  • Jace Peterson SS | ARI

    Brewers' Jace Peterson: Out with thumb injury

    Peterson was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb injury Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Peterson had previously dealt with a thumb issue throughout March, though he was able to make the Opening Day roster. He's performed well enough in a part-time role, posting a .779 OPS and homering twice in 28 trips to the plate. Kolten Wong (oblique) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Slugs sixth homer

    Devers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a steal and two runs scored Thursday against the Mariners.

    Devers led off the second inning with a blast to right field for his sixth home run of the season. He was once again a catalyst for Boston's offense two frames later, when he reached base on a single and subsequently stole second base before coming around to score. Since managing two hits in his first 21 plate appearances, Devers has recorded six multi-hit games in 13 starts.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Drives in three

    Bregman went 3-for-4 with three RBI during Thursday's win over the Angels.

    Bregman made his at-bats count Thursday by collecting a trio of hits, including a two-run single in the third inning and an RBI single in the fifth. The 27-year-old has put together a solid slash line of .326/.392/.478 across 12 games, though he's off to a bit of a slow start in the power department with two home runs and one double.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: May not be ready for weekend series

    Rendon (groin) is likely to be activated in time for the team's series beginning Monday at Texas, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Rendon is reportedly very close to a return, though it appears the Angels will be cautious with him. As a result, he may miss the remainder of the team's series in Houston. Jose Rojas and Luis Rengifo should continue to fill in during his absence.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Longoria exited Thursday's game against the Marlins with a tight left hamstring, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Longoria was pulled from the game in the fifth inning, though the severity of the injury is not yet known. Wilmer Flores shifted from first to third base, and he would likely remain a fixture in the lineup if Longoria is out for an extended amount of time.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Forced from Thursday's contest

    Longoria exited Thursday's contest in the fifth inning, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    There was no immediate reason given for Longoria's exit, though he dealt with plantar fasciitis during spring training. The Giants are already missing Brandon Belt (quadriceps), Donovan Solano (calf) and Brandon Crawford (side) from their infield, so they'll be in a difficult position if Longoria is forced to miss additional time.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Heading to injured list

    Anderson will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Anderson was held out of Wednesday's lineup with side soreness, and his condition reportedly did not improve as expected Thursday. As a result, he'll be placed on the 10-day injured list. Jon Berti should pick up playing time at third base in Anderson's absence.

  • Nick Maton DH | CHW

    Phillies' Nick Maton: Could factor in at second base

    Phillies manager Joe Girardi named Maton and Brad Miller as the most likely candidates to pick up starts at second base following Jean Segura's (quadriceps) placement on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Maton filled in at shortstop for Didi Gregorius (elbow) in each of the Phillies' last three games, going 5-for-12 with a double and an RBI. Though Girardi believes Gregorius will be ready to go for Friday's game in Colorado, Segura's absence should free up more reps in the middle infield. Considering that both Maton and Miller are left-handed hitters, a platoon between the two won't be an option, so a timeshare could be in place until one player separates himself from the other while Segura is out.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Anderson is not in Thursday's lineup and may also miss Friday's game with soreness on his left side, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

    Anderson was held out of Wednesday's lineup with what appeared to be a minor injury, though it now seems as though his absence will extend for another few days. Jon Berti is likely to gain playing time at third base in Anderson's absence.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Takes seat Thursday

    Davis isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Davis has struggled defensively in recent contests, and he'll get a breather for Thursday's series finale in Chicago. Luis Guillorme will start at the hot corner in his place and lead off.
