushing his season figure to a career high of 24.8 percent over 137 plate appearances.

  • Anthony Rizzo 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Drives home only runs in victory

    Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a home run and two total RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over Tampa Bay.

    Rizzo accounted for both runs in the contest, knocking an RBI single in the fourth inning and providing some insurance with a solo homer in the ninth. The veteran first baseman has reached base safely in all but one of his eight games so far in May, slashing .296/.406/.519 with two homers and seven RBI over that stretch. With seven long balls and 22 RBI through 39 games on the campaign, Rizzo is already more than halfway to the totals he posted over 99 contests last season.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ARI

    Twins' Carlos Santana: Slugs fifth homer

    Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    The veteran first baseman got his bat on a pitch out of the strike zone in the fifth inning against Yusei Kikuchi and poked it just fair down the right-field line, putting the Twins in the lead for good. Santana has been productive over the last few weeks -- all five of his homers on the season have come in his last 15 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .264/.328/.585 with eight runs and 12 RBI.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Pops first homer

    Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Guardians.

    Vaughn finally popped his first home run of the season when he took Pedro Avila deep in the eighth inning. He entered the game with only eight extra-base hits across 146 plate appearances, all of which were doubles. Overall, Vaughn is slashing just .196/.253/.275 across 150 plate appearances.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Finally snaps slump

    Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's win over the Mets.

    Olson hit Atlanta's third and final homer during the third inning and it proved to be the game-winning blast. It was his first long ball since April 7, snapping an uncharacteristic 26-game skid. During that extended drought, he posted a .508 OPS with 30 strikeouts. On the year, Olson is slashing .202/.311/.372 with 13 extra-base hits and 18 RBI through 35 contests.

  • Tyler Nevin 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Tyler Nevin: Sitting Friday

    Nevin is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Mariners, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Nevin will take a seat for a second game in a row Friday as he's currently going through a 0-for-20 dry spell at the plate. Lawrence Butler will draw the start in right field and bat eighth against Seattle.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Back in lineup Friday

    Goldschmidt is starting at first base and batting third in the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Goldschmidt was absent from the starting lineup in the team's 7-1 loss to Milwaukee on Thursday. The veteran first baseman has not registered a hit over his last six appearances, and he is slashing .195/.287/.263 with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate this season. Goldschmidt will look to get back on track against Brewers rookie southpaw Robert Gasser.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Clubs 10th homer

    Naylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.

    Naylor has homered three times over his last eight games and now has 10 long balls on the year. The first baseman is batting .259 (7-for-27) with a 5:4 BB:K through eight contests in May. His career high in homers is 20 from the 2022 campaign, but he's on pace to shatter that mark in 2024. He's slashing .277/.364/.562 with 29 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases over 36 games this season.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Homers in second straight

    Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

    Hoskins increased Milwaukee's lead to three runs in the bottom of the first inning with a two-run shot off Sonny Gray, giving the first baseman his eighth home run of the season. He's also homered in back-to-back games, though Hoskins is still batting just .154 (4-for-26) in May and hasn't recorded multiple hits since April 26 against the Yankees.
