  • Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Carried off field

    Kim had to be carried off the field during Thursday's game against the Nationals after fouling a ball off his left knee, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.

    No details have been officially released yet, but early signs point toward Kim missing at least a few days. If he is forced to sit out, Rougned Odor and Brandon Dixon figure to see an increased share of at-bats.

  • Nolan Gorman 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Powers offense in win

    Gorman went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run during Thursday's 2-1 win against the Reds.

    The 23-year-old delivered the first run of the contest with an RBI double during the eighth inning, and he came around to score on a wild pitch after stealing third base. The late double extended Gorman's hit streak to 15 games, and he's batting .377 with five doubles, six homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs during that stretch.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Marlins' Luis Arraez: Out due to leg cramp

    Arraez (leg) is absent from the lineup Thursday at Colorado.

    Arraez was pulled from Wednesday's contest because of a left leg cramp. It's believed to be a minor issue, but he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game. Xavier Edwards will start at second base and bat ninth for the Marlins on Thursday afternoon against the Rockies and left-hander Kyle Freeland.

  • Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Swats fifth homer

    Kim went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals.

    He took Trevor Williams deep in the fifth inning to get the Padres within a run, and he likely would have collected another hit in the seventh if Carl Edwards hadn't snared his scorching line drive back up the middle in pure self-defense. Kim has hit safely in six straight games, and through 19 contests in May he's slashing a solid .273/.338/.445 with three of his five homers on the year.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Pops fourth homer

    Donovan went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-3 loss to the Reds.

    He took Ben Lively deep in the fourth inning for his fourth homer of the year, but the Cardinals were already in a 5-0 hole at that point. Donovan remains an everyday player due to all the injuries in the St. Louis outfield, but his .217/.347/.333 slash line in May offers little fantasy appeal.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Marlins' Luis Arraez: Pulled due to leg cramp

    Arraez was removed from Wednesday's game against Colorado due to a left leg cramp, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The decision to pull Arraez was labeled as precautionary, so it's likely nothing serious for the 26-year-old infielder. He should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Paces offense in win

    Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

    Neither team generated a ton of offense, but Hoerner sparked the Cubs' win from the leadoff spot. The infielder is now batting .295 this season despite entering this game in a mini 1-for-11 slump, and he has scored 27 runs in 40 games. So long as Hoerner is healthy and sitting atop the order, he should continue to produce strong fantasy numbers the rest of the way.

  • Luis Urias 2B | TOR

    Brewers' Luis Urias: Begins rehab assignment

    Urias (hamstring) is beginning a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville.

    Urias will play third base and bat second for the Nashville Sounds in his first live game since he suffered a severe left hamstring strain back on Opening Day. He seems likely to be activated from the 60-day injured list in the early portion of the Brewers' upcoming road trip, which begins May 30 and runs through June 5.

  • Owen Miller 2B | CHC

    Brewers' Owen Miller: Hits home run from cleanup spot

    Miller went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Astros.

    Miller moved into the cleanup spot Wednesday after going 3-for-4 from the sixth spot in Tuesday's win. After failing to reach in his first two at-bats, the versatile Miller launched a solo shot off Brandon Bielak in the seventh to extend Milwaukee's lead to 3-0. Miller has been on an absolute tear in May, racking up 24 hits (10 for extra bases), eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 16 appearances.

  • Isan Diaz 2B | DET

    Giants' Isan Diaz: Debuts at Triple-A

    Diaz (hamstring) was reinstated from Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list Saturday and has gone 3-for-8 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run in his first two games of the season.

    Diaz had been sidelined for more than two months with a hamstring strain that was apparently severe. The 26-year-old hasn't missed a beat in his return to the Triple-A lineup and retains a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster, so it wouldn't be surprising if he ranked near the top of the list for a promotion the next time San Francisco requires an extra infielder.
