  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Rays' Gavin Lux: Pulled from minor-league rehab game

    Lux (shoulder) was removed from Saturday's rehab appearance with Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Lux hit a grounder to second in the fifth inning and appeared to get injured while running to first base. He exited with a trainer, but it's not immediately clear what issue he's dealing with. Lux has been recovering from a right shoulder impingement and had been nearing the end of a rehab assignment, as Saturday marked his eighth appearance with the Triple-A club.

  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Homers in back-to-back games

    Lee went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run during the Twins' 7-4 win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

    Lee's solo home run off Eric Lauer in the third inning kick-started the Twins' seven-run frame. Lee has gone deep in back-to-back games and has accrued four RBI over his last three contests. In nine outings since April 1, he has gone 8-for-29 (.276) with six RBI and three runs scored.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Tigers transferred Sweeney (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

    The move corresponds with the Tigers claiming Grant Holman off waivers from the Dodgers. Sweeney opened the regular season on the 10-day IL due to a right shoulder strain. He was given a PRP injection Thursday, but it appears that he is not progressing in his recovery as anticipated. Now that he's on the 60-day IL, the earliest Sweeney can make his 2026 regular-season debut is late May.

  • Vaughn Grissom 2B | LAA

    Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Returns from IL

    The Angels reinstated Grissom (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

    Grissom has been on the injured list for the first few weeks of the season due to a sprained left wrist, but he's been playing rehab games in Triple-A since March 31. The 25-year-old logged a base hit in each of his nine minor-league contests, finishing his assignment 12-for-35 (.343) with five RBI and a run scored. Now fully healthy, he'll make his season debut at second base and bat sixth against the Reds on Saturday, though Oswald Peraza and Adam Frazier remain in the mix for playing time at the keystone. Jeimer Candelario was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Launches fifth homer of season

    Neto went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's win over the Reds.

    Neto blasted his fifth long ball of the season in the top of the fourth inning, and the star shortstop continues to be a driving force on offense for the Angels. This two-hit performance extended his hitting streak to six games, and he's hit safely in all but one of his appearances since the beginning of April. In eight April contests, Neto is slashing .294/.333/.588 with a double, three homers, five RBI, six runs scored and a 2:11 BB:K across 36 plate appearances.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Absent from lineup

    Baez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

    Baez will get a chance to catch his breath after going 7-for-14 with a homer and three runs scored over his last four games. Kevin McGonigle will start at shortstop while Baez sits, and Matt Vierling will patrol center field.

  • Cody Freeman SS | TEX

    Rangers' Cody Freeman: Doing baseball activities

    Freeman (back) has resumed baseball activities, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports.

    Freeman missed most of spring training due to a stress reaction in his lower back. He could return to competitive baseball in late April or early May.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Enters for injured teammate

    Duran entered Friday's 8-7 loss to the Dodgers to play left field after Wyatt Langford (quad) was removed and went 1-for-2 with an RBI.

    Duran extended a hit streak to three games with a ninth-inning RBI-single. Langford will undergo imaging to determine the severity of the injury. If the results of the testing leads to Langford missing games or a stint on the IL, either Duran or Sam Haggerty could fill in. Duran had been playing third base in place of the banged-up Josh Jung, who returned to duty Friday after a two-game absence.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Swats first homer of year

    Baez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

    Getting the start in center field and batting ninth, the veteran utility player took Chris Paddack deep in the fifth inning for his first long ball of the season. Baez will still get reps at shortstop, but he'll be part of the solution in the outfield while Parker Meadows (concussion/arm) is sidelined, a role Baez thrived in last season. He's had a quick start to 2026 at the plate as well, slashing .324/.351/.500 through 10 games with three doubles, a steal, four runs and four RBI.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Three-run blast in loss

    Seager went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Dodgers.

    Seager got the Rangers on the board in the third inning with his fourth homer of the season. The shortstop also struck out three times in this contest, which continues his struggles with making contact early in the year. He's batting .234 with an .810 OPS, 10 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over 13 contests, but he's now racked up 16 strikeouts and is fanning at a 28.6 percent clip. Seager hasn't exceeded a 20 percent strikeout rate in any of the last eight campaigns, so he'll likely get this issue reined in over time.
