  • Blue Jays' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Extends hit streak to 13 games

    Kiner-Falefa went 4-for-5 with an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

    Kiner-Falefa singled and scored in the first inning and added another base hit in the fifth. He smacked an RBI single and scored in the sixth frame and then finished his huge day by doubling and scoring again in the eighth. The 29-year-old has put together a 13-game hit streak and seen his season average climb from .263 to .296. He also has seven home runs, 33 RBI, 32 runs scored and three steals over 277 plate appearances in what has been a surprisingly productive 2024.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Extends hit streak to 11 games

    India went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Cardinals.

    India hit an RBI double and scored in the second inning and then added another RBI double in the seventh. The second baseman is on fire, hitting safely in 11 consecutive games and registering multiple hits in eight straight. He has increased his average to .279 with five home runs, 34 RBI, 38 runs scored and eight steals over 311 plate appearances this season. The 27-year-old will likely continue to hit leadoff until TJ Friedl (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Homers, scores twice in loss

    Rodgers went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 loss to the White Sox.

    Rodgers opened the scoring with a solo home run in the second inning, walked and scored in the fifth and then added a single in the seventh. The second baseman has been great in June, hitting .340 with three home runs and 10 RBI despite missing about two weeks with a hamstring injury. On the year, he is batting .280 with five home runs, 27 RBI and 27 runs scored over 253 plate appearances.

  • Brandon Drury 1B | CHW

    Angels' Brandon Drury: Still out of lineup

    Drury (illness) isn't part of the starting lineup Saturday against Detroit.

    Drury will be held out of the starting lineup for a ninth consecutive contest and it's unclear how close he is to returning. Luis Rengifo will bat second and play second base.

  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Alan Trejo: Enters free agency

    Trejo cleared waivers Saturday and elected to become a free agent.

    Trejo was jettisoned from the Rockies' 40-man roster Friday to make room for Aaron Schunk, and he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old has slashed just .143/.182/.143 in 67 plate appearances this season, and any offer he receives from another organization will almost certainly come in the form of a minor-league deal.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Ankle injury not considered serious

    Manager Oliver Marmol said Saturday that Edman (wrist) was able to field grounders again Friday without any problems with his sprained ankle, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Marmol added that Edman remains on track to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield or Triple-A Memphis sometime next week, barring any setbacks. The 29-year-old infielder has spent all season on the injured list, so an extended stint in the minors will likely be necessary, though it's still possible he'll be able to rejoin the big-league club before the All-Star break.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Idle Saturday

    McNeil isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

    McNeil will get a day off Saturday after going 3-for-4 with a three-run homer during Friday's win. Jose Iglesias will start at second base instead and bat eighth.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Back in lineup Saturday

    Lowe (toe) is serving as the designated hitter and batting second for Saturday's game against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    After missing five games with a fractured right pinky toe, Lowe returned to action Friday as a pinch hitter for Amed Rosario in the bottom of the seventh inning. Lowe will wear a guard over his toe Saturday in his first start since June 22, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports. For the month of June, Lowe is slashing .254/.324/.476 with four home runs and 14 RBI over 63 at-bats.

  • Blue Jays' Spencer Horwitz: Idle vs. southpaw Saturday

    Horwitz is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Horwitz will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the Yankees sending southpaw Nestor Cortes to the mound. Horwitz went 1-for-4 in Friday's 16-5 loss to the Yankees, and for the season he's slashing .340/.484/.500 with two home runs and six RBI over 64 plate appearances. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at second base Saturday and bat second.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Homers in return to lineup

    Torres went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 16-5 rout of Toronto.

    Torres was held out of action Wednesday and Thursday following a prolonged slump, and the time off appeared to serve him well. The second baseman contributed to the team's offensive explosion Friday with a two-run blast in the sixth inning and a sacrifice fly in the ninth. Torres finished with his first multi-hit game in over a month -- he hadn't accomplished that feat since going 2-for-4 against San Diego on May 26.
