  • Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA

    Angels' Ehire Adrianza: Retreating to bench

    Adrianza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Adrianza had started each of the past three games at third base while going 1-for-11 with a solo home run. Even with Miguel Sano (knee) on the injured list and with Luis Rengifo (illness) out of the lineup for the second game in a row, Adrianza will cede the hot corner to Cole Tucker in the series finale.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | BAL

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Makes big-league debut

    Ramos entered Saturday's game against the Cardinals in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement at third base.

    Ramos was promoted to the majors in the wake of Danny Mendick (back) being sidelined Saturday. Ramos didn't start but did enter the game as a replacement to make his big-league debut. After the game, manager Pedro Grifol confirmed that Ramos will have the chance to play regularly, per MLB.com.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Slugs three homers in blowout win

    Muncy went 4-for-5 with three home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 11-2 win over Atlanta.

    The three home runs were a single-game career high for Muncy, who had blasted just five long balls through his first 30 contests of the campaign prior to Saturday. Muncy's slugging percentage rose exactly 100 points as a result of the huge game and now sits at .551 for the season, which is on pace for the best mark of his career since his first year with the Dodgers in 2018.

  • Grae Kessinger SS | NYM

    Astros' Grae Kessinger: Resumes baseball activity

    Kessinger (shoulder) has resumed baseball activity, MLB.com reports.

    Kessinger was on the field Saturday before Houston's game, marking his first activity since hitting the injured list April 30. Despite the progress, he's not expected back on the field until late May.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Athletics' Abraham Toro: Knocks in two runs Saturday

    Toro went 2-for-5 with a two-run single and three runs in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

    Toro extended Oakland's lead to 9-0 in the third inning with his timely single, pushing his RBI total to 13 to draw him into a tie with JJ Bleday for third place on the Athletics. The 27-year-old has been a steady offensive presence for the surprising A's, and he's now posted four consecutive two-hit tallies as part of an eight-game hitting streak overall.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Athletics' J.D. Davis: Productive in second game back

    Davis went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

    Davis returned from a stint on the injured list in the series opener Friday and went 0-for-3, but he authored one of seven multi-hit efforts for the Athletics in Saturday's 20-4 win. The veteran hadn't recorded more than one knock in a game since April 3, and Saturday's production snapped an 0-for-13 skid.

  • Brett Harris 1B | BOS

    Athletics' Brett Harris: Pops first two major-league homers

    Harris went 2-for-5 with the first two hits and home runs of his major-league career in Saturday's 20-4 win over the Marlins.

    Harris went hitless in his major-league debut Friday, but on Saturday he played a big part in the rout of the Marlins. The rookie took Darren McCaughan deep both times, hitting a solo shot in the fourth inning before following with a two-run blast in the sixth. Harris also drew a walk and scored an additional run. The 25-year-old should continue to see pretty regular reps at third base for Oakland.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Big day in extra-inning loss

    Arenado went 3-for-3 with two walks and a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the White Sox.

    The veteran third baseman took Erick Fedde deep in the fifth inning to give the Cardinals a 5-3 lead, but it didn't hold up. Arenado has recorded multiple hits in three of the last five games, and the surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .296/.362/.408 with two homers, 14 runs and 19 RBI through 33 contests.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Expected to play Sunday

    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Bohm (hip) will be reevaluated Sunday and expects the third baseman to be in the lineup versus the Giants, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Bohm was removed from Saturday's game versus the Giants with right hip flexor tightness, but his exit was considered precautionary and it sounds like he should be fine. The third baseman singled, was hit by a pitch and scored two runs before being lifted from Saturday's tilt.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Removed with hip tightness

    Bohm departed Saturday's game versus the Giants after the third inning due to right hip tightness, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirery reports.

    The Phillies are saying Bohm's removal was precautionary, and it's worth noting they were leading 9-1 at the time and the conditions at Citizens Bank Park were poor following a rain delay. It sounds like it's safe to call Bohm day-to-day, but the team could offer more clarity after the contest.
