  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Begins hitting soft toss

    Marte (oblique) began hitting from soft tosses in a batting cage Friday, MLB.com reports.

    Marte is at the Reds' complex in Goodyear (Ariz.) working his way back from an oblique injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list in late April. The report doesn't give an estimated return date other that sometime in June. Presumably, Marte will go out on a rehab assignment before rejoining Cincinnati.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Pair of knocks in win

    Bohm went 2-for-5 in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Cubs.

    Although Bohm saw his 10-game hitting streak come to an end on May 30, he's maintained healthy production in the past few weeks. Over his last 20 outings, the 28-year-old infielder is hitting. 305 (25-for-82) with three homers, three doubles, eight RBI and nine runs scored. Bohm has hit either third or fourth in Philadelphia's batting order nine times in his last 12 contests, and he should continue to bat in those positions while Bryce Harper (wrist) is on the injured list.

  • Kyle Karros 3B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Karros: Returns to Double-A lineup

    Karros (undisclosed) has gone 3-for-15 with two RBI, four runs and one stolen base in six games since being activated from Double-A Hartford's 7-day injured list last Tuesday.

    Karros is off to a slow start at the dish since returning from an unspecified injury, but he was firing on all cylinders prior to landing on the IL. The 22-year-old is hitting .312 with two home runs and five stolen bases in 28 games for Hartford on the season.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | MIN

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Sitting Monday

    Wagaman is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Pirates on Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

    Wagaman will take a seat after going 0-for-9 with four strikeouts over his last two games. Liam Hicks will start at first base while Heriberto Hernandez serves as the designated hitter and bat ninth.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Remains hot with homer Sunday

    Machado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 1-0 win against the Brewers on Sunday.

    Machado accounted for the only run by either team with his 425-foot solo blast in the seventh inning. The star third baseman has found his power stroke of late, clubbing three homers over his past four games and seven across his past 16 contests. Machado is also in the midst of a six-game hitting streak during which he's posted a 1.352 OPS with six RBI.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Launches seventh homer

    Baty went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

    The 25-year-old infielder took Seth Halvorsen deep in the seventh inning, snapping a 14-game homer drought for Baty and giving him seven long balls on the season. While he continues to see regular playing time at third base with Mark Vientos (hamstring) on the shelf while also spelling Jeff McNeil at second base, Baty's bat has cooled down and he's batting just .143 (4-for-28) to begin the month of June. If he doesn't heat up, Ronny Mauricio could begin to steal starts away from Baty.

  • Braves' Nacho Alvarez: Ready for rehab assignment

    Atlanta sent Alvarez (wrist) to its rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Monday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Alvarez has endured a long recovery process since he was diagnosed with left wrist inflammation all the way back in late February. He's finally been cleared for game action, and the 22-year-old seems like a good bet to be optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett rather than added to the major-league roster once he's activated from the 60-day injured list.

  • Otto Kemp 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Otto Kemp: Makes second straight start at 3B

    Kemp went 0-for-2 with a walk and was caught stealing in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates.

    Kemp has started at third base in both of the Phillies' games since he was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, but he's still looking for his first MLB hit, having gone 0-for-5 with three strikeouts between those two contests. With Alec Bohm shifting over to first base after Bryce Harper (wrist) was placed on the injured list, Kemp could have an opportunity to play regularly while he's up with the big club, though he may have to fend off Edmundo Sosa for playing time in the infield. The 25-year-old Kemp posted a 1.010 OPS and 11 steals in 58 games for Lehigh Valley this season and had an .881 OPS in 123 games across four levels of the minors in 2024, though he's been old for his level throughout his minor-league career.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Swipes bag in win

    Mauricio went 2-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 13-5 win over the Rockies.

    Mauricio contributed offensively throughout the game and has now stolen a base in back-to-back contests. After going 0-for-8 against the Dodgers, the 24-year-old tallied five hits over the weekend at Coors Field. Through five games this season, he's hitting .263 with a solo home run, a double, two steals and four runs scored across 21 plate appearances.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: X-rays negative on hand

    Chapman (hand) underwent X-rays on his right hand, which came back negative, following Sunday's 4-3 win over Atlanta, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Chapman was hit by a pitch with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, and he was subsequently picked off at first base, jamming his right hand in the process. The third baseman remained in the game as San Francisco closed it out in the top of the ninth, and he appears to have avoided a significant injury after receiving his X-ray results. Chapman can be considered day-to-day with the Giants off Monday ahead of a three-game set in Colorado beginning Tuesday.
