  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Braves' Nick Allen: Absent from Saturday's lineup

    Allen (hand) is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against Boston on Saturday.

    Allen will be out of the lineup for a second straight game after he was struck in the hand by a pitch in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies. Luke Williams will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Logs third steal of 2025

    Adames went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

    Adames singled in the fourth inning before recording his first stolen base since April 30. The 29-year-old shortstop has struggled of late, slashing .139/.205/.194 with three RBI, two runs scored, a triple and a 30.8 percent strikeout rate across 39 plate appearances in his last 10 games. Overall, he owns a .209/.287/.332 slash line with 30 runs scored, 25 RBI, 16 extra-base hits -- including five homers -- three stolen bases and a 26.3 percent strikeout rate across 247 plate appearances this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Moved to third in order

    Perdomo batted third and went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Nationals.

    Perdomo had made several appearances in the upper third of the batting order this season but only when Ketel Marte was injured or resting. With Marte back from a two-game absence due to an illness, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo made the call to leave Perdomo up in the order, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Perdomo's line when batting in the upper third of the order is .291/.393/.458 with seven doubles, five home runs and 24 RBI through 31 games.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Tending to broken toe

    Betts said Friday that he has a fractured toe on his left foot but expects to miss just "a couple of days," Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Betts underwent X-rays Friday and sat out the first game of a weekend set against the Yankees due to the toe injury. The imaging appears to have revealed a fracture, but the severity may be minor, given Betts' indication that he could be back in the lineup shortly. Betts told Hernandez that the injury happened when he banged the toe against a wall while walking to the bathroom in the dark, and the star shortstop described the consequence of the fracture as "just pain." Manager Dave Roberts commented after Friday's win over New York that he doesn't expect Betts to require a stint on the injured list, and while Roberts indicated that Betts isn't likely to return to the starting lineup for either of the final two games of the series, he could be available to pinch hit, per Sonja Chen of MLB.com.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Belts two solo homers Friday

    Lindor went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.

    Lindor kicked things off with a leadoff homer off Kyle Freeland. Lindor came across home plate in the third on a Juan Soto RBI double before finishing things off with another solo shot in the eighth. It was Lindor's second multi-homer game of the season, and the 31-year-old shortstop is slashing .278/.347/.480 with 10 steals, 12 home runs and 33 RBI across 259 plate appearances this season.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Dealing with toe injury

    Betts will get X-rays after injuring a toe on his left foot Wednesday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

    Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Betts stubbed his left toe at home Wednesday and is considered day-to-day until results from the X-ray come back. Miguel Rojas -- who is starting at shortstop against the Yankees on Friday -- would stand to see more playing time if Betts is forced to the injured list. Betts has slashed .258/.336/.402 with three steals, four home runs and 12 RBI in 110 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Sitting down Friday

    Betts isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    After going 2-for-12 with an RBI and two runs scored during the Dodgers' last series in Cleveland, Betts will take a seat to begin a three-game set against New York. Miguel Rojas will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Braves' Nick Allen: Not in Friday's lineup

    Allen (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

    Allen was struck in the hand by a pitch during Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies, and he'll miss at least one start due to the injury. The 26-year-old already had X-rays come back negative and may not miss much additional time.

  • Jack Winkler 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Jack Winkler: Contract selected Friday

    The Marlins selected Winkler's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

    The 26-year-old will receive his first taste of the majors after posting a .754 OPS with five homers and 15 stolen bases in 41 games with Jacksonville to begin the season. Winkler can play all over the infield defensively and should fill a utility role with the Marlins.

  • Jack Winkler 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Jack Winkler: Promotion incoming

    Winkler is expected to be called up from Triple-A Jacksonville by the Marlins on Friday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

    Winkler has enjoyed a productive start to the season with Jacksonville and has a .275/.331/.423 slash line with five homers and 15 steals in 41 games. The 26-year-old doesn't seem to have a path to regular playing time, though his ability to play all over the infield could help him see the field as a utility player.
