Bazzana went 4-for-4 with two home runs, three total runs and five total RBI in an 8-1 win against the Astros on Saturday.

Bazzana didn't take long to set the tone for his big performance, belting the first pitch of the game from Spencer Arrighetti over the outfield wall for a home run. The talented rookie added a three-run blast in the fifth inning to notch the first multi-homer game of his career. Bazzana also logged four hits for the first time as a big leaguer and racked up a career-best five RBI. He had been batting just .182 through 15 games in June entering Saturday, but Bazzana has nonetheless had a strong beginning to his major-league career, slashing .274/.369/.476 with seven homers, 11 doubles, 23 RBI, 22 runs and 11 stolen bases through 46 contests.

Albies went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Albies recorded the 11th multi-homer game of his career and his first of the season, highlighted Saturday by a walk-off, two-run shot. After posting a career-low .671 OPS over 667 regular-season plate appearances in 2025, the 29-year-old second baseman is returning to form in 2026. Through 322 trips to the plate, Albies is batting .284 with 12 long balls, 13 doubles, 40 RBI and 50 runs scored.

The Red Sox recalled Seigler from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

With Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the injured list due to forearm inflammation, Seigler will rejoin the big club to help bolster Boston's infield depth. The 27-year-old has spent the vast majority of the season at Triple-A, slashing .289/.405/.437 with three homers, 23 RBI and 18 runs scored through 163 plate appearances. He could make an occasional start while the Red Sox are without Kiner-Falefa and Nick Sogard (oblique), though Andruw Monasterio is likely the frontrunner for regular playing time.

The Blue Jays acquired Urias from the Diamondbacks on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Urias, an eight-year MLB veteran, has played well this season at the Triple-A level in the Pacific Coast League (.939 OPS in 27 games) and is expected to join Toronto's major-league squad after exercising an upward mobility clause in his contract. Zwelling notes Urias' low chase rates throughout his time in the majors made him an appealing target for the Blue Jays, and the 29-year-old will now receive another big-league opportunity in his new organization.

The Red Sox placed Kiner-Falefa on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Friday, with left forearm inflammation, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Kiner-Falefa was a late scratch from the lineup before Friday's game, and his forearm will now force him to remain sidelined until at least June 29. Andruw Monasterio is a likely candidate to pick up extra starts in the infield while Kiner-Falefa is out, and Anthony Seigler will come up from Triple-A Worcester to add to Boston's infield depth.

Edwards (thumb) will start at second base and bat fourth Saturday against the Giants.

Thumb soreness prevented Edwards from starting Friday's contest, but he seems to be feeling better after getting a day to rest. The 26-year-old has struggled since the beginning of June, slashing .192/.286/.192 with six RBI, two runs and three steals across 63 plate appearances.

Clement (hip) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Clement will miss a second consecutive start Saturday due to hip soreness. The 30-year-old had been playing through his injury for a while prior to sitting out Friday's game, though he may have to spend time on the injured list if he doesn't rejoin the lineup within the next couple of days. Davis Schneider will start at second base and bat seventh Saturday.

Meidroth isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

The White Sox will give Meidroth a break Saturday after he went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts during a loss in Friday's series opener. Sam Antonacci will shift to second base, opening up left field for Randal Grichuk.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

The star infielder looked none the worse for wear despite leaving Thursday's game early after fouling a ball off his groin in the fourth inning. Chisholm kicked the Yankees' offense into gear by leading off the bottom of the second frame with his 11th homer of the year, and he stole his 21st bag of the season in the eighth after drawing a one-out walk. Friday's effort was encouraging, but Chisholm hasn't had a multi-hit performance since May 29, and through 15 games in June he's batting just .188 (9-for-48) -- albeit with five homers, seven steals, 11 RBI and 14 runs.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 9-5 win over the Twins.

Marte's hitting streak is up to eight games, a span in which he's gone 11-for-33 (.333). The homer was his first since June 4 versus the Dodgers. The second baseman is batting .258 with a .761 OPS, 12 homers, 44 RBI, 41 runs scored, 15 doubles and two triples across 71 games this season. He has yet to attempt a stolen base.
