  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Clubs 13th homer

    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Marlins in extras.

    Lowe hit his 13th home run on the season Saturday and knocked in his 34th RBI of the year in the process. The 30-year-old is on pace to top 30 home runs and 80 RBI, which would be his best season since 2021 -- the last time he was healthy enough to play more than 109 games. He is currently slashing .247/.298/.454 for the campaign.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Stays hot in win

    Semien went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 5-0 victory over the Nationals.

    After going 0-for-4 in the series opener against the Nationals, Semien bounced back Saturday to stay hot at the plate. He struggled mightily in May, slashing just .207/.302/.272 with two extra-base hits and eight RBI, but the second baseman is off to a scorching start to June with a .421/.522/.895 line, five extra-base hits and five RBI through six games. For a Rangers team that has underwhelmed in 2025, a resurgence from the 34-year-old could be a key factor in helping them work their way back into contention.

  • Chris Taylor LF | LAA

    Angels' Chris Taylor: Makes impact off bench in win

    Taylor went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Mariners. He was also hit by two pitches.

    Jorge Soler (groin) was pulled from the game early, so Taylor filled in as the right fielder. He made an impact right away with a second-inning homer and also plated the tying run one frame later. Should Soler miss any time, Taylor would be an option to fill in until Mike Trout is ready to play in right field. Taylor is slashing .220/.258/.356 with one homer, five RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base over 62 plate appearances between the Angels and the Dodgers this season.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Getting rest

    Muncy is out of Saturday's lineup against the Orioles.

    Muncy had started three straight games at third base since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. He's gone 3-for-13 with a home run and five strikeouts and will hit the bench Saturday in favor of Logan Davidson.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Resting Saturday

    Urias is out of Saturday's lineup against the Orioles.

    Urias is sitting for the second time in his last three games and is hitting just .182 across his last 10 starts. Max Schuemann will take over at second base and hit ninth.

  • Chris Taylor LF | LAA

    Angels' Chris Taylor: Absent from Saturday's lineup

    Taylor is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

    Taylor had started three straight games at second base entering Saturday's matchup. However, he'll head to the bench Saturday with Kevin Newman entering the lineup to play third base, shifting Luis Rengifo to second base.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Idle Saturday

    Chisholm is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Saturday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

    Chisholm will take a breather from Saturday's AL East showdown after going 3-for-5 with two steals, one home run and four RBI in Friday's win. Pablo Reyes will start at third base and bat eighth. Chisholm has batted .500 (8-for-16) since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Sitting Saturday

    Keith is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Saturday.

    Keith will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-3 in Friday's 3-1 win. Kerry Carpenter will serve as the designated hitter and bat third while Riley Greene, Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez man the outfield for the Tigers.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Smacks second homer

    Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against the Guardians.

    Rodgers has been relegated to a bench role, with Friday's start marking his first since May 28. He made the most of his chance by popping his second home run of the season in the sixth inning. Across 115 plate appearances on the campaign, Rodgers has hit just .194/.270/.291.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Homers in three-hit effort

    Holliday went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

    Holliday had gone just 3-for-22 (.136) over his previous six games, though two of his hits in that span went for extra bases. This was his fifth three-hit game of the season. The infielder is up to eight homers, 27 RBI, 24 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .268/.320/.445 slash line through 56 contests. Holliday has been steady enough lately to retain the leadoff spot in the lineup since mid-May.
