  • Sam Haggerty LF | TEX

    Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Added to big-league roster

    The Rangers selected Haggerty's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

    Haggerty inked a minor-league deal with Texas during the offseason after missing most of last season due to an Achilles injury, and he's enjoyed a strong start to 2025 at Round Rock with a .313/.383/.398 slash line and seven steals in 22 games. The 30-year-old will provide the Rangers with some outfield depth, though he's also seen action at first, second and third base during his big-league career. He's starting in center field and batting leadoff for the Rangers on Friday in Detroit.

  • Brewers' Andruw Monasterio: Back with big club

    The Brewers recalled Monasterio from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Monasterio slashed just .208/.303/.272 over 59 games with Milwaukee last season. He will be used as a utility infielder.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Back from injured list

    The Padres reinstated Cronenworth (ribs) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    The 31-year-old has been sidelined for the past month due to a non-displaced rib fracture, but he's ready to rejoin the Padres after going 3-for-7 with a homer and four walks during a three-game rehab assignment. Cronenworth was off to a hot start prior to the injury with an .895 OPS in 44 plate appearances.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Shifted to 60-day injured list

    The Rays transferred Kim (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The move cleared a 40-man roster spot for Connor Seabold. Kim's timeline to return hasn't changed, as he had always been expected back from shoulder surgery in late May at the earliest. Kim began increasing the intensity of his baseball activities in late April, but it's not clear when he will be ready for a rehab assignment.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Resuming on-field drills

    Estrada (wrist) has resumed fielding drills and running the bases this week, MLB.com reports.

    Estrada resumed swinging the bat last weekend as he works toward his Rockies debut after fracturing his wrist late in spring training. He's likely nearing a rehab assignment and should have the chance to be activated by late May or early June.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Warming up at Akron

    Bazzana went 3-for-5 with a double and scored three runs for Double-A Akron on Thursday.

    Bazzana is warming up with the weather and extended his current hit streak to six games Thursday. During the month of May, the first overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft is slashing .310/.333/.517 with a home run, two RBI and eight runs over seven games.

  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Swipes ninth bag

    McLain went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.

    Soon after McLain's return from the injured list in mid-April, his average plummeted below the Mendoza Line and has stayed there. However, he is making the most of the times he does get on base. Over the last 11 contests, McLain is batting .190 (8-for-42) with six walks and six stolen bases. He's up to nine steals over 30 games on the season, putting him on pace to eclipse the career-high 14 steals he delivered in 2023. McLain's most prolific season in the minors was 2022, when he swiped 27 bags across 103 games at Double-A Chattanooga.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Goes yard Thursday

    Marte went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

    Marte hit his first homer of the season, stretching Arizona's lead to 5-0 in the fifth inning. The second baseman missed nearly a month due to a hamstring issue, so he's likely still working on his timing at the plate. Through 14 contests this year, he's batting .267 with a .789 OPS, two RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases over 54 plate appearances. Marte should handle a starting role most of the time, but Tim Tawa has gotten some extra looks at the keystone while Marte gets regular rest to avoid aggravating his hamstring, which has been a recurring concern in his career.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Goes yard in three-hit attack

    Stott went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Rays.

    Stott snapped a 13-game homerless drought, ripping multiple extra-base hits for just the second time this season. The middle infielder has settled in as Philadelphia's leadoff batter, having now hit first in 20 games this year, but his splits should continue to render him an inconsistent fantasy option. The lefty-hitting Stott is batting just .200 with a .584 OPS through 25 at-bats against left-handed pitching, but he's hitting .295 with an .816 OPS across 105 at-bats versus righties.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Homers in nightcap

    Keith went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in an 11-1 win over the Rockies in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

    The lefty-hitting Keith was out of the lineup versus southpaw Kyle Freeland in Game 1. In the nightcap, Keith started at second and batted third, giving Gleyber Torres a chance to rest his legs as the designated hitter. Keith is coming around in limited action -- all four of his homers this season have come over his last eight games, a span in which he's 8-for-23 (.348) with eight RBI. The infielder is batting .215 with a .714 OPS, 11 RBI, 17 runs scored and no stolen bases across 35 games this season. He continues to see semi-regular action at first base, second base and designated hitter.
