  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Pops first homer

    LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Mets.

    In his third game since recovering from calf and hip injuries to make his belated season debut, LeMahieu was able to poke a Griffin Canning fastball down the right-field line into the Yankee Stadium short porch for a third-inning homer, and his first long ball of the year. The 36-year-old infielder has three hits in eight at-bats since being activated, and he should see regular playing time at second base while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) remains sidelined.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    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.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Out of lineup Saturday

    Castro (knee) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Milwaukee.

    Castro was pulled early from Friday's game against the Brewers after fouling a ball off his knee in the first inning. Though he was able to finish his at-bat, the utility man was replaced in the field for the following frame and will now be held out of the lineup for at least one game. Castro had started in left field Friday with Harrison Bader out of action while battling a groin injury, but Bader is back starting in left Saturday.

  • 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.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Exits with bruised knee

    Castro was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers with a right knee contusion, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Castro fouled a ball off his knee during his at-bat in the first inning of Friday's contest. He was able to finish his AB but was eventually replaced in the field during the second frame. The fact he remained in the game immediately after the incident could indicate his injury isn't too serious, but he may sit out another game or two to properly recover.
