  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Taking seat against lefty

    Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    With southpaw Brandon Walter on the hill for the Astros, Manzardo will hit the bench for the series finale. Though he's produced a .206/.300/.647 slash line (155 wRC+) over 40 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Manzardo could have to settle for a strong-side platoon role at designated hitter with David Fry now off the IL.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Groin issue resurfaces

    Soler was removed from Saturday's game against the Mariners due to groin tightness.

    Soler exited Wednesday's contest versus the Red Sox with groin tightness before returning to the lineup Friday, but he appears to have aggravated the injury Saturday. The Angels will likely exercise more caution after the second occurrence of the injury, and the veteran slugger should be considered day-to-day until the severity of the issue is disclosed.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Getting rest day

    Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    With first pitch Sunday set for 12:10 p.m. EDT, Ramirez will get a breather after starting at either catcher or designated hitter in 18 straight contests. Liam Hicks will handle catching duties, and Heriberto Hernandez will serve as Miami's DH.

  • Jared Young 1B | NYM

    Mets' Jared Young: Restores lead with homer

    Young went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

    Young regained the lead for the Mets with his fifth-inning homer. The 29-year-old is hitting just .200 (4-for-20) across 10 games this season, but three of those hits have gone for extra bases (two homers, one double). He continues to fill a part-time role at designated hitter while the Mets are without Jesse Winker (oblique) and Mark Vientos (hamstring).

  • Kyle Schwarber LF | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Clubs solo homer in loss

    Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Schwarber snapped a brief eight-game homerless dry spell, clubbing his 20th long ball of the season Saturday. The veteran slugger has managed to hit for a healthy average in 2025, as he's slashing .265/.363/.603 with 13 big flies, seven doubles, 28 RBI and two stolen bases across his last 157 plate appearances (36 games). Schwarber trails only Shohei Ohtani for the National League lead in homers so far.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Pulled Saturday

    Soler exited Saturday's game against the Mariners after the first inning for unspecified reasons, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    There was no reason disclosed for Soler's removal. However, he dealt with groin tightness earlier in the week, so it's possible he aggravated the issue.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Goes yard twice against Tigers

    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 6-1 win over Detroit.

    He took Tyler Holton deep in the first inning before lofting a Chase Lee sweeper over the left-field fence in the eighth. Suzuki snapped a 10-game homer drought with the big performance, and through 60 contests on the season, the 30-year-old slugger is slashing .269/.332/.563 with 16 long balls and 55 RBI, with the latter figure being third in the majors behind Pete Alonso (57) and Rafael Devers (56).

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Nearing rehab assignment

    Stanton (elbow) will travel to New York on Sunday or Monday and could begin a rehab assignment thereafter, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Stanton will likely undergo a final evaluation before being cleared to play in games. He and the Yankees are reportedly targeting a mid-June activation, and this progress aligns with that timeline.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Next sim game moved to Monday

    Ohtani (elbow) will next throw to live hitters Monday in San Diego, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Ohtani was on schedule to throw to hitters this weekend in St. Louis, but with rain in the forecast and day games both Saturday and Sunday, the Dodgers are opting to push the session back a few days in order to take advantage of better weather and timing. In Ohtani's previous sim game, he threw 29 pitches and topped out at 97 mph with his fastball while deploying his full arsenal. Ohtani is loosely slated to throw to hitters each weekend, and it's unclear how moving this session to Monday will impact his throwing schedule moving forward.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Slugs eighth homer

    Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Rays.

    The rookie backstop took Zack Littell deep in the fourth inning to get the Marlins on the board. While Ramirez has slowed down at the plate since a blistering start to his career, he's avoided any prolonged slumps -- the 23-year-old hasn't gone more than two straight games without a hit since the beginning of May, slashing .244/.308/.429 over his last 30 contests with five of his eight homers and 14 of his 19 RBI.
