    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Smacks homer in win

    O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

    O'Hearn had gone nine games without an extra-base hit, hitting .240 (6-for-25) with three RBI in that span. The 30-year-old broke his power drought with a third-inning homer off Mariners starter George Kirby to give the Orioles a 4-1 lead. O'Hearn is up to six homers, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .288/.368/.510 slash line through 33 contests in a strong-side platoon role while seeing time at designated hitter and first base and in the corner outfield spots.

  • Blue Jays' Daniel Vogelbach: Scores thrice

    Vogelbach went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two additional runs scored during Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rays.

    Vogelbach needed his second career triple to hit for the cycle Sunday after notching a single, double and solo homer off Aaron Civale. The performance marked Vogelbach's 10th career game with at least three hits and his first since July 7, 2023. Sunday's homer was Vogelbach's first of the season and could be what he needs after opening 2024 going 4-for-37 (.108) at the plate.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Garver started the first two games of the series after missing the previous two contests with back spasms, and he'll sit for Sunday's finale. Cal Raleigh will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Seby Zavala starts behind the plate.

  • Justin Turner 1B | SEA

    Blue Jays' Justin Turner: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Turner is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Turner was back in the starting nine for the past two games after missing three contests with an illness, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Daniel Vogelbach will step in as Toronto's designated hitter.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Not starting Sunday

    Manzardo is not in the lineup for Sunday's outing against the Twins.

    Manzardo will begin the game from the bench in Cleveland's series finale against Minnesota after going 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 11-4 win. Jose Ramirez will move to designated hitter and bat third in place of Manzardo while Gabriel Arias takes over third base duties.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Slugs another long ball Saturday

    Stanton went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and two total RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win against the White Sox.

    Stanton doubled home a run in the first inning and added a solo homer in the third. The long ball was his second in as many days and his third over his past four games. Stanton is enjoying a big month of May, slashing .308/.333/.654 with five homers and 10 RBI through 13 games, though he's also struck out 35.2 percent of the time.

  • Trevor Larnach LF | MIN

    Twins' Trevor Larnach: Riding pine against lefty

    Larnach isn't in the Twins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

    The lefty-hitting Larnach will step out of the lineup as the Twins prepare to face southpaw Logan Allen. Ryan Jeffers will move into the DH spot as a result, allowing Christian Vazquez to start at catcher while batting ninth.

  • Tyler Heineman DH | TOR

    Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Activated, optioned to Triple-A

    Heineman (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Heineman has been out since April 23 with a right hamstring strain, but he'll now return to regular action at Triple-A. The catcher has produced a .235 average with a double, three RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases over 34 at-bats in 12 games with Worcester this season. Both Connor Wong and Reese McGuire are healthy at the major-league level, but Heineman is likely the next man up if Boston needs another backstop down the road.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Mashes homer No. 10

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

    He crushed a Tanner Banks fastball down the left-field line on the first pitch he saw to lead off the sixth inning. Stanton has stayed healthy so far this season and is already at 10 long balls through 39 games, giving him a shot at his first 40-homer campaign since 2017 if he can avoid lengthy injury absences. His 33.5 percent strikeout rate -- which would be the worst mark of his career if it doesn't come down -- indicates how one-dimensional the 34-year-old has become at this stage of his career, however.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Drives in run in return

    Garver (back) went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

    Garver was back in the lineup after missing the last two games with back spasms, and he delivered the first run of the contest with his first-inning single. The veteran offseason addition now has seven RBI in May and has reached safely in eight of the last 10 games, but he's still carrying an abysmal .176/.286/.344 slash line across 147 plate appearances on the season.
