  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Hits in three straight

    Ritter went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday against the Mets.

    Ritter was recalled to make his big-league debut Friday with Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) sidelined. Ritter started all three games across the team's weekend series against the Mets and had a hit in each contest. He also collected the first RBI of his career Sunday on an infield single in the ninth inning. However, Ritter has also struck out four times in 12 at-bats.

  • Nasim Nunez SS | WAS

    Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Sent to Triple-A

    Nunez was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Nunez went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in the contest before being replaced at the plate by Robert Hassell in the bottom of the eighth inning. Nunez will return to Rochester after being called up April 12, posting a disappointing .186 average with two doubles, five RBI, six runs scored and seven stolen bases over 43 at-bats in 23 games with the Nationals. It's unclear who will be replacing Nunez on the major-league roster, but Washington will have an extra day to think about it with an off day Monday before heading to New York to face the Mets for a three-game set beginning Tuesday.

  • Konnor Griffin SS | PIT

    Pirates' Konnor Griffin: Moving up to High-A

    The Pirates are set to promote Griffin from Single-A Bradenton to High-A Greensboro during the upcoming week, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    The No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Griffin is ready for a stiffer challenge after an excellent showing in the Florida State League to begin the season. Over his 50 games with Bradenton, the 19-year-old shortstop slashed .338/.396/.536 with nine home runs and 26 stolen bases.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Receiving first day off in 2025

    Adames is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Adames has started all 65 games (64 at shortstop, one at designated hitter) for the Giants this season, but he'll head to the bench Sunday after going 0-for-18 with four walks and eight strikeouts in his past six contests. The veteran shortstop inked a seven-year, $182 million contract with San Francisco in December, but his tenure has gotten off to a rocky start with a .584 OPS and just five homers in 278 plate appearances.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Receiving rare day off

    Abrams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

    Abrams started 40 straight games after recovering from a hip injury in late April, but he has a .127/.213/.182 slash line over his last 14 contests and will get a couple days to reset ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Mets. Nasim Nunez will take over at shortstop and bat ninth Sunday.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Remains in lineup for series finale

    De La Cruz will start at shortstop and bat third in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    After the recent passing of his sister, De La Cruz had been expected to be placed on the bereavement list prior to Friday's series opener versus Arizona, but the Reds never made an official transaction. The star shortstop wasn't on Friday's lineup card while he was away from the team, but after that game was suspended, he came off the bench when it resumed Saturday before going 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's regularly scheduled contest.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in loss

    Perdomo went 1-for-7 with a solo home run in losses to the Reds on Friday and Saturday. The Friday game was suspended due to rain and completed Saturday.

    Perdomo homered during the Friday portion of the first game, which was suspended after six innings with score tied 3-3. Since being moved up in the order a week ago, Perdomo has gone 3-for-25 over six games.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Reaches three times in win

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored, a double and a walk during Saturday's 11-10 extra-inning win over the Rays.

    June has been a kind month to Edwards so far as he's now recorded a hit in four of the five games he's played. The 25-year-old is 9-for-18 with four runs scored, three doubles, three RBI, two walks and just one strikeout. He is slashing .284/.355/.326 on the season, so it's good to see him getting some extra-base hits.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Three hits, two steals in return

    Lindor (toe) went 3-for-5 with two stolen bases in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

    Lindor was out of the lineup due to a broken right pinkie toe over the previous two days. He came off the bench Friday and resumed a starting role at shortstop Saturday. Considering he swiped two bags in this contest, there should be minimal concern about his injured toe going forward. The shortstop has hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games, going 17-for-48 (.354) in that span. He's up to a .289/.360/.498 slash line with 14 home runs, 13 steals, 38 RBI and 42 runs scored over 63 contests this season.

  • Jett Williams SS | MIL

    Mets' Jett Williams: OK after HBP

    Williams avoided a concussion after being hit in the helmet by a pitch Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Williams was hit by a fastball that was traveling 98 mph. He will miss a few days but is expected to be back in Double-A Binghamton's lineup quickly.
