  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Mets' Luis Guillorme: Pops first homer

    Guillorme went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.

    Getting the start at shortstop and hitting ninth, Guillorme turned on an Adam Wainwright sinker in the fifth inning and lofted it over the wall in right-center field. It's the first big-league homer in 32 games this season for the utility infielder, and just the fifth of his career, but he has been swinging the bat with a bit of authority over the last week. Since rejoining the Mets' roster June 9, Guillorme's gone 4-for-15 with four RBI and three extra-base hits.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Slugs 16th homer

    Albies went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 10-2 win against the Rockies on Saturday.

    Atlanta pummeled Colorado starter Connor Seabold for four homers in the victory, and Albies accounted for one of those with 412-foot solo shot in the second inning. The second baseman has collected multiple hits in three of his past four games, batting .412 (7-for-17) with two homers and five RBI over that stretch. Albies is up to 16 long balls on the season, putting him on pace to challenge his career-high mark of 30 set during the 2021 campaign.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Guardians' Amed Rosario: Four-hit effort in loss

    Rosario went 4-for-5 in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Rosario and leadoff hitter Steven Kwan combined to go 8-for-10 atop the order, but the rest of the Guardians mustered just one hit and four walks. Over his last 11 contests, Rosario has gone 16-for-44 (.364) with three doubles, four RBI and six runs scored. The shortstop is at least swinging the bat better, but his teammates remain inconsistent. Rosario owns a .248/.296/.335 slash line with a home run, 17 RBI, 30 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 63 contests.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Strong in Saturday's loss

    Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two total RBI in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Gimenez provided the Guardians' first two run scoring plays before Arizona's offense took over. The second baseman has hit safely in three straight games for the first time since May 30 to June 1. He has a .244/.307/.372 slash line with five homers, 22 RBI, 29 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 67 contests. Like many of his teammates, Gimenez has struggled to hit consistently, putting him noticeably behind his pace from 2022.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Lone bright spot for Houston

    Altuve went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a solo homer and one steal in Saturday's 10-3 loss against the Reds.

    Altuve notched his first four-hit game of the season and hit his first home run since May 29. The veteran missed the beginning of the campaign while working his way back from a thumb injury and got off to a fast start, slashing .316/.409/.553 over his first 10 games. However, he had just six hits over his last nine games (37 plate appearances) coming into Saturday. Despite his recent struggles, Altuve figures to be a mainstay at second base as long as he's healthy.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Hits two home runs in loss

    Drury went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and solo home run in Saturday's 10-9 loss to the Royals.

    Coming into the contest, Drury hadn't hit a home run since June 1, but he notched his second multi-homer game of the season Saturday. The slugger struggled to start the year, slashing just .179/.208/.269 over his first 20 appearances, but he's been red hot since then, totaling 11 home runs, 14 doubles, two triples, 31 RBI and 24 runs scored over his last 44 games.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Limited by sore shoudler

    Manager Pedro Grifol said Saturday that Gonzalez is limited by a sore right shoulder, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Gonzalez hasn't started since Tuesday and hasn't appeared off the bench since Wednesday, though his .194/.208/.376 season slash line means there's no guarantee he'd be playing even if healthy. He'll be evaluated when the team gets back to Chicago on Monday, which means it's unlikely he appears in Sunday's series finale against Seattle.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Could ramp up work Thursday

    Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters before Saturday's game he's hopeful Lowe (back) will be able to start work on the field when the Rays return from their road trip Thursday, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Lowe was shut down from baseball activities for 2-to-3 weeks due to a herniated disc in his back on June 7, and the infielder appears to be on the shorter side of that timeline. The 28-year-old will likely need a lengthy rehab assignment before being ready to play for Tampa Bay, and there's a good chance Lowe isn't back in the lineup until around the All-Star break.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Heads to bench

    Dubon will be on the bench Saturday against the Reds.

    Dubon finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. He led off in Friday's series opener but went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts, dropping his OPS on the season to a modest .718. Corey Julks will lead off and play left field Saturday.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Remains out

    Massey (finger) remains on the bench Saturday against the Angels.

    Massey was scratched Friday due to a laceration on his left index finger and will sit for at least one more game. Nicky Lopez will get the start at second base in his absence.
