Duffy went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a walk, one RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-8 win over the Angels.

Duffy continues to make the most of limited playing time -- this was his third multi-hit effort of the season. The infielder has gone 6-for-15 (.400) over his last five games. For the season, he owns a .394/.412/.545 slash line with a home run, four RBI, four runs scored and a 1:6 BB:K across 34 plate appearances. Duffy's been used more as a reserve than a platoon option, starting five times against southpaws and four times against righties. With Michael Massey, Nicky Lopez and Hunter Dozier all scuffling, Duffy could see an uptick in playing time until his bat cools off.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a three-run double in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Tigers.

Urias provided a big hit in the third inning, lacing a bases-loaded double to give Baltimore a 4-0 lead. The infielder hadn't driven in a run since April 10 versus Oakland. He's maintained a .240/.356/.380 slash line with a home run, seven RBI, seven runs scored, four doubles and a 5:19 BB:K through 59 plate appearances this season, though it's his solid defense that will help him stay in the lineup when his bat's cold.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss against Milwaukee.

Devers hadn't homered in his previous six games, his longest drought of the season. The third baseman brought the Red Sox within one run thanks to a sixth inning two-run shot. Devers has a .925 OPS this season, which would be a career high.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-4 victory over the Cubs.

Muncy extended the Dodgers' lead to 6-2 with a two-run homer in the seventh off Mark Leiter and hit a solo shot in the ninth off Brad Boxberger. After his third multi-homer game this season, Muncy now has 10 long balls, tying him with Pete Alonso for the MLB lead.

Segura is out of the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

Jon Berti will get the start at third base while Segura rests for the second game of the twin bill. Segura went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the Marlins' 6-1 win in Game 1.

Freeman (shoulder) is hitting eighth and playing third base against the Marlins on Saturday for the second game of a doubleheader.

Freeman has missed the past few games with a shoulder injury, but he'll return for the second game of a twin bill. Jose Ramirez will be the designated hitter for the contest with Gabriel Arias handling the shortstop duties and Amed Rosario out of the lineup.

Henderson was added to the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers when Jorge Mateo (hip) was scratched.

Henderson was set for a day off but will instead bat eighth and start at shortstop. He's disappointed in the early going this season, particularly in terms of his 34.3 percent strikeout rate, but he may be turning this around recently, striking out just three times in his last four games while recording four hits.

Peterson will be on the bench Saturday against the Rangers.

Peterson has been in nearly a strict platoon this season, starting just once against a lefty. With Andrew Heaney on the mound Saturday, Aledmys Diaz gets the nod at third base.

Machado is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Machado will get a day of rest against Merrill Kelly and the Diamondbacks. With Machado out, Juan Soto will hit third for the Diamondbacks with Trent Grisham in the leadoff spot and Fernando Tatis batting second.

Peraza went 1-for-2 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays. He also walked once.

Peraza's steal is his first in the majors this season, but the sixth when you count the five he had in nine games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 22-year-old infielder has significant speed and would be a major contributor to the category for fantasy players if he was to get an everyday role with the Yankees, but there's just no guarantee that will happen for Peraza in 2023.
