  • Korey Lee C | CHW

    White Sox's Korey Lee: Homers in win

    Lee went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-1 win over the Tigers on Saturday.

    Lee singled in the fourth inning then hit a solo home run off reliever Joey Wentz in the sixth. Lee is hitting just .194 in 62 June at-bats but has recorded multi-hit efforts in two of his past four games. On the season, he is slashing .246/.285/.393 with seven homers and 19 RBI in 183 at-bats.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Idle Saturday

    Trevino is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    After going 0-for-10 across three consecutive starts, Trevino will give way to Austin Wells behind the dish Saturday. Trevino has eight home runs and a .726 OPS on the year.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Gets Saturday off

    Langeliers is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

    Langeliers will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over Minnesota. The lefty-hitting Kyle McCann will start behind home plate Saturday and bat ninth against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober.

  • Seby Zavala C | LAD

    Mariners' Seby Zavala: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Zavala cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Zavala was DFA'd by the Mariners on June 18 after slashing .154/.214/.282 with a 37.2 percent strikeout rate over 43 major-league plate appearances. The 30-year-old catcher will look to find his swing in Triple-A as he attempts to work his way back up to the majors.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Tigers' Carson Kelly: Idle Saturday

    Kelly isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Kelly will get a breather Saturday after belting a two-run home run during Friday's win. Jake Rogers will fill in behind the dish and bat eighth.

  • Ben Rortvedt C | NYM

    Rays' Ben Rortvedt: Big day in rout

    Rortvedt went 3-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Pirates.

    The backstop put the finishing touches on Tampa Bay's rout by taking Daulton Jefferies deep in the ninth inning. Rortvedt only has two homers on the year, but both have come in his last four games as part of an impressive June that has seen him slash .314/.368/.571 in 38 plate appearances. His strong-side platoon role limits his fantasy upside, but the 26-year-old appears to be on his way to a career-best campaign.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Homers in loss

    Wong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to Cincinnati.

    Wong belted a solo home run in the second inning, his sixth of the season, and extended a hitting streak to 11 games (15-for-39). He's batting .335/.397/.471 for the season. There's no dramatic changes in his contact metrics to explain his breakout, and the BABIP (.395) warning signs are still there, but Wong has managed to avoid regression so far.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Perfect day at dish

    Rutschman went 5-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's loss to Houston.

    Rutschman was a thorn in the side for Houston pitching all night but wasn't able to drive in any runs. His lone extra-base hit came during Baltimore's seven-run eighth inning right after a Gunnar Henderson homer. Rutschman fell into a small eight-game slump, going 4-for-30 (.133) during that span, but has since gone 8-for-10 with two walks and five runs scored over his last two games. He's slashing .305/.352/.485 with 53 RBI and 41 runs scored through 71 games.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Swats go-ahead homer

    Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Twins.

    Langeliers took Jhoan Duran deep in the eighth inning, giving the Athletics the lead for good. This was Langeliers' 14th homer of the year, though he's gone deep just twice over 16 games in June while batting .196 (11-for-56). The catcher is at a .207/.265/.445 slash line across 249 plate appearances this season, and he's added 39 RBI, 24 runs scored and two stolen bases.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Tigers' Carson Kelly: Homers in win

    Kelly went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 2-1 win over the White Sox on Friday.

    Kelly's long ball off Erick Fedde in the second inning was the difference in the game. The homer was Kelly's second in four starts, and he has registered a solid .267/.353/.500 slash line in nine June contests. On the season, Kelly is slashing .238/.324/.373 with four home runs and 17 RBI over 142 plate appearances.
