  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Athletics transferred Gelof (wrist/ribs) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Gelof will vacate his spot on the 40-man roster in a purely transactional move, as the second baseman has been sidelined since March 26. Gelof had been recovering from surgery on his right wrist but got pulled from his rehab assignment May 5 after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his ribs. The 25-year-old remains without a timetable for return.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Sitting out against Sale

    Cronenworth is not in the lineup for Friday's tilt in Atlanta.

    Cronenworth is an everyday player but will occasionally sit against tougher lefties, and Chris Sale -- who starts for Atlanta on Friday -- qualifies. Jose Iglesias will cover second base and bat seventh for the Padres.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Back in lineup Friday

    Torres (lower leg) will DH and bat second in Friday's game against the Guardians.

    Torres left Thursday's game against Cleveland after the third inning due to discomfort in his lower right leg. However, the injury wasn't severe enough to keep him out of Friday's starting nine. Torres has one hit in his last 12 at-bats.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Out of Friday's lineup

    McNeil is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

    The left-handed-hitting McNeil will begin the contest on the bench as the Dodgers send southpaw Clayton Kershaw to the bump. Fellow left-handed-swinger Brett Baty will cover second base for the Mets.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Sitting against left-hander

    Acuna is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

    Each of Acuna's last four starts have come against left-handed pitching, but he's not in there Friday versus southpaw Clayton Kershaw. He's now been in the lineup just twice across the Mets' last six contests. Brett Baty is handling second base and batting eighth.

  • Reds' Garrett Hampson: Gets MLB deal from Reds

    The Reds signed Hampson to a one-year contract Friday.

    Hampson was cut loose by the Diamondbacks earlier this week after slashing only .167/.359/.167 over 41 plate appearances, but he has quickly landed on his feet with a new big-league contract. The 30-year-old will serve in a utility role for Cincinnati.

  • Nick Loftin 1B | KC

    Royals' Nick Loftin: Back in big leagues

    The Royals recalled Loftin from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

    The 26-year-old is taking the roster spot vacated by Hunter Renfroe, who has been designated for assignment. Loftin sports a .295/.451/.468 slash line with four home runs, 12 steals and a 22:39 K:BB over 40 Triple-A games. He's primarily been used at third base by Omaha this year but has also seen action at first base, second base and left field, and he could find opportunities around the diamond on a Royals club that's starved for offense.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Swipes seventh bag

    Garcia went 0-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning win over Atlanta.

    The second baseman has gone 4-for-20 with a homer, a steal and six RBI in five games since rejoining the Nationals following a stint on the paternity list. Garcia's .222/.271/.346 slash line on the season is a far cry from the .282/.318/.444 line he delivered in a breakout 2024, but he's maintained some fantasy value with four homers, seven stolen bases, 19 RBI and 20 runs in 43 contests.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Clubs homer in loss

    Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-2 loss to the Astros.

    This was Moore's first multi-hit effort since May 7, his second game back from a mild hip injury. Over the previous 11 contests, he went just 6-for-29 (.207) with a home run, four RBI and a 4:15 BB:K. The utility player still gets in the lineup a majority of the time, but his recent struggles at the plate could see his role reduced slightly until he turns things around. Moore has a .279/.339/.514 slash line with eight homers, 16 RBI, 20 runs scored, eight stolen bases and two doubles across 124 plate appearances. While the hitting has been decent overall, he's had some struggles defensively -- his five errors this season already match his totals from each of the previous two years.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Dealing with leg issue

    Torres exited Thursday's game against the Guardians due to lower right leg discomfort, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Torres was pulled after hitting a hard line drive to end the third inning. It's unclear how serious the issue is, or if Torres will be forced to miss additional time.
