Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Homers, swipes bag Wednesday
Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-5 victory versus Colorado.
Turner led off the game with a single and scored the first run on a double steal and subsequent throwing error. The star shortstop added a 424-foot solo blast -- the first of back-to-back jacks with Bryce Harper -- in the third inning. The long ball was Turner's first in his past 13 games, but he's been effective at the plate of late. Over his past three contests, Turner has gone 7-for-15 with four extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and Wednesday's home run).

Brewers' Luis Pena: Out with concussion
Single-A Carolina placed Pena on its 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Pena will be out for at least the next week due to the concussion, but once healthy, it may not be long before he's moved up to High-A Wisconsin given his strong performance.

Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: Swipes seventh bag
Lindor went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.
The Mets managed only four hits on the night, but Lindor did what he could to kick-start some offense from the top of the order. The All-Star shortstop is slashing just .233/.313/.397 through 18 games in May, but he's supplied three of his nine homers and five of his seven steals on the season during that span.

Adames put the Giants on the board in the fourth inning, crushing a flyball to center field for his first three-bagger of the 2025 campaign. He posted his eighth RBI of May before coming around to score. The 29-year-old shortstop is slashing .239/.316/.465 with 13 runs scored, nine extra-base hits -- including three home runs -- and a 7:23 BB:K across 79 plate appearances this month. However, he has logged a 29.1 percent strikeout rate in May, up from 23.4 percent during the first month-plus of the campaign.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Two solo homers in loss
Betts went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Betts got the Dodgers on the board with a fourth-inning solo shot and went back-to-back with Shohei Ohtani in the sixth to chip away at the deficit again. Betts' last four multi-hit efforts have been against Arizona, but he went just 3-for-20 with two steals and four RBI over six games against the Athletics and Angels last week.

Since returning from the injured list May 16, Tovar has gone 8-for-14 with the pair of long balls, three runs and four RBI over three games.
