    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Lifts homer in win

    Rojas went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double and a second run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.

    Rojas has homered twice over his last four games. This was his third multi-hit effort of the year, and he's had a tough time getting his bat going while filling a reserve role in the Dodgers' infield. This was his second start in the last week at third base, but he appears to still be on the short side of a platoon with Max Muncy there. Rojas is up to three homers, eight RBI, 11 runs scored, four doubles and a .240/.276/.370 slash line through 45 contests this season.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | TB

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Back with big club

    The Giants recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Wisely will take the spot on the 26-man roster vacated by Justin Verlander (personal), who was placed on the Giants' paternity list in a corresponding move. Wisely has appeared in five major-league games for the Giants this season, with his last outing taking place May 11 against the Twins. He is slashing .230/.308/.357 with six steals, five home runs and 30 RBI across 223 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Sitting again

    Fitzgerald is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Fitzgerald will be out of the lineup for a second straight game and the third time in the Giants' last five contests while Christian Koss starts at second base and bats ninth. Fitzgerald has struggled at the plate in June, having gone 7-for-49 (.143) with two steals, two RBI and a 29.8 percent strikeout rate.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Sitting again Friday

    Estrada (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    The veteran infielder will sit for a third consecutive game after being hit by a pitch on the right hand Tuesday. Estrada was diagnosed with a bruise after X-rays came back negative, so he could be back in action this weekend versus Arizona.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Bangs out three hits Thursday

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with a double in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Rockies.

    The knocks didn't produce any offense, but only because James Wood kept homering in front of him to clear the decks. Garcia has been locked in at the plate for over a month, slashing .327/.358/.525 in his last 106 plate appearances with 11 doubles, three homers, 14 runs and 18 RBI. The one blemish on his resume during that stretch has been his performance on the basepaths -- Garcia has stolen only one bag in five attempts during those 27 games after beginning the season with a perfect 6-for-6 showing.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Three-hit effort in win

    Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

    Cronenworth logged his first multi-hit effort since June 4 versus the Giants. He's still been steady at the plate, hitting safely in eight of his last nine games, batting .313 (10-for-32) in that span. The infielder is up to a .252/.368/.409 slash line with five home runs, 19 RBI, 22 runs scored, two stolen bases, eight doubles and a triple over 50 contests.

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Homers in nightcap

    Gonzales went 4-for-10 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's doubleheader split with the Tigers.

    After going 1-for-5 with a double in Thursday's opener, Gonzales opened the scoring in the nightcap with a homer off Tyler Holton, his second of the season and first since Opening Day. Gonzales has gone 7-for-22 (.318) over his last five games, boosting his slash line to .259/.290/.448 with four RBI and seven runs scored through his first 62 plate appearances this year.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Three hits vs. Toronto

    Marte went 3-for-5 with an RBI double and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-5 win over the Blue Jays.

    Marte registered his second three-hit game of the season Thursday while extending the Diamondbacks' lead to seven runs in the sixth with an RBI double. Marte has been hot at the plate in June, slashing .317/.431/.533 with 15 runs scored, four home runs and 11 RBI in 72 plate appearances this month.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Day off Thursday

    Fitzgerald is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Guardians.

    Fitzgerald will head to the bench for the second time in four contests while he slashed just .143/.218/.163 to begin June. Christian Koss will start at second base and bat ninth for the Giants in the series finale.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Sitting out first game of day

    Donovan is not in the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the White Sox.

    The Cardinals will go with Nolan Gorman at second base in the first game of the twin bill. Donovan should be back in the lineup for the second game of the day.
