Tommy Troy LF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Contract selected
The Diamondbacks selected Troy's contract from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
With Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) landing on the injured list Saturday, the Diamondbacks will call upon Troy to add depth to their position-player group. The 24-year-old has slashed .307/.397/.449 with three homers, 28 RBI, 39 runs and six steals through 205 plate appearances at Reno, and he's capable of playing in the outfield and middle infield. He'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Stays hot in loss to Atlanta
Abrams went 2-for-5 with a triple, a solo homer and three RBI in Friday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.
Abrams started the game 0-for-3 before hitting a game-tying solo blast in the top of the eighth ahead of a two-run triple in the 10th to give Washington a 4-2 lead. It was his first triple of the season. Abrams has two homers in his last three games and nine multi-hit contests this month. On the year, Abrams is slashing .299/.391/.556 with 11 homers, 45 RBI, 33 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a 23:42 BB:K across 220 plate appearances.

Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL
Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Three more hits Friday
Dubon went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Nationals.
Dubon doubled in the first inning and later singled home a run in the bottom of the 10th to send the game to the 11th. It was Dubon's second three-hit game of the week, and he's now on a five-game hitting streak. After opening the season as Atlanta's shortstop, Dubon has mainly been handling left field this month with Ha-Seong Kim back from injury. Dubon is slashing .269/.321/.407 with three homers, 29 RBI, 21 runs scored and a 12:32 BB:K across 196 plate appearances this season.

Luis Pena SS | MIL
Brewers' Luis Pena: Kicking off rehab assignment
Pena (illness) will begin a rehab assignment with the Brewers' Arizona Complex League affiliate Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Pena hasn't played since April 22, when he collapsed in the dugout at High-A Wisconsin after becoming overheated. It shouldn't be long before Pena rejoins the active roster at Wisconsin, where he's slashed .372/.462/.512 in 12 games this season.

Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL
Braves' Ha-Seong Kim: Swipes first bag of year
Kim went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Marlins.
The shortstop missed the first six weeks of the season while completing his recovery from finger surgery, and Kim looks like a player still scrambling to catch up. Over his first eight games, he's batting just .115 (3-for-26) with zero extra-base hits, but Thursday's steal was his first of 2026 and he's drawn a walk in three straight starts. Kim's also committed three errors on the season.

Jett Williams SS | MIL
Brewers' Jett Williams: Taking off at Triple-A
Williams went 27-for-83 (.325) with four home runs, 17 RBI, six steals and a 15:19 BB:K over his last 23 games with Triple-A Nashville.
Williams hit just .186 over his first 22 games with Nashville, but he has gotten going in a big way since. Williams is solidifying his status as one of the top prospects in a loaded Milwaukee system, and he may not have much left to prove at the Triple-A level.

Konnor Griffin SS | PIT
Pirates' Konnor Griffin: Racks up four hits, three runs
Griffin went 4-for-5 with three runs scored in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Cardinals.
All four hits were singles, and the Pirates' strong showing from the bottom of the order helped Griffin score multiple runs in a game for just the third time. This was his second four-hit effort of the month, and he's batting .343 (23-for-67) with seven extra-base hits and three stolen bases over 17 contests in May. Overall, the rookie shortstop is hitting .278 with a .738 OPS, three home runs, 20 RBI, 23 runs scored, seven doubles, two triples and 10 stolen bases through his first 43 MLB games.
