Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL
Rockies' Kyle Farmer: Drives in four runs Saturday
Farmer went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and four total RBI in Saturday's 14-12 victory versus Arizona.
Farmer had two big hits in the victory -- a two-run homer in the third inning that tied the score 6-6 and a two-run double in the sixth that pulled the Rockies within a run. The veteran infielder's long ball was his second in as many games after he began the campaign with no homers through his first 35 contests. Farmer doesn't have an everyday role with the Rockies, as he started Saturday for just the second time across the team's past five games.

The second baseman has gone just 11-for-55 in May, though he has hit safely in four of his past five games. He's slashing .263/.329/.397 with four home runs, 24 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine steals across 174 plate appearances this season and continues to hit leadoff against right-handed starters.

Marlins' Otto Lopez: Rejoins team
Lopez (ankle) rejoined the Marlins in Miami on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Lopez has been sidelined since May 4 due to a sprained right ankle and appeared in one rehab game Friday with Triple-A Jacksonville. He isn't yet activated, though he may return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the Rays.

Tyler Fitzgerald CF | SF
Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Doubles in return
Fitzgerald (rib) went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Friday's 9-1 win over the Athletics.
Fitzgerald was placed on the 10-day injured list May 1 due to a left rib fracture but was reinstated Friday after a brief rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento. The 27-year-old infielder drew a walk in the third inning before coming around to score on a grand slam by Wilmer Flores. Fitzgerald also lined his fifth double of the 2025 campaign. He's now slashing .286/.348/.440 with two homers, five steals, 15 runs scored, seven RBI and a 7:22 BB:K across 94 plate appearances this season.

Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM
Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
The Mets reinstated Mauricio (knee) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.
Mauricio missed all of last season while recovering from a torn ACL that required multiple surgeries to repair. With the 20 days on his rehab assignment up, the 24-year-old infielder will report to Syracuse after playing 10 rehab games between Single-A and Double-A, during which he went just 4-for-32 at the plate.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Busy on basepaths in loss
Turang went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Twins.
The second baseman very nearly manufactured a run by himself in the first inning, slapping a single to left field and then swiping second and third base, but the Brewers couldn't bring Turang home and never got another runner that close to scoring again. The 25-year-old is up to 11 steals on the year in 14 attempts while slashing .288/.365/.365 with three homers, 16 RBI and 32 runs in 42 games.

Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC
Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Scores three times in romp
Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 13-3 win over the White Sox. He also stole a base.
Hoerner contributed to the easy win from the No. 8 spot in the lineup, as he set a new single-game season high in runs scored and also stole his ninth base of the year. Despite sliding down toward the bottom of Chicago's order, the infielder maintains plenty of fantasy upside due to his ability to swipe bases. Hoerner recorded a total of 74 steals over the last two seasons.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Steals base in win
Marte went 0-for-4 with a stolen base and run scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rockies.
Marte was in Friday's starting lineup after he was pulled from Wednesday's game with stiffness in his hip. Thursday's off day allowed for healing, and Marte showed the hip wasn't an issue by stealing his first base of the season.

Tim Tawa 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Starts in center against lefty
Tawa started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 8-0 win over Colorado.
Tawa replaced Alek Thomas in center field against Rockies left-hander Carson Palmquist. He also replaced Thomas against San Francisco southpaw Robbie Ray earlier in the week. Tawa was dislodged from an infield utility role when the Diamondbacks called up Jordan Lawlar, but he'll fill the short side of a platoon in center. Tawa carries a .228 average (18-for-79), but he's slugged five home runs and three doubles (.228 ISO) through 27 games.
