Polanco went 2-for-4 with a walk, two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Saturday's 14-0 win against Miami.

The 31-year-old went deep in the first and fourth innings Saturday and now has four long balls in his past four games. Despite being limited to hitting from the left side and not being able to play the field due to a lingering side injury, Polanco has continued his hot start to the campaign and has a .354/.377/.708 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI and 10 runs in 70 plate appearances.

Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning win over Arizona.

Ozuna took Merrill Kelly deep in the first inning. This was Ozuna's fifth homer of the season, and he also drew a walk for a sixth straight game. He has nine free passes and just three strikeouts in that six-game span while batting .375 (6-for-16). The designated hitter is batting .311 with a 1.031 OPS, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored and two doubles across 100 plate appearances so far in 2025, as he's been the most consistent producer of a largely underwhelming Atlanta lineup.

Rosario will enter free agency after declining an outright assignment from the Dodgers on Friday.

Rosario was DFA'd by the Dodgers on April 20. As a veteran with requisite experience, Rosario opted to reject an assignment to the minors and will look to join a team in need of outfield depth. The 33-year-old appeared in 91 regular-season games between Washington and Atlanta in 2024 and slashed .175/.215/.316 with nine stolen bases, 33 runs scored, 10 home runs and 35 RBI in 319 plate appearances.

Suzuki went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies.

Suzuki put the Cubs on the board in the fifth inning on a two-run single, and he brought home another run in the seventh frame on a single to center field. Suzuki has logged two hits in each of his last three starts, and his 23 RBI on the season is tied for fourth most in the National League.

Maton was designated for assignment Saturday.

The White Sox traded for infielder Gage Workman and Maton will lose his spot on the roster as a result. Maton, 28, has hit below .175 in each of his big-league stints over the past three seasons.

The Twins placed Keaschall (forearm) on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Keaschall suffered a right forearm fracture after getting hit by a pitch in the first inning of Friday's game. The Twins haven't provided a timeline for the 22-year-old's return just yet, but it will likely be several weeks before he's ready to come off the IL.

Pederson went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over San Francisco.

Pederson singled home a run in the fifth inning to increase the Rangers' lead to 2-0. Incredibly, it was the first RBI of the season for Pederson, who has mostly batted third for the Rangers. After enduring an 0-for-41 stretch, Pederson has two hits and over his last six at-bats.

Barrosa started in center field and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 8-2 loss to Atlanta.

Barrosa made his first start (second appearance) since being called up from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday. While primary center fielder Alek Thomas has hit well to start the season, including a small-sample 3-for-9 against lefties, the Diamondbacks remain reticent to use him against southpaws. The switch-hitting Barrosa will serve as the right-handed complement in center field. He had an .857 OPS over 105 plate appearances at Reno prior to his call-up.

Steer went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the Rockies.

Steer gave the Reds a 4-1 lead in the third inning, when he took Kyle Freeland deep to left field for a two-run homer. It was Steer's second home run of the season, and over his last four games he's gone 5-for-17 with two walks, six runs and four RBI.

Polanco went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's loss to Miami.

Polanco stayed hot Friday, having now homered in two of his last three games and logged a hit in seven of his last eight. On the season, the veteran switch hitter is batting .344 with five long balls, two doubles, 16 RBI and one stolen base over 61 at-bats. Although a side issue is currently preventing him from batting right-handed, Polanco is worth a look for fantasy rosters in need of infield help in shallower leagues while he's swinging such a hot bat.
