  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Homers again

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.

    Suarez gave starter Corbin Burnes a little more breathing room with his sixth-inning home run. It was the second homer in as many games for Suarez, who ranks tied for second in MLB with 12 homers. He also extended an on-base streak to six contests (7-for-20, four walks), which has lifted Suarez's batting average to .211, its highest point since April 4.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | MIN

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Smacks go-ahead triple

    Wagaman went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

    Wagaman, who went 0-for-8 in his two games prior to Saturday, got off to a slow start after he struck out swinging in each of his first two plate appearances. However, he came up clutch in the eighth inning, when his triple off Brandon Eisert brought Dane Myers and Nick Fortes home. Wagaman has struggled at the plate of late with a .115/.148/.231 slash line over his last seven games.

  • Matthew Lugo SS | LAA

    Angels' Matthew Lugo: Delivers RBI triple for first MLB hit

    Lugo went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

    Lugo made his first career start Saturday, patrolling left field and batting ninth after making his major-league debut as a pinch runner Friday. The 24-year-old needed just two at-bats to deliver his first big-league hit, an RBI triple that stretched the Angels' lead to 4-0 in the fourth inning. It's unclear how much playing time Lugo will be able to carve out while the Angels contend with the absences of Mike Trout (knee) and Gustavo Campero (ankle). Given abysmal offensive performance from the team's outfielders, the opportunity for Lugo to steal a job is there.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Swipes bag in Saturday's win

    Clement went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

    Clement's playing time was on the decline about a week ago, but he should be able to see steady at-bats while Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) is on the 10-day injured list. Over his last five contests, Clement has helped his own case to stay in the lineup by going 7-for-20 (.350). The versatile infielder is batting .248 with a .587 OPS, no home runs, six RBI, nine runs scored, two steals and six doubles over 109 plate appearances. Clement has started all three games at second base since Gimenez was injured, allowing Addison Barger to take over at third, at least against right-handed pitchers.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Absent from lineup

    Vargas is not in Saturday's lineup against the Marlins, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Vargas has been a mainstay in the White Sox's order, as this marks his first day off since April 22. He's split work between first and third base, though the addition of Tim Elko has the potential to disrupt Vargas' position in the lineup. Per Jack Ankony of SI.com, the White Sox plan to mix and match Elko, Vargas and Andrew Vaughn between designated hitter and first base.

  • Nick Sogard SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Recalled, batting seventh

    Sogard was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

    Romy Gonzalez (back) landed on the injured list Saturday, creating an opening at first base for the Red Sox. Sogard appears set to get some chances against lefties, as he's in the lineup and hitting seventh versus Royals southpaw Cole Ragans on Saturday. Sogard earned 86 plate appearances with the Red Sox in 2024 and hit .273/.326/.325 with eight RBI and 13 runs scored.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Getting rest Saturday

    Bohm isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Cleveland.

    Bohm will get a breather Saturday after recording hits in each of his last six games, going 8-for-22 with three RBI and four runs scored in the process. Edmundo Sosa will fill in at the hot corner and bat ninth.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Homers in win

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-0 win over the Phillies.

    Ramirez finished off the scoring with his homer in the seventh inning. It was his first long ball in 15 games and sixth of the season. It didn't take long for Ramirez to shake off the ankle injury that forced him to miss one game. In the five games since, he's 6-for-20 with a home run, two doubles and three RBI.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: Steals bag in loss

    Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 3-0 loss to Houston.

    The stolen base was the first of the season for Espinal, who logged 11 thefts in a part-time role for the Reds in 2024. He's been more of a regular in 2025, appearing in 31 of Cincinnati's 40 games to date. Friday's start was his fifth in a row at third base since Noelvi Marte (oblique) became unavailable. It was Espinal's 10th overall start, including outings at shortstop, left field and right field. With Austin Hays activated off the injured list Friday, that frees up Gavin Lux to usurp starts at the third base, but Espinal has been a valuable and productive piece and should maintain a semi-regular role.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Homers in Friday's loss

    Suarez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, two walks and three total runs scored in Friday's 14-11 loss to the Dodgers.

    The first-inning homer was Suarez's first since his historic four-homer game versus Atlanta on April 26. The third baseman has a trio of multi-hit efforts in May, going 8-for-33 (.242) with six RBI over nine games this month. On the season, he's batting .210 with an .808 OPS, 11 homers, 26 RBI, 24 runs scored, six doubles and one stolen base. Suarez rarely hits for a good average anymore, but he can tap into power when he gets in a groove.
