  • Jose Tena SS | WAS

    Nationals' Jose Tena: Sent to Triple-A

    The Nationals optioned Tena to Triple-A Rochester after Sunday's 3-1 loss to Miami, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Tena earned a spot on the Nationals' Opening Day roster but had yet to make much of a splash through the first two-plus months of the season, slashing .248/.325/.365 with zero home runs, two stolen bases, 18 runs and 13 RBI over 154 plate appearances. The 24-year-old had been occupying the strong side of a platoon at third base with Amed Rosario, but the Nationals will call up prospect Brady House from Triple-A on Monday and are likely to deploy him as an everyday player at the hot corner.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Dealing with groin issue

    Baty (groin) was pulled from Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Rays in the seventh inning with right groin tightness, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.

    Baty was replaced at the plate by Ronny Mauricio to open the bottom of the seventh inning, finishing his day 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Manager Carlos Mendoza explained after the game that Baty was dealing with a groin issue and that he can be considered day-to-day for the time being. The Mets are off Monday before they travel to Atlanta for a three-game set beginning Tuesday.

  • Tyler Wade SS | TEX

    Padres' Tyler Wade: On bench against righty

    Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Even with Jackson Merrill's (concussion) placement on the 7-day injured list Sunday opening up an extra spot in the outfield, the lefty-hitting Wade will be bypassed for a start as the Padres go with the right-handed-hitting Brandon Lockridge in center field against Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly. Wade has now sat in three of the Padres' last four matchups with right-handers, and his outlook for playing time likely won't improve in the near future with Jason Heyward (oblique) due back from the IL soon.

  • Matt Shaw SS | CHC

    Cubs' Matt Shaw: Taking seat Sunday

    Shaw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Jon Berti will fill in at third base while Shaw heads to the bench for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 19. The rookie's second go-around in the majors has been far more successful than his first, and despite going 0-for-13 over his last four starts, Shaw is still batting .264 with one home run and seven stolen bases since rejoining the big club.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Norby will take a seat after going 0-for-8 with a walk and an RBI during the first two games of the series in DC. Javier Sanoja will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh Sunday.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Clubs second homer

    Mauricio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Rays.

    Mauricio struck out in two of his four plate appearances, but he made the most of his lone hit by taking Drew Rasmussen deep to right field in the fifth inning. It was the second long ball and second RBI of the campaign for the young infielder, who has gone 1-for-13 at the plate over his past four games. Mauricio is batting just .188 through 36 plate appearances, but he's getting consistent playing time and has started seven of the Mets' past eight contests.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Reaches 20-homer mark

    Suarez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Padres.

    Suarez has homered four times over his last seven games, going 7-for-27 (.259) with nine strikeouts in that span. The third baseman reached the 20-homer mark for the year with his fourth-inning blast. He's added a .231/.307/.518 slash line with 55 RBI, 42 runs scored, 13 doubles and one stolen base over 70 contests. Suarez hit 30 homers in 158 games last season, but he's on pace to top the 40-homer mark for just the second time in his career in 2025.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Rehab assignment on deck

    Vientos (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse early next week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Vientos landed on the injured list June 3 with a right hamstring strain, but he's been progressing quicker than initially expected and is now close to returning to a competitive setting. The Mets haven't specified how long they plan on keeping the 25-year-old infielder in the minors, though a return to Queens before the end of the month seems likely.

  • Paul DeJong SS | NYY

    Nationals' Paul DeJong: Closing in on rehab stint

    DeJong (orbital) will meet with his surgeon Saturday and could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment early next week, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

    DeJong has been out since taking a Mitch Keller fastball to the face April 15. He faced live pitching Wednesday for the first time since the incident, and came away feeling ready to ramp back up. Manager Dave Martinez indicated that DeJong would be brought along slowly once he kicks off his rehab stint, but the 31-year-old infielder remains on track to rejoin the Nationals in early July.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Season-high three RBI in loss

    McMahon went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional RBI in Friday's 12-4 loss to Atlanta.

    McMahon set a season high in RBI while also tallying his fourth game with at least three hits in 2025. The veteran third baseman's overall fantasy upside may remain capped by a woeful Rockies lineup around him, but he's still been one of the team's lone bright spots recently. Over his last 60 plate appearances, McMahon is slashing .280/.383/.538 with three big flies, four doubles, seven RBI and five runs scored.
