  • Ronny Simon 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Ronny Simon: Claimed by Pittsburgh

    The Pirates claimed Simon off waivers from the Marlins on Monday.

    Simon has slashed .234/.327/.277 in 56 plate appearances in the majors this season but offers defensive versatility with the ability to play all over the infield and also the corner outfield spots. Tanner Rainey was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Homers in Sunday's loss

    Edman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Edman found a groove against the Yankees' pitching during this weekend series, going 6-for-12 with a homer, three RBI and three doubles over three games. The 30-year-old hadn't hit a long ball since April 22 versus the Cubs, which was before his stint on the injured list due to an ankle issue. Edman is now at a .247/.287/.487 slash line with nine homers, 29 RBI, 26 runs scored and two stolen bases over 42 contests this season.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | KC

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Pops third homer

    Frazier went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Padres.

    Frazier has hit fairly well over his last 11 games, going 14-for-40 (.350) with five extra-base hits and a 4:8 BB:K in that span. His homer Sunday gave the Pirates a 4-1 lead in the fourth inning, but they were unable to make it last. Frazier is up to three homers, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored, four stolen bases and eight doubles over 55 contests this season, though he has a relatively unimpressive .249/.319/.349 slash line overall.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Tallies three hits in win

    Hoerner went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Reds.

    Hoerner was caught stealing for just the third time this season in 14 attempts, but it otherwise was a productive afternoon. The speedy infielder pushed his batting average over .300 to sit at .301 through 55 games. Hoerner's career best in the category is .302, which he set back in 2021, albeit in only 44 games as he missed significant time due to injuries.

  • Javier Sanoja SS | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Starting in center field Sunday

    Sanoja will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Sanoja will draw his fifth straight start and his second in a row in center field, but he's still likely to notice a downturn in playing time in the near future following Xavier Edwards' return from the injured list Saturday. With Edwards and Otto Lopez entrenched as the Marlins' top options in the middle infield, Sanoja could be limited to starts in the outfield against left-handed pitching in place of either Jesus Sanchez or Kyle Stowers.

  • Kyle Farmer 2B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Farmer: Idle for series finale

    Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Farmer had started the last three games, all at different positions (second base, designated hitter and first base), but he went 0-for-8 at the dish during that stretch. First base appears to be Farmer's clearest path to consistent playing time after the Rockies demoted Michael Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday. Keston Hiura was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move, and he'll get the nod at first base Sunday in his Rockies debut.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Estrada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Estrada started the past two games after being reinstated from the injured list Friday, and he'll take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-7 with an RBI and a run in his first two MLB games of 2025. Orlando Arcia will man the keystone while Sam Hilliard enters the lineup in center field for the Rockies.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Racks up four hits in rout

    Edman went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and two RBI in an 18-2 victory versus the Yankees on Saturday.

    Edman and Hyeseong Kim combined to go 8-for-9 out of the bottom two spots in the Dodgers' order to contribute to an impressive performance by the team's offense. Edman had been in need of a big day at the plate, as he entered Saturday having batted just .143 (5-for-35) over 10 games since returning from the injured list May 18. Edman hasn't homered in any of his past 17 games after beginning the campaign with eight long balls through 24 contests, but he does have three extra-base hits -- all doubles -- through the first two games of the weekend series against the Yankees.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Collects four hits, including homer

    Kim went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, three total runs and two total RBI against the Yankees in an 18-2 victory Saturday.

    Kim got the start at shortstop with Mookie Betts (toe) sitting out a second straight day, though Kim shifted to center field later in the contest. The rookie reached base all five times he came to the plate, and he bashed his second big-league homer with a 412-foot, two-run blast in the second inning. Kim's opportunities have been sporadic -- Saturday's start marked just his second across the Dodgers' past nine contests -- but he's been impressive when in the lineup, slashing .422/.458/.600 with four extra-base hits, 13 runs, seven RBI and four stolen bases through 48 plate appearances.

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Back in action

    Gonzales (ankle) went 3-for-5 in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

    Gonzales is returning from a fractured ankle, but his rehab was also interrupted by a hand injury after being hit by a pitch. He returned to action May 23 and has gone 7-for-26 across six games since.
