Mariners' Michael Arroyo: Raps out three hits
Arroyo went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Angels.
This is Arroyo's second multi-hit effort in a row and his fourth overall. The 21-year-old is now batting .353 over 14 games in the majors, adding one home run, two stolen bases, four RBI and five runs scored. Arroyo's plate discipline is already evident -- he has a 5:6 BB:K, and that should help him as he tries to make a full-time adjustment to the majors moving forward.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Crushes go-ahead homer Saturday
Turang went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run during the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Reaches four times in win
Lee went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Lee continued his strong recent stretch of a play with another multi-hit performance. Over his last eight games, the rookie infielder is batting .371 with a home run, four runs scored and four RBI. Lee will get one more chance to add to his stats if he's in the lineup Sunday before turning his attention toward 2027. The 23-year-old has shown plenty of promise and figures to be a key part of Detroit's future plans.

Nicky Lopez 2B | TEX
Rangers' Nicky Lopez: Leaves Saturday's game
Lopez (ankle/heel) was removed from Saturday's game against the Twins, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Per Wilson, Lopez tweaked his left ankle/heel while trying to beat out a bunt at the top of the third inning, and he initially stayed in defensively before being replaced by Cody Freeman in the fourth. The Rangers should have an update on Lopez's status for Sunday's game once the veteran infielder undergoes more tests.

Lowe has put together an impressive first season with the Pirates, slashing .260/.331/.493 in 150 games with 35 homers and 96 RBI, the second-highest totals of his career after his 39-homer, 99-RBI eruption for the Rays in 2021.
