    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Hamstring strain seen as mild

    Gorman said Friday that the right hamstring strain that sent him to the 10-day injured list is "super mild," John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Gorman has remained with the Cardinals on their road trip as he continues with strengthening his right leg, and he does not anticipate needing a rehab assignment before returning. It sounds like he has a good shot to be activated April 12 when first eligible.

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Hitting in batting cage

    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Friday that McNeil (oblique) has been hitting off a machine in the batting cage, SNY.tv reports.

    McNeil is working his way back from a right oblique strain, which he suffered in mid-March. He is surely going to require a rehab assignment before returning and it's not clear when that might come, but he's progressing.

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Out with hamstring strain

    The Cardinals placed Gorman on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 2, due to a right hamstring strain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Gorman presumably suffered the injury during his last appearance Tuesday versus the Angels, during which he went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored. Prior to the injury, the 24-year-old had started just two of the Cardinals' first five games with Brendan Donovan and Alec Burleson operating as the primary second baseman and designated hitter, respectively. Gorman will be eligible to be reinstated April 12, though he could be sidelined beyond the 10-day minimum.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Out versus right-hander

    Baty is absent from the lineup for Friday's tilt versus the Blue Jays, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    After starting each of the first three games at second base against right-handers, Baty has now been on the bench for two of the last three contests versus righties. Luisangel Acuna will be at the keystone and batting eighth versus righty Kevin Gausman in the series opener.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Smacks second homer

    Campbell went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 8-4 victory over Baltimore.

    Campbell extended the Red Sox lead to 4-1 in the second inning with a homer off Charlie Morton that left his bat at 104 mph, giving the rookie his second home run this season. Campbell has gotten off to a blistering start to his major-league career, going 10-for-24 (.417) with six runs scored, four RBI and a 1.333 OPS in his first seven games.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Extends hitting streak in win

    Turang went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Reds.

    While Turang has started each of Milwaukee's first seven games at second base, he's now hit ninth in the batting order four times so far this season. Each of those four starts in the ninth spot have come against southpaws, however, so fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed by the lefty-hitting Turang's frequent placement in the bottom of the lineup early on. Across 28 at-bats, Turang is hitting .321 with one home run, four RBI, six runs scored and one stolen base while hitting safely in each contest.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Adds another homer to fast start

    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-7 win over Arizona.

    Chisholm took Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly deep for a two-run shot in the fourth inning, which helped chase the struggling righty from the game. The speedy 27-year-old slugger now has four homers -- tied for third in the majors -- through six games for a fast start to 2025, hitting .292 with eight RBI, six runs scored and one stolen base over 24 at-bats.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Getting day off Thursday

    Marte is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees.

    It's the first day off this season for Marte, who agreed to a contract extension with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Garrett Hampson will start at second base and bat eighth while Marte gets a breather.

  • Kyle Farmer 2B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Farmer: Not in starting nine

    Farmer is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.

    Farmer has been the Rockies' primary second baseman while Thairo Estrada (wrist) is recuperating, but he'll begin Thursday's matinee on the bench. Tyler Freeman is at the keystone and batting ninth for Colorado.

  • Tyler Freeman 3B | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: In Thursday's lineup

    Freeman (wrist) will start at second base and bat ninth in Thursday's game versus the Phillies.

    Freeman hasn't played since being hit on the left wrist by a pitch in Sunday's game versus the Rays, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Thursday's series finale. It's the second start this season for the former Guardian.
