Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL
Giants' Thairo Estrada: Fills stat line Saturday
Estrada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a stolen base, a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Reds.
Estrada received a day off Friday, but it didn't slow down his recent momentum at the plate. He's hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 7-for-27 (.259) with two homers, four RBI, six runs and two stolen bases in that span. The 26-year-old has settled in with a .264/.320/.400 slash line, six homers, 11 steals in 13 attempts, 30 RBI, 40 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple through 259 plate appearances. With Brandon Crawford still shaking off a knee injury, Estrada could shift over from second base to shortstop on occasion in the short term.

Adam Frazier 2B | LAA
Mariners' Adam Frazier: Walks thrice in Friday's win
Frazier went 0-for-2 with three walks in a win over the Angels on Friday.
Frazier was a thorn in the side of the Angels from the bottom of the order, although he wasn't able to cross the plate on any of his three trips on the basepaths. The busy night offensively was a welcome sight for the veteran, who entered the game with an abysmal .129/.156/.129 slash line over his previous 10 games.

Athletics' Tony Kemp: Singles, steals in Friday's loss
Kemp went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Royals on Friday.
The veteran was one of the few Oakland hitters to show a pulse at the plate. Kemp's steal was his fifth of the season, and he'd been hitless in his previous 16 plate appearances coming into Friday's game.

Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH
Mets' Jeff McNeil: On bench again Saturday
McNeil (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
McNeil will sit for the fourth straight game as he continues to manage right hamstring tightness. Given how much time time he's already missed, a move to the injured list appears more likely with each passing day.
