  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Rolling since demotion

    Lawlar has gone 18-for-63 (.286) with 10 extra-base hits, 14 RBI, five steals and 11 runs scored over 15 games since being sent back to Triple-A Reno. He's started at shortstop (nine starts), third base (five) and second base (one).

    Lawlar had a rough go of it in the majors during a brief call-up in May, but he's overcome that disappointment and continued to produce at the Triple-A level. Lawlar has a .321/.411/.586 slash line with 19 doubles, four triples, 10 home runs, 45 RBI, 18 steals and 49 runs over 249 plate appearances for the Aces this season.

  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Deposits pair of doubles

    McLain went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

    McLain continued his strong June, extending his hitting streak to nine games while notching his first three-hit performance of the season. The 25-year-old has struggled overall in 2025, slashing just .209/.302/.340 with 15 extra-base hits and 26 RBI through 68 games. However, he appears to be rounding into form and showing flashes of his 2023 self, when he posted a .290/.357/.507 line with 43 extra-base hits and 50 RBI in only 89 games.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Gets on base five times Saturday

    Marte went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

    Marte has gone 10-for-15 over his last three contests, adding seven RBI in that span. The second baseman is clearly taking advantage of this weekend's series in Colorado, especially since he's had momentum all month -- he's batting .371 (26-for-70) with 10 extra-base hits over 18 games in June. Marte is now hitting .311 on the year, the first time he's been over .300 since May 5. He has a 1.007 OPS and has added 13 home runs, 30 RBI, 43 runs scored, 11 doubles and two stolen bases over 50 games.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Estrada (hand) is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Estrada will be out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game due to a right hand injury, but he told reporters Saturday that he doesn't believe he'll need a stint on the injured list, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Orlando Arcia will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

  • Justin Foscue 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Joining big-league club

    The Rangers recalled Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    Foscue will fill Jake Burger's (oblique) spot on the 26-man roster after Burger was placed on the 10-day injured list. Foscue will be making his 2025 MLB debut if he gets into a game. He slashed .269/.360/.487 with 10 home runs in 229 plate appearances with Round Rock while playing first and second base.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Resumes June surge

    India went 3-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Padres.

    His fifth-inning shot off Nick Pivetta gave the Royals a 4-0 lead. It was India's fourth homer of the season, and three of them have come in his last 15 games -- a stretch in which the 28-year-old super-utility player is slashing .279/.308/.475 with nine RBI and 10 runs despite suffering a partial shoulder dislocation a week ago.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Taking Saturday off

    LeMahieu isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

    LeMahieu will get a chance to rest his legs after going 2-for-4 with a double during Friday's loss. Oswald Peraza will start at the keystone and bat ninth in LeMahieu's place.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Belts first career homer

    Moore went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

    The rookie second baseman took Bryan King deep in the seventh inning to tie the game at 2-2. It was Moore's first career homer, and the eighth overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft has started six of eight games since his promotion, batting .182 (4-for-22) with a 1:7 BB:K as he gets his bearings in the majors.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: More playing time with Herrera out

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that Gorman will receive "more opportunity" following the injury to Ivan Herrera (hamstring), Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Gorman made his 10th start in 11 games Friday, so he had already been playing a lot lately even before Herrera was hurt. However, the Herrera injury creates a clear path to at-bats at designated hitter against right-handed pitching, and Gorman can also see some action at second base on days when Brendan Donovan plays the outfield. Gorman is slashing .273/.385/.545 with three home runs in June.

  • Diamondbacks' Ildemaro Vargas: Joins homer party in win

    Vargas started at second base and went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two additional runs scored in Friday's 14-8 win over Colorado.

    Vargas' two-run homer in the fifth inning snapped a 7-7 tie. It was the first home run of the season for Vargas, who was summoned from Triple-A Reno on May 29. Friday's start was just his fourth start (sixth appearance) in 20 games with the Diamondbacks.
