Winn (hip) is absent from the lineup for Saturday's game in Detroit.

He had to depart Friday's contest due to left hip tightness, an issue that has lingered since Tuesday. Winn could be ready to return to action Sunday, but it will be Thomas Saggese filling in at shortstop and batting sixth Saturday.

McLain batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 in Friday's 5-3 win over Texas.

McLain, who moved from second in the order to leadoff with TJ Friedl getting a day off, snapped an 0-for-13 skid with a third-inning single. McLain had a monster spring training (1.540 OPS, seven HR), which carried into the first few games of the regular season, but the second baseman entered Friday's game batting just .190.

De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

De La Cruz took left-hander MacKenzie Gore deep in the sixth inning to give the Reds a brief lead. It was the switch hitter's third home run of the season and second as a right-handed batter against a lefty. Historically, De La Cruz has been more productive from the left side (.846 OPS) than the right (.616). Of his 63 career home runs, only 15 have come when batting from the right side.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Giants.

Lindor had gone 0-for-9 with four walks over his previous three games. He's had a good eye so far, posting a 10:5 BB:K through eight contests, but the shortstop is batting just .185 after his second multi-hit game of the year. Slow starts are nothing new for Lindor, so fantasy managers should continue to have patience until he's able to get things to click. As long as Lindor continues to rack up steals, he has 30-30 potential while also being in a good position as the leadoff hitter for a talented lineup.

Griffin went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

Making his much-anticipated major-league debut Friday, Griffin hit seventh in the Pittsburgh lineup and doubled home Ryan O'Hearn in his first big-league plate appearance. In his second trip to the plate, Griffin drew a five-pitch walk. Griffin later struck out and grounded out to close out his day. The shortstop doesn't turn 20 years old until later this month.

Schmitt was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets due to back tightness, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Giants will give Schmitt a day off to give his back a chance to heal, but it doesn't seem like he's trending toward a stint on the injured list at the moment. Jerar Encarnacion will enter the starting nine as San Francisco's first baseman and bat ninth.

Lawlar was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a fracture in his right wrist and is expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The 23-year-old's initial X-Rays came back negative after being hit by a pitch Thursday, but he underwent a CT scan Friday that revealed a fracture that will sideline him into at least mid-May. Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa figure to see a bump in playing time while Lawlar is sidelined.

The Brewers announced Friday that Pratt signed an eight-year contract extension with club options for 2034 and 2035, and the team subsequently selected his contract to the major-league roster and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

The $50 million extension was reported early in the week, but it apparently took a few days for the two sides to hammer out all the details. Regardless, the 21-year-old Pratt has now been officially added to the 40-man roster and could be with Milwaukee for the next decade. He's received his first taste of the Triple-A level this year after posting a .242/.344/.354 slash line with eight homers and 30 steals at Double-A in 2025. Pratt will likely need to show some improvement with his bat before the Brewers give him a look in the majors, but his glove at shortstop is likely already big-league ready.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Winn departed Friday's game against the Tigers due to left hip tightness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Winn was noticeably gimpy when running out a groundball in the fifth inning and was then lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh. He noted that he first felt tightness as a result of overdoing it in the batting cage Tuesday. Winn is expected to sit out Saturday but could be back in action Sunday for St. Louis.

Schmitt went 3-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Mets.

Schmitt singled in the second inning, drew a walk in the third, hit an RBI single in the fifth and added another base hit in the seventh as the Giants earned a comfortable win. The 27-year-old infielder continues to start at first base in place of Rafael Devers, who has yet to play defense due to lingering hamstring tightness. Schmitt went hitless in San Francisco's opening series against the Yankees but recorded his second multi-hit performance of the season Thursday. He's slashing .273/.360/.318 with two RBI, a double and a stolen base across 25 plate appearances in seven games.
