  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: On base thrice in win

    Garver went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run in a win over the Rockies on Saturday.

    Garver's three trips on the basepaths helped pushed his on-base percentage over the .300 mark (.308), a number that particularly stands out when considering it sits between a .170 average and .283 slugging percentage on his slash line. The veteran has managed to reach safely in seven straight games, however, and when his .222 BABIP eventually normalizes some, the other two figures should see some appreciable boosts.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Athletics' Abraham Toro: First triple since '22

    Toro went 1-for-4 with a triple in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday.

    The three-bagger not only extended Toro's modest hitting streak to three games, it also served as his first such hit since June 2, 2022 while with the Mariners. Toro has now started 12 consecutive games at either third base or designated hitter, and while his .254/.323/.424 slash line is solid but not remarkable, it passes for one of the better ones on a struggling Oakland offense.

  • Miguel Sano 3B | LAA

    Angels' Miguel Sano: First MLB homer in over two years

    Sano went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Reds.

    The long ball off Graham Ashcraft in the sixth inning was Sano's first in the big leagues since April 15, 2022. Sano missed the better part of two years after undergoing surgery on his left knee, and he got off to a slow start with the Angels this season, but he's suddenly up to an .808 OPS. He could see more time at third base in the short term after Anthony Rendon left Saturday's game with a hamstring injury.

  • Eloy Jimenez DH | TOR

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: First RBI of season

    Jimenez went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Saturday against the Phillies.

    Jimenez entered Saturday's game having gone 0-for-10 with three strikeouts and three walks since being activated from the injured list Monday. He delivered a pair of singles against the Phillies, with the latter driving in a run during a ninth-inning rally to mark his first RBI of the campaign. Jimenez is off to a miserable start through 29 plate appearances this season, as he has yet to record an extra-base hit and has only one run scored while hitting .154.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Slugs second homer

    Yoshida went 3-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

    The 30-year-old outfielder took Mitch Keller deep in the sixth inning for Boston's final runs. Yoshida has only two homers on the season, but they've both come in his last five games. On the campaign, he's slashing .250/.325/.375 with nine runs and 10 RBI in 20 contests.

  • Kevin Smith DH | NYY

    Yankees' Kevin Smith: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Yankees sent Smith outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

    The Yankees DFA'd Smith on Thursday after claiming outfielder Taylor Trammell off waivers from the Dodgers, and the 27-year-old infielder will officially remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Smith is slashing just .182/.282/.212 across 39 Triple-A plate appearances and is unlikely to return to New York barring a significant turnaround.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Gets breather against lefty

    O'Hearn isn't in Baltimore's lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.

    The left-handed bat of O'Hearn will sit down Saturday as the Royals send fellow lefty Cole Ragans to the mound. His absence will move Adley Rutschman into the DH spot while James McCann starts behind the plate and bats eighth.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Resting Saturday

    Stanton isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Stanton turned in an 0-for-4 performance at the plate during Friday's victory over the Rays, and he'll get a breather during Saturday's contest. Aaron Judge will take over as New York's designated hitter, allowing Trent Grisham to start in center field and bat sixth.

  • Brent Rooker DH | ATH

    Athletics' Brent Rooker: Homers in return

    Rooker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run during Friday's loss to Cleveland.

    Rooker didn't draw a start in his first game since returning from the injured list, but he entered as a pinch hitter for Lawrence Butler in the sixth inning and hit a solo shot in the ninth - his third long ball of the season. The 29-year-old slugger hasn't quite been able to replicate the production he enjoyed during his breakout 2023 campaign, though he remains one of the lone bright spots in a relatively weak Oakland lineup.

  • Justin Turner 1B | CHC

    Blue Jays' Justin Turner: Cracks homer in victory

    Turner went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's win over the Padres.

    Turner opened the game's scoring with a 404-foot solo home run off Matt Waldron in the first inning. The 39-year-old veteran tacked on another RBI in the second inning via a single. Turner has looked quite comfortable with his new team, slashing .345/.429/.569 with two homers and 11 RBI over 70 plate appearances.
