  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Slams two home runs

    McMahon went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 7-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    McMahon homered off Seth Frankoff in the first inning and then again off Riley Smith in the fifth inning. Friday marked his second multi-homer game -- he had a three-home run contest April 6. The infielder now has 11 long balls, tying five others for third best in the National League. In addition, McMahon leads the Rockies in hits (44), RBI (29) and runs (30). The 26-year-old is slashing .257/.304/.509 in 184 plate appearances.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Extends impressive stretch

    Devers went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, another run scored and a walk in Friday's win over the Phillies.

    Devers produced across the board and delivered a complete performance, but that has been a trend over his last few games. The third baseman has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, recording three multi-hit performances in that stretch and hitting .282 with four homers, seven RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base in that span.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Goes yard twice Friday

    Riley went 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Pirates.

    The third baseman led the charge as Atlanta racked up seven homers and 14 extra-base hits while putting at least one run on the board in every inning except the third. Riley is hitting .324 (22-for-68) in May and has gone deep four times in the last five games, pushing his slash line on the season to an impressive .310/.410/.503 with seven home runs and 15 RBI through 45 contests.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Launches two-run shot

    Segura went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's loss against the Red Sox.

    Segura launched his third long ball of the season off Martin Perez, and the star second baseman has reached base at least twice in three of his last five appearances. He's hit safely in five of his last seven contests and has hit .320 across 53 at-bats this month.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Resting Friday

    Muncy is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Muncy will get a break with lefty Alex Wood starting for the Giants. Albert Pujols will start at first base with Sheldon Neuse at second.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Receives rare rest

    Machado will hit the bench Friday against the Mariners.

    Machado will sit for just the third time this season. Ha-Seong Kim will get the nod at third base in his absence.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Primed for big-league debut

    Walls will be called up from Triple-A Durham on Saturday after the Rays traded Willy Adames to the Brewers, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

    The 24-year-old should slot in as Tampa Bay's starting shortstop following the departure of Adames on Friday. Walls was off to a strong start at Triple-A this season with a .327/.468/.490 slash line in 14 games, but he may not have much of a window to secure the starting role with top prospect Wander Franco still waiting for his opportunity.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Extends hot streak with three hits

    Muncy went 3-for-4 with a double in Thursday's 3-2 win over Arizona.

    Muncy slotted second in the batting order and started at second base for the Dodgers before shifting over to his customary first-base spot later in the game. He notched his seventh multi-hit performance over his past 13 games, and during that stretch he has accumulated a .413/.526/.739 slash line, four homers, 11 RBI and 10 walks. Muncy's extended hot streak has pushed his batting average up to .277 on the season.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Lands on injured list

    Senzel hit the injured list Friday due to left knee inflammation.

    Senzel had missed three straight games with what was originally referred to as knee soreness, but manager David Bell had previously said he expected Senzel back in action Friday. As it turns out, the injury is bad enough to sideline him for at least another week. The move can be backdated by three days, leaving him eligible to return next Friday, though it's not yet clear whether or not he's expected to do so. Scott Heineman was recalled in a corresponding move.

  • Diamondbacks' Eduardo Escobar: Pounds another long ball

    Escobar went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a strikeout as Arizona fell 3-2 to Los Angeles on Thursday.

    Escobar took Joe Kelly deep in the sixth to knot the score at two, his 11th of the season and second straight game with a home run. A modest six-game hitting streak has brought his average from .200 to .224, although his on-base abilities stand to improve with only two walks in May compared to 22 strikeouts.
