He bounced back well Friday, earning his fourth multi-hit effort in his last nine games.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Begins running progression

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Bregman (quadriceps) is feeling better and has started his running progression, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Bregman landed on the 10-day injured list May 24 after straining his right quad while rounding first base. It was deemed a "significant strain" similar to the one he sustained in 2021 with the Astros, which caused him to miss 58 games, per Starr. How Bregman progresses in his running program will determine when he'll take the next step in his rehab and provide a clearer timeline for his return.

  • Andy Ibanez 2B | ATH

    Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Sent to Triple-A

    The Tigers optioned Ibanez to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

    The 32-year-old has been a key lineup piece against left-handed pitching for the Tigers over the past couple years, but he has a .681 OPS in 70 plate appearances versus southpaws so far in 2025. Ibanez is likely to rejoin the big club once he gets back on track at the Triple-A level.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Out of lineup

    Hayes isn't part of the Pirates' starting nine for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Hayes had made nine consecutive starts. During that stretch, Hayes went 5-for-31 (.161) with three RBI and three runs scored. Jared Triolo will bat eighth and play third Friday.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Snaps hitless streak

    Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Thursday against the Tigers.

    Rojas has had a rough start to his tenure with the White Sox, as he has just a .175 batting average and .477 OPS across his first 91 plate appearances. His performance Thursday was his fourth multi-hit effort in 27 games, and it also snapped a four-game hitless streak.

  • Blue Jays' Orelvis Martinez: Power surge at Buffalo

    Martinez went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI for Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

    The 23-year-old has gone yard in three straight games. homering four times during that span as he continues to turn his campaign around. Martinez's prospect status dimmed following last year's PED suspension, but since the beginning of May he's slashing .291/.359/.583 with seven homers and 18 RBI in 28 contests, and more importantly he's struck out just 21.4 percent of the time after he stumbled to a 39.5 percent strikeout rate in April. There's no room in the big-league infield for Martinez and his questionable glove right now, especially given the emergence of Addison Barger, but Martinez could slug his way into being an option for the Jays in the second half.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Extends on-base streak

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Yankees.

The third baseman is slashing .393/.448/.639 with 11 walks, 17 extra-base hits (including six home runs), 15 RBI, 12 steals and 26 runs during the streak.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Completes comeback

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Thursday's 11-10 win over Atlanta.

    Suarez's two-run double in the ninth inning was the game-winning hit, completing a stunning seven-run comeback rally. The third baseman's bat has woken up since May 12, when his batting average stood at .200. Since then, he's gone 22-for-74 (.297) with six doubles, four home runs and 19 RBI over 20 contests. He's still batting only .232, but Suarez's 16 home runs and team-high 46 RBI are hard for fantasy GMs to ignore.
