  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Receiving breather Sunday

    Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    It's a well-earned rest for Bailey, whose only game off in the past seven contests came as part of Thursday's doubleheader in Philadelphia. Eric Haase is stepping in behind the plate Sunday for the Giants.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Keeps rolling Saturday

    Baldwin went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and a walk in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Rockies.

    Baldwin continues to roll as one of fantasy's breakout players in the early part of the season. The slugging backstop now has a pair of three-hit attacks on the campaign, and Saturday was already his third four-RBI effort of 2026. Through 138 at-bats, Baldwin is hitting .312 with eight long balls, five doubles, 29 RBI and 31 runs scored.

  • Padres' Freddy Fermin: Idle Saturday

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

    Fermin and Luis Campusano have seen a nearly even split in playing time behind the plate so far this year, though Saturday will mark the third time in four games that the latter has received the nod to start.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Resting Saturday

    Pages isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Pages went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts Friday to extend his hitting streak to six games, but the Cardinals will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Ivan Herrera will handle catching duties while Nolan Gorman works as the DH and Ramon Urias starts at the hot corner.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Activated, starting Saturday

    The Phillies activated Realmuto (back) from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Realmuto landed on the 10-day injured list in late April due to back spasms, but he has been given the green light to return following a minimum stay on the IL. Dylan Moore was designated for assignment in a corresponding move, meaning the Phillies will carry three catchers on the 26-man roster in Realmuto, Rafael Marchan and Garrett Stubbs. Realmuto is slashing .259/.344/.352 with one home run and five RBI across 61 plate appearances this season, and he will start behind home plate and bat seventh against Miami on Saturday.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Taking seat Saturday

    Moreno isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Moreno went 0-for-5 at the plate in his first game back from the injured list Friday, and he'll get a day off Saturday as the D-backs look to ease him back into regular playing time. James McCann will catch and bat eighth.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Hitless in return

    Moreno went 0-for-5 and struck out three times in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs.

    Moreno, who returned Friday from a three-week absence due to an oblique injury, started at catcher and batted fifth. It may take a few games for Moreno get his timing down after the absence, as he did not go out on a rehab assignment.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Productive in win Friday

    Kelly went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Kelly has been an offensive force so far for the Cubs, as he's slashing .316/.413/.443 through 24 games. He's established himself as the clear top backstop in Chicago across the past two seasons, though Miguel Amaya is one of the more talented complementary options in the league. Kelly should continue to see the majority of the playing time moving forward, and his hot bat warrants attention in most fantasy formats.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Four hits again in win

    Contreras went 4-for-5 with three RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Nationals.

    Contreras drove in a run on a single in the third inning before knocking in two more on another base hit in the eighth. It marked a second straight four-hit effort for the 28-year-old, raising his average from .262 to .310 in the process. Overall, he's tallied three home runs, 23 RBI and 19 runs scored across 129 plate appearances while posting an .828 OPS.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Returns from injured list

    The Diamondbacks activated Moreno (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Moreno is ready to go after missing the past two-plus weeks with a left oblique strain. Since his absence was relatively brief, the Diamondbacks felt a rehab assignment wasn't necessary. He'll return to being the team's primary catcher.
