  • Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL

    Rockies' Kyle Farmer: On bench for nightcap

    Farmer is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Nationals.

    Farmer will take a seat after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the team's 3-2 loss in Game 1 on Sunday. Aaron Schunk will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in Game 2 versus Washington.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Runs wild Sunday

    Turang went 2-for-3 with a walk, three runs scored, an RBI and three stolen bases in Sunday's 14-1 victory over the Athletics.

    Turang singled before stealing both second and third base in the first inning, coming around to score on a throwing error by Shea Langeliers. The second baseman drew a walk and stole second base again in the second inning and scored on a double from Jackson Chourio. Turang later added another single and a sacrifice fly to round out his day. The 25-year-old is now batting .322 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 23 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 22 games in 2025.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: On bench for matinee

    Garcia is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader in Colorado, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Garcia started the past 12 games but will sit for Sunday's matinee after posting a .238/.327/.286 slash line during that stretch. Amed Rosario will shift to the keystone to open up third base for Trey Lipscomb, who is making his season debut.

  • Ronny Simon 2B | PIT

    Marlins' Ronny Simon: Contract selected by Miami

    The Marlins selected Simon's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

    The 25-year-old will take the roster spot of Griffin Conine, who was placed on the injured list Sunday with a dislocated shoulder. Simon has a .962 OPS through 15 games with Jacksonville this year and will be making his MLB debut when he gets into a game.

  • Tim Tawa 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Homers in loss

    Tawa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs.

    Arizona's bats were mostly quiet on the day. Tawa's homer in the ninth inning, his second of the season, was one of only four hits for the team -- Corbin Carroll had the other three. Tawa has reached base safely in six of seven starts and is slashing .217/.321/.522 over nine outings since being called up to help fill in for the injured Ketel Marte (hamstring) at second base.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Perfect at the plate in win

    Garcia went 2-for-2 with three walks, four runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 12-11 win over the Rockies.

    Garcia was a pest all game, scoring four runs and swiping his third bag of the season. It was an encouraging effort for the 24-year-old, who is slashing just .206/.271/.302 with one home run, five RBI, 10 runs scored and three steals across 70 plate appearances this season. While his slow start and tendency to sit against lefties have been discouraging, a solid 6:8 BB:K suggests he can turn things around.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Two knocks in debut

    Durbin went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

    This was Durbin's major-league debut, and he batted ninth while starting at third base. The 25-year-old prospect has a chance to get a long look at the hot corner given the Brewers' lack of other viable options there. At Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2024, he logged 29 steals on 32 attempts while slashing .287/.396/.471 over 82 games. Durbin should be able to carve out some fantasy value in NL-only leagues at a minimum if he can be steady at the plate and swift on the basepaths during his first stint in the majors.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Scores three times Friday

    Turang went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and three runs scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

    Turang bounced back from an 0-for-4 effort Wednesday versus the Tigers, which was just his second hitless effort of the year. The speedy second baseman has swiped three bags over his last five games. He's up to a .313/.349/.438 slash line with five steals, three home runs, 10 RBI and 20 runs scored over 20 contests as the Brewers' main leadoff hitter.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Aiming to beat return timeframe

    Cronenworth (ribs) took groundballs, worked on change of direction, played catch and took dry swings Friday, and he's optimistic that he can return ahead of his initial 4-to-6 week return timeframe, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Cronenworth landed on the IL on April 11 due to a non-displaced right rib fracture. Though such an injury typically takes 4-to-6 weeks to heal, it's possible that the veteran infielder could return before the fracture totally heals, and Padres manager Mike Shildt suggested Friday that such a scenario would be dependent on Cronenworth's pain tolerance. While he hopes to be back in the Padres' lineup in less than four weeks, Cronenworth also noted that there is uncertainty about his ability to do so, explaining, "It's hard to say, because it's like, I don't know what's gonna have an adverse reaction yet ... we're kind of going until that happens. ... It's like, let's just keep progressing as we're progressing, and see where it ends."

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Coming alive during hitting streak

    Baty went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

    After walking to lead off the third inning and promptly stealing second base, Baty later jump-started New York's two-run fifth frame with a leadoff double on a sharp line drive to right field. The 2019 first-rounder is getting opportunities at second base while Jeff McNeil (oblique) is on the injured list, and Baty is starting to come alive at the plate following a 3-for-27 start. During his current five-game hitting streak, he's batting .368 (7-for-19) with two RBI, two doubles, three runs scored and one stolen base.
